road, Engineer Elliott and Conductors

Weunch, his son, Sydney, A. NJ. Thomas
and Mr.. Boyd, an Englishman, were ar
rested by the federals
The belief that the federals intended
TO execute at least four of the prisoners
was gained from the conversation of the
soldiers who captured them, which was
overheard by passengers on the train.
The prisoners were taken to Cordoba
and, il is believed IL ter were transferred
to 0rizaba, a point lear the capital.
Eighteen Americans are still in Tiern

fected with some formalities Greetings
exchanged between the chiefs of staff.
Both sides carried flags of truce.
"The rumor has reached Mexico City
that no Mexicans were allowed to leave
Vera Cruz, and it was reported that in
consequence Huerta would not allow any
more Americans to leave Mexico City.
Mexicans in Vera Cruz have been al
lowed to leave at will and every facility
and transportation available has been
given but none has been able to go out
on trains. Captain Huse was directed
to lay emphasis on this fact and to ex-
press a strong desire to send daily trains
TO convey Mexicans from Vera Cruz to
meet trains bringing foreigners from
Mexico City. General Corona promised
to bring it to the attention of Huerta."

second annual reception at Spauldng

lawn between the Persons and Watsons'
houses. Arthur Watson and Lucille Per-
sons, long destined for one another by
their respective relatives, are suddenly
told after a separation of seven years,
that they are to get engaged at once.
Neither likes the idea and, being per-
sonally unknown to one another each
persuades three friends to masquerade
under their names for a day. The re-
suit is bewilderingly funny.
