MExIcAN'S APPEAL TO FUNSTON.
Ask Him to Protect Their Cattle From
Their Own Countrymen.

Vera Mexicans appealing to
American troops to protect them from
the depredations of Mexicans was the
strange spectacle presented at Gen
eral Funston's headquarters. The plea
was made by Jose Minas for himself
and party of Mexican ranchers who
reported to the American commander
that the federal troops of General
Mas were raiding the country be-
yond the American outposts and run
ming off cattle.
The ranchers asked permission to
send their cattle within the American
lines. General Funston granted the
request and instructed Colonel Waltz
to have the Nineteenth Infantry offer
protection to the ranchers as far as
possible.

practically eliminated from the pro
ceedings of the three South Americai

the Mexican problem by diplomacy.
In a telegram to General Carranza
the mediators announced that in view
of his refusal to agree to an armistic'
with General Huerta, they withdrew
their invitation to him to send pen
sonal representative to participate II
the mediation negotiations.
The mediators told the Constitution
alist leader that as long as he main
tanned his present attitude they must
decline to treat with him.
Excluded General Situation.
General Carranza had inquired in
note to the ENJOYS what subjects
special representative might be requlr
ed to discuss, pointing out that If the
general problem of pacifying Mckee
were to be approached he could moi
authorize anyone to participate in the
negotiations. ne ISltcldlcu Ihot hN
would consent to mediation only Oh
the incidents which had brought about
a controversy between the United
States and Mexico" holding that he
was the constitutionally chosen leader
to whom complaint about the insult
at Tampico and other offenses origin
ally should have been made.
Arbitration Limited.
Earlier in the day it became known
that in view of the unyielding attitude
of the Constitutionalists mediation

Rumors persist that Huerta is
In desperate straits. He is said

THE MODIFIED TANGO
 AS DANCED IN PARIS

News from the French capital has this:
 1t is difficult to write of, or from, Paris without bringing mp the subject of the tango. or the group of dances which, to the mind of the layman. go under that generic term. The American is probably the most ignorant of the real meaning of the tango and probably dances it worse than anyone else. But he. or she dances everything else so we'll that the ab- sence of grace in the dance which calls for most grace is easily forgiven. Prob ably the reason the European does the tango with such consummate skill is be- cause she likes it. The American does not. and there is little use trying to in- still it into the race. As yet the at tractive slow waltz which the Duclos couple do in Monte Carlo is not popular, although everyone is trying to learn it. and our equally lovely hesitation waltz invented by Maurice with it's clever in terpolated twinkle step is rarely, if ever, danced. Always the tango and the Max ike. which is easy and hypnotizing. They have settled down, by the way. to less complicated tango, leaving the elab crate Cortez and the slowly executed scissors step to the professionals. Prob ably, if the Americans srno are here this spring take back this easy-going and graceful performance, people may like it. The low dip is taboo here as it is in America. Only the quietest steps are tolerated
