Only Meager Information.

Only meager information was obtain

corning the situation in and around Tor

Dispatches Significant.
Dispatches from Ell Paso, stating that
Constitutionalist Leader Gen. Venustiano
Carranza has written to DIR. Henry AL
Ian Tupper, commissioner of the inter
national peace forum. that he will be
glad to treat with foreign powers through
the United States, are OF particular sig
nificance at this time when representa-
tons are being made to the State De-
partment by the Spanish ambassador
here following word that Gen. Villa has
banished 600 Spaniards from Torreon.
This is taken to mean that Gen. Car
rama and the United States have come
or soon will come, to a complete under
standing regarding the interposition of
the Offices OF the United States in be-
half Of foreigners in Mexico who have no
consular representatives in the territory
occupied by the constitutionaiists.
At the time of William F. Benton's
death it was suggested that the United
States should demand explanation and
reparation. At that time Gen. Car
rama replied that he would treat only
with the authorized representative of
the government affected, which had

Senator Works Defends
Right to Exempt Ships

Senator Works of California, republican,
today defended the right of the United
States to exempt American coastwise YES
sells from the payment of tolls on passing
through the Panama canal In an ad-
dress TO the Senate Mr.. Works took the
ground that the controversy over the
tolls involves the integrity and honor Of
the nation; that politics and party plat
forms have no place in the discussion,
except as tending to show the good or
bad faith of the President and others
dealing with the question.
He insisted that nothing in the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty or in the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty, by any kind of construction.
can prevent the United States from ex-
empting its own ships engaged in the
coastw;se trade from the payment of
tolls through the canal.
Discussion of Treaties.
As basis for his argument. Senator
Works discussed IN detail the two treaties
with Great Britain on the subject of the
Panama canal
THE Clayton Bulwer treaty has no in
fuence whatever upon the question at
issue" said Senator Works. land the ap-
peal 10 lnat treaty pS proponents or the
repeal bill Is wholly unwarranted. The
general principle of neutrality. referred
70 in the Hay-Pauncefote treaty by ref
erence to the CLAYTON -Bulwer treaty does
not bring into the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
any of the provisions OF the prior treaty
y reference Our rights under the treaty
obligations between the two nations must
be controlled wholly and entirely by the
4ay-Pauncefote treaty and nothing else.
The granting OF the exemption Of our
ships from the payment of tolls is purely
a domestic matter. The canal is owned
by the United States and situated entire
ly within its territory. In that particular
it is a domestic canal and subject to the
same general rules and regulations and
should be governed by the same customs
that apply to the use of other canals and
waterways owned and maintained by the
government"
Senator Works said that some of the
cltizens OF this country have Out
Britished the British" in their claim for

The typhoid treatment requires
twenty days. 1t consists of three in
jectiOns from Il hypOdermic syringe
at intervals. When complete the per.
son operated on is said TO be immune
from typhoid fever for a period of
three years. As typhoid is one OF the
worst features the army has to deal
with in war, the government is re.
quiring that every man sent to the
front be made immune from the dis
ease first.
The action on the part Of the local
officers is due to Il request from the
government. It is said to be a pre-.
.cautionary measure in keeping with
the other steps taken by the war de.
