 Much apprehension is felt in diplo- matic quarters as to the fate of for- eigners at Mexico City in case a sud- den revolt should overthrow Huerta and permit the entry of the lawless hordes of Zapata and other undis- ciplined rebel bands. Foreigners in the capital are said to number 6000 not counting Americans, most of whom have left. Zapata is regarded as the most immediate menace. A govern ment official who recently arrived from Mexico City describes the Zapata forces as the most desperate type of Indian.
 Word has also reached some of the legations here of Greats Zapata has sent from time-,to time to leading cit lzens and their wives and daughters in towns pSar where he is operating. one message is said to have notified a prominent citizen that when the town Vas captured Zapata would cut off his ears and feat them fried An other from Zapata to the daughter of a merchant is said to have informed her in rcvolting language to prepare to become his wife on his taking the

 The war department had not been officially informed of the arrest of Lieut. Charles M. Maigne, retired army officer. acting as correspondent of Washington newspaper and said to be under detention as a spy at Sole dad. General Funston reported today that Lieutenant Maigne had gone through the Mexican federal lines
 Officials express dissatisfaction that Lieutenant Maigne went to the front in private capacity and penetrated the Mexican lines. The secretary previously had ordered army officers to cease writing for newspapers. The Duke of Connaught. governor general of Can ada, is taking steps to have suitable attention and courtesy extended to the South American mediators and dele gates from the United States and Mex leo at Niagara Falls.
 The arrival of General Huerta's dele gates at Key West or Galveston within the next day or two is receiving atten- ton. But what the nature of the escort or courtesies should be under existing conditions has not been determined The mediators are yet uncertain wheth- i CT the arrival will be at Key West or Galveston.

GOV. DOCKERY
Compares Expenditures of Republi-
can and Democratic Congresses
Democrats Save Mil
lions to People.

Washington. D. G., October H.
In view of many misrepresentation
by the Republicanpartisan press as
to the expenditures of the present
Congress, former Gov. A. NJ Dockery
now Assistant Postmaster General
who was recently in Mis- ,ouri sub
mitte1 the following comparative
statement showing the appropria-
tiOns and contract liabilities of the
last session of the last Congress as
compared with the appropriations
and contract liabilities of the first
session of the Democratic Congress
now about to close.
The appropriations and contract
liabilities of the last session of the
TAFT Congress were $1,167, 1885,
1852 40. The appropriations and
contract liabilities of the first seS-
sion of the Wilson Democratic
Congress aggregate to date SLAB
870,576 rs; a difference of $685.
1856 Is in favor of the Democratic.
obviously, however. justice to
the present Congress requires that
certain extraordinary expenditures
be deducted that the two sessions
may be put upon fair compare
tive footing. We must take, there
fore, from the total appropriations
and contract liabilities of this ses-
sion the expenditures on account
the troubles in Mexico and the war
in Europe, amounting to $28781,-
1855, 1t follows. therefore, that
the total current appropriations and
liabilities, exclusive of these war
expenditures, are $4,000, 10
less than the last session of the
Congress which assembled under
President Taft.
These figures are all from the
records of Congress and the treas
ury department and are absolutely
beyond question.
1T would also be fair to deduct
certain other inherited obligations
notably those on account of rivers
and harbors and public buildings,
but / have limited the deductions
to those incident to the wars in
Mexico and Europe. These extra
ordinary expenses were incurred on
account of the appropriations fol
war risk insurance, the added ex-
penses of our embassies abroad, the
appropriations to return Americans
from Mexico and Europe, the trans
portation and care of Mexican in.
ternal soldiers and refugees and
the increase in war and naval ex-
penses due to the movements OF
our army and navy on the Mexican
border. These amount to s3/aU-
