 Of the contents of the case only a saucer was damaged to the extent of about fifty dollars and a few dollars will suffice to replace the eight broken panes in the case.

Cummins refused to take the message; arguing that he was neutral and should not mix in political affairs of the country.
 At this Villa became very angry and said we foreigners were demand ing that he protect foreigners and be humanitarian in his acts, and that at the very first opportunity given us to do some good we refused He com menced to talk about probably having to fight all of us, when l interposed and advised Cummins to go.
