Americans and Mexicans take this stand I know I do.'
 Villas face was serious when he made the statement, which he em- phasized with vigorous gestures, but as he concluded he said with a smile:
 But why talk of war with the United States? It would be ex- intelligent men to fight over a drunken man, and it would be the height of folly for the United States and Mexico to come to blows over a man like Huerta.
 Tt seems to me the entire civi- liZed world would laugh if this came to pass.
 However, there is much in sov- ereignty, and Mexicans would re- main Mexicans, just as Americans prefer to remain Americans. For that reason we Mexicans would de- fend our country to the last. I take the liberty to say that before war between the United States and Mexico would be terminated, few Mexicans would be left alive. It is not every American who believes this, yet I dare say Americans who have lived in Mexico will agree with me that the Mexican loves his coun- try as much as a man of any other race He would not be a good citi- zen if he did not. But I am now, and always have been for peace" Villa told of the effort he was making in preparation for an ef- fective campaign against Saltillo and San Luis Potosi. He dwelt on the fact that the majority of 15,0OO men he reviewed yesterday were mounted, and spoke enthusiastically of the fine character of their mounts. The next move in Villas war plans it is said, depends somewhat on the developments after the arrival of Carranza. who is expected tomor row. Hundreds of NDox cars for transporting the troops have been concentrated about Torreon, and large stores of provisions and forage have been assembled. All the avail able troops from the north are being

Carranza Moves

CHIHUAHUA, Mexico. May T. With the departure of Carranza for Torreon, Chihuahua has fallen from the position of provisional capital of the constitutionalists. Every depart ment will depart within few days to seek temporary quarters in Torreon, and Monterey, and finally Saltillo, when the constitutionalists capture that city.
 On the CarranZa train, commanded by General Monclovia Herrera, were Roberto Pesqueira, Carranza's confi- dential agent at Fl Paso; Isidro Fabela, acting minister of foreign relations, and Ygnacio Bonillas, minister of com munication.

War Department Officials Receive Grave News from Funston and Hold Con ference Lasting U Until| Midnight
VILLA URGES
 EMBARGO LIFTED
Rebel Leader Says More Arms for His Troops Will Be Swiftest and Most Humanitarian Me t Tod Possible
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Upon re- ceiving a long cipher cablegram from General Funston tonight. Sec retary of War Garrison called into conference at the war department Major General Witherspoon, chief of staff and the entire general staff of the army. No intimation as to the nature of the dispatch was made public. The conference lasted until nearly midnight
 Garrison said there would be no announcement tonight. All wore grave faces and it was no secret that news of importance had been received. Later Garrison said that Funston had transmitted informa- tion from refugees brought from Mex ico City as to conditions at the Mex ican capital He said that no ag- gressive movement of any kind had been ordered.
 It is understood the refugees in- formed Funston of the critical aspect of affairs in the Huerta regime that a collapse might be expected mo- mentarily and that conditions of an- archy might ensue.
 Although not officially stated, it is known by high officials of the war department an anxious place at Vera Cruz or on transports within easy distance, a large enough force, per- haps fifty or sixty thousand men, to make an expedition to Mexico City if necessary. There have been per sistent reports that Funston has asked for more men.
 Officials of the war department, it is known. believe if an advance on Mexico City is made, it will be necessary to guard every mile of railroad, as the army moved forward and that a large force would show the natives the futility of resistance whereas a division of 15,000 might be subject to several attacks along the route possibly with big losses.
 American army officers also regard the situation at Vera Cruz as likely to become desperate in the event that anarchy breaks out in Mexico City or the forces of Maas should make an attack on it's own initiative irrespective of the Huerta govern ment's promise of suspension of hostilities against the United States.
 A large number of bluejackets could be landed from warships to reinforce the seven thousand troops and marines at Vera Cruz, but in order to hold the positions outside of Vera Cruz up to the water works, more infantry, it is believed, would be required by Funston. It is con- sidered likely at tomorrow's cabinet meeting the situation will be dis cussed, although the president and Secretary Bryan are believed to be finally set against any military ac- tivities at the present moment unless a crisis develops in Mexico City be- yond the control of the authorities and foreigners are endangered.

Utopio Lodge, No. 303, Ancient
Free Masons, was instituted at Mayes-
vile last night by lodge officers of
Claremont Lodge No. 64, of Sumter,
with Geo. c. Warren as Worthy Mas
ter. The event was one of much in
terest to Masons locally and at
Mayesville and throughout this Sec
ton.
There were seven Masons in the
party which went over from Sumter,
including the chair officers of Clare
mont Lodge. They first instituted
the new lodge at Mayesville, after
which the officers were installed.

Worshipful Master; r. L. Grier, Sem
ior Warden; J.. c. Tisdale, Junior
Warden; j. w. Montgomery; treasur-
er; j. L. Goddard, secretary; T. L.
Kahn, Senior Deacon; w. T. LaCoste,
Junior Deacon; Charles Richardson,

The lodge was instituted under
most auspicious circumstances and
amid much enthusiasm. After de-
gree work had been conferred by the

An interesting circumstance con-
nected with the institution of tho
lodge is the fact that the grandfath-
er OF Nh Geo. G. Warren, the wor-
shipful master, Mr.. Louis Warren,
was the first worshipful master of a
lodge instituted at Mayesville before
the War OF Secession. The charter of

to direct The secretary of the treasury
TO pay to the Ursuline convent of CO.

by fire of the convent by United States
troops under Gen. Sherman on Feb

voluminous evidence, affidavits, doc
uments, etc, in support of this bill
Just now Mr.. Lever is engaged in
putting through the house of repre-
sentatives the annual agricultural ap-
propriation bill but as soon as this
legislation is completed he will make
q strong effort to have this claim re-
ceive favorable consideration.
Mr.. Lever said that he was not par
ticularly sanguine of success for il
will mean the complete overruling of
the prevalent excuse that Southern
troops burned Columbia. He is MAX
ing this fight not only because he
feels the justice Of this claim but also
because he desires to vindicate the
Southern troops and establish in this
substantial manner the fact that Co.
lumbia was destroyed by the hands
of Federal troops.

The independents urged the legisla-

DARLINGTON ELEPHANT HUNT
Huge Feast Roaming Through the
Country Near Ilartsville is Attack
Cd and Killed by Large Party OF
Citizens-Onc Hundred Shots Fired

Hartsvillc, March 11.--South Caro-
iina's well established record for big
game shooting was broken tonight
when the biggest animal to be dis
patched in this county in it's history
fell before the onslaught of a large
party OF we'll armed men. An ex-
ceedingly robust female elphant
was the victim OF the attack by citi-
zens OF the community armed with
guns and other weapons.
The hunt ard execution occurred
about eight miles from Hartsville
near the residence of G. G.. Winburn.
The mammal was killed about 9
O'Clock after more than 100 shots
had been fired into her body. The
most violent excitement followed the
announcement that a member OF
junglo's royalty was at large in the
neighborhood. Wild rumors spread
telling OF damage done by the bic
beast and as they travelled they grew
like Topsy ana the SNOWFALL. In
vestigation indicates that no damage
resulted for any but the unfortunate
animal.
News Of the chase and death Of the
elephant was brought to Hartsville
late tonight by residents Of the town
who had viewel the remains.
The elephant Is supposed to have
escaped from a circus during a train
wreck. The animal was first seen
near the tracks of the Seaboard Air
Line railway. The pursuers and
defenders OF the county's safety
have not learned the name Of the
beast nor is information of her his
tory available at this time.
