Knute Wallenberg, foreign minister
of Sweden, disclaims on behalf of the
government any reports of a Swedish
alliance with Germany or any other
nation. for which reports Sven Hedin
is at least partly responsible. Our
cabinet" said Mr.. Wallenberg, like
its predecessor, has not deviated, nor
will it, from its old policy of neutral
ity. The dividing. line between the
two cabinets consists only in the tech
meal question of the extension Of the
period of military training. We find
that year is required for the more
or less satisfactory development of
the conscript; in other countries this
time is two or three times longer. The
military reforms now in preparation
are not exclusively on account Of the
fear of Russia, but are called forth
by the necessity of being ready for
all eventuaIities. / consider Hedin
sentimental person, and the pres
emit leader of. the foreign policy can
in no way be responsible for Hedin's
actions. To this should like to add
and emphasize the following: We
have already lived 100 years in peace
with Russia, and it is our sincere wish
that these conditions may be prolong-
ed still another century. Our endeav-
ors are directed toward cenenting
friendship with Russia, a friendship
that will bring us enormous economi-
cal advantages" Mr. Hedin also re-
pudiates the report and declares he
always speaks with enthusiasm OF
Russia, the Russian literature, Rus.
sian art, Russian frfendliness, and her
great hospitality. 81 do not say that
Russia has any evil intentions against
us" said Hedin. II only state Rus
STA has been looking to the north, pre-
pairing her way, should it be neces
sary, through Sweden to the sea, and
[ see in this striving an inevitable
| danger" Sven Hedins statement thai
| Russia, in order to attain her national
aim, must press forward to the sea
and that only as Swedish pa
triot he must fight against this en-
! deavor, has called forth sharp re
| joinders from different quarters. How
ever, everyone is aware of the danger
from Russia which threatens the Scan
dinavian peninsula, and all are agreed
that they must put their defenses IL
order for future protection.

land, a mass OF rock weighing five and
a half tons was once hurled to a height
of seventy-two feet above the sea level,
while mass weighing thirteen and a
half tons was torn from cliff seventy

have ice conditions been as dreadful
as during the past year. The schoon-

German and English squadrons
have been cruising along the Bergen
coast for about two weeks. In the
German division there were three
first class battleships and in the Brit
ish division there were two first class
battleships and a number of smaller
cruisers. The Norwegian coast, es-
pecially in the vicinity of Bergen,
has always proved a popular place
for German and British naval ma
neuvers.
Norwegian exports to Mexico
amount to considerable sum of
money every year, according to re-
cent report of Minister Lie, Norway's
representative at Mexico City. Last
year they amounted to about $780,
600 and consisted chiefly of fish and
canned goods, cod liver oil, nails,
wood pulp and paper, machinery and
artificial fertilizers.

Morgan Ready to Give up Will.

J. Pierpont Morgan, of Washing
ton, is ready to give up the Martha
Washington will stolen from Fair
fax county according to announce
ment made at the D. A. R. Conven-
ton in Washington today.
Morgan makes two propositions:
One was that the State of Virginia
or Fairfax county. should place the
original will of George Washington on
exhibition at Mt. Vernon for an in
definite period, and that if this were
lone he would present the will Of
Martha Washington to the Mount
Vernon Association for permanent ex-
hibition there. The other was that
should the Virginia authorities not be
willing to do this the will of George
Washington should be presented to the
Library of Congress, and that he
would in turn present the will OF
Martha Washington to the nation for
the same disposition.

MEXICANS BURN TOWN

Action Yesterday.

pare for contingencies" A cabinet
officer told the foregoing and said it
succinctly described present Mexi-
can policy OF President Wilson. From
other sources it. was learned that the
decision of the President and his cab

was to follow, for the time being, such
a policy as indicated.
Laredo, TEX, April 25.-Nuevo
Laredo, the thriving Mexican border
town opposite here, is in ruins, hav-
ing been devasted by dynamite and
fire by Mexican feseral soldiers who
Yesterday began an orgy OF dsstru1-
ton which did not end until they were
forced to flee southwark before the
guns of the American border patrol.
Two Mexicans are known to have
bene killed by the United States
troops and several were seen to fall
when a machine gun platoon from
Fort Mcintosh got into action. Several
skirmishcs between the Americans
and Mexicans were fought in quick
succession as the Mexicans-their
troop trains ready to pull out OF the
burning city-began an indiscriminate
fire across the international boundary;
but there was no evidence that the
shooting ha:' been effective.
Property damage in Nuevo Laredo
will reach $500,000.
Late last night the fire still was
burning, with no chance that it would
be controlled until everything inflam-
mable had bene wiped out. Kerosene
and other combustibles literally used,
added to the wreckage which other
wise would not have been great, ow-
ing to the adobe construction large'?
use3.
There was no property loss in La
redo. Both international bridges are
safe, though efforts to dynamite them
resulted in the death of tw omen en-
gaced in the undertaking.

TO SETTLE BY JUNE 1st.
1t is Alleged That About Seven Per
Cent Taxes Due Commonwealth is
Delinquent.
Delinquent.

Richmond, April 25.-State Audi
tor C. Lee Moore addressed yester-
day to the county and. city treasur-
ers of Virginia an urgent circular
regarding the collection of taxes for
1913. In a delicate manner Mr..
Moore calls attention to the fact that
the per cent of taxes returned last
year as delinquent was large, and
urges the treasurerS to employ all
the implements put in their hands
by law to collect taxes when they
fall due. While Mr.. Moore does not
state the fact in his circular, the
collection of delinquent taxes is a
much more profitable employment
20 the collector than the collection
of ordinary taxes.
The law requires the treasures
to make final settlements with the
Auditor of Public Accounts before
June IS for the taxes Of 1913 placed
in their hands for collection. Ex-
cepted from this requirement are
taxes on real estate, personal prop
erty and capitations improp, ~ as
sessed and delinquent taxes. The
reports on these two classes are not
required until September Is.
For 1912 the county and city treas
urers returned delinquent State
taxes on real estate amounting to
S92,92517, nearly 5 per cent of all
the State taxes assessed on real es-
tate, and delinquent personal taxes
to the amount of S4S,572.57, more
than T per cent of all the State
taxes assessed on personal property.
"This communication is sent to
you as an earnest appeal that you
will use every effort, employing the
powers conferred upon you by law,
to enforce collections so as to re-
duce to the minimum the taxes as,
sessed for 1913 on real estate and
personal property which must be re-
turned delinquent" says Mr.. Moore
in the circular.
"I am sure you gentlemen will be
impressed with the care that has
been provided in the law to insure
the minimum delinquent return OF
taxes and levies. The intent of the
law is to allow no tax or levy to be
returned delinquent which can posi-
bly, be collected, requiring each item
on the list to be scrutinized as here
inbefore set forth, and to guarantee
that no taxes and levies will be re-
turned delinquent which could have
possibly, been collected, the treas
urers have been clothed with extra
ordinary powers to enforce pay
ment."
