-Puerta, Mexico, July 10: According
to the latest reports eX-PreSident HUI
erta and his party expect TO leave mere
Tuesday. Gen. Huer.a and Banquet,
accompanied by three or four aides Will
sail on the German cruiser Dresden.
The others will go on the steamer MeXl-
co of the Mexican Navigation com
pany, which is said to have been char
tered for the purpose. The presidential
guards will leave early in the morning
for the capital. The refusal OF Presl :
dent Carbajal to let the fugitive presl-
dent have the use of the gunboat lara
goZa has occaSioned undisguised cha-
grin. AS if to give color to the assump-
ton that the government really needs
these vessels the ZaragoZa put out 10
sea today laying her course in the dl-
rection Of Habana. The only order the
commander received was to go to Ha-
bana. 1t was reported that the Zara-
goza intended to pick up at that port
some prominent Constitutionalists ana
bring them to Mexico to enter into per-
sonal negotiations with the new provl-
sional president. The United States
cruiser Des Moines, which has been ly-
ing off the harbor followed the lara
goza. Gen. Huerta spent the day IN
his car, smoking cigarettes and chat
ting with friends. He was much less
cheerful than at any time since leaving
the capital.
A restitution suit, whereby minor
ity stockholders seek to compel for
mer and present directors to restore
to the treasury of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad COM
pany approximately s102, 100000, al
legged to have been illegally used in
building up the system, was begun last
Friday in the supreme court. The
complaint alleges that losses resulting
from the acquisition of the Boston and
Maine trolley and steamship proper
ties by the New Haven, amounted to
$1O2, 100000 and that. under the Fed
eral antitrust act the New Haven
company is entitled to recover from
the defendants three times that sum
or $500, 900. 900. The plaintiffs, who
are trustees of the late Ola Bull
Vaugnan's estate and own fifty shares
of the capital stock, asked for re-
ceiver to take possession of all claims
in favor of the defendants, but not to
interfere with the administration or
the current affairs Of the New Haven
company. The suit is against the cor
poration and the directors in office
from 1904 TO 1909. John l.. BILLIARD,
who is said to have derived a profit
of $2,000,000 from transactions with
the company was not made defend
ant, because he was not director
during that period.
Anderson, July 20: At chambers
late today Judge Prince overruled the
exception of the defendants attorney
to the rulings of Master McFaddin, OF
Richland county, and gave judgment
against John Y. Darlington in the sum
of s25, 900 for Wade Hampton Cobb, re-
ceiver for the Carolina Agency com
pany. The companys receiver brought
suit against Darlington for an account
ing of all funds received by him as
general manger and treasurer of the
company. The matter was referred to
Master McFaddin to take testimony
and make a report of his findings. He
found in the sum of $26, 900 for the com
pany's receiver but on the other hand.
gave Darlington credit for $4,000 as his
compensation for selling stock. Judge
Prince ruled that Darlington should not
receive compensation for selling stock,
since he was employed by the company
for full time, and that Darlington eX-
ceeded his authority if he advanced
money to agents. The complaint asked
for judgment of $4,000 against Gar
lington, and the court ruled that he
could not give judgment for $4,000, as
the master did, for that reason. Gar
lington, who is absent from the state.
has an interest in several thousand
acres of land in Jacks township. Laur-
ems county, but the interest in the land
will not nearly bring the amount of
judgment given today against him. The
Carolina Agency company was organ
lied as state agents for the Mutual
Life Insurance company, of Rome, Ga.
Judge Prince, in handing down the de-
cree took occasion to criticise the di-
rectory Of the company for their ap-
parent negligence in attending to the
affairs Of the company. Frank Thomp-

for Darlington.
Vancouver, b. c., July 10: Scores

constables were injured, several seri-
Ously, early today in battle with sew
eral hundred infuriated Hindus on
board the Japanese steamer Komoga-
Ia in the harbor here. Showers of coal
and other missiles rained from the
ship on the official force which attempt
cd to board the steamer from a tug.
I'm the face of the fire the attacking
party retreated and the attempt to
board the vessel temporarily was
abandoned. The Hindus braved the
stream from a big hose the tug turn
ed on them and mercilessly pelted the
officers with Jumps of coal, fire brick
and pieces of iron from what is be-
lieved TO have been the wreckage of
the engine room on the steamer fol-
lowed. No shots were fired on either
side. The HinduS had no firearms and
the police refrained from using theirs.
The battle grew out of an attempt to
rid the harbOr of the Japanese
steamer on which $50 Hindus came TO
this port three months ago only to
have the Canadian immigration Of
iicials refuse them admission to the
country. Their claim of a right TO
land as british subjects was overruled
by the courts and the steamer was or
dered 10 sail with them on board. The
Hndus had been rebelliouS and sever
al times attempted to land, but were
prevented. As the steamer was with
out provisions. the Canadian author
tiles Il day or two ago decided to put
sufficient stores on board for the VOy-
age to the Orient whence the komO-
gata came. Plans were matured care
fully and early today the tug SAGA
Ion put out with the provisions ana
what was deemed TO be Il sufficient
boarding force to overcome any OppO-
Sition. The l25 city policemen had
rcvolvers and the special COnStables
rifles. When within hailing distance
Of the Japanese vessel it was seen that
every inch of space along the rail and
on the deck and bridge was occupied
by HinduS armed with a club or 9th

steamer a solid mass of humanity was
