Mexican Revolt

Twenty-eight hundred Mexican fed
eral soldiers, six Mexican generals and
1,500 civilian refugees are in the GUS
tody OF the United States army border
patrol at Preside, Tex, as the result
of the federal army's evacuation of
Ojnaga, Mex, and the occupation of
the village by Gen. Francisco Villas
rebel forces. One hundred and fifty
prisoners were executed by Villas
men.
A plot to kidnap American Uharge
O'Shaughnessy and his wife by holding
up train was behind an attack by
rebels on the Mexican railway, said
federal officer at Mexico City. In
formation obtained by federal spies
from rebels along the railway enabled
the O'Shaughnessys to escape running
into the danger.
The Japanese have landed an armed
force from their battle cruiser Idzu-
ma for the protection of the mikado's
legation at Mexico City. Washington
has been advised of the step by
Charge d'Affaires O'Shaughnessy
Four hundred marines, now sta
toned on the Isthmus of Panama, were
ordered to the east coast of Mexico.
The announcement of this doubling of
the force of marines strengthened the
growing impression that the admins
tration at Washington is preparing to
adopt a practical policy to take the
place of the present attitude of wait
ing for Huerta to yield.
Hell will hold both Woodrow Viii
son and myself before / resign" said
President Huerta to an American who
called on him at the palace in the City
| of Mexico. The time has gone past
when I will give the slightest consid-
Grafton to any proposition that

Toxic, Jan. Is. "A tidal wave has
added its terrors to the earthquake
and volcanic eruptions which struck
Kagoshima, in southern Japan, accord
ing to official advices.
1t is believed here that the Kago-
shima disaster will prove to be one OF
the most serious in the history of Ja-
pan. The loss of life and property in
creases with fuller news from the
scene.
Stricken District Isolated.
The full extent of the disaster can
not be ascertained as all communica-
tion has been cut off from the stricken
district, south of Kumamato, eighty
or ninety miles north of Kagoshima.
Ashes to the depth of six inches have
fallen in the seaport of Miyazaki on
the east coast of Kiushiu.
A postal employee who fled from
Kagoshima states that the big post
Office building there collapsed and that
hundreds of residences were ruined,
while many people and animals were
kilied or injured.
Fragmentary Dispatches.
Fragmentary dispatches that come
in over a telegraph and telephone
service that has been destroyed at
several points, indicate there has been
heavy loss of life in Kagoshima and
it's vicinity and it is feared that this
deadly work continues and will take
larger range when advices are COM
plete. The city is the center of large
pottery and porcelain industry which
employs thousands of artizans and Ia
borers of both sexes.
The heavy ash fall extends far to
the north and had already enveloped
the important cities of Nagasaki and
Kumamoto, as we'll as many small
cities and towns.
Views of Scientists.
Of these Nagasaki alone has any
large foreign population. There are
about 200 Europeans and Americans
in Nagasaki, with British in the larger
number. They have had ample oppor-
tunity to escape to sea if a serious
condition cOnfronts the city.
Local scientists do not expect that
there will be much loss of life from
the constant earthquakes, because the
buildings are all of light material and
low, but they do fear that thousands
| will be overwhelmed at Kagoshima
and surrounding towns. The railways
are cut, escape by sea is open only to
limited numbers and blind flight upon
foot is the one recourse for the great
bulk of the population.
Has Been Long Quiescent.
Sakura Jima, which is in violent
eruption, and is destroying life and
devasting property over extended
areas in Kiushiu, southernmost island
of the main Japanese group, has been
1uiescent for more than a century, al.
though it rears it's cratered peak in
veritable land of volcanoes.
Sakura Jima occupies almost the ex.
act center of a small round island in
the Gulf of Kagoshima, directly in
front of the city of Kagoshima, capital
of the province of Satsuma. It is A..
600 feet high and, before the presest
eruption, had two craters.
Country Heavily Populated.
The surrounding coasts and the
country in several directions are heav
lily populated and the number of the
danger zone is hundreds of thousands
The chief city in danger is Kagoshima
which lies almost in the shadow of the
volcano and is separated from 1t by a
narrow strait.
