Protect Spanish Property

El Paso, Dee. 15.-Federico Sisniega, inc Spanish consul at Chihuahua. who had been on a visit to San Francisco arrived here today. He received a cablegram from the minister of foreign affairs at Madrid which said the Wash ington government had promised it would exact from all factions in Mex ico the same respect for Spaniafds as was demanded for Americans.
 The 500 or more Spanish refugees whose property, valued at more than $5000,000 was confiscated by Gen. Villa and who arrived here without funds, although some of them were prosperous merchants in Chlhuah received offers of aid from the Span ish colonies at Havana, Mexico City and Vera Cruz.
 The refugees issued a statement to- day in which they said they meyer had supported fine Huerta government as the rebels had charged, but had re- mained neutral since the beginning of the revolution.

Washington Noncommittal

Washington Dec 15-The announee- ment that Spain was disposed to com init the safeguarding of her interests in Mexico to the United States brought forth no formal comment at the state department It was explained, how ever, tlhat efforts were being made to urge the constitutionalists not to dis criminate against Spaniards or any foreigners or their property.
 The conference of the Spanish am jbassador and Secretary Bryan last Friday, when the United States was asked to invoke the aid of American consular officers to look after Span ish subjects in Chihuahua, is under stood to have resulted from the fac that Spain had no consular officers in that vicinity. It has been suggest ed also that governments which re- cognized the Huerta government and which fight feel embarrassed in att tempting to make representations to the constitutionalists. would prefer to ask the United States to deal with the authorities in northern Mexico.

MEXICAN CONGRESS ADJOuRNS
 AFTER MAKING HIM PRAC- TlCALLY 4 DICTATOR.
TAMPICO SITUATION EASY
Admiral Fletcher Wires That He Ex- poets to Land Refugees at an Early Move in Matter.

Mexico City, Dec. 15-From now until April 2, President Huerta will be obliged to conduct the government without congress, as that specially created organization was formally ad- iourned today. It's most important acts during the session were the rati- fication of the presidents assumption of power over the various depart ments of the government, after dis solving the preceding congress, and same power, which gives Gen. Huerta until congress convenes again, prac- tically the authority of a dictator. Altogether the new congres was unobtrusive, interfering not at all with the executives ideas of govern ment. It's most notable act, aside from those directly connected with the executive plans, was the ratifica- ton of concession to Belgian syn dicate to construct 5000 miles of mar row gauge railway.
 Gen. Villas treatment of the Span iards at Chihuahua has aroused the keen sympathies of the colony here The Spanish minister, Senor Cologan Cologan, sent to Washington today through the American charge, Nelson O'Shaugsnessey, his thanks for the ct forts made by the government to re- iieve his countrymen at that place.
 The situation around Tampico is declared by the government to be sat isfactory. Late railway reports in- dicate that the rebels in their retreat took away only four locomotives and enough cars to make up four trains.
 Reports from other parts of Mexico concern the usual number of minor engagements and rebel depredations.

REBEL COMMANDER AT CHIHUA. HUA HAS MANY TROUBLES ON
 HIS HANDS JUST NOW.
HIS ARMY IS SCATTERED
And FederaIs Are Threatening Re newaI of Activities Including an At. tack on Chihuahua from the Direc. ton of Torreon.

Juarez Mexico, Dec, While reb- el headquarters in Juarez today was lpending urgent messages to Gen. Francisco Villa, the rebel commander at Chihuahua, telling him he was in- curing the displeasure of foreign countries in his action towards Span iards and other foreigners, and asking him to modify his attitude, Gen Villa himself was said Co be seriously con cerned over renewed federal ac'iv- ity.
 Reports were that federals were advancing toward Chihuahua from Torreon about 200 miles south Villa had had to scatter his forces by send, ing troops to surround the federals at Oiinaga. on the border, while gar risoning Juarez and Chihuahua. This was said to offer the federals an op- portunity to strike at Chihuahua which they evacuated when Villa and all his forces were together Fed eral troops also were reported on their way from Monterey with a view If strengthening the position of the Huerta government in the interior. An attack on Chihuahua. which is not regarded as imminent would cut Villa off from any base on the bor- der. IL was conceded by rebels that the first act of the federals, should they arrive in the vicinity of Chihua- hua, would be to stop all telegraph and railroad communication. Thus the federal evacuation of Chihuahua which occurred two weeks ago and enabled Villa to enter the state capi- tai without a battle, would prove to be military trap out of which the rebels would have to fight their way.
 The plan which the rebel forces think the federals possibly are trying to work out Is to draw as many reb- els as possible toward Ojinaga while federals from the south are hurried ! to Chihuahua.
 Others believe the federal activity southward may be merely a prepara- ton to check Villas projected march on Torreon The federals who retook Torreon, according to refugees, now also occupy Parras. The sitaution in Chihuahua on account of the protest of Spaniards against their expulsion from Mexico was less critical today, It was understood the American gov ernment had arranged for an official inquiry into Villas acts through Con sul Leteher The goods which Vita seized from the Spanish retail stores were sold at less than half price and constitutionalist money was accepted. 1 Word also came that Luis Terra

gas, Jr., for whose release from prison an appeal was sent to Secretary of State Bryan, already had granted forced loans to Villa This took the form of checks in small denomina tions, asgregating $250,000, and the checks were being used as currency
 Luis Terrazas, ST, who is a ref ugee in Fl Paso feared his son might meet violence should he be unable to furnish more funds. The father how eyer, was hopeful that representations by the American government would result in the release of the prisoner
 One explanation given by Gen. Benavides, commander at Juarez, re- garding Villas acts in Chihuahua. was that Villa had been consistent to his own idea as to what warfare was, but had been without advice in regard to the rights of foreigners.
 There was no fighting today at Oii naga where Gen, Mercado, the fed eral commander, is camped.

PRESIDENT WILSON TAKES FIX CAPTION TO BURLESQUE ON
 PHILIPPINE POLICY.
WITHDRAWS HIS MEMBERSHIP
From Organization Composed of Army and Navy Officers and Says Court Martials May Follow lll-Timed Songs and Jokes.

Nashington, Dec President Wilson tonight formally withdrew his recent acceptance of honorary mem hership in the military order of the Carabo composed of regular and vol unteer officers of the army and navy who served in the Philippine Islands during the four years succeeding the Spanish-Amorican war.
 Earlier in the day the president or dered an investigation of various satires and travesties on the adminis- trauons policy toward the Philip pines, as portrayed al a banquet of the Carabos in Washington last Thurs day night.
 The affair was attended by Secre- tarias Redfeld. Daniels and Postmast- CT General Burleson, Justices Mcken- ma and Vandeventer of the United States Supreme Court, many members Of Congress and hundreds of army and navy officers.
 The demand for an inyestigation, together with intimations from the White House that court martials and severe reprimands would not be sur prising as a result of the banquet caused a sensation in army and navy circles in the capital
 The incident first came to the pres ident's attention when he read ac- counts of it in the newspapers.
 Through his secretary he commun- icated with various members of the cabinet, expressing his indignation that officers of the army and navy should sign songs containing profane epithets toward d people whom the Trnited States was endeayoring to as sist to self government and ciyilza- tion No effort. according to White House officials, had been made 10 keep the banquet a private affair copies oi the songs and descriptions of the travesties showing opposition to the administration Philippine policy be ing given to the press generally m advance.
 It was made plain at the White House that while a general buriesque of the administrations peace policies and their thrusts at Secretary Bryan and others were deeply resented De- cause they came from army and navy officers, the chief objection was to the spirit of hostility shown to Philippine independence. as the problem is being worked out by the presens admlnls' tration.
 Secretaries Daniels and Garrison conferred at length on the subject called upon Rear Admiral Thomas T. Howard U. s. Ns and Maj. Gen

Situation at Chihuahua

Washington, Dec. t5.-Except for telegram from American Consul Let cher telling Of threats of expulsion cf Spaniards and confiscation of their property, .he state department up to late today had received no official information concerning indignities to other foreigners by Mexican rebels at Chihuahua City
 Secretary Bryan said there had been no interference wi.h Consul Letchers telegram by the consttutionalists and that so far as had been learned no threats had been made against any of he foreign consuls.
 The secretary said that on account of a break in the wire communication between Chihuahua and Juarez. Ameri- can consul Edwards at the latter place, had decided to avail himself Of tine services of C.. D Car.others, consul agent at Torreon, who arrived at Fl Paso today to go back to his post by will carry any communication which which MT. Edwards has and will assist Mir. Letcher at Chihuahua until the situa- tion is normal there.
 No instructions to Consul Letcher beyond those sent on Saturday as a result of representations by the Span. ish Ambassador here have been dis patched by The state department The tOl fr I nrff fsoJ by MT Bryan as containing the same sort of representations that has been made to Gen Carranza and Gen. Villa on previous occasions vigorously pointing to the importance of respect ing foreigners and their property. Mir Letcher also was instructed 10 urge that no summary action be taken with reference to Luis Terrazas IT., the wealthy land owner, reported to have been taken forcibly from the British consulate by Villas men.
 Information with respect to the situation at Chihuahua is meagre through telegrams from the Spanish refugees now at Fl Paso have been received at the state department. Be fore additional protests are made to Villa word will be awaited from Con su Letcher as to what actually took place when the Spanish subjects left the city.
 A request from the consul at Acapul- co for the protection of foreigners there was referred to Rear Admiral Cowles in command of the American ships on the Pacific coast of Mexico.

Thinks Report Exaqqerated

Hermosillo, Sonora, Dec. 15.-Gen. Carranza has received no direct re port from Gen. Villa concerning the situation at Chihuahua, but he an nounced tonight information received from indirect sources led him to be live that reports of mistreatment of foreigners were overdrawn
 It was said Gen. Villa had merely expelled some Spanish priests and merchants who had been active in as- sisting the Huerta government. Much surprise was manifested at the stories told in El Paso by foreign residents of Chihuahua.
 The general impression seemed to be the reports were exaggerated and when the truth became known the matter would not be considered of international consequence.
 A full report from Villa which Car ranza has requested mus come part of the way by courier and is moi expected until tomorrow.

James Aleshire, U. S. A.. the two highest officers of the Carabos for an explanation. They promised to give all the information desired. They would not discuss the incident for publication.
 Dr. Joseph NJ. Heller secretary of the Washington Corral of the Cara bo, issued statement tonight ex- pressing regret on behalf of the mem bers of the order, particularly those who had 10 do with Thursday nights dinner. that any feature of the pro- gram had given offense
 "The members of the order feel sure" Dr Heller said, that the high officials present at the dinner must have observed the spirit in which things were done, and must realize as they were intended to realize. that there was no effort to reflect on any one nor upon anything.
 'I am sure that officers of the army and of the navy would be the last men in the world to ridicule the admins

 The song, Damn, Damn, Damn the lnsurrectos was inspired fifteen years ago during the insHrrection in the islands, in the heat of a vicious campaign and amid hardships and pri- yations and it was sung by the first volunteers that went to the Philip pines, and has been every year since As the words of the song indicate, the men wanted the insurrection over and to be returned to their own be loved bOmes.' As it stood originally the song read Filipino instead of 'in- surrecto Three years ago it was rec ognized that conditions had changed and so the wording of the song was altered so that there would no longer he fling at the Filipino
 "The motion picture, The Governor and the Colonel wNs rrst produced in Manila in September. 1913, and sent here for. the Carabo dinner ItI simply depicts the experience of ey- cry man that served in the Philip pines in the early days, showing the difficulties and perpleXities of running down the willy and dangerous insur- rectos who used to be so prevalent. Other features of the evening were produced entirely in a spirit of fun and not in one of harmful ridicule.
 At all of our previous dinners il has been the custom not only to take certain funmaking liberties with cur rent events but also with the serv- ice and wsl individuals, most of whom belong to the order.
 Annually for eleven years we have offered an evening of entertainment to many men high in public life, in the business world and in the profes- sions. and it is now matter for deep regret that our efforts at pure fun making should no warouse criticism
