Alarming Reports Stir State

Washington, Jan. 22.-At the request
Of tie department of state the gun.
boat Wheeling was directed to pro,
coed to Vera Cruz. on the east coasl
of Mexico.
Alarming reports from Consul Can
ada at Vera Cruz were responsible for

Der of American citizens at Vera Cruz
fea rthere is strong probability of an.

ances in the vicinity of Vera Cruz.
The instructions sent Commander
Hutchinson, of the Wheeling, are very
general and leave it to him to exer-
else his discretion in the case of an
emergency arising while he is at Vera
Cruz which may endanger the life and
property of Americans.
The action of the state department
in sending ship to Vera Cruz in ad.
vance o. any marked disturbance at

termination of the Taft administration
to do all within its power to prevent
any occurrence of such a character as
to prove severely embarrassing to eth
er Mexico or the United States. 1t Is
the intention of President Taft at this
time to turn the Mexican situation

ripe the jerboa gnaws through Its
stem. digs away the earth beneath it
and lets it drop into the hole thus
formed. The wind soon covers 1t with
sand. which not only conceals 1t. but
also protects it from the heat. On the
coming of the drought the jerboa seeks
out one after another Of these natural
water barrels and stakes its thirst at
them until the rainy season sets In

supply of from forty to fifty melons.
there is no danger Of its store of water
