Huerta was Squelched.

Vigorously squelched by Nelson
O'Shaughnessy and Spanish Minister
Caligan, President Huerta today un-
qualifiedly withdrew the threat to
confiscate the property of foreigners
at Mazatlan for the non-payment OF
the per cent tax arbitrarily imposed
by the governor of Sinaloa state. The
government moreover has reduced the
tax by one-half and it is not certain
they would get that.

Trouble With ConstitutionaIists.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-During the
past few days there have filtered
through official circles reports which
are, to say the least, not reassuring.
From high authority the statement
comes that there is still very diff
cult problem in Mexico if the Constitu-
tionalists overthrow Huerta and if Car
rama should assume the presidency
There are members of the diplomatic
corps here who are endeavoring to as
certain what guarantees there are that
all factions of the rebels will stick
together and unite on some man for
the presidency and will give him that
undivided support essential to the task I
of restoring peace and ORDER

Vinol is wonderful combination of
two world-famed tonics-the medici~

fore it is perfectly safe medi-
cine for children, because tits not a
patent medicine, everything in it is
printed on every package, SO mothers
may know what they are giving their

Therefore we ask every mother of
a weak, sickly or ailing child in this
vicinity to try Vinol on our guaran-

The cattle markets abroad arc pref
