MINES OF DYNAMITE
PLACED IN STREETS
BY HUERTA'S ORDER
By CHARLES NICHOLSON,
Special Staff Correspondent Of the In.
ternational News Service,

VERA CRUZ, May 9.-President Vic
toriano Huerta has mined the streets
of his capital. If he is overthrown he
plans to wreck the city, making the
world gasp at the catastrophe that
marks his downfall.
This is the amazing story brought
here by Oscar Brain, a prominent min
ing man of Oaxaca
"Huerta has reason to prepare for
the end" said Mr.. Brain today. "a
pata and Salgodo have 10000 men
massed south of the capital. Figuaroa
holds the district west of the city with
5000 men. The Americans are on the
east, and coming down from the north
are Villas triumphant soldiers.
"'Huerta has stopped drinking in
the afternoon, but he must be crazy
is heard on every side in Mexico City.
He has had all the dynamite from the
Pachuco mines brought to the capital.
Paraded Through Streets.
This was paraded through the prin-
cipal streets in twenty wagons, and
then distributed to the police head
quarters between the national palace
and the cuidodeta. He has had
trenches dug in the streets, and these
have been mined kith sixty tons of
giant powder.
Meanwhile he is fortifying and
provisioning the national palace and
the citadel, and is also planting heavy
artillery at Guadalupe. In these
strongholds he will make his last
stand. If overcome he says the world
will gasp at the extent of the catas-
trophe."
Many other refugees confirm Brains
statements that Huerta's end is near,
and that he is confronted with the
alternatives: Fleeing to Americans, who
are the only ones who will spare his
life, or dying in the ruins of his cap
ital or at the hands of rebel firing
squad. Most of the refugees here be-
lieve Huerta's fate will be determined
within a week.

about the perforating,> marking and

The last department visited by the
guests was the shipping department.
Souvenirs, such as pieces of wood,

partments The adjustable valve, the

NAPLES, Italy, May "a series of
violent earthquake shocks in eastern
Sicily have killed many persons and
destroyed or wrecked a number of vii
lagos. The destruction which began
last night at about 10 o'clock, contin-
ued today. The volcano Mount Etna is
becoming active and there are fears
of an overwhelming eruption.
Communication was interrupted by
the quake and it was not until today
that the full seriousness of the disas-
ter was learned. The property damage
is vast, running into millions.
There were three heavy shocks,
followed by intermittent undulations
The greatest force was spent near
the villages Of Acireale, .Linera and
Mangano. Linera was destroyed and
many persons caught beneath the fall

After inspecting the entire plant the
guests returned to the administration
building. where they were welcomed
by the girls employed in the offices
and officials of the company. They
were taken into the front office where
seats had been provided and where
later musical program demonstrating
the various uses of the player piano
was given. The offices were beautiful
They were decorated with huge boughs
of apple blossoms, lilacs and ferns
Punch and waters were served Each
guest was given a handsome deck of
cards.
An interesting feature of the morn
ing's entertainment was the beautiful
demonstration in dancing by Miss
Gladys Bailey, of this city, and Mr..
Robert Taylor, of Indianapolis.
Miss Ruth Harris sang "Violets,"
accompanied by Mr.. Harry Gennett on
the player piano, and was called to
respond to encore. Miss Blanch Lu

Judging by the applause which greet

violinist was realized. She played a

At the close of the recital an infor-
NAL reception was held. The guests
were delighted with the hospitality
shown them by their hosts.
