Along Bridge

A few miles from the city is the
Forth bridge, one of the mechanical
wonders of the world and all visitors
to Edinberg go out to see the struc-
ture. 1t is said to be the longest
cantilever bridge in the world, the
total length being 5,3491 feet, more
than mile. The longest span is
l, 71O feet, the towers are $50 feet high
and there are $50 feet in the clear.
The largest boats sail beneath the
bridge into the harbor, the forth being
filled with many crafts when we were
there. Seven years were required to
construct the mile of iron and when
train of cars go over, the moving OBJ
ject looks like a toy Screeping along.
On account of so many:bayonets guard
ing the structure we were not able to
get but within seeing distance of the
modern wonder.

FUNSTON IS GIVEN
ORDERS TO EXTEND
VERA CRUZ LINES

tutionalist governor of Chihuahua by
General Villa. The report OF change
in executives reached the border to-
night. The removal, it is said, was
the result of an intrigue against Villa
by Chao in an effort to have the con-
queror of Torreon replaced as gener-
al-in-chief of the army.
Trinidad Rodriguez has been nam
ed governor of Chihuahua and Gen
Chao has been ordered to report at
the front beyond Torreon, for active
service in the field. Silvestor Terraz-
as, who has been secretary of state
for Chihuahua and close friend of
Chao was removed at the some time
with his chief and has been succeeded
by Aubustin Labanskadt, formerly
inspector of police for Governor Alb
ram Gonzales.
Shao and Terrazas, who is not con-
nected with the rich federal family of
that name, are regarded as being
closely allied with General Carranza,
while their successors are friends of
Villa.

RESIGNATION is EXPECTED

General Victoriano. Huerta is ex-
pected to resign as provisional pre-

That crisis is at hand is believed
implicitly in government circles. Ru-
mors of plots fill the air. General
Banquet is named. So is Portillo y
Rojas.
What is far more important, the
iron and steel nerves of General
Huerta have been shattered. The man
whose hand was never before known
to tremble is now almost nervous
wreck. The strain under which he has
lived for ten days has transformed
him into mere wreck of his former
self
For a week General Huerta has
not slept in his bed. All night he rid
,es throught the streets of Mexico
City in his automobile, frequently
drinking heavily of strongest brandy
to steady himself. And when from
complete exhaustion he dozes. the

SWEARS ALLEGIANCE TO
THE STARS AND STRIPES.

Bridgewater, S. D.-Great excite
ment prevailed here when, following
the performance at the Scenic the
ter, large crowd of determined and
partly armed men suddenly surround
ed the playhouse, shutting off all exits
of escape, and through their leader
demanded that one of the actors,
claiming to be a Mexican, who had
previously offered gross insult to the
American flag, come forth and salute
a flag hoisted in the street. The
crowd was in an angry mood. Just
at this juncture chief Ryan and mayor
Guenthner appeared on the scene and
realizing the gravity of the situation,
entered the building and escorted the
actor to the street. where he lost no
time in saluting Old Glory and swear
ing allegiance to the stars and stripes.

COST UNITED STATES $1,000. .0GO
TO TAKE OUT THE REFUGEES

Washington, ID. Cover 1000
refugees have been brought out of
Mexico by the United States govern
ment during the last two weeks.
About 5000 Americans remain there
now, most of whom are on their way
to Vera Cruz and other ports of safe
ty.
The exodus of Americans is not
new. When Madero started his revol-
ution against Porfirio Diaz there
were between 10000 and 100, 900
Americans in Mexico. Many of them
left when it became apparent Diaz
would be overthrown. Others remain
ed temporarily, but left Immediately
following the Huerta coup year ago.
Fifteen thousand came out last year,
and the remaining 10000 are mostly
out now.
The rescue work has cost this gov
ernment close to S1,00O,000. The
government appropriated and spent
100000 in Mexican refugee work
last year. The Red Cross also spent a
large sum-close to $4,000. The
Red Cross has cooperated with the
government since the work started.
Congress appropriated another
100000 ten days ago. The greater
part of it has been spent by the Of
ficials in charge Of the refuge work.

Is MADE BY SENATE
LEADERS,.

Washington. ID. C.-The probable
adjournment of congress on July 10
was predicted today by Senator Kern,
Senate Democratic leader, after a
White House conference at which the
president, Kern, Hoke Smith, and
O'Gorman discussed the legislative
program.
Kern said he believed the Panama
tolls repeal bill could be disposed of
within two weeks and that the ad-
ministration antitrust program
could be completed before adjourn
ment. He said he was hopeful that the
rural credits bill also would be reach
ed. Upon returning to the capital o.
German said their would be every ef-
fort for an adjournment early in
July.

VIC wa W lilONG Ol.
One night the man who calls ,him=
self president of Mexico rode through
the forest of chapultenec from dark
until daylight When he would doze
the automobile would stop under
those aged and gnarled cypress trees
and Huerta would sleep.
General Huerta is keeping himself
alive by means of strong drink. Were
it taken away from him he would
die. That is the report given out by
men closest to him.
He realizes that he is hopelessly
lost-that the only thing left to him
is either suicide or fight. He is dying
hard, but he is dying, and is now in
the last throes of his death struggle
Meanwhile, he is to the men who
surround him like wild hyena back
ed up against the wall and surround
ed by foes. No one dares oppose him
nor reason with him He distrusts
every one, even his son; Jorge. He
knows that the capital is honeycomb
ed with treason; that every one of
the mad wolves whose pack he has
led is ready to spring at his throat.
The flower of his army has been
sent against Carranza and Villa in
the north. In the capital he is prac-
tically unprotected and only his most
wonderful power to command keeps
him where he is. Men who hate him
receive his orders and obey through
fear. They are afraid to attempt to
shoot him or to stab him. His very
look compels obedience.
In his capitalGeneral Huerta has
garrison composed for the most part
by children, many of them not more
than ten years old and scarcely strong
enough to carry a rifle. These child
ren are helping him to hold his pow
er.

MEXICAN MEDIATORs ARE TO
CONFER AT NIAGARA FALLS

Washington, ID. C.-Secretary Bry-
an announced last night that the
three South American mediators in
the Mexican difficulty would meet
at Niagara Falls, Canada, May 18, to
receive the representatives of the
parties to the controversy.
Developments in the situation
were divided between the diplomatic
affairs and the military status.
The mediators continued their ses-
,sions throughout the day and for the
first time it became authoritatively
known from them that they con-
sidered the whole range of the Mexi-
can affairs as properly embraced in
their work. Their reply to Carranza,
while eliminating him from media
tion for the present, left the door
open to, him to come into the pro-
ceedings later.

HOW MARINES SLEW MExIcANs
FOR SHOOTING AMERICAN Girl

New Orleans, La.-How American
marines gave squad of Mexican SOL
diers in Vera Cruz "la fuga" for kill
ing an American girl was told here
by First Mate Hullermann of the
steamer City of Mexico
"La fuga' is the Mexican fugitive
law which permits killing of escaping
prisoners.
Hullerman, who witnessed the
fighting. said that an American girl
was being escorted to the pier, when
Mexican soldiers, fortified in houses
along the route, shot her down.
"The marines charged into the
house from which the shots came -
said Hullermann, and dragged out
five or six Mexican soldiers.
The marines then turned them
loose and told them to run. When the
MeXicans dashed down the streets
the marines opened fire and every
one of the Mexicans dropped"
Lionel Van Praagh, a writer who
has lived in Mexico for more than a
year gathering information about the
country, was one of the refugees who
arrived here. He said:
"The half has not been told of the
outrages committed on Americans in
Mexico in the last twelve months
practically all in the territory outside
of that controlled by Gen Huerta.

counts OF one hundred and twenty

ADMINISTRATION IN HOLE AS
RESULT OF MEDIATION PLAN

Washington, d. C.-The president
and Secretary Bryan are anxious that
the hope OF peace which mediation
offers shall not be shattered. 1t is to
the interest of this government. in
their view, to continue the negotia-
tions as long as possible, since every
hours delay works to the injury and
final downfall of Huerta.
The dictator is in this unfortunate
position: If he should abandon me-
diation, he faces his certain elmina-
ton through possible invasion by
the United States. II he should con-
sent to the continuance of mediation,
he would be deprived of the revenues
of Vera Cruz, which will remain in
and he will reach the end of his rope
in comparatively short time.
Figuring the situation out, diplo-
mats here believe Huerta would rath-
er, so down fighting the Americans
than face the alternative of death
through an uprising in Mexico City.
The administration here has been
placed in an extremely awkward posi-
ton, as diplomats view it, by the re-
fusal of Carranza to permit the paci
fication of Mexico by the efforts of
the representatives of the A-B-C pow
ers. This government cannot in fair
ness attack Huerta. it is pointed out,
since Huerta has shown willingness
to settle lis differences through peace
full negotiations.
For the president summarily to
break off negotiations with Huerta
and order the troops to advance aga
inst Mexico City, unquestionably
would be interpreted in Pan-Ameri-
can circles as a breach of good faith.
On the other hand, Huerta agreed
to mediation in the full knowledge
that the United States accepted the
good offices of the A-B-C representa-
tives on condition that those who
spoke "for the several elements of
the Mexican people" should offer
terms of permanent settlement.
Therefore the administration could
advance the contention that it was
justified in the resumption of hostili
ties because the conditions it laid
down had not been met. How such a
contention would be received in Latin
America is a question gravely con-
cerning the president and Secretary
Bryan.

There are but two courses for the
United States to pursue: The United
States must either absolutely con-
quer and control Mexico or recognize
Huerta, putting financial control of
the country over him. Under his
regime foreigners mad their property
were protected. Evidently President
Wilson does not know or realize the
ethical condition of the country"

The survivors suffered terribly
during 40 hours of exposure in the

great it was impossible to obtain a
coherent story from them for several
hours after they were picked up.
The Columbian caught fire Sun
