Absence, Heard from In U. s. fn-
 fantry-Forest Fire Threatens vot-
 untown Catholic Church.
 Mrs. Eliza Smith and Fred Smith of Jewett City received a letter Mon day from their son and brother, Will liam Smith, from Vera Cruz. The young mans whereabouts has been unknown for nine months. He has has been in the thick of the battles. His letter was very interesting. It was dated May 3. He had enlisted a week before He said they had got most of the Mexican army bottled up in the mountains, and the Americans are too much for them. They had q hard time getting into Vera Cruz and lost eleven men. but the Mexicans lost 300. Twelve miles from there. there was another fight when the Americans took the waterworks. They only lost three men; the Mexican loss was sev- enty.
 He said a large number of men had died on account of the heat, which was fierce. They hiked forty miles in a day and night across the desert The horses are all. dying because they can- not endure the heat.
 The worst trouble they have is from the snipers. They fire from the trees and the soldiers can't see where the shot comes from.
 The moving picture men are with them all the time. One who was with his company was knocked of a box car and his machine was broken.
 MT. Smith has formerly served in the First coast artillery at Fort Wright and was in the navy eight years. He was on the battleship Georgia in it's trip around the world.

VIOLENCE SPREADS
THROUGH COLORADO
Conditions Become More Sc
rious Than at Any Time Since
Inception of Strike.
SEVEN MINE GUARDS ARE
KILLED IN SOUTHERN ZONE
Simultaneous Attack on Mines in
Northern Field Is Made, With
Unknown Casualty List.

DENVER. Col. April 2S.-Conditions in
the Colorado coal fields today became
more serious than at any time since the
inception of the strike last September
Violence spread from the southern fields
to those of the extreme north. continuing
with vlgor in the southern zone which
probably cost the lives OF seven mine
guards at the NalSen mine near WalSen-
burg. and. being naugurated in the
northern field by simultaneous attacks
on the mines of the Louisville Lafayette
and Marshall with an unknown casualty
list The conflicts between strikers and
mine guards at Walsen and at the Hecla
mine at Louisville continued throughout
the night. The arrival of the militia from
Ludlow at the Walsen mine apparently
had no effect upon the many strikers who
kept UP their fire at the mine from long
range even after the troopers reinforced
the defenders
At midnight the militia reached Wal
senhurS and its forces of fifty men was
divided. half remaining in Walsenburg
and the other half going to the Walsen
mine by roundabout route to avoid con-
tact with the strikers. Upon their ar
rival they determined to do nothing more
than aid in the defense of the mine prop
erty until the developments of the day
more clearly defined the work that would
be needed of them
