Operators here say they have in

have been destroyed.
The entire strike district, from

to Dclagua, four miles north Of Lud-
low. is in possession of the strike SYM

about the coal camps at Rugby, Pri-
nero and Black Diamond, and attacks
ond these mines are momentarlty cN-
Dected. Three battles were fought
yesterday at Dclagua, the Black Hills
and the Empire Mine. Three mine

An intense feeling prevails here in

showing intense hostility to the mali

provoke an outbreak. Militia officers
have wired for President Wilson to
send Federal troops, asserting that
only in that way will the militia be
saved from paying the penalty Of its
months OF lawlesSnesS. rapine and
murder.
Meanwhile the search of the Ltld-

900 before it is finished. They will
want $4,000 or 100000 men and the

Il have always thought president
Wilson was wrong at the beginning
in the way he treated Huerta. i
looks to me very much as though
Wilson is ignorant Of foreign affairs
and OF Mexico in particular. He
doesn't understand the intense pride
of the Latin-American race. They
are not like Us Anglo Saxons, who
take things more calmly. Latin
Americans, when once their national

Mexico City, April 20.-portillo y
Rojas. minister Of foreign uTairs,
stated that it would be Impossible TO
agree to the demand Of the United
States that the flag of that country
be Internationally saluted, gave out
the following statement:
"On the 9Th Of the present m3n..,.
between II o'clock and noon, Il boat
without an American flag and with
nine marines and one officer landed
at a point called the Beach Of ltllr-
nide, in Tampico. Col. Raymon Hin
oiosa, who has charge Of defending
that point, Gained he marines aad
officer and conducted them to the
presence of the general who had COM
mand of the fort, Ignacio Merelos
ZaragoSa.
1T should be remembered that at
this time the port not only was under
military control, but was withstand
my al dlldCh ny IlCUelS.
Gen. Zaragosa Immediately and
without even Investigating the CASE,
put the marines and officer at lib
erty, placed Hinojosa in prison and
sent an apology to Rear Admiral
Mayo, the commander Of the American
fleet
I'VE thought the incident was clos
ed, but unfortunately this was not so,
because Mayo sent to him some time
afterwards an ultimatum, wherein he
asked that second apology DE pres
cnted to him BY the staff Of the chief
Of the fort, Gen. ZaragoZa; that the
American flag be hoisted at public
place in Ta:npico and salutcd by y
guns, and besides the severe punish
ment Of Hiaojosa, stipulating that all
this be done within "a hours.
The term was later extended when
diplomatic pourparlers were begun
between the sub-secretary Of foreign
affairs in Mexico, the minister being
absent at that date, and continued un-
til now.
"The president Of Mexico, when in
formed Of the case, ordered another
investigation of the facts and the
punishment Ct the guilty officer, if it
we're proved he was blameworthE.
He also authorized the minister Of
foreign affairs 70 express regret on
account of the incident. When he be-
came aware that the American COVER
nment supported the request Of Rear
Admiral Mayo relative to salute Of
the American flag which had not been
insulted, he proposed to show his
goodwill toward the American peo-
pie, though he did not think that such
a request was just proposing that the
flags of the two nations be hoisted
and saluted reciprocauy and simulta-
neously.

agree with that idea but insisted upon

The men are still pinning their hopes

Physician Murdered

Tracks to Hide Crime
BY ASSociatcd PrcSS

Pittsburgh, Pa, May 12.-What the
authorities of Allegheny county be-
lieve was a murder and robbery was
uncovered early to-day when the body
of DIR. George W. Goethe, aged 2S, OF
McKeesport, was found on the railroad
tracks near Hawkins station. The head
was crushed in and both feet had been
cut off Because no blood was found
where the feet had been severed, pre-
sumably by train, the authorities be-
lieve DR.. Goethe was murdered and
robbed and the body was then thrown
on the tracks to hide the crime. The
finding of the physicians empty wallet
near the body strengthened the mur-
der theory, in the opinion Of the au-
thorities.
