She knew that she was not going to
be afraid Of anything hereafter. To
enter the strange country without hav-
ing her purpose known would be the
main difficulty. Where was Ahmed
all this time? Doubtless in q cell like
his master.
Three days later she stood at the
frontier. and her servant set about
arguing and bargaining with the ma
houts to engage elephants for the three
days march through jungles and
mountainous divides to the capital.
Three elephants were necessary.

All this the first day and night out

RELATE TALE OF HORROR.
Tell of Outrage in Mexico-Five
Have Been Slain.

New Orleans, March 15.-Five
priests have been slain by rebels in
the Mexican State of Tamaulipas
since November 18, last, three held
for ransom, convent burned and
cathedral and a smaller church loot
ed, according to two Roman Catho-
lie priests, Father Jose Moreno
Madina and Father Ramon Gonzales,
who arrived here to-day from
Brownsville, Texas. Both said they
had been driven from Victoria, Mex,
and arrived penniless and weak from
three weeks travelling.
Three weeks ago soldiers under
Col. Cavallero demanded money"
said Father Madina. 1--WE gave them
what we had but it was not enough.
They thought more was hidden in the
cathedral and becoming angered at
not finding it, they took away the
gold and silver utensils and wrecked
the inside of the building. The figure
of the Savior was smashed to bits and
other statuary broken and trampled
under foot.
THE archbishop. Jose Guzman,
and his aged aunt were thrown into

the street by the marauders," contin-
ued Father Madina, Father Guz-
man died two days later and just be-
fore We left we heard the aunt was
dying. The rebels then went to the
American convent, drove out the sis
ter and her charges and set the build
ing on fire :"
At Tula church was looted by
rebels in the same manner as at Vic
toria, said Father Madina, and the
rector, Father Celia de Leon, and hiss
two assistants, Basilo and Louiz Ro-
manez, kidnapped. He said they were
taken into the hills where they are
being held for ransom of 500 pesos
each, their parishioners having been
notified that unless the ransoms are
paid the priests will be put to death.
Father Madina said five priests had
been killed by rebels since they en-
tered Tamaulipas last November.

MARTIAL LAW ALONG BORDER.
Vicinity of Tecate, Cal, Patrolled BY
American Troops.

San Diego, CAL, March 16.-Al-
though no proclamation was issued
martial law existed in effect to-day
along the border for miles each side
of Tecate, CAL, following the de-
struction by fire of the general store
containing the United States post
office and customs Office and the
murder of Postmaster Frank V.
Johnston Saturday by three men, de-
clared to be Mexicans.
All last night the border was pa
trolled by American troops from
Fort Rosecrans., Across the line
not many hundred feet away, Mexi-
can rurales performed guard duty.
Every man within a radius of ten
miles of Tecate is fully armed and
rifles and ammunition have been or
dered from this city.
Governor Johnson was asked to-
day to make formal demand on Gov
ernor Francisco Vasquez, of Lower
California, for the delivery of the
Mexicans suspected of having killed
Johnston.
Major w. C. Davis, commander at
Fort Rosecrans, received instruc-
tions from Washington to lend any
assistance to the immigration and
customs official and keep the depart
ment Informed of conditions He
already had taken the initiative to
the full scope of his authority. Feel
ing is aroused to fever heat in the
vicinity of Tecate.

FEWER MEETINGS.
Some Opposition to County-to-Coun-
ty Canvass.

Columbia, March 17.-If the May
convention adopts suggestion that
will be made to the State democratic
convention the county-to-county can
vass for votes in the primary will be
changed considerably. To have sew
en- meetings, one in each congress
sional district, at central location
in the district, is plan now being
discussed in political circles.
Heretofore the South Carolina
campaign meetings have been num-
erous, the gatherings being held in
each county Of the State. Com
mencing in June the meetings have
run close to the time set for the first
primary.
Objections have been raised to this
mode of campaigning, but efforts to
do away with the county-to-county
canvass heretofore have proven un-
availing 1t is now pointed out that
probably the compromise suggestion
of holding congressional district
meetings would meet with general
favor.
The seven congressional district
meetings, under the proposed plan
would not constitute all of the meet
ings at which candidates for office
would be left to arrange their own
meetings, other than those at which
all the candidates for State offices
would meet.
One objection that is being raised
to the county-to-county campaign
meetings is that the candidates for
the more important offices do not
have sufficient time in which to
present their views to the people.
For instance the gubernatorial
candidates have heretofore had but
twenty minutes as a rule. In that
space they hardly had time, it Is
said, to give briefly their opinion on
the issues of campaign without re-
gard to any attacks that might ha- :
to be answered.
Forty minutes to the candidates
for governor and the same amount of
time to those for the United States
senate, the latter composing a sepa-
rate campaign party, is given as a
proper solution of the difficulty.
Instead of starting the campaign
meetings in June it is suggested by
those favoring the proposed change
that July and August be utilized for
the campaign meetings in the seven
congressional districts. Then the
candidates could in the meanwhile
go to whatever meetings might be
arranged for them, or for any of
theI:,
