Funston's Troops Held Up;
Reach Vera Cruz TO-Ni0ht

VERA CRUZ, Mex. April 27.--The
four army transports conveyed by
tho battieship Louisiana. bearing
Brig Gen. Frederick Funston's Fifth
Brigade OF regular infantry. have re-
duced their speed so as not to arrive
off Vera Cruz before late this after
noon or tonight. 1t Is improbable
that tho troops will land before to-
night or tomorrow morning.
Though no definite statement has
been given out, II is believed the
troop ships received wireless instruc-
tions to delay their arrival. 30 that
the landing Of further American
troops might not jeopardixe the ef-
forts Of tho "A. b. c. conference" TO
persuade Gen. Huerta to agree to me-
diation.
Gen. Funston's brigade consists Of
the Fourth, Seventh, Nineteenth and
Twenty-elghth Regiments Of regu-
lara. commanded respectively by
Col. Robert c. Van Vliet, Daniel
Cornman. Millard +. Waits and Ed

In Vera Cruz tomorrow.
Previously the hopes of Americans
hero who had relatives and friends
In tho capital had been buoyed up
by a statement given out In behalf
Of Admiral Fletcher that he had in
formation which led him to hope for
the early arrival OF more American
refugees from Mexico City. for tho
better treatment of all Americans
there and possibly for their eventual
release.
LENIENcv> TOWARD MExIcANs
CAUSES THE CHANGE.
While Admiral Fletcher refused to
give the nature OF his reassuring In
formation from Mexico City, 1t was
strongly intimated at headquarters
that tho consistent policy OF lenient
treatment accorded Mexicans In Vera
Cruz had brought a change OF heart
In the capital.
Because Of tho delicate nature OF
the negotiations and the number OF
lives which may depend upon them,
1t is considered probable here that no
extension OF the lines already estab-
lished by the Americans win be at
tempted while the negotiations are
pending. This will become \ matter
for Gen. Funston's decision.
Tho American authorities here were
unable TO predict just what disposi-
tion would be made Of the first troops
to land. but 1t was supposed the In
fantrymen would be used in patroling
the streets.
Naval officers welcome the relief OF
their men from patrol duty ashore. as
they say the men are accustomed to
the constant work Of caring for the
ship and great guns and the mono.-
onous grind OF sentry duty Is trying
to them. Both seamen and marines.

II has been learned here that Gen.
Rubio Naverete, . relative Of Husrta
has been detailed to the work Of de-
stroying the railroad should that STEP
become necessary. Hs has orders ia
rrins all bridges between tho coast
along the stretch Of ths road through
the mountains.
There was no disturbance here last
night and very few shots were fired.
Early In the evening two or three re-
ports OF rife shots were heard, and
II Is supposed they were fired by ex-
cited sentries.
Vera Cruz began the weeks busi-
ness much az usual, the natives ap-
pearing on the streets early in the
morning and going about their accus-
toned routine.
Wireless messages received here
from other ports by the American
flagship indicated that all was quiet
along the coast.
In obedience to Rear Admiral
Fletcher's order that all firearms
should be given up one Mexican
brought In the barrel OF a machine
gun. He explained that he had found
the gun barrel on tho roof OF the
house where It had been operated on
the first day OF the fighting by a
squad OF Mexicans. These were all
killed and their bodies were carried
down by marines who left the ma
chine gun shattered by shells. The
Mexican feared that the discovery of
the gun on his roof would cause him
to be punished.
Several handsomely mounted duel
ling pistols were surrendered to-day.
Some of them were ancient weapons.
There was also collection Of muzzle-
loading pistols, muskets, knives and
swords. the latter ranging from
butcher knives to sword canes and
fencing foils.

ah. oregon Farmer" The extreme
ac small numbers of farms and the
large size OF most OF them show what

Farming population.
There are nearly 100000 acres
of tilIable land and only about 5000
farms in oregon. About eighty per
cent Of the tillable land is not cul-
tivated A comparison of the NUMBER
of farms in the Willamette with the
number in other parts of the state VIII
show where the land has been most
fully occupied and where the land
has been most fully occupied and
where the greatest development is still
TO take place. In most cases In al!
regions, the farms are twice as large
as desirable for the most profitable
production. This fact taken in con-
nection with a large amount of till
able land still uncultivatei accounts
for the low prices of land in all parts
of the state even while there is an in
creased valuation shown.
with these faces in mind 1t hard
Is seems too much for anyone to say
that there is opportunity in Oregon
for five or even ten times its present
farming population with prosperity
for all greater than the farmers now
enjoy. With the continued westward
trend OF the farming population of

INJURED in AUTO ACCIDENT

w. NJ Reese. one of our faithful
mail carriers was called to Des
Moines Sunday to be at the bedside
of his mother and brother who had
been injured in an auto accident on
Saturday. His brother Nate Reese,
and his mother of Hebron, Iowa had
gone to Des Moines in their automo-
bile and were driving in the city
When they reached a point at the
intersection of 36th street and In
gersol Avenue an automobile driven
by man by the name of Mason ran
into them. Mrs. Reese suffered a
fractured skull and Nate was cut a
bout the face. Three others were al
so injured whose names we did not
learn. Mrs. Reese was in a precar-
ious condition and was Immediately
taken to the Methodist hospital
where II is expected she will recover,
but with slight chances in her favor.
Mr.. Keese's Audubon friends will
regret to learn of this accident to
his relatives and all hope that the in
lures will not prove fatal.
