fore the Senate ana committee to
testify or the. economic eatures Of the
| Panama tolls exemption for coastwise
vessels. He is expected to favor re-
peal.
The colonel was asked to come at the

set for the closing of the hearings.
In that event Senator Simmons will
not ask for an extension of the hear
ings, but either request that Colonel
Cocktails testimony be Incorporated in

Sentiment was said to be c~rystalliz-
ing in the committee today for an am

lating that the United States will give
up no rights Of sovereignty over the
canal by the repeal Of the exemption.
Supporters of that idea hope to win
the president to that view.
Almost Unanimous
At the hearing today Welding Ring
of the executive board of the New York
chamber of favored repeal
on the ground hat the exemption
clause was a subsidy and violated
treaty obligation, and said that his or

Senator Bristow, opposing repeal,
asked Mr.. Ring. why if tolls are
charged through the Panama canal
they should not be charged for entering
New York and other harbors and rivers

been spent.
Senate Simmons contended there
was no discrimination between Amer
lcan and foreign ships coming to Amer

ENGLAND FORESEES
LONG STRUGGLE TO
PLACATE MEXICANS
European Powers Hail With Delight
Likelihood That United States
Will Undertake to Re-
store Peace.

London, April 2O.-Mexico over
Swallowed all other affairs in public
interest here today. Throughout the
British Isles, the local and imperial
politics, although of great Importance,
had to give way to what had been con-
sldered here for a long time, the in
evitable intervention by the United
States to restore order in Mexico.
The Westminster Gazette, leading
government organ in expressing the
view that nothing can now avert war
or if not war, what late William ~
Gladstone would have called militars
operations" says:
one cannot pretend to be surprised
that this should be the end of the re-
fuSal OF the United States to recognize
General Huerta. There are a good
many other nations, which in other cir
cumstances might have tackled the
hornets nest, but this case is one in
which the Monroe doctrine saddled the
United States with heavy obligations
from which there is no escape"
The Pail Mall Gazette, an opposition
newspaper says:
our sympathy with the Americans
does not blind us to the perils Of the
course to which they seem about tc.
commit themselves"
The Globe says:
on lne united states VIII be laid the
extremely difficult duty of protecting
both it's own citizens and foreigners,
exposed to Mexican barbarity. In ali
probability an eventual reorganization
OF the whole country of Mexico will
be necessary. Undoubtedly General
Huerta,s action is a counsel of despera-
ton. adopted in the hope that all fac
tons in Mexico will unite with him to
repel the gringo attack. Many OBJ
servers are of the opinion that this
may prove correct. In that case the
United States has before it a gigantic
task"
The Evening Standard thinks that
General Huerta is mistaken if he ex-
poets to produce a wave of popularity
for himself 1t says:
General Villa is unlikely to let lust
be thrown into his eyes by such q
maneuver. He is winning and knows
it AND has no intention of ~relinauishing
the prize when it is almost within his
grasp.
Intervention should be hailed with
satisfaction by Europeans. Great Brit
ain has 5000, 000. 900 invested in Mexico
and cannot afford to lose that sum
The outcome will be that Mexico will
be po1ced by a strong national army
under American supervision.

RUMORS OF PLOT TO
SET PRISONERS free
Vigilance Redoubled at Prison
Camp at Fort Bliss,
Today.

Fort Bliss, Tex. Special: Vigilance
over the Mexican prison camp was re-
doubled today upon receipt of infor-
nation limiting at the possibility of a
plot to free the 5000 former federal
soldiers interned here. A dead line has
been marked out inside the fence. be-
yaGd which the prisoners are not al
lowed to move.
1t was learned that a man upon
which habitual watch has been kept for
months had purchased a supply Of wire
clippers, which might be used to cut
the barbed wire fence around the
prison camp.
AT intervals around camp, sentries,
standing on elevated platforms with
loaded rifles, are on guard and four
rapid firers are ready for instant action
in case of an outbreak. The prisoners
have no weapons except the axes given
them for %chopping fire wood, a few
building tools and a number of spades.

WILLIAM GIBSON.

Rather than give up the principles
which he prizes more than anything
else, William Gibson, the second Baron
of A~shbourne, who takes his seat in the
English house of lords next month,
dressed in the Irish costume which he
loves 50 well, has lost at inheritance of
$3.50, 600.
His father. the late Baron Ashbourne.
the noted Unionist leader, left this
princely fortune to the brother of the.
present lord because of his refusal to
give up the Nationalist principles.
Lord Ashbourne is probably the mosf
enthusiastic of N~ationalists. He wears
the ancient Irish dress, speaks the
irish language and is a convert to
Catholicism.

but nowhere did they give any evidence
Of hostility, toward Americans.

Commissioners May Construct Ur
West Fork Of Nine Mile.

In response to petition presented
by people interested in mining on the
west fork of Nine Mile and other cit
liens of the county. the county COM
missioners ordered a survey made Of
the proposed road and estimates of Its
cost, George r. Trask, county sur
veyor, was engaged on the survey yes
terday and when his report is in it is
altogether probable that the commits
sioners will order the construction OF
the road. The proposed road will
leave the present county road at
Bum station and follow the west bank
of the creek to the Treasure Vault
mine. at the head Of the gulch. dis
lance of little more than a mile. 1t
will follow water grade and involves
no rock work. The more prominent
mining properties that will be served
by this road are the Treasure Vault,
Log Cabin and Nine Mile. 1t is a
highly promising section and the COM
missioners would be abundantly JUS
tilted in making the small approprla-
ton necessary for its construction.
