Mexicans Are Routed.

Eagle Pass, Tex, April 23.-After destroying machinery in railroad shops, blowing up railroad switches and removing instruments from the telegraph office in Piedras Negras, Mexico, opposite this place, early to- day, a party of Mexican federals was prevented from blowing up the Mex tcan end of the international bridge when the American border patrol ar- rived.
 Four Mexican troop trains and ono train loaded with horses and ammu- milton are said to have left Chihua- hua last night for Juarez, across the river from here. The forces, 1t is said, are commanded by General Tor ibio Ortega. The news was tele- phoned to Colonel Hatfield, com- manding at Fort Bliss and he has sent the information with a request for instructions to the war depart ment.
 At Juarez every effort was made to conceal news of the trains. The bare facts as given, however, were coaxed from an apparently authentic source.
 Col. Hatfield received orders to re- store the embargo on arms and am- 1t was put into effect by Zach l.. Cobb, collector of the port.
 British subjects in Mexico were warned today to leave immediately, The warning came from the British ambassador, Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, at Washington, to H. c. Myles, Brit ish consul here, who at once wired to consuls in Mexico. About seven hun dred Britons are in Mexico.

 College Is Target.
 The tackles in front held their places, however, and the Prairie sent shell after shell from her three inch battery into the windows of the col lege, huge columns of red dust leap ing upward as each shot went home. The Chester also joined in and with a roar her six inch shells tore great gaps in the roof of the college.
 After fifteen minutes of firing the Prairie and San Francisco ceased and the column of jackies formed again and pushed sturdily ahead, deploy- ing around the front of the college. A few shots were directed at them, but none came from the college. The Chester continued hurling shells into any building where snipers lurked and also far out into the suburbs.
 The tackles went steadily ahead without faltering, spreading out through the water front sections, seiz- ing the highest buildings and organ izing squads of guards at street in tersections.
 Firing Dies Out.
 The fire along the front gradually slackened and then died out. but the hills before ceasing. The Hancock, 0Uif h11nd board. and the battleship Michigan arrived too late to participate in the fighting.

KERNANS, COUSINS,
BATTLE TO ADRAW

The fact that South Orange Village
voters select their local officials in the
spring failed to dampen the spirit of
the primaries yesterday. To the con-
trary, never in the history of the mu-
nicipality has there been a more bit
terly and closely contested battle of
ballots than was decided at the polls
there yesterday.
Democratic candidates for places on
the county committee furnished the
excitement, and not until the last bal
lot was counted in one district was
the result of hard fought campaign
known, while in another instance two
cousins opposing each other received
the same number of votes.
The greatest struggle was between
former Village Trustee John P. Ker-
nan. of Walton road, and his cousin,
William Herman, of Valley street.
After working ardently among their
friends all day, each claimed victory
when the polls had closed. The rally,
however. showed that neither has
any more friends than the other, each
getting thirty-six votes. Both of the
candidates are members of the Demo-
cratic organization.

Big Surprise to Pol

Judge Worral f. Mountain, of the
East Orange District Court, yester-
day obtained the Republican nomi-
nation for mayor of that city, de-
feating former County Clerk John
Il Woolston by a majority of eighty
votes. His total vote was 1888. Sup
ported by an organization that was
complete in every particular, Mr..
Woolston was thought by many to
have had the fight practically won
when the polls opened in the morn
ing, even though his hackers ac-
knowledged the contest undoubtedly
would be closer than had been an
ticipated.
Few doubt but that the jurist will
be the next occupant of the city S
executive chair. His opponents at
the November election will be Harry
M. Friend, Democrat, and Henry Gill
bertson, Progressive, who landed the
nominations of their respective par
ties by comfortable margins.

elected this form Of air service and
in that respect Great Britain has a
slight superiority.
The chief role Of aircraft in war. 1t
is believed, will be for scouting pur-
poses. Their first duty will be to
bring quick and accurate knowledge
Of the movements Of the enemy's
troops. This work will extend over
vast aeras and will require machines
with great endurance.
Many people believe that the air
craft will be used as attacking ma
chines-that they will drop bombs
from the heavens on fortresses and
ships and that the loss of life will be
enormous. The aircraft's value in
this regard has yet to be shown.
There likely will be many battles in
the air, between aviators. They are
almost sure to be- deadly.
