It is stated unofficially that Cen
eral Mas, several miles out of
Vera Cruz, has been engaged in as
.sembling his men. 1t is thought
here that he may possibly attempt
an attack OH the American forces
early tomorrow. The report is that
he has more than 5000 men, fully
equipped and we'll supplied with am
munition.
The Mexican Embassy here re-
,ceived a telegraphic dispatch from
Mexico City at $50 o'clock last
night, in which it was reported Of
ficially that the City of Mexico was
u1iet, no disorders of any sort hav-
ing occurred either Tuesday night
or Yesterday, The dispatch recited
that American refugees were leav-
ING for Vera Cruz in small num-
bers, but by every departing train
They were said to be under the
guard and protection OF Mexican
federal soldiers in all instances.
A high government official has
made public letter from friend
whom he regarded as trustworthy,
which read as follows:
81 have on reliable authority from
men arriving from Mexico City that
Huerta personally, with the Mex
ican foreign relation minister, plan
ned the Tampico incident, with a
view of bringing on armed lnterVen-
ton and uniting the Mexican fac
tions with him."
Quick action on the annual army
appropriation bill followed yesterday
when Chairman Hay, Of the Mill
.tary Affairs Committee, explained
that on account of the Mexican SIT
uation the House conferees had
agreed to all Senate amendments.
The House at once concurfeu III Iiie
amendments and the measure went
to the President. 1t carries a total
of approximately 100000 So
100000 having been added by the
Senate.
Secretary Bryan and other officials
are gravely concerned over the. lack
of news from Charge O'Shaughnessy
at Mexico City. For more than for
weight hours the State Department
has failed to receive a word Of news
from it's representative at the Mex
ican capital, and efforts to obtain
news of him have been futile.

SPIRIT THAT COUNTS.

The Alexandria Motor Boat Club,
which at the present time is holding
its carnival at the Elks' Club, has
generously come to the assistance OF
the proposed hospital building by an
nouncing that the entire door receipts
on next Monday evening will be do
mated to the $4,000 fund. Such
spirit coming from an organization
engaged in its own attemp. to raise
funds, is highly commendable.
One of the features at the motor
carnival tonight will be a prize fish
walk. Something rich is in store for
both the dancers and spectators.
The following contests are now
going on, and the standings OF the
contestants are as follows:

Richmond, April 23.-Lieutenant-
Colonel Allen Potts, quarter-master
general, Virginia Volunteers was
placed on duty yesterday afternoon
by order of Governor Stuart, fol-
lowing the receipt of a telegram
from Adiutant-GeneraI Simpson, OF
the Department of the East, United

General w. w. Sale Immediately to
find a suitable site for mobiliza-
ton camp for the Virginia militia,
and to make necessary arrangements
for supplying it with an adequate
water supply and with fuel.
In compliance with this order, Col
onel Potts opened negotiations with
owners of the old Deep Run Hunt
Club grounds on Hermitage Road
which grounds were considered an
ideal place for the mobilization
camp. The plans, however, met with
serious check through the positive
refusal of the present owner to
consider the proposal. There is
more than a chance that some other
city will get the camp.
While not definitely advised, it is
believed by some of the State Of
ficials that the Virginia militiamen
will be ordered into camp within
the next forty eight hours.

Washington, April 23.-Numerous
kilograms and letters were received
by the Virginia congressman here
yesterday from people Of all classes
and ages throughout the Old Domin-
ion, requesting the Congressman to
use their efforts to have their names
enrolled upon the first list of volun-
teers for service in Mexico when the
proper time arrives. These commun-
ications came not only from young
men who have never smelled blood
or powder, but many were from vet
Grams of former years.
Colonel John S, Mosby, comman-
der of cavalry in the Confederate
army, was the first Virginian to vol
unteer his services to President
Wilson in the present crisis.
The second V;rginian was Richard
Evelyn Byrd, Jr., ensign in the Uni
ted States Navy, who wishes to be
detailed at once to duty in Mexico.

Rebel Chiefs Communica-
ton Savors Of Ultimatum
to President Wilson.
WOULD FIRE SALUTE.
President Wilson Notifies Rebel Chief
That Should He Join Huerta, He
Will do 81 at His Peril.

Washington, April 23.-Inviting
the United States to Immediately
withdraw its forces, from Mexican
territory on the ground that the
seizure of the custom house at Vera
Cruz involved an act of war against
the entire Mexican nation, and init
mating the refusal to do this will be
followed by war, General Venustiano
Carranza, first chief of the constitu-
tionalists, served what reads like an
ultimatum on President Wilson to-
day.
AS an alternative proposition Car
rama suggests that after with
drawing it's forces the United States
recognize the Constitutionalist
Government and then present to it a
demand for reparation for the in
suit offered the American flag at
Tampico.
If this is done, Carranza makes it
clear full reparation in the way OF a
salute to the American colors will
be made. Carranza's message is di-
rected to President Wilson and
comes as response to message sent
him early today by Secretary
Bryan.
1t must lie remembered that Car
rama is in an extremely delicate po-
sition as representing the constitu,.
tionalist cause and aspiring to tine
leadership ofthe Mexican nation
while claiming to represent the sole
constituted government of Mexico.
His note is intended for the eyes of
the Mexican populace.
It would be difficult for him to do
less or say less under such circum-
stances ard at the same time appeal
to Mexican national sentiment.
Washington, April 23.-In . purlic
statement this morning President
Wilson served notice on General Car
rama. commander-in-chief Of ~. reh-
i c,rces, that the latter will GO ~ he
support of Huerta at his own peril.
rrhc significance of the President 5
statement was summed up in one SEN
tence.
He declared that the United States
expects to zeal with those whom
Huerta commands, "and those who
come to his support" Moreover, the
President, in substance, flatly refuses,
the invitation of the rebel chieftaan
that he evacuate Vera Cruz.
1t now rests with Carranza whether
the operations of the American forces
shall be confined to an attempt to
wrest from Huerta complete satlsfac-
tion for the Tampico incident OF
whether the uniteH land and nsval
forces of the United States are to be
hurled into Mexico for decisive wal
between the two countries.
He gave out the following state
ment:
Il wish; to reiterate with the great
est earnestness the desire and inten-
ton of this government to respect
every possible way the sovreignity ane
independence of the people of Mexico
"Ihe feeling and intention of tt
government in this matter was mo-
basei upon policy. They go mucf
deeper than that. They are baset
upon genuine friendship for. thu
Mexican people and profound inter
est in the reestablishment of their
constitutional system. -.

BOISE, Ida., Sept. 5.-(Special) J.
The grand total assessed valuation
of all the counties in the state of Ida
no, exclusive of personal property, is
1891 ,086, ,395.28. This amount was
reached Wednesday afternoon by the

ter it had worked for two weeks on

resentatiye Advises Holding Grain.

Though the Chicago grain markets
on American grain and the European
war has caused heavy advances on the
Liverpool market, it is significant that
the prices on grain in the Pacific
| Northwest have been slumping off
since last Tuesday, the day that
coast millers met in session causing
drop on Wednesday morning of five
cents per bushel on bluestem wheat
and corresponding slump on other
grain. The Tri-State Terminal Ware
house company, the Farmers Union
organization handling grain at term
inals, has sent out letters to all the
locals in the Northwest advising farm
ers to hold their grain and refuse to
sell on the slumping prices.
Such was in the information brought
to Moscow today by George A. Marshall
of Spokane, district representative of
the Tri-State Terminal Warehouse
company. Mr. Marshall asserts that
bluestem dropped from SLIP to $105
on the coast after the meeting of the
millers.
at is estimated that 100000 bu-
shells of wheat was unloaded on the
market on last Saturday and Monday"
said Mr.. Marshall "Oats have been
a steady seller since the jump in
prices but farmers are selling very
little barley. We are advising
all those who can afford it to
hold their grain. The slump is only |
temporary in our opinion, however,
we do not wish to advise farmers to |
lold who cannot afford to do so. There

DATA ON IDAHO CROP
Estimate of Federal Government !!
Winter Wheat 9,3OO,OOO
Bushels.

A recent estimate issued by the
bureau of crop estimates for the
United States government (formerly
the bureau of statistics) gives lot oi
Interesting data relative to the croI
lconditions of the state of Idaho, q
summary of which follows this being
for the month of August:
The forecast of corn production in
the state equals 100000 bushels; win
ter wheat, 100000 bushels; spring
wheat, 100000 bushels; oats, a.
100000 bushels; barley 7,780,000
bushels; potatoes, 5,490,000 bushels;
hay (tame) 100000 tons.
The report gives the condition of
the pastures of the state at 80 per
cent perfect. and the percentage con-
dition of cabbages at SO per cent; ap-
pies, II per cent; canteloupes, rs per
cent, and sugar beets at 95 per cent.
The compilation of the these facts is
brought about each month by a corps
of government experts travelling the
state over, and it is only this year that
such valuable information is avail
able. Heretofore the government de-
pended solely upon newspaper re-
ports and such statistics as gathered
by meagre force of agents, but this
year a system was inaugurated that
will come nearer to giving the true
condition than any yet put to practice
by the government. The crop reports
are issued monthly and all persons
may secure copy by send
ing their name and address to the
agricultural department at Washing
on, or to the local weather bureau.
