RUMORS OF DISCORD .
in CABINET HEARD
SECRETARY BRYAN HURRIEs TO
ANNOUNCE THAT HE IS NOT
TO RESIGN

Washington, April 25. Secretary Of
State Bryan today denied widespread
and persistent reports that he would
resign from the cabinet. When in
formed Of published reports that he
would relinquish his post should war
be declared against Mexico, Mr.. Bryan
said ).
"The subject Of my resignation has
never been discussed with anybody
nor thought Of by me-"
White House officials pointed to the
general denial issued few days ago
of the story that Secretary Bryan
would resign saying that statement
was sufficient to cover all rumors of
cabinet dissension.
Outside of the White House there
has been considerable discussion Of
the individual views known to be held
by members of the cabinet on the
present situation. None of these is
said to be serious or approaching any
breach in the presidents official fam
ily, but there have been natural DIFF
ferences of opinion as to what aggres-
Esive measures would be pursued. The
president himself, it is said, has in.
vited the widest range of suggestions
from his advisors and has steered a
middle course between those who ia
vor a quickly aggressive policy and
those who believe war can be best
laverted by the patient observation and
carefully deliberated action.
All the cabinet secretaries denied
that there is any serious division.

of shots between strikers and mine
guards at Chandler in Fremont coun-
ty, while union headquarters here
stated that no authentic account of

Trouble at Florence

Florence, Colo, April 25.-A brisk
skirmish occurred between armed
strikers and a small number of guards
at the Chandler mine Of the Victor
American Fuel company, six miles
from here at o'clock this morning.
Many houses in the town were pierced
by bullets and women and children
were hidden in places of safety.
At o'clock the strikers had taken
a strong position in the hills sur
rounding the mine and were keeping
up lively fire, which later was re-
sumed.
At 1:40 o'clock this afternoon tele-
phone advices from the Chandler mine
were to the effect that desultory fir
ing was still maintained by the strik-
ers. It was understood that word had
been sent to the miners by union off
cials to discontinue the attack, but that
the message had not as yet been de-
livered.
