Western Newspaper Union News Servics-
Mexico City.-Sir Lionel Garden.
British minister, has advised all Brit
ish Subject temporarily to leave Mexi-
CO. He said the shortage of fuel used
in the operation OF trains is becoming
more acute daily, and that the trains
probably will stop running soon. which
wou,1 make difficult the departure of
persons in the interior.
1t is believed that Huerta's strength
in the City of Mexico daily is growing
weaker. With the succession of rebel
victories mutterings against the dicta-
tor are heard, and an outbreak at any
moment would cause no surprise. Fears
that Zapata's bands, which number
several thousand men within a short
distance of the city, will rush in for
a reign OF anarchy and pillage follow.
ing a sudden overthrow of Huerta,
cause grave forebodings for the safe
ty of all foreigners.
Eight hundred British subjects are
reported as now residing in Mexico
City. It is the minister's plan to get
a sufficient number of these to sign
an agreement to leave the capital so
that they can obtain a special train
from the Mexican government to take
them to Puerto, Mexico. and also Sc
cure transport to convey the passen
gers to Jamaica, where they may re
main until the close Of the present

Butte, Mont. Violence started

and other officers of the Western Fed
etration of Miners, who were to ad-
dress a peace meeting. The first at
tempt failed and after Meyer and the
others had fed a second and a third
explosion blew out the front Of the
building.
President Meyer and other officers
of the Western Federation Of Miners,
who were to address a peace meeting
in the hall, fed through the rear door
when the shooting began. They are
said to have left the city for fear OF
attacks by the seceders from the min
ers' union, who several days ago re-
volted against special assessments for
the Michigan copper mine strike and
the use of the card system.
Many armed deputies were at the
hall to preserve order at a meeting
called to outline plans for settling the
differences between the factions OF
the union. Many Of the seceders who
have planned to organize new union
under the auspices of the Industrial
Workers Of the World were around
the miners headquarters.

by Head Camp, Which Approved
Existing Table Of Rates.

Chicago, nl.-The head camp of
the Modern Woodmen OF Amer
lea took important action on rates
at its Toledo session. The con-
troversy over the advance In rates
made at Chicago had divided the or
der into warning factions and cost 1t
more than 100000 members. 1t was
believed best to let the question rest
till the operation of the Mobile bill
forces action.
II had been announced that the
woodmen had adopted the Indianapo-
lis rates, but, in fact, no new table
was put into effect. The head camp
merely approved the existing table
of rates, which was to have been set
aside by the rates adopted by the head
camp at Chicago. The application OF
the latter, however, was enjoined.
