colleagues had fled and took an active
part in keeping order after tho Car
rama forces withdrew and the Zapata
army entered Mexico City.

Along Well

Union, Dec. 27.-Information from
Jonesville today with reference to
the condition ofthe young ladies who
were wounded last evening in that
town by a shot from the pistol Of a
negro, who fired at another negro, is
to the effect that neither of the young
ladies are dangerously hurt, unless
complications develop.
Two negro men were firing at each
other on the streets Of Jonesville,
when a ball from the pistol of one
Of them struck and went through the
body Of one young lady and slightly
wounded her companion. Several
hundred white men had gathered
when Sheriff ]. Hay FAINT arrived.
There were many demonstrations, but
the sheriff succeeded in landing the
negroes in Jail without either of them
being injured. The pistols used were
Of large calibre, and it is almost a
miracle that the young women who
We're hit were not killed on the spot.

London, Dec. 27.-A Reuter- dis
patch from Athens says it was the
United States cruiser North Carolina
which threatened to use it's guns at
Tripoli, Syria.
The North Carolina, conveying the
American steamer Virginia, had pro-
ceeded to Tripoli and the commander
requested the Turkish authorities to
permit the British and French consuls
to depart with their national resident
in Tripoli. This request was refused.
Several French residents boarded
the Virginia but were attacked by
mob, who wounded the captain and
first officer. When the North Carolina
threatened to fire, the mob fled. The
Virginia, escorted by the North Caro-
lima, left Dedeagaweh and the North
Carolina later proceeded for Smyrna.
Many French refugees, the dispatch
adds, have already arrived at Pireus.

from the island Of Scios. on the coast
of Asia Minor, for Alexandria to take
gold to Jaffa for the relief Of Jews

of the Orion that show marks of the
fire are loaded on lighters. Cotton un-
damaged except by water is placed on
the wharf.
1t was stated yesterday by Street
Brothers that probably 5000 Of the
1C,0S2 bales comprising the Orion's
cargo will be unloaded here, and it is
estimated that 1000 bales have been

Wreck.

Washington. Dec. 22.-Gen. Car
rama and his party, en- route from
Vera Cruz to the Isthmus of Tehuaun-
tepec, narrowly escaped death when
a wild locomotive was sent crashing
into his train by hostile troops, ac-
cording TO private advices received
here late today.
The advice further states that Car
ranza's trip to the isthmus was check
ed by opposition troops which cap
tured Soledad. Carranza probably
will go to Merida in South Mexico.
Diplomatic dispatches earlier in the
day had Carranza's departure from
Vera Cruz. Factions opposed to Car.
rarza were inclined to regard it as a
flight after the defeat of his army at
Puebla but CarranZa officials pointed
out that some time ago he had ar
nounced his intention of visiting the
isthmus.
Gen. Carranza returned TO Vera
Cruz after the incident at Saledas, and
now has gone to Cordoba to inspect
mis- troops there. His office says he
later will continue his journe. to the
