that they were Americans. The 200 on

Huerta has not actually arrested any
Americans. the refugees say. but he has
virtually held them up as targets for bull

Stories Are CfrcuIrted.
From this has grown up a story here
that villa is to be given the arms and
ammunition he needs: that he Is to draw
OF his troops from the American border
and concentrate them in the march to
Mexico City: and that the United States
is to take care of his border behind him
There is another view. however. thai
the foxy Villa is merely playing with
President Wilson to get the LoO0.OO
rounds OF ammunition he needs, and then
those bullets are far more apt to be used
against the United States than against
Huerta.
These border Americans generally have

BY EDWARD II. HAMILTON.

FL Paso. fex.. April 25.-Washington
continues to ignore Carranza and to treat
with Pancho Villa.
Carranza sends out from Chihuahua TO
Spain a message saying he protests
against the American invasion, and de-
cIar!ng the Mexican people will fight
against the invaders to the last breath.
Over in Juarez today Pancho Villa said
to Roberts. his confidential friend:
My personal wishes are that the
Cr;: and all the Huerta ports"
There certainly seems a fiat break be
tween Carranza and Villa. and now
comes the question which Is the stronger.
why. Villa has Carranza where he
can play with him as a cat does with a
mouse" declared Roberts. emphaticaIly.
The cat sometimes Seems to sleep. but
let the mouse try to get away. and how
quickly the cats paw crushes il.
Roberts asserted that in his opinion
the other constitutiOnalist generals will
stay with Villa as against Carranza.
Opinions Vary Widely.
The United States Federal officials
now regard Villa as the dominating fac
tor in the game. and are negotiating
with him as such to the exclusion Of
Carranza-
But there is an entirely different opin-
ion expressed by men familiar with
Mexican affairs and by American refu-
gees who have just come up from Tor
reon. ParraI. and Chihuahua
Some of these men believe that Car
-snza will be the stronger figure in any
split and that most OF the generals will
stay with him.
So II Is not so easy to say whether.
in making terms with Villa, the United
States Is buying a commanding hero or
a gold brick. But there is no doubt here
that President Wilson has broken with
Carranza and taken up with Villa to
work his purposes.
Though Washington continues to send
out word that the President has sent a
message to Carranza. Special Envoy
George Carothers throgh whom all COM
municat:ons to both Carranza and Villa
must pass. assured me late this after
noon that no word word had been trans

The following description Of condi-

OF dispatches sent from Mexico

than that on dispatches to the United

April 25.)-Gen. Huerta is still in con.
troll in the Mexican capital, but out
breaks continue.
Three Americans have been wounded
but. as far as can be learned; none has
been killed.
Thirty-five Mexican rioters. arrested
by rurales, have been executed. Death
sentences were imposed upon these men
by special decree from Huerta, no sc
much because they showed anti-foreign
hostility as because they took advantage
of the fevered state of the public mind
to make an anti-Huerta demonstration.
Foreigners have gathered in concen-
tration zones. Some Americans have
sought the protection of the British and
French flags.

A DAiRYMAN'S DREAM

A farmer sat on his old stone fence,
Waiting for milk to reach four cents:
The grass grew up and tickled his
feet,
Till he awoke from his pipe dream
sleep.
(And to himself said)
I've MIXED the cows since l was q,
lad,
A darn site more than l wish had;
And sold the milk to foppish sort,
Who slips it down to Greater New
York.
That guy was here the other day.
And said his business did not pay;
He said that milk would be much
lower,
And not go up till the war was over.
Then the inspector come, whose hair
was gray,
And bothered us while making hay;
He nailed sign up in our stable,
With rules galore, this fool gazable.
These rules require us to milk,
In cloths that's white and clean as
silk;
Then strain the milk in another shed,
Sixty feet off, is what is said.
We even buy the butter we eat,
Which costs us more than does the
meat:
Both these we get from neighbor
Briggs,
For he sells calves, and hogs and
pigs.
Look at Briggs now, he owns his farm
And just has built a big new barn;
He never sold the milk they say,
But richer grows from day to day
I'll do like Briggs, it'll not be mean.
To keep all the milk and churn that
cream;
No more of our milk will go to that
sucker,
Well keep 1t at home and make into
butter.

wanted, had taken a train and gone
into the city alone to make her pur-
chases. She had been gone only
two hours, yet the idea of her daugh-
ter being able to go into the city
alone appeared to startle my wife.
Betty laughed over her mothers
scolding and said she was old enough
to take care of herself. | do not be

children could do things without her

1T was quite a shock to me to dis

right, but not quite up to date. They
