prisoners OF Mexican soldiers, are be-
ing held at Cordoba or OriZaba, on

tween here and the capital, four OF
whom at least are threatened with
execution, according TO authentic in
formation received here.
Four of the Americans were taken
from a train on the Vera CTuz-Isth-
mus line at TERRA Blanca and furth-
er along at Motzolongo station three
other Americans and an Englishman
were seized.
The men are W. B. Wofford of
Georgia; F. w Lehmer of Omaha;
w. a. Bedford of Michigan; w. c.
Disbrow of New York, and James
BIicher of Buffalo. All these men are
interested in agriculture in the sec
ton they were arrested.
The belief that the federals intend
ed to execute at least four Of the pris-
oners was gained from the converse
ton of the soldiers who captured
them, which was overheard by passen-
gers on the train.

doba and it is. believed later. were

patrol.
Two Mexicans are known to have
been killed by the United States
troops and several were seen to fall
when a machine gun platoon from
Fort Mcintosh got into action. Sew
eraI brisk skirmishes between the
Americans and Mexicans were fought
in quick succession as the Mexicans,
their troop trains ready to pull out
Of the city, began an indiscriminate
fire across the international boun-
dairy. AT night there was no evidence
that the Nexican ere had been efec-
tive.

DROUGHT GROWING
ALARMING,

The drought existing throughout the
Bluegrass section is assuming a serious
aspect, and unless rain comes at an
early date to the relief of the stricken
district, the monetary loss will be in
calculable. Just at present tobacco is
suffering considerable, while meadows
and oats will be cut short for the lack
of sufficient rain. Within very short
time the corn crop will begin to show
the effect of the lack of rain, if it is
not already beginning to do so. The
most serious difficulty however. is the
scarcity of stock water. Creeks are
dry, as also are pools and ponds,
springs are failing rapidly and there
is greater scarcity of water than has
been known in years at this particular
time of year.
