Prisoners Behavior suIIen Since Gov.
Glynn Refused to Sign the
One-Ykar Parole Bill.

Ossining, N. Y.-Sing Sing pris-
on is on fire. The whole of the
fire apparatus of this village had been
called up there, and almost the entire
body of inhabitants were spectators.
The blaze was in the enameling shop,
connected with wagon works in the
northern part of the prison yard.
The flames, which we're discovered
at 1920, had a serious hold before the
hremen could 60 to work. These are
the same works as we're destroyed in
one of the four ineendiary fires which
consumed about 100000 worth Of
state property last summer, when
Warden John S. Kennedy was re-
moved and James M. Clancy became
head of the prison.
1t is believed that this mornings
blaze is incendiary, too. Yesterday
morning about 1870 ~convicts struck
work in the knitting shop. They re-
NAMED on strike all day. but in the
evening went to their cells, and it
was supposed then that the trouble
was over.
1t is believed that there Is strong
feeling among the convicts W Gov,
Glynn's refusal to sign the one-year
parole bill. Since then all the pris-
oners have been very sullen in their
behavior and it has been feared that
they were plotting something.

War Preparations Pushed.
Wal preparations were actively
pushed in Washington, as the pre-
vailing belief in official circles is that
Gen. Huerta will surely reject the
offer OF mediation by the three South
American republics. Neither Huerta
nor Carranza has replied to the me-
diation offer.
Arrangements were made by the
war department for the mobilization
of the militia.
BY orders of Huerta, according to
a report, 1875 Americans were dragged
from a train while fleeing Mexico City
and turned loose at the mercy of
mobs and Infatuated Mexicans.
Huerta consented to, permit the 800
Americans he had held in the City Of
Mexico as hostages to depart for Vera
Cruz. Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the Brit
ish ambassador in Washington, made
this possible through the British en-
bassy in Mexico City.
Fears are entertained that so Amer
leans, most of them women and chill
dren, refugees from Ague Calientes,
have been mastered by Mexican
mobs or soldiers. They were dragged
from a train while on their way to
Vera Cruz, mobs demanded their lives
and priests were summoned to hear
confessions, when soldiers INTERVIEWED
and thrust them into prison in the
smelter at Aqua Calientes.
News of their plight was carried to
Vera Cruz by one man who escaped.
Canada, the American cousul at
Vera Cruz, is doing his utmost to have
their lives spared.
British and German was vessels
took on board several hundred Amer
lean refugees at Tampico and carried
them to Vera Cruz, whence they will
be trans-shopped to Galveston.
The tender Dixie, laden with hun
dreds of refugees, arrived at Calves

SOL0Ns RESTLESS
OVER SITUATION
HuERTA's FAILURE TO DECLARE
WAR PREVENTS US TAKING
AGGRESSIVE STEPS.
INACTIVITY is DISAPPOINTING
Authorities Are Urged by Leaders to
Take Definite Stand, but So Far
All knowledge Is With
held From Public.

Washington, D. c. Huerta is
preventing the United States from
starting an aggressive campaign in
Mexico. President Wilson and all of
his advisers were confident that his
handing of passports to 0'Shaughnes-
sy would be followed by a formal dec
laration of war. This would then have
permitted the United States to have
accepted the def and rushed its troops
into the interior from Vera Cruz.
Huerta, instead, has contented him
self with issuing proclamations de-
%nouncing the United States, calling on
all classes Of Mexicans to rally to the
support of the government, but not
issuing the document that would mean
a formal war. AS a result the admin
istration has been unable to take any
steps toward actual reprisals other
than the landing of its men at Vera
Cruz.
The diplomatic situation over Mex
leo is causing unrest in Washington.
Congressional leaders are importuning
the White House for an announcement
of a definite policy, but no word comes
from the president. He and his ad-
visers may have a definite plan, but
all knowledge of it is withheld from
the public. The inevitable result of a
campaign of silence has been the cir
culation of rumors which are accepted
as truth because they are not denied.
There is a tenseness in congress which
may break into open criticism of Sec
rotary Bryan and the president at any
moment.
Congressional leaders generally be-
lieve that the president and Bryan
have been in negotiations with Car
rama. They say they are assured that
the president sent word to Gen. Villa
that with Vera Cruz in the hands of
the United States forces there was
now no reason why the constitutions
alist forces 0 at Tampico should
not push directly southwark without
delay and take Mexico City. These
congressional chieftains insist the re.
ports that the constitutionalists have
renewed their assault on Tampico con-
firms this belief.
The White House and state depart
E1ent refuse to discuss the matter. But
Secretary Bryan and Secretary Dan
iels have issued several direct state
ments praising C~arranza, Villa and
their men and Insisting there is no
chance that they will join hands with
Huerta.
