the out of doors, and if his health
permits they probably will take an ex-
tended honeymoon voyage on his
yacht, the Mona.
Until a week ago, the young heir
to the vast Aston estate-estimated at
from $75 100000 to 100000, 000-was
confined to his room in the Hunting
ton residence. While visiting his IL
ancee a month ago he became seri-
ously i'll with an abscess on the lungs
and for q time there was talk of post
poning the wedding. Yet, although his
physicians permitted him to go out
doors for the first time only four days
ago, young Aston insisted that there
should be no delay.
1t is understood that Mr.. and Mrs.
Astor will remain at their country
home, Ferncliffe, at Rhinebeck. not far
from the Huntington place, for at least
a month. At the end of that time
they hope that Mr.. Astor's health will
permit them to have the delayed
yachting cruise and to tour Europe,
with a visit in England at the home
of his mother, Mrs. Ava Willing AS
tor.
A holiday was declared at both the
Huntington and Astor estates in hon
or of the wedding. To the disappoint-
ed servants who did not see the eere-
mony a special luncheon was served.
The Huntington family declined to
give out any list or description of the
many and handsome presents received
by the bride. Most of these were TAX
en- immediately to safe deposit vaults
in a Poughkeepsie bank.

credit upon the discipline and re-
sources of the men of the navy and
the marine corps.
I'm nine days work the City of
Vera Cruz was occupied by the navy,
lawlessness and disorder were sup
pressed, 1900 firearms were taken
possession of and a line of defences
Established around the city against an
army threatening to re-capture it.
Business has been resumed and
normal conditions restored. The mu-
nicipal government of the city has
been re-established under the control
of its people and civil government
formed to carry out the laws of the
state and of the federal government.
The officers and men of the naval
forces deserve the highest commend
alton for having done this work COM

THE highest honor is due to those
who gave their lives in the service Of
their country"
THE first serious case to come be-

D. f. Sellers of the Arkansas, indi-

the name of j. r. Mulcahy, who assert

told the provost marshal that he had
information of there whereabouts of a
quantity of arms and ammunition in the
hands of Mexicans.
"Mulcahy was given a squad of three

arms and ammunition. Led by Mulcahy
the men went to a gambling house where
Mulcahy in Spanish demanded money in

as a second captain of police.

transaction, watched Mulcahy compel
the opening of the safes. which proved
to be empty, the cashier explaining that
the funds had been turned over to his

thereupon forced to conduct the party
to the residence of Nau, from whom
money was demanded Nau handed
over 5000 pesos, which Mulcahy carried
to his hotel where he dismissed the ma

arrested and placed IN jail. The money
was recovered and returned to Nau.

clination to receive the proposition
arose out of no desire to pass on its
merits but merely because they had
been authorized to receive proposals of
such Importance. They said they adj

Administration officials who read the

his answer but hoped that technical

Rumors Of Progress
Various conjectural reports contin-
ued to circulate as to the work of the
mediators One of these. as to a neu-
trail zone around Tampico, was later
said not to have been considered by
the mediators. Another referred to a
temporary provisional commission in
Mexico in case Huerta retired. There
was nothing authoritative as to this,
but it was believed in some quarters
that Huerta now realized that his
strength and authority had waned I'M

suggested establishment of a neutral
zone about Tampico so that neither
Of Federal nor Constitutionalist oper-
ations would destroy the valuable for
