construe the action, which would be a
forward movement and betoken practical
ly certain war?
Military and naval authorities acquaint-
ed with the huge advantage in the pos
session of the bridges have placed the
matter squarely before the President and
he was giving it deep consideration today.
The question of immediate seizure in
Cruz and the probable necessity Of trans
porting troops to Vera Cruz from Calves
ton. The authorities here fear that
there are not enough marines and sailors
at Vera Cruz to handle the city and hold
the two bridges without help from the
army or from additional marine forces.
A big force would be required at each
bridge and they would be the object of
attack by the MeXicans as soon as the
Mexicans could gather sufficient forces to
make the attack. But that the possess
sion of the bridges means much to this
country is recognized on every side.
Familiar With Situation.
Maj. Smedley Butler of the Marine
Corps, who has been under fire many
times, has already been pushed out along
the railroad line. but not beyond the
suburban limits Of Vera Cruz. He is
said to be thoroughly familiar with the
line and everything connected with it.
Only recently he spent some time in Mex
leo and along the railroad line. In his
command are fifty men who can run rail-
road engines and repair railroad lines,
but they would be unable for weeks or
months to rebuild bridges like those now
in the spotlight. These men obtained
ideal railroad training while at Panama
and are declared to be experts in the
business. Maj. Butler, three times wound
ed in China, is an able engineer and has
been studying the railroad line for
months to be acquainted with every fea-
ture Of 1t.
1t was believed today that the admin-
istration will be compelled, in the face
Of fast-developing events, to take these
two bridges.
AS to the calling of volunteers it was
learned from a high military source to-
day that If war with all Mexico is to
come out Of what has been done, the
War Department will first call for $4,000

The status of these internes IS likely to
be changed very soon to that of prison
ers of war, and it is the intention of the
War Department to remove them to a
point sufficiently distant from the bor-
der to insure their safekeeping as soon as
the necessary funds are forthcoming.
Plans to Protect Texans.
The plans of campaign are being ar
ranged on the lines of the immediate
establishment of a sufficient protection
along the entire northern border Of Mex
leo for the American Inhabitants in Texas
and the other border states. Following
that will develop the details of the orig

Many offers of merchant ships for use

the Navy Department.

larger foreign ports have been obtain

London, July s.-The brief respite
in the militant suffragette agitation
ended today when Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst resumed command of the
forces of the Women's Social and Po-
litical Union, at their London head
quarters. Mrs. Pankhurst, who re-
occupied the offices at noon, was,
however. permitted to remain in ac-
tive command of the militants for on
ly very brief period. When she
emerged from her Headquarters to go
to lunch the police pounced on her
and took her to Holloway jail.
simultaneously with the reap
pearance of Mrs. Pankhurst a violent
scene was created in the central
criminal court. where Mrs. Hall, Miss
Grace Roe, Miss Julia Jameson and
Miss Ellen hrmes were brought up
for trial for conspiracy. The charge
against them was "conspiring with
others maliciously to commit damage
and injury and to spoil certain real
and personal property of the subjects

Denver, Colo, July S.-The state
supreme court today held that the
Denver city bonds for the driving
OF tunnel through the continental
divide to be used by the Denver and
Salt Lake railroad were unconstitu-
tional on the ground that it would
lend public credit to private en-
terprise.
At a special election last Febru-
ary the electors OF Denver author
lied the issuance of $4,000. 900 city
bonds to drive the tunnel to be used
by the Denver and Salt Lake rail-
road, the road to contribute $1,5DO,-
900. In an agreement between the
city and the road the latter was to
meet the interest payments on the
bonds and provide for the redemp-
tion. In the agreement the city was
given the right to use the tunnel
for various purposes.
The court did not declare the
amendment to the Denver city char
ter by which the issue of bonds was
authorized unconstitutional. This, it
ia said, will prevent referendum

Trinidad Is to be well advertised.
Besides appearing in line float has

Raging River Sweeps
Away Team Of Horses,
Man is Saved

While trying to cross the Purga-
toire river under the Commercial
street bridge with dump wagon
loaded with small trees and brush,
the team belonging to Joseph Feicc-
berino, rancher near FL Moro, was
swept away by the stiff current and
one horse was instantly drowned
while the other received bad duck
ing and was nearly exhausted when
rescued.
The farmers near Ell Moro are now
engaged in putting in dam near
the Commercial street bridge to
steer the water into the irrigation
ditch. John Feiccberino, who was
driving the team at the time, was
attempting to cross the stream and
unload the brush on the dam which
was nearly completed. The team ran
into a wire which was stretched
from the dam to the middle pier os
the bride. The horses stumbled over
the wire aud were carried down the
stream by the current which is un-
usually swift at this time of the year.
One of the horses was quickly res
cued, while the other became entan-
gled in the harness and was instant
iy drowned.
The river at this point Is too deep
to be readily forded and the current
has an increased velocity on account
of the dam which is now partially
erected. Feiccberino stated that he
valued the horse at $3.50 and would
attempt to recover the sum from the
ditch company.

whom is J. A. Laughlin, who holdss

The constitutionalists' position, 1t

operation without loss of life by

as Benito Juarez operated in Vera

headquarters here OF the state lead
ers.
Delegations OF Progressives came
to New York from various parts of
the state to urge Colonel Roosevelt
to take the nomination. They said
frankly they had no other candidate
and had not even considered another
name for the head of the ticket.
Colonel Roosevelt's position was
reinforced by the attitude of Pro-
gressives in other states. Ever since
his return from Europe he has been
receiving letters and kilograms from
Progressives in all parts OF the coun-
try, urging him not to accept the
nomination. In some cases it has
been charged that the New York
leaders are willing to run the chance
OF injuring the party in the nation
for the sake of making good show
ing in this state.
