GENERAL FUNSTON
ANXIOUS To START
FOR MEXICO CITY
Federals Are Utilizing Their Time
by Throwing Up Breastworks,
Making Position Stronger

Washington, d. c., May 5.-Infor-
nation came from Vera Cruz to the
War Department to-day that the Mex
lean Federal troops have mined the
railroad tracks from Vera Cruz to
Mexico City in preparation for the ut
ter destruction of the road in the event
that the American forces attempt a
march on the capital.
No confirmation had been received
of reports that the San Francisco
bridge on the Interoceanic Railroad
had been damaged.
The mines are reported to be located
a half mile apart and Mexican soldiers
have been detailed to touch off the
fuses should hostilities eventuate.
These preparations and the throw
ing up of defenses which are daily
making the position of the Mexican
Federal troops stronger, are known to
be a source of worry to General Fun
ston, and it is understood that he
would welcome orders to start for
the Mexican capital at once.
Admiral Mayo at Tampico has in
formed the Navy Department that he
would have no trouble in taking Tam
pico with his present forces and 1t was
learned to-day that he has more than
once limited in his dispatches that it
would be advisable to take such action.
He has now under his command, in
addition to his flagship the Des
Moines two cruisers and a torpedo
boat fleet of nine.

facturer and Civil war veteran, was
murdered early to-day at his home in
the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn by
his son. Chester Duryea. Seven shots
were fired by the son into his fathers
body, causing instant death.
The murder occurred on the porch
at the rear of the Duryea home where
both father and son We're in the habit
of sleeping. About one o'clock this
morning Chester Duryea, who is as
years old, slipped from his cot into the
house where he kept a number of
rifles, revolvers and shot guns for
hunting purposes He selected an au-
tomato pistol and a magazine rifle,
both of which he loaded, and return

What is considered the first step on
the part of the city to require the
county authorities to pay for all the
water it uses in the Courthouse and
the Jail was taken this afternoon by
City Council, when a resolution was
introduced by superintendent II. f..
Bowman, Department of Public Safe
ty, requesting the County Commission
ers to PLACE all the Courthouse and
jail water mains on meter by July l or
risk having the supply turned off.
uperintendent Bowman said the
county is now getting the best of the
So-called "rent-and- -free-water" agree
ment by between ST. and $4,000.
In a letter accompanying the reso-
luton the correspondence between the
county and city authorities on the sub
iect dating back several years, was
submitted. The agreement in uues-
ton is said to have been an under
standing between the city and county
that the city furnish the county with
water in return for the use of the
offices in the Courthouse.
Several months ago, however, an
open split threatened when the county
insisted upon having the present Coun-
ell chamber for the use of the County
Controller. Mr.. Bowman since wrote
several letters asking the commission
tire amount used could be gauged by
the city. This the county authorities
have refused to do to date.
Superintendent Bowman said this
afternoon that he means to push the
matter to head and insist upon the
city getting a square deal. He agreed
to allow the matter to go over for a
week, however until the City Solicitor
could take up the problem.
In submitting the coal bids for filter
plant and pumping station, Mr.. Bow
man proved how successfully his
newly installed system OF firing at
these plants is saving money for the
city. Cheaper coal can be used and
the resultant saving to the city is
$3.50.
Commissioner Taylor will fix n time
for advertising for the new fire appa-
ratus bids as soon as the ordinance
passes.
