Bellevue hospital. testified Mahoney had
told him this Mahoney would not give

When asked if he intended to kill Mr..
Carnegie, he snapped back: That's my
business and none of yours.

cede a stage of senile idiocy. The pris-
oner was taken to his cell in the Tembs

FUNSTON TAKES COMMAND.

Vera Cruz, May 1.-The task of guard.
ing the city of Vera Cruz and its en-.
virons was taken over from the navy
yesterday by Brigadier General Freder-
lex Funston and the fifth infantry brig.
ade of the United States army.
While martial law still continues in
force the actual municipal government
is being conducted by Robert j. Kerr,
the American civil governor, who has
enlisted the aid of Mexican officials to
act under his superintendent and in ac-
cordanee with Mexican laws.
After morning enIvened bv the
marching to and fro of large bodies OF
American soldiers, sailors and marines,
the city resumed its normal and some
what sleepy life, made more gay in the
evening by outdoor dinner parties at
the numerous cafes and restaurants, ac-
eompanied by music and sometimes dane
ing.
The American troops began their dis
embarkation from the transports at an
early hour in the morning. Once on
shore they were lined up along the docks
and in the railroad yards and before
noon all had marched to the posts as
signed to them in various parts of the
city and its outlying suburbs.
As the various detachments swung
into the streets, with their bands play
ing martial airs and leading them and
their flags flying in the breeze, the ma =
tives OF the city appeared on their bal
comics or came out onto the sidewalks
and gazed with undisguised wonder at
the solid ranks of brown clothed men.
The people seemed to marvel at the
precision of the American soldiers move
ments and at the sturdy appearance Of
the men in the ranks.
Many American civilians. who had
been taking their breakfast outdoors.
left their tables and watched with pride
the passing OF the newly arrived troops.
at the same time shouting volleys of
"hurrahs' and waving hats and hand
kerchicfs.
Shortly after the last of the troops
had passed through the central streets
of the city Brigsdier General Funston
with several aids drove by in a carriage
and was greeted with an outburst of
ringing applause.
When the men had taken up their
stations and the reports had been re-
ceived by Brigadier General Funston,

BELS FIRED ON SHIP
O CUT OFF SUPPLIES
Vessel Flying Cuban Flag Was Attacked
as She Was Entering Tampico
Harbor and Aid Was Sought
from Admiral Mayo.

Washington, d. c., May l.-Rear Ad-
sniral Mayo at Tampico reported to the
navy department last night that the
Ward line steamer Antila. flying the
Cuban flag, was fired upon and held up
In the river there Wednesday by con-
stitutionalists but later steamed into
port under cover of fire upon the rebels
from the Mexican federal gunboat Vera
Cruz.
The helmsman of the Antilla was
wounded by the rebel fire and the steam
er anchored, sending out wireless IS. o.
s." signals. Admiral Mayo sent along
side boat with his aide and a medical
officer from the flagship Des Moines.
Then officers of the foreign men of
war off the port, headed by Captain
Doughty of the British cruiser Hermione,
called upon the coDstitutionalist com
mander for an explanation of the incl
dent.
The constitutionalist officers declared
that they proposed in future to prevent
any merchant vessels entering Tampico
in order to keep supplies and stores from
the federals.
Soon after this conference. Admiral
Mayo's report said the gunboat Vera
Cruz opened fire upon the constitution
alists, and the Antila under cover of
the shelling proceeded up the river to
the wharves. Shells from the Vera Cruz
set fire to two big oil lighters at the
Waters-Pierce refinery pier and they
were still blazing at last report.
Naval officers here said no official no.
tice would be taken by Admiral Mayo
of the Antilla incident. They expressed
the opinion however, that the British
and other foreign warships at the port
would demand that the constitutionalists
refrain from interfering with commerce.

CAMPAIGN STARTS SATURDAY.
For Board Of Trade Fund Toward Hotel

the Board Of Trade is not to be ,isap'

ing into the project, is desirous .of the
substantial assistance which the Beafd
Of Trade proposes to extend through the
generous Offices of the men who are. VIII
ing to subscribe. Without the fund, st
is not by any means unlikely that the
project will suffer for strong impetus
at the very outset and as result the
plans may not reach fruition in the
present year. Unofficially, it is an
nounced that the incorporators feel the
need of a boost in order that the site Of
the old City hotel may be purchased
and still have a balance out of the citi-
zens' fund to finance some of the incl
dental expenses incurred. So it will be
seen that the success of the hotel move
ment hinges good deal on the manner
in which the Board of Trade solicitors

siderable headway, but tomorrow is the
day fixed as a starter for the big move
ment All those who are known to have
interested themselves in new hotel to
the extent Of promising subscriptions
at one time or another may expect a
visit from the solicitors. As it is to be
desired that foundation work on the
building be started Mt once, subscribers
are asked to be prepared to make their
donations. Tho campaign committee
will make thorough canvass Of the
city and by Saturday night large sum
is expected to be in hand. Those who
have made up their mind how much they
are going to subscribe are requested to
be ready for the solicitors.

Vera Cruz People Are Said
to Favor Continued
Occupation
THEY ALSO BELIEVE
END OF HUERTA NEAR
And That He'd Welcome a
Chance to Retire With
out Loss of Dignity

Vera Cruz, May 1.-The Mexican res.
idents believe the end of the Huerta
government is only matter OF few
weeks at the most. They think Huerta
would welcome a development in the
situation, which would afford him an
opportunity to escape without the loss
of dignity.
If Huerta abdcates or is ousted by
Carranza and Villa, there is strong
belief here that the United States would
feel obliged to permit the constitution
alists to make every effort to re-estab-
lish government. The Mexican resi-
dents are hoping that the United States
will continue in possession Of Vera
Cruz.
