Militant Uses Hatchet on Guard.


A savage attack with a hatchet was
made by young and well gowned
suffragette on an attendant at the
Dore Gallery in London, who tried to
prevent her from destroying valuable
pictures on exhibition there.
The woman had already ruined two
paintings in the gallery, which is in
the heart of the fashionable quarter
of London, and was hacking a third
when an attendant named Bourlet
seized her arm.
The vandal turned on the man furi-
ously and rained a shower of blows on
his body, severely injuring him. Other
attendants overpowered her. The Wo'
man kicked, struggled and screamed
until she was turned over to the po-
lice.
A letter was left in the gallery by
the attendants asasilant, in which she
asserts that the militants heretofore
have been "too ladylike." She then
adds:
"To stop this you must give US JUS.
tice. We are willing to die for 1t be-
fore we give in. We have tried all 9TH
er ways. We have been too ladylike
in the past. Now we are going to fight
and you can allow us to be killed.
Others will arise to take our places.

BADGER HAS ORDERS TO ACT
Unconfirmed Rumor He Has Been

Unconfirmed Rumor He Has Been
Told to Capture Huerta Gunboats.
Naval afficials in Washington have
refused to discuss a report that orders
have been sent to Admiral Badger tc
instruct Admiral Mayo, at Tampico
to capture the two Mexican gunboats.
should an attempt be made to close
that port.
The report declares that such an
order has been issued, in an effort to
prevent a blockade of the Panucc
river.
From a high authority on the gen
eral staff of the army it was ascer
tanned that the navy department, upon
authority of the state department, has
instructed Admiral Badger to seize the
custom house at Tampico, if neces-
sary, to prevent the landing of the
cargo by the Antilla, carrying arms to
the rebels.
Navy department officials reiterated
statements that Tampico is an open
port, but at the same time it was
pointed out that this government
would not permit any interference
with commerce at Tampico by the
Mexican gunboats.

Carranza Delays Reply.

General Carranza, first chief" Of the
Mexican Constitutionalists, is holding
back his reply to the note of the "A
B. c." mediators regarding his resig
nation in the Niagara Falls peace pa
leys.
He is sparring for time to see thu
trend of events of the next few days
and also, it is said, believes his pos'.

reply till he has formally declare!
himself provisional president and sci
up his provisional government.
In preparation for this step, Carran'
"a has selected seven Of his cabinet
ministers.

Tampico an Open Port.

Grave possibilities, even to the
breaking off OF all mediation proceed
ings, were foreseen by officials in the
question OF maintaining Tampico as
an open port.
The complications caused by the
shipment of arms to the Constitution
alists and the fact that Carranza still
is an unknown quantity in the me la
ton equation, have put the MeXictn
situation in a worse muddle than c'cf
before, according to diplomats.
A belief that the government Is not
sincere in it's endeavor to sett.e TIA
Mexican question by mediation Gas
gained some ground in the last tWA
days. It is asserted in some quartc-a
that the administration must prevent
the landing of arms shipped from
American ports to the Constitutional
lists to retain the confidence Of the me-
diators. But, according to an authority
on international law, the fact that the
cargoes have been cleared from this
country restrains the government from
interfering with the landing of the
arms.
This is understood to be the reason
for Secretary of State Bryan's report
ed statement that it was "bad mis-
take" to permit the cargoes to leave
the United States.
Secretary Bryan reiterated THAI
Tampico still is held as an open port
notwithstanding that several ships are
on the way there with arms for the
Constitutionalists.
"Will it continue to be an open port
when ammunition reaches there" he
was asked.
81 can only talk Of the present, leaV.
ing the future to those who would
speculate" returned the secretary.
Officials of the state and navy de.
partments were busy with plans for
meeting whatever emergencies might
arise at Tampico. The Huerta gun
boats Bravo and Zaragoza, at Puerto
Mexico, and the Progresso, at AlVa-
rado, have not yet moved. They are
closely watched by United States war:
ships, and will be followed by them
wherever they go.
The situation was further complicat-
ed by the intimation that the agree.
ment with Great Britain and Holland
that Tampico would be maintained as
an open port, might force the United
States to take action, even If this led
to hostilities.

Palace Attendants Have Taken Pre-
cautions to Prevent Further Dlsor'

Miss Mary Bloomfield, daughter OF
Lady Sara Louisa Bloomfield, widow OF
Sir Arthur Bloomfield, the famous ar
chitect, was the suifragette who Gre
ated the sensational scene at Buck
ingham Palace in London when she
threw herself on her knees before
King George and Queen Mary.
Miss Bloomfield alone was concerned
in the incident, although her sister,
who also attended the court, was re-
quested to leave the palace after the
occurrance. despite the fact that she
took no part in the demonstration. She
left without protest.
Officials of the palace were on the
verge of nervous prostration as the
result of the scene, and the lord cham
berlain's department has taken every
precaution to circumvent any attempt
to repeat the performance when an
other function takes place at Buck1ng-
ham Palace.
Persons in the immediate vicinity
at the time say that the whole scene
lasted less than ten seconds and that
the woman had only time to ejacu-
late audibly, "Your majesties! For
Gods sake" when she was seized
and hustled out of the throne room,
finishing the sentence by saying,
don't use force" as she went.
King George was the coolest man
in the company and the presentations
proceeded after the incident with
clockwork regularity.

The sisters obtained admission to

partment.
John e. Redmond, leader of the
Irish Nationalists, declined request
by Irish suffragettes that he receive
deputation to discuss the inclusion OF
women as electors for the Irish parlia-
ment. Mr.. Redmond pointed out that
previous deputations of this nature
had caused only unpleasantness and
reiterated the view that Ireland, un.
der home rule, must decide whether
she wants woman voters.
In consequence of suffrasette at
tacks, churches in many parts of the
country are being closed except for
the usual Sunday services. Following
is a sample Of the notices posted BY
the rectors:
Owing to dastardly outrages bj
frenzied criminals, who have nc re-
gard for God or man, this church will
be closed except during the hours Of
divine service"
The Earl of Lytton replies to a
church newspaper which appealed to
the suffragettes for a truce of God"
as follows:
"There is only one way in which
this deplorable movement can be end
ed, and that is by the introduction
by the government of a woman's suf'
frage bill. On all matters connected
with their policy the women are abso-
lutely deaf to suggestions or advice"
