ANT|-AMER|CAN FEELING
IS famed INTO FLAME
False Reports Disseminated by Gov.
ernment Arouse Mexicans on
West Coast.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 12.-False re-
ports disseminated by government boards
In Mexico City. which threatened to work
mischief for Americans at the capital
during the first days of the United States
occupation OF Vera Cruz, have reached the
west coat and famed into flame anti
American sentiment. This information
was brought here yesterday by the
steamer San Jose
According to the San Jose's advices
when the cruiser South Dakota arrived
at Acapulco April 2S a batch of the COM
munfcatfons sent out from Mexico City
was taken aboard the warship by the
British vice consul. who was acting as
American consul in the latters enforced
absence. The reports said ] 200 men from
the piratica forces of Admiral Flet cher
had been killed at Vera Cruz, mostly by
Mexican women, in making landing.
and that this country as a result of its
aggressive policy against Mexico had en-
br0iled itself with Great Britain, Ger
many and Spain.
Reports Accepted Literally.
These reports, the British vice consul
said. were accepted literally by the great
mass Of the population.
A serious anti-American demonstration
occurred at Acapulco a few days before
the South Dakota arrived. The city was
reported completely in the hands Of the
federals. whose garrison of 400 men was
well supplied with small arms and be-
ieved to be equipped with three 3-inch
field pieces.
In the brush back of the city were row
ing bands of Zapatistas who in a recent
skirmsh killed fourteen federas.
The Mexican rebel force had Its base
at the town of Dos Caminos, twenty miles

and white dress with a red collar
and a red and black hat, without
her fur coat, which she had worn
all winter. She had gone very
early In the morning, or during
the night. How had she gone?
Mr.. Ladley said he rowed her to
Federal street at half after six
and had brought the boat back.
After they had quarreled violent
ly all night, and when she was
leaving him, wouldn't he have al
lowed her to take herself away?
Besides. the police had found no
trace of her on an early train.
And then at daylight, between
five and six, my own brother had
seen a woman with Mr.. Howell.
a woman who might have been
Jennie iBrice. But IL IL was. why
did not Mr.. Howell say so?
Mr.. Ladley claimed she was
hiding, in revenge. But Jennie
Brice was not that sort of wom-
an; there was something big
about her, something that is
found often in large women a
lack OF spite. She was not petty
or malicious. Her faults, like her
virtues, we're for all to see.

Mr.. Holeombe was not salts
fled. In some way or other he
had got permission to attend the
autopsy, and had brought away a
tracing of the scar. All the way
home i'm the street car he stared
at the drawing, holding first one
eye shut and then the other. But,
like the coroner, he got nowhere.
He folded the paper and put 1t In
his note book.
"None the less, Mrs. Pitman,"
he said, that is the body of Jen-
ME Brice; her husband killed her.

took the body out in the boat and

had had no such scar. and Mr..

she had never heard of one, and

ing of the sort. ] was watching
him, and | did not think he was
lying. And yet-the hand was
very like Jennie Brice's. 1t was
all bewildering.
Mr.. Ladley's testimony at the
inquest was disappointing. He
was cool and collected: said he
had no reason TO believe that his
wife was dead. and less reason
to think that she had been drown
ed; she had left him in a rage,
and II she found out that by hid
ing she was putting him in an
unpleasant position, she would
probably hide indefinitely.
To the disappointment of ev-
erybody, the identity of the wom-
an remained a mystery. No one
with such scar was missing. A
small woman of my own age, a
Mrs. Murray, whose daughter, a
stenographer. had disappeared,
attended the inquest. But her
daughter had had no such scar,
and had worn her nails short, be-
cause of using the typewriter.
Alice Murray was the missing
girls name. Her mother sat be-
side me, and cried most of the
time.
One thing was brought out at
the inquest: the body had been
thrown into the river after death.
There was no water In the lungs.
The verdict was death by the

You are making a mistake,

He came close to me and stared
into my face. And from that he
looked at my cloth gloves, at my
coat, and he shook his white
head. II sure thought you was
Miss Bess," he said, and made no
further effort to detain me. He
led the way to the door where
the machine waited, his head
shaking with the palsy of age,
muttering as he went. He opened
the door with his best manner,
and stood aside.

again!"
He caught my arm and pulled
me back into the hall, and there
he held me, crying over me, NUT
tering praises for my return, beg
ging me to come back, recalling
little tender things out of the past
that almost killed me to hear
again.
But had made my bed and
must lie in 1t. l forced him to
swear silence about my visit; I

Dear old Isaac! I would not
let him come to see me, but the
next day there caiue basket,
