FUNSTON DENIES THAT He
HAS BROKEN ARMISTICE
No Extension of Lines Despite Advantage in Such Action
Work of Rescuing Americans from Danger Zones
Rebels Rushing Campaign Steadily Forward

Vera Cruz. May 10.-The publication
in Mexico City papers of a statement
by General Banquet, minister of war,
that the Americans had already
broken the armistice by extending the
lines and scouting has caused Brig.
Gen. Funston to notify Washington
that there is no truth in this report.
Scrupulous care has been taken not
to exceed the orders of the war de-
partment regarding the advancing of
lines even though a very slight extern
sion would be of great advantage in
enabling the city to procure a much
needed increase in garden and dairy
products. Recently it has been some
what easier for farmers to bring their
products into the city, as the close
watch that was originally kept on
them by the Federal soldiers has been
relaxed. But bands of irregulars have
been seriously interfering with them
in certain districts.
Band Chief Arrested
Francisco Vargas, leader of one of
these bands, entered the city today
and was promptly arrested, being
held for the disposal of military
headquarters. He is a rich ranch own
er, who recently organized a band of
40 men. This band has been patrolling
the country between the American and
Mexican lines and OBTAINING and rob-
bling vendors of milk, vegetables and
other products.
General Mas gives as his reason for
OBTAINING six railway men who three
times have attempted to leave their
headquarters at Orizaba for Vera Cruz,
that they were detected tampering
with locomotives in order to render
their use impossible. The efforts of the
agent of the consulate to obtain their
release have been so successful that it
is believed they and their families will
soon be permitted to leave the country.

Efforts to get the remaining Ameri-
cans out of Jalapa have developed that
there are only three there and they
were half Mexican and refuse to
leave. Trains are being run from the
capital to Jalapa which is to the north
of Vera Cruz on the Inter Oceanic
Railroad.
A train which arrived of the Mexican
Railway today brought only seven
Americans, but more than 100 French
and Germans were aboard.
In addition to these there were
about 300 Mexicans, none of them
prominent in the affairs of the re-
public, but representing the better
classes who fear to remain in the
capital on account of possible condi-
tons later
w. H. Carr and Frank Miller were
among the seven. The only American
residents of the capital who came to-
Gay were Mr.. and Mrs. Raul Head,
w. C. Bradley and w. Wembly. Many
of those left in the capital came from
points in the interior. The general
opinion of those who have arrived Is
that only a few of the Americans Will
avail themselves of the opportunity to
leave. Few English are leaving but
the German and French are anxious
to reach Vera Cruz.
Rebels from the north have pushed
southwark as far as Silao, in the state
of Guanagpato, leaving Aguas Calientes
and Zacatecas garrisoned. according to
a report current in the capital last night.
Reliable information as to the rebel
movement is not obtainable in Mexico
City. but so changed has the public mind
become that the people are inclined to
regard as true even the widest stories
of rebel successes. A marine named
Saunders was accidentlly shot today by
Charles Cannon. also marine. Cannon
was examining pistol when it was dis
charged.

An Attempt to
Wreck Owl Express

Windsor Locks, CT, May 10.-An at
tempt was made early today to wreck
the New York bound owl Express
from Boston, on the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad by plac-
ing a quantity of steel rails on the
tracks. The engineer saw the OBJ
struction but before the heavy engine
could be brought to stop it had
ploughed half way through the pile.
Railroad men say that if the engine
had been lighter it is probable that
the train would have been derailed
into the canal, which runs parallel to
the track. Detectives and town au-
thorities are working on the case.
