FIERY.EYED HOUND
LED FOOTPAD BAND
Animal That Grabbed Policeman
During Raid in Park Rivals
Baskerville Dog.

Many pedestrians who have passed
the vicinity of Mosholu Parkway, be-
low Gun Hill road, in The Bronx, late
at night have reported TO the Kings
bridge police station thrilling stories of
"A mysterious dog that they have be-
held roaming the lonely sections of the
parkway. Some said the animals eyes
CLEANED with pale. piercing light
that resembled phosphorescence in the
wake of ships at sea.
Early yesterday morning Mounted Po-
liceman McKiernan saw four men Turk
ing in the shadows in the loneliest
part OF the boulevard. He chased and
caught one of them. AS he was about
to put handouts on his man he heard
n snarl and his right leg was gripped
as though in vice. Writing about
the policeman saw huge hound chew
ing viciousy at his leathern leggings.
McKiernan lunged at the animal with
his night stick and landed a blow on
its head. The dog dropped.
McKiernan hurried off to the station
with his prisoner. When he came back
with two other officers the hound was
missing.
When the prisoner was arraigned
before Magistrate Breen in the Norris
ania Police Court yesterday, the
magistrate asked:
Ibid you rub phosphorus on the
dog"
Michele said he didn't own the dog.

A patient was received from oyster

The first patient in the hospital TO
have diphtheria was Carmine Capo-
cimbo. from oyster Bay. He i'm turn
gave the disease TO Dennis Daley. who
was transferred TO the contagious ward
Of Kings County Hospital last night.
In the mean time the nurse had given
the disease TO eleven others.
The first call for the ambulance came
short time after the quarantine had
been declared. The call was answered,
but the patient was taken 10 the Mercy
Hospital, in Hampstead, which will re-
ceive all the patients for the Nassau
Hospital while 1t Is quarantined.
The Sc was that Of Miss Freda
Wilkinson, OF No. O3 Greenwood ave-

EFFECT OF u. S. TARIFF
IN ENGLAND DISCUSSED
Commercial Men Well Informed
and Disposed to Take Adj
vantage of New Law.
tBy Cable TO The Tribune. J

London, Dec. 15.-"The Times" has
obtained from its correspondents in
the leading commercial and Industrial
centres Of England, as well as from
Dundee, in Scotland, and Belfast, IN
Ireland, reports bearing on the effect,
actual or prospective, of the Under
wood tariff upon British trade with the
United States.
As might be expected the reports
vary very much in character Some
are optimistic and others diffident,
while some reports reveal the CHARGE
tersticaly British attitude of caution
and suspended judgment in marked
degree.
In perh. IS the majority Of industrial
towns no appreciable. expansion of
business has yet been experienced, but
in several cases, notably in Leeds Dun
dee and Belfast, distinct flip is
stated to have been already given to
tariff barrier.
In few places it appears to he re-
allied that the effect may not be en-
tirely one-sided; in fact, American
manufacturers in certain lines may be-
come formidable rivals in the British
home market.
The prevailing attitude may perhaps
be best described as one Of hopeful but
cautious anticipation. but the reports
generally certainly lend no support to
and merchants are not either well in
formed with regard TO the opportunities
presented by recent fiscal legislation in
the United States or ndisposed TO take
the fullest advantage of them.

Villa the Real Victor.

Meanwhile. the doings Of General
Pancho Villa in the north are being
watched here with great interest, and
it is thought they may have important
bearing on the situation. All recent
rebel successes of any consequence
have been achieved by Villa. 1T was
he who took Torreon, chihuahua and
Ciudad JuareZ.
ano Carranza remains inactive in Som
ora, and talks of sending an envoy
10 expostulate with Villa on the lat
ter's arbitrary acts, such as the ex-
pulsion Of Spaniards from Chihuahua.
and the confiscation of their property.
All this is thought here BY many
to place Carrsnza in a rather ridicu
lous and undignified light. After Vii
las recent triumphal progress II Is
doubted here whether in future he will
submit ,dmely TO Carranza's leader
ship. This view is held in particular
by those who know Villas record and
his wild and untamed character. 1t
is pointed out that the revolution has
taken on q new and anomalous phase
I'm that its most conspicuous figure at
the present tim is a man whose crimi-
nal record as brigand Is we'll known
That Carranza Is 2 scholar and man
OF culture. and that he is actuated by
principle. is not denied here by the
more candid even Of his enemies,
whereas il is held that Villa seeks only
loot and the satisfaction of his fero-
cious instincts.
II is also claimed that in Morelos,
Puebla, Guerrero and elsewhere in
Central and Southern Mexico there are
many villas on smaller scale, and
the hope is expressed here that Wash
ington Will take into account that the
Huerta government, whatever it's orr
gin may have been, Is the sole power
that can protect the lawabiding ele-
ments Of the community from the ex-
cesses of these enemies of society," and
that every weakening OF the Huerta
government means a corresponding
diminution Of its ability to accomplish
that task.

Declares His Army Is
Ready for Active Work
from New Years.
TEN MONTHS SPENT
IN RAISING FORCES
Dictator Gives Assurance That
Rebels Can Never Stand
Against His Power.
tBy Gable to The Tribune.

Mexico City, Dec. 14-Preslden'
Huerta, in a private letter under yes
terday's date. answers three questions
relating TO the present condition OF
the revolution. the strength of the
army and Mexico's foreign relations.
Regarding the first point Huerta says,
in part:
The revolt has not terminated, for
the simple reason that my government
has barely been ten months In exist
ence. and when it took charge it found
the treasury empty and an armed
force scarcely numbering nineteen
thousand men Of the regular army ana
eight thousand Maderista Rurales'
who, before the end Of February last
had for the most part deserted en-
masse or had rebelled against the ne"
government. Thus, | repeat, the gov
eminent found itself without the means
indispensable for guaranteeing the
tranquility of all citizens of the re-
public throughout an immense extent
of national territory.
For this reason my government mas
devoted all its attention 10 the orGani-
cation Of the army. increasing It, with
the full consent Of Congress, first 10
eighty thousand men, which figure has
been reached. With this nucleus prep
arations have been made for the mill
tary operations which have TO be I'M
dertaken for the pacification of the re-
public.
AS is notorious, this period OF prep
aration has brought about the pacifca-
ton of twenty-five states, three terri
tories and the Federal district, and II
has been possible to confne the reyo-
luton 10 five states only.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1913-12-15
Real Campaign to Come,

From what | have said, it will he
seen that the campaign against the
Northern rebels has not, properly
speaking begun, the reason being lack
Of forces, of which, however, the gov
eminent is now in possession. The
ca mpaign will be pushed resolutely as
from January next. and YOU may rest
assured, as the government is, that the
rebels can never make a serious stand
against the power of the republic"
Huerta goes on TO say that the in
crease of the army TO 10000 men is
for the purpose Of assuring the perma-
nence Of peace. He adds that each
state has local militia Of 1000 men,
and $1,000 haciendados have been au-
thorized to employ ten armed men each
for the protection of their farms, 30
that, altogether. for the restoration OF
peace the government counts force OF
over 100000 men. In regard 10 interna-
tional relations Of Mexico Huerta says:
Il have simply to say TO YOU that we
are at peace with the whole world, and
while it is true that a great people
have withdrawn from us their valued
and important friendship, it is not we
who are TO blame
Huerta's declarations that the cam
paign against the rebels has scarcely
begun, and that it will be pushed Wig
orously from the first of the new year,
and that the insurgents have no chance
of making a serious stand against the
power Of the Federal government are
regarded as showing how confident he
is. They seem effectually to dispose
of the rumors of his intended retire
ment, which have circulated from time
80 time.

Grand Rapids, Mimi, Oct. 4.-The fate
of Louis Nocovitch, charged with the
murder OF Steve and Mike V~ukobrotovich
April 10 last, will go to the jury this af-

defense this morning and declared that
the two Vukobrotovich men attacked and

to protect himself. His story was some
what involved, however, and he contra

completed his testimony at noon.
Edward Bruett Of the Stevenson 10
cation at Keewatin, a mining captain.
testified late yesterday that the defend
ant had always been a decent, peaceable
young fellow during the four months
that he had worked Tor the mining COM
pany. Ben Bocish testified that he had

dead men for some time, and thai he

bar, and that he knew that they were

defense failed, however, to prove its
most important point, that threats had
been made during the afternoon OF April
