The Decree

That the blockade decree will be
carried out was verified today by Ad-
miral Badger in a report to the navy
department from Vera Cruz, ANNOUNCE
ing that the Mexican gunboats Zarago-
"a and Bravo which left Puerto Mex
leo last night, had passed Vera Cruz
and We're steaming toward Tampico
The American cruiser Tacoma and
gunboat Sacramento are following the
Huerta ships. What the American war
ships will do when the commander of
Huerta's ships attempts to seize the
Antilla, when she arrives at Tampico
Wednesday no official in Washington
would say tonight. The message from
Admiral Badger read:
10 A. NJ. Sunday, June :. Position
of Mexican gunboats Bravo and Ia
ragoza at 9 A. NJ, Lat 1913, Long.
96-3 headed for Tampico, making
about nine knots Should arrive off
Panuco river about A. NJ tomor-
row. Tacoma and Sacramento follow
ing in observation.
(Signed) BADGER"
When this report reached Washing
ton it was Immediately communicated
to President Wilson. Secretary of the
Navy Daniels and Secretary of State
Bryan. Secretary Daniels fastened
from church to his office. The Presi-
dent talked over the telephone with
cabinet officials and also read impor
tant message from the American dele
cation to the conference at Niagara
Falls These were believed to have
a bearing on the impending delicate
situation at Tampico.
Whether any orders were sent dur
ing the day to Admiral Badger relat-
Ing to the situation which soon will
develop at Tampico could not be
learned.
Possibilities Discussed
The possibilities were discussed in off,
cfal quarters tonight as likely to arise in
view of the problem that Gen. Huerta's
decisive action has presented should the
American government direct that the or
der to Admiral Badger be construed as
to include delivery of contraband of war,
Admiral Mayo at Tampico would be
compelled to open fire on Huerta's gum
boats If necessary TO prevent Interior

Weekly Weather

Washington, June 7.-Generally fair
and hot weather is forecasted for the
coming week east of the Rockies.
There are no present indications of
precipitation of consequence east of
the Rocky mountains during the COM
ing week." said the weather bureaus
bulletin tonight except that there
will be showers and thunder storms at
the outset from the Lake region east
ward and possibly in the Far North
west. Occasional local thunder showers
are also probable in the South, includ-
ing Texas, but no general rains.
In the East rather high tempera
lures will rule during much of the
week, owing to the presence of a
strong high pressure area over the
South Atlantic states and the ada

Hampstead, y. Y. June In the
final practice game of the British polo
challengers at Westbury today, Capt.
Leslie St. George Cheape, one of the
mainstays of the British team, was
struck by a polo ball. which broke
the players nose and will cause his
withdrawal as a member of the chal-
longing team. The accident occurred
at the opening of the sixth period,
while the ball was on the north side
of the field where it had been placed
by the Englishman. Henry C. Phipps,
one Of the substitutes of the Ameri-
can team. who was playing on the
four opposing the challengers, made
beautiful back hand stroke, taking
the ball from the English players.
The sphere struck Cheape square on
the nose, causing the player to drop
from his horse. He was taken to the
club house nearby for medical atten-
ti0n.

ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY

r1rde, our form of popular govern
 ort there has been since the found
 of ou,, nation, a conflict of opin- ho+ween statesmen and political Ladders over the question of letting .ho reonle know about public matters. o.o scbool of statesmen contend that f. ;s q dangerous thing to let the peo- rlo know what is going on. Another scboo| maintains that the people may ho evnected to vote intelligently and riobt on every question. There are two sides to every question, and good orcumepts can be put upon both sides of this question. But, as matter of fact each passing year sees the on ward victorious sweep of the principle that the people rule. The people may be trusted to do the right thing at the right time. The public has right to know" is a proposition which has become an issue in Arkansas through the initiation by the people of Act | No. 3. the publicity measure, provid- l ing for publishing in the newspapers, financial statements of counties, towns and improvement districts, rec ords of raising and lowering of assess ments, and other matters of impor- | tance to the taxpayers. A booklet giving full information about this measure may be had at the office of The News. Act No. will prove a tax equalizer of tremendous force be- cause it provides that changes in as sessments either by county judges or equalization boards must be publish ed. This is just one of the good fea- lures. The measure will promote economy and efficiency and public af- fairs.

Mortality in Battle

At Gettysburg the death rate per
thousand was 55.5, the highest in
q battles in the war. According to
the figures in the American expert
ence table of mortality. for every
thousand men living at the age of 49
there will be $50 deaths before reach
ing the age of 90. For all purposes this
is exactly the same rate of mortality
as that on the field of Gettysburg
that is to say, each soldier had the
same chance OF surviving the battle of
Gettysburg that a man 40 years old
has of living to be %. At the battle of
Charlottesville the death rate among
the soldiers engaged was 20.3 per thou
sand. According TO the life insurance
tables. the death rate per thousand
among men in peaceful pursuits rang
ing in age from AZ to ~ is exactly the
same. Every soldier at Shiloh. where
the death rate in battle was 42.2 per
thousand. had the same chance OF es-
Gaping alive as the average man of
30 has OF reaching the age of 35. These
figures are surprising in showing how
far we are likely TO be led astray in
calculating the relative mortality in
battle.-New York World.
