dealing with General Huerta in the
 territory he now controls. That he
 does not rightfully control it does
 not alter the fact that he does con-
 trol it. We are dealing, moreover
 only with those whom he commands
 and those who come to his support.
 With these we must deal. They do
 not lawfully represent the people of
 Mexico. In fact we rejoice because
 our quarrel is not with the Mexican
 people and we do no, desire to dic- tate affairs. But we must enforce
 our rightful commands upon those
 whom the existing authorities at the
 place where we do act, for the time
 being, represent
 After issuing his statement the
 president cancelled routine engage
 ments for the day to devote his at tention to the Mexican situation Translation Differs Somewhat. A copy of the note from General Carranza, the constitutional chief to the American government, was re- ceived here today by constitutional ist agency. An important paragraph In it differing somewhat from the trans lation made for Consul Carothers at Ell Paso was translated as folIoWs by the Mexican constitutionalist agency. Moreover, invasion of our territory. the permanency of your forces of Vera Cruz or a violation of the rights which constitute our existence as a free and independent state, would cer- tainly drag us into an unequal but I dutiful war, which we always desired 1 to avoid" .t.4-
 The constitutionalsts said Carran- 1 Za's note was not intended as a de- fiance, but as an appeal to the United ! States to withdraw it's forces and seek ! reparation from the1n
 ] Mexican Forces Un1se.
 l Word reached the war department There today that the constitutionalists and the Huertistas at Tampico have united to oppose any American opera ! tions. .'+N
 E Americans in Danger 1 Private advices reaching. here today in code from Mexico City disclosing ! that Americans there were in danger, have been comm unicated to govern
 ment officials.
 1 The dispatches which were from q, : source of unquestioned trustworthi-
 ness and bore date Of today, set forth
 that mobs of Mexicans were forming { fors anti-American demonstrations; i; l hatAmericans on the street had been
 menaced and threatened with violence 1 and that they were concentrating at 1 the embassy for mutual protection. 4 Measure is Approved.

favorably acted upon by the senate appropriations committee today and Chairman Martin planned to get unanimous consent for it's passage so it could be ready for the president S signature late today.
 The first measure planned would impose a stamp tax on checks and legal documents similar to that in- voked during the Spanish war; an- other would tax sweet wines and for tified brandies and probably beer. According to the estimates this meas ure would net the treasury about $116,000,000 year.
 Refugees Taken Away.
 Reports from Admiral Badger to the navy department today declared that American and foreign refugees at Tampico had been taken off from the city through the courtesy of British and German cruisers
 The admiral reported all quiet at Vera Cruz.
 Rear Admiral Mayo sent this report to the navy department today from Iampico: By courtesy and energy of the captains of the German and British cruisers, there are now on beard our ships about 1,200 American refugees More are expected tomor- TOW, coming from outside points Merchant ships taking men on board v No Official Announcement.
 Official announcement of, the restoration of the embargo on arms at the Mexican bor- der has not been made heresA but or high authority it was stated that the nrdo la mt fO1aN stop all consignments sof arms and report from San Antonio that such an order had been received was not doubted in official circles
 At the war department it. was re- ported that officers at Fort Sam Houston had been ordered to Stop all shipments of arms consigned to- the Mexican federal troops at Piedras Negras. across the border. s9 To Seize Railroad.
 It was learned today that the navy and war depart ments had made plans for the early seizure of the railroad from Vera Cruz to Mexico City A recon noitering force has reported still in tact two bridges on the railroad, one ten miles and oAe eighteen miles from Vera Cruz. Officers at Vera Cruz re- ported that these bridges must be protested if Vera Cruz is to be base of further operations, because they could not be readily rebuilt if de- stroyed.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCES
 RELATED BY PASSENGERS
Witnesses at Engineers Trial Testify Concerning Speed
 of Train.

New Haven, Conn, April 23.-Per-
 sonal experiences of passengers on the
 White Mountain. express which carried
 death into the Bar. Harbor express at
 North Haven, on the New York, New
 Haven and Hartford railroad, on
 September 2, were related when the
 trial of Engineer A. B. Miller of that
 train, charged with involuntary man.
 slaughter, was resumed today. Three
 witnesses called late yesterday, de-
 Scribed their sensations as the ex-
 press rushed by the Wallingford sta-
 tion and a minute or two later was
 suddenly checked by application of air brakes and the crash into the
 other express opposite banjo signal 23 f4
 These passengers in each instance estimated the speed of the train at between forty and forty-five miles an hour. They said they felt the train slow up little near Wallingford and then felt the speed increase. Each testified to the effect that he thought at the time the engineer was "open- ing up in order to make up lost time. .g. Each said he felt the application of brakes only an instant before the
 crash came. All agreed that fog and
 smoke lowered over the track although observation was possible from 100 to 300 yards along the tracks.
 Charles H. Morrison a signal en- gineer for the road, who yesterday explained the working of the banjo type of signal, was cross examined atFthe opening today. Lawyers for Miller were sharp in their questions and much time was taken up in argu- n1ents between the lawyers on both sides Much of MT. Morrison's testi- mpny was technical in its nature. Two signal repair men following Mr Morrison testified to examining banjo 23 some days before the ac- cident and found it all right. IMt c. F. Higgins of Bridgeport whose duty it was to examine employees on rules, told of examining Miller as to his duties as laid down in the rule book which Miller had with him at at the time of the wreck. The de- fense admitted that Miller had the book, and States Attorney filling emphasized this point. He objected, however, to being compelled to an- swer questions from Miller's two law yers at the same time.
