Huerta Stations Guards at the
Palace and Arsenal
As Result of Reports of q P0-
lice Conspiracy.
IS IN FEAR OF 4 COUP D'ETAT
February 9 Fixed as Date fol-
the Revolt.
COppers Were Pledged to Unite
With the Soldiers.

Mexico City, Feb. Troops guarded
the palace. the arsenal and the artillery
barracks. throughout the night. as the
planned a coup d'etat in the shape OF
a new revolt against the government
Of General Huerta. For a time last
night considerable excitement was
caused by the activity Of the soldiers
and report that an outbreak had
actually occurred in Guadalupe. a sub
urb, seven miles northeast of the capi-
tai, where fighting was said to be In
progress.
Telephone messages early today
failed to confirm the rumors of fighting.
It was thought that the fact that troops
had been hurriedly sent to the suburb
ness for a possible uprising. was re-
sponsible for the Guadalupe reports.
General Banquet, minister OF war,
and others of the military officers in
command in the capital, were in con-
ference during the night and 1t was as
sumed that the military activity that
ensued was an outcome of their talk.
Officially it was denied. however, that
the meeting was held to consider any
plot. Reports about the capital were
that $500 police in the capital were in
volved in the plot and that they had
pledged themselves to revolt with GER
tain Of the troops.
Tho beginning Of the new revolt, ac-
cordingi to the reports, was fixed for
February Q, the anniversary of the be-
ginning Of tho ten days bombardment
. OF the capitol by the rebels last year.
which was followed. by the death of
President Madero and the assumption
OF the provisional presidency by Cen
eral Huerta.

Game May Yet Break Up ssImpassable
Gun'' Between East and West.

Every traveller in a foreign land Is
to some extent an ambassador for his
country. Particularly is this true IL
the traveller happens to be an athlete
meeting his international neighbors in
friendly contests. Indeed, the intro
duction of a new sport into a country
has sometimes done more to modify
international relations than years Of
diplomacy.
Dean c. worcester recently said
that baseball has done more to break
up the practice of head hunting in
the Philippine islands than the COM
bined efforts of the army and civil
government Our national game has
likewise been successfully introduced
into Japan. That the japanese have
taken to it with astonishing avidity
may be adduced as additional evil
dence. II any is necessary. that there
is no impossible gulf between the

MAKES A new RECORD
Shipments to Non-contiguous Terri

Washington. Feb. 7.-Eclipsing all
previous records, American merchan-
disc valued at $111,600,00O found
markets in the non-contiguous terri
tory of the United States in 1913.
This compares with $1OS,OOO,OOO In
1912; $93,5OO,00O in 1911; $37.00O,OO0
ten years ago, and $7,00O.000 twenty
years ago.
Figures made public by the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce
place the value of the shipments of
merchandise from the United States
to Porto Rico in 1913 at $32,9OO.O0O:
to Hawaii, $29, 9,SOO,O0O; to the Philip
pines, $27,9O0,0OO; to Alaska, $21.-
100000, and to Guam and American
Samoa, a little less than $25O,OOO.
The shipments to the Philippines
show an increase OF more than So.

previous year: those to Hawaii an in

Porto Rico show about $1,OOO,OOO

about $4,000 less than in 1912.

LOST IN THE ICE.
Navy Tug Potomac Is Being Searched
for by Wireless.

Washington, Feb. 7.-Wireless
calls were sputtering out from the big
navy towers 1T Arlington today. to the
frozen wastes of the Newfoundland
coast, searching for the navy tug Po-
tomac, lost in the ice after an unsuc-
cessful attempt to rescue the crews
of the fishing schooners, Hiram Low
ell and Frances Willard. The heavy
ice packs in the Bay of Islands turned
the sturdy Potomac back from her
work after days of useless smashing
at the frozen fields that hold the
Lowell and willard; so she left the
bay for North Sydney Thursday night
and should have put into port yester-
day.
When the tug was not heard from
today, navy officers said there was no
cause for alarm, but put the wireless
feeling for her. They thought she
merely had been delayed making her
way through the heavy ice in the
straits.
The jam, however, probably will be
the salvation of the crews of the inn
prisQned fishing schooners. Officials
here are not concerned for their safe
ty, saying if their ships are crushed
in the pack they easily can make
their way to shore over the ice.
