Hampton Roads, intercepting her
and ordering her to Tampico. Or
ders were also issued to the Nash
vile, at San Domingo, to proceed to
Tampico. Orders were also issued
to the Tacoma, now at Boston, to
proceed to Tampico. The torpedo
fleet now at Pensacola was notified to
stand by for orders to proceed to
Tampico."
To Show Huerta.
Naval officers eagerly transmitted
the orders to the fleet and there was
a scene Uf activity and anticipation.
The feeling that the Washington gov
ernment had determined to show the
Huerta government its fixed deter
mination to insist on an, apology and
public salute pervaded official circles.
1t was learned authoritatively that
while further investigation Of the
Tampico incident was being made,
there was a general feeling that the
demand OF Rear Admiral Mayo
should be backed up. In the mean
time, however, 1t was determined
that negotiations with the HUI
erta government, . through Charge
O'Shaughnessy, should proceed in
order to represent to Gen. Huerta the
insistence of the United States.
Members Of the cabinet were hope
full that no further step would be
required to secure compliance with
the American demand, but they pri-
Vately admitted that the Washington
government was getting ready to en-
force it's demand should it meet with
resistance.

ENGLISH WoMENS
BEAUTIFUL COMPETITIONS

There is no nation in which the
women live as sanely as do the Eng
lish and there is no nation in which
the skins are as fair and clear. Under
perfect, natural conditions a well bal
anced life would guarantee a beautiful
and healthy skin. But the ordinary
social and economic American life of
today forces the system TO furnish so
much vital force for action that
nerves, eyes and compilations all suf-
fer. In addition to this strain many
women further abuse their skin by
covering it with pore-clogging powder
instead of doing the wise thing-that
is, using a lotion which protects and
smoothes, without choking the pores.
The reason compilations suffer so
much in summer is because powder
does not offer sufficient protection
against the hot sun. 4 plain spurmax
lotion not only safeguards the skin
from the elements, but in itself is a
beautifier of great worth. To prepare
this lotion at home, dissolve ounces
spurmax from druggists in y pint hot
water Tor witch hazeD and add tea
spoonfuIs glycerine. This applied TO
the skin becomes invisible and i'm
parts a velvety softness and dainty
tint TO a rough. faded skin. relieving
that shiny. oily appearance. and its
use will insure a clear, lovely COM
pIexion.-(Adv)

washington. D. C.. May 13.-As a
result of consideration given at the
cabinet meeting yesterday TO the pos
sfbilfties of the situation in Mexico
City, the president has authorized Sec
retary OF War Garrison 10 charter ad-
ditional transports.
The quartermaster general. accord
ing to information obtained from var
ious points along the coast, Is In TEL
egraphic communication with snip
companies II is expected he will be
able 10 get at least half dozen steam
ers under contract in day or TWO.
These vessels will be changed so as 10
accommodate troops for quick Voy-
age and for the carriage OF horses.
Nothing furnishes better evidence OF
the presidents frame Of mind than MS
grant OF authority to charter more
steamers. He is anxious that no &C
tton shall be taken which can be con-
strued as a violation OF the agreement
for the suspension of hostilities. But
in view of the emphatic representa-
ticns which have been made by for
eign powers as TO the necessity or pro-
tectlng foreign life and property In
Mexico City, he has determined that
he must make preparations for march
on that point in case the expected re-
volt of Huerta's troops takes place.
Ready TO Send 10000 Men.
Nine steamers were chartered by
the war department last week and
they are being assembled at Calves
ton. There are three regular trans
ports now at that point. These IL
ships will be able 20 carry in the neigh
borhood OF 10000 men; with the other
ships to be chartered. $4,000 or 10000
can be at Vera Cruz within 10 days.
The danger in the presidents plan
lies in the fact thai IL a revolt should
occur the damage will be done in "a
hours.
II the American forces should reach
Mexico City in three weeks after the
arrival at Vera Cruz they will be do
ing well. The railroads have been de-
stroyed and the federals are all ready
to blow up bridges and tunnels. II
viii be necessary for the Americans to
dispense any large force Of Mexicans
in their vicinity. Therefore they can
not move with that rapidity which the
protection OF life and property in Mex
leo City would demand.

Excellent Tonic
MRS. s. A. WEIR,
S27 w. 18th ST., Pueblo, Col.

"Peruna Is an excellent tonic for
the weakness that follows grip. II
everybody could have a bottle or two
of Peruna after they have had grip
they would get well a great deal
sooner than they usually do.
There Is no better medicine In
the world for colds and grip than
Per,ina- One bottle did more to re-
lieve me OF n bad cold and case OF
grip than any remedies that have
ever taken"
Other things being equal, the
ready to take medicine 10 the
cheaper. On this phase of the SUBJ
ject Mrs. Weir says;
II am n widow with a very small
income, and have to look to every
penny very closely. Under these
circumstances your medicine is a
gudsend 10 me. One bottle OF Peruna
has accomplished for me more than
an expensive course OF treatment of
any other sort. OF this / feel sure
AS a matter OF economy every one
ought TO. have a bottle OF Peruna In
the house"

there was further consideration given
to the presidents plan of getting the
troops in the immediate vicinity OF
Mexico City the moment CONDITIONS
seem TO require such action. The pres
ident continues averse to the occupa-
ton of Mexico City.
The president is more concerned
about the Mexico City situation than
he is about any other feature OF the
Mexican problem.
INSTRUMENTATION does not conceal
the hope that the constituencies
will capture Tampico- The erect OF
this on Huerta is expected TO be dis
astrous. II it does not precipitate a
revolt in Mexico City it will undouot-
edIy influence the dictator's course at
the Niagara Falls conference.
Want Oil Fields Protected.
Representatives OF the refugees
from Tampico furnished Secretary
Garrison with maps of the oil region
at that place. They urged him TO have
the president order light draft gun
boats up the Panuco river to protect
the operators working the Panuco and
the secretary that the wells are screw
ed down to their limit. but are over
flowing into the river. The loss ranges
from $1,000 to 10000 barrels day.
Mr.. Garrison replied he could do
nothing, as the matter was one for the
White house and state and navy de-
partments to pass upon. The presi-
dent and the secretary of state and
navy are unwilling to provide protec-
ton for the operators. The monetary
loss IS fixed at $4,000 daily.
Expects Little of Mediation.
The president is expecting little from
the mediation conference. This was
shown by what he has said to Asso-
ciate Justice Lamar and former So
licitor General Lehman, who will be
the representatives of the United
States. He has given them no definite
program TO carry out, his sole idea be-
ing that Huerta shall be eliminated.
The cabinet discussed the character
of instructions for Messrs. Lamar and
Lehman and determined that they
should deal with the entire situation.
These representatives will be required
to telegraph every proposal to Wash
ington and supplement IL with their
views. The president will make the
final decision.
Secretary Bryan announced that he
had furnished to General Huerta,
through the mediators. an explanation
in reference to the action of the navy
at Lobos island. He said a detach-
mont frou the l. 9 & Dixia had land
ed and lighted the light of the light
house after it had been deserted by
the Mexican keepers.

BETTEND0RF SOURCE
OF MUCH SMALLPOX?

Discovery of the fact that smallpox
is prevalent in Bettendorf has given
rise to the theory that the village up
the river has been the source of the
large number of cases which have per-
sistenty appeared in Davenport during
the late winter and early spring. 1t is
said that there are now n dozen cases
in Bettendorf. and no quarantine reg
ulations are being observed, there be-
ing no pest house in which TO care for
TIE patients. Health Officer Mullen
of Davenport says there are II cases
now in that city. Another one devel-
oped yesterday.

for the new hotel in Dubuque. In this
CITY he has left number of contracts
unfinished. A sufficient number or
charge accounts were found among the
