HOW PHOENIX
 RECEIVED NEWS FROM THEFRONT
Crowds Assemble Around Bulletin Boards, and Elm ployes of Republican Kept Busy Answering Cues tions from Phone

The news of the attack on Vera Cruz and the loss suffered by the American forces was received in Phoenix with the greatest interest. All day long ana away into the night the employees of The Repub lican were kept busy answering questions made by callers at the offices or telephone calls
 Early in the day bulletin was placed in the west window of the of flee of Dwight B. Heard at the corner of Adams street and Center, and crowds assembled around it to receive the latest news of the dis turbance
 Many ventured opinions that the Americans had sold their lives dearly in the attack of the MeXicans upon the handling party. and when the news arrived late in the night that 200 MeXicans had been killed in the fight. there were any number of '1 told you sos" heard on the streets
 Interest in the condition of the border was also high, especially among those who have interests in the border towns. These kept phon i ing and asking questions as to what had occurred and if the constitution alists were going to take sides with the Huerta forces.

action we will take tonight and when they turn back the page to find why their fathers died, are they to find that it was about the number of guns or the form of a salute?
 'Is there no justification that we can lay before the world before the judg- ment seat of history except dispute about a number of guns?"
 But. sir, that is not all. If it had been all. the President would not have come to Congress yesterday. Back of -this incident, back of the special cir cumstances of the resolution, as re- ported by the committee, there is a great array of fact"
 There is the matter of justificatio And the Senator from Massachusetts sought to lay it before the Senate in his subject for preamble for the resolu- ton.
 l "Lying behind the insult to the Am erican flag are the lives of Americans destroyed. Americans reduced to pow erty because of the destruction of their property. Lying behind it is a condi- tion of anarchy in Mexico. a condition
 which makes it impossible to procure protection for American life and prop l.erty. Lying back of this incident is a condition of things in Mexico which prevents the protection of Amercan I lives and property. except through re- spect for the American flag and the i, American government. It is that which 1 makes it necessary to demand that public respect be paid to the flag of i the United States.
 "There is our justification It is jus tification lying not in Victorano Huerta
 or in his conduct alone. but in the uni

ROOSEVELT'S
 RIDERS MAY
 CHARGE AGAIN
George P. Wilcox Thinks the Colonel Would Lead His Old Boys Once More if Real War Comes With Mexico

Should the present disturbance in Mexico develop into a real honest , to- goodness War. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt will again be at the head of a body of rough riders. in the opinion of George P. Wilcox, who served with Roosevelt ill Cuba and took part in other campaigns Roosevelt told us after the trou- ble in Cuba was oyer,' said MT Will cox yesterday. that in case the United States ever got into another war, he wanted to go to the front with the rough riders again. Should the situation in Mexico become reat serious l think the colonel would go out at the head of four or more regiments
 MT Wilcox commanded a troop un- der Roosevelt in Cuba and he prob ably would be at the head of one of the Roosevelt regiments if the former president again organized his famous mounted soldiers. That MT Wilcox proposes to be prepared with an or ganization of Arizona and New Mex ico rough riders if their services in Mexico are wanted, is shown by the i following letter. which MT. Wilcox dispatched yesterday to Lindley NJ , Garrison, secretary of war:

 T will undertake to muster in and command a regiment of volunteer cavalry, made up of the same kind of men, and just as efficient as was the Roosevelt Rough Riders.
