Washington, May 9.-Private Parks,
orderly for Lieut.. Col. Elmore Tag
CART. who disappeared inside the Mex
lean lines with two Of Colonel Tag
gart's horses. was put to death by the
Mexicans near Tejera, according to
reports received from Vera Cruz.
A Mexican railroad man. the au-
thority for the report, said he was told
by one of General Mas officers. with
whom he had talk in the vicinity OF
the execution. that Parks had been
killed. He said also that the Mexican
soldier told him that two nights be-
fore another man dressed like an
American soldier had been executed.
Colonel Taggart went by train as
far as the break in the railroad near
Tejara to try to get information con-
corning Parks. He said he had heard
the same story as that told by the
railroad man.
High tension marked the Mexican
situation both on the military and dip
lomatic side.
The War Department was the chief
center OF activity and 1t became
known that the sending OF additional
troops to Vera Cruz would be carried
out.
A cablegram from Admiral Badger
announced that the German ship.
Kronprinzessin Cecelie. arrived at
Puerto Mexico during the day. wheth-
er the vessel had discharged her cargo
was not stated.
This may present an incident sim.
liar to the arrival OF the Ypiranga at
Vera Cruz with her cargo OF mum.
tions. which led to the American oc.
cupation of that port.
Huerta's protest to the mediators
that the United States had broken the
armistice by landing additional troops
at Vera Cruz was considered by the
cabinet and later Secretary Bryan an.
nounced that the reply OF this govern.
ment stated no aggressive steps had
been taken by the United States
forces and that nothing had been done
In violation OF the suspension OF hos.
tilities.
II also became known that inquiries
had been made OF the governors OF
states to ascertain the condition OF
national guards. and how soon they
could be prepared for active service
II conditions required.
Indications are that II national
guards are called upon they would not
be sent out OF the country. but would
be used on the Texas border. relieving
regulars there who would thus be
available for reinforcing the troops

Juarez, May 1.-THE most desper-
ate battle of the present Mexico Revo-
luton was fought last night at Tam
pico, according to reports reaching
constitutionalist officials here. Some
OF the oil wells and tanks are burn
ing and a portion of the town Is on
fire. Hundreds are said to have been
killed.
Seven thousand Constitutionalists
under Generals Pedro Gonzales and
Luis Caballero are engaged.
General Jesus Carranza with his
brigade was thought to form part Of
the force attacking Tampico but 1t
was learned that 1t had been decided
that lie was needed in the campaign
on Saltillo, and the Carranza brigade
was sent back to Monterey.
All Americans have been taken
aboard the United States warships.
but other foreigners are scattered
throughout the oil well district. 1t
was this section of the battlefield that
the United States government sug-
gested should be made neutral zone.
The Constitutionalist generals refused
TO adopt this suggestion.
BY the light of the blazing oil tanks
fired by stray shots, the rebel artil-
lerymen hurled shot after shot from
twenty heavy field-guns into the
strongly-entrenched position held by
General Ignacio Morelos Zaragonza
the federal commander. In the center
OF the town. sweeping the breastworks
with hail of shrapnel In an effort
to open the way for dash by GEN
eral Pablo Gonzales infantry.
For the first time In the fighting
between the men OF Huerta and Car
rama. the Constituencies were on
equal terms with the Federals In the
matter OF artillery.
The twenty French field guns cap
tured by General Gonzales at Monte
rey and placed in position before Tam
pico have done tremendous execution,
the French shrapnel bursting with the
utmost precision in sharp contrast to
the homemade shells used by villa
In his battles about Torreon.
General Gonzales. advancing from
the north under cover OF the artillery
fire, seized portion OF the outskirts
Of the city and maintained his posi-

Futures opened quiet.
HAYWARD G. cLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 17-Consider-
ing the enormous difference OF l3O
points at which Liverpool is above
New York in the May position, the
English market is holding remarkably
well. Futures to-day were to points
lower as due, but spot prices are only
point lower; sales 5000 bales. This is
only another instance in which the de-
preston in futures is altogether senu-
mental ON the bearish example of the
Northern market. However, the dis
now so great that further bear opera
lions In futures, regardless of spot
facts, appear almost impossible.
The following press report from New
lions have changed and that bearish
sentiment is less entitled to control the
markets: Reports to a leading paper
from all parts of the country indicate
1t is apparent that the settlement of
the currency and tariff question has re-
stored confidence in the present admin
istration. Manufacturers and business
men are now making preparations for
record breaking years business.
Moscow Russia. cables that mill
stocks are about 80 per cent smaller
than last year. Similar news comes
generally from Europe, and shows how
strained financial conditions in the last
five months of the old year and in
creased crop views on the basis of
large receipts due to the rapid move
meut and decline in the market. have
worked jointly toward delay in stock
provision. Indications are now for a
rapid change in statistics, which will
call for a revision in crop ideas. The
change seems to have begun, as Texas
port receipts for tomorrow are esti-
mated at only half of those of last
year Pressure and conditions gener-
ally have certainly combined toward
the rapid moving of this crop. and that
is the point we expect statistics to
show from now on.
our market opened little easier. but
ruled very steady. with no desire to
sell as no weakness is indicated in
spots. However this market is al
ready 60 points over New York on May
