ANOTHER BRITON IN TROUBLE.
America Urged to Help Englishman
in NexicO-PrOmpt Steps Are
Taken.

Washington, March 7.-Another
British subject has got into trouble
in tne State of Chihuahua and the
state department again has been
called On TO extend it's protection. SiI
Cecil Springs-Rice called at the state
department to inform Secretary Bryan
that an Englishman named Syndan
had been driven away from his ranch
and that his property was in danger.
Secretary Bryan Immediately tele-
graphed Consul Letcher at Chihuahua
to make an inquiry. If necessary a
protest will be made to Carranza OF
Villa.
Technically the commission charged
with investigating the killing of W.
S. Benton will continue IN existence
and Secretary Bryan said today its
functions simply had been suspended.
There seems to be no present in
tention of returning any answer to the
communication from Gen. Huerta pro-
testing against the removal Of the en-
barge on arms. The department would
not care to risk the construction that
such a response would constitute
formal recognition of the Huerta gov
ernment.
Consular Agent Carothers at Chi
huahua was directed by Secretary
Bryan today to intercede with consti-
tutionalist leaders in behalf Of Luis
Terrazas, who, press reports said, hat
been condemned to death unless
quarter of million in ransom was
paid by his family. The American
agent was directed to use every effort
to prevent the carrying out of this
threat, pointing out that American tol-
erance might be alienated from the
constitutionalist cause by such an act.

CALLS OUT GUARD.
Sacramento Wrestles With Problem OF
CnemplOyed.-NO Solution Has
Been Reached.

Sacramento, CAL, March 7.-Sacra-
mento wrestled all day with the un-
employed problem, precipitated by
the arrival here of Cen Kelley's
army, on it's way to Washington. To-
night no solution mad been reached,
but a company of State militia had
been ordered out to guard the State
arsenal and to be in readiness to an
swer riot call Companies from Orr
vile, Stockton, Chico and Woodland
were notified to hold themselves IN
readiness for similar service
More than 300 recruits joined the
army, which is now divided into two
rival factions of almost equal strength,
one obey:ng the orders of Gen. ,"
Kelley and the other composed of
seceders. About 14,500 men are in
the two camps Leaders of the men
called at the executive mansion today
and demanded of Gov. Johnson that
they be supplied with food and trans
portation to the State line. The gov
ernor offered them work instead, and
they refused, declaring they would
accept no employment until they had
completed the march to Washington.
No decision could be reached by
city and county officials as to what
disposition should be made of the
army. One of the questions debated
was whether or not to Snip it back
to San Francisco, where it started.
There were no disturbances at the
rival camps, although emissaries of
the seceders added to the bitter feel
ing by inducing a number of Gen"
Kelley's followers to desert.
Three committeeman from the anti
Kelley faction drew a sharp rebuke
from Gov. Johnson when they refused
work he had offered them.
"FGr the men who want work, l
have tie greatest sympathy he said,
"and ! am willing to do everything
I can to help them. For tne men who
won't work, which underS and is the
principle with 1le Industria, Workers
Of eae World, / have no sympathy.
"2Yu do not present an unemployed
problem. What you are presenting
is a particular propaganda and ask
ing the State to assist you in spread
ing the propaganda. These are not
the actions of unemployed men,"

PLANS TO SWEEP CLEAN.
COlquitt Will Take No Chances OF
Missing kidnappers-TO Ask Both
Sides.

Dallas, Texas, March 6.-Goy. O. 3.
Colqu;t of Texas will make requisition
on both the federal aud rebel author
tiles in the States Of Neuyo Leon and
Coahuila, Mexico, for the missing
American ranchman Clemente Yer
CARA.
/. Gov. Colquitt made this announce
ment tonight after he had received 6
telegram from Secretary Bryan in re-
ply to one sent to Washington by the
Texas governor asking which of the
two factions the United States recog-
nized as the constituted authority in
northern Mexico.
The secretary in his telegram said
the question of requisition was one OF
justice and not of diplomacy and con-
cerned local authorities.
"As there are both Huerta govern
ors and Carranza governors in the
States of Coahuila and Neuvo Leon,
and Secretary Bryan does not say
which the federal government recog-
nizes," declared the governor, 81 will
therefore make requisition on both.
Gov. iColquitt added he expected to
get results but did not say from which
side. Gen. Joaquin Mas, federal
commander of the northern zone, not
fled the governor yesterday that ne
had ordered the arrest of the men
wanted.
Four Mexicans, including Apolonio
Rodriguez, has been charged with
horse theft in Texas, on which the
request for requisition is based. The
alleged theft led to the kidnapping e,
the owner of the stock, Vergara, and
later to his reported execution by
federals.
