anXiously awaited

some of them, particularly those with
families in the capital, had already

TO withdraw from Mexico if it seemed
advisable to do so. No word from
them has come to the Foreign Mis-
sion Board offices, but it is be ieved
that the dozen or so representatives
of the church have already started for
Vera Cruz.

slons has only two members in
Mexico, one in Mexico City and the
other at Pueblo. There are also four

Daniels Sends Letters to
Kin of Vera Cruz Heroes

WASHINGTON, April 23.-This is
the letter that Secretary Daniels
wrote yesterday to the next of kin of
killed at Vera Cruz:
This mornings dispatches from
Vera Cruz, conveying the distressing
news that your son was in the first
line to give his life for his country,
saddens all America as the tragedy
brings gloom into your home.
My feeling and the feeling of the
President to you in this sad hour was
expressed by President Lincoln, when,
on November 81, 1864. he wrote to
Mrs. Bixby, of Boston, whose five
sons gave their lives fighting under
the American flag:
az feel how weak and fruitless
must be any words of mine which
should attempt to beguile you from
loss so overwhelming. But l cannot
refrain from rendering to you the
consolation that may be found in the
thanks of the republic they died to
save. / pray that our Heavenly
Father may assuage the anguish OF
your bereavement and leave you only
the cherished memory of the loved
and lost and the solemn pride that
must be yours to have laid so costly
a sacrifice upon the altar of free
DOM"

Lind Declares Huerta's
Men Are Assassins; Best
Troops Died at TOrreOn

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The bat
tie cry will not be ION to Mexico
City," according to John Lind, who
was special representative of the
President in Mexico until recently.
Mr.. Lind is supposed to be familiar
with the situation and the plans.
Now that Rear-Admiral Badger
has arrived in Mexican waters with
his fleet" he was asked, will IL not
be advisable, under the circum-
stances, to rush the army from
Galveston to Vera Cruz and proceed
directly to Mexico City, and take pos
session before Huerta can arrange for
a stubborn defense of his capital?"
mo, that is not the present inten-
tion," replied Mr.. Lind. LAS we are
now in possession of Vera Cruz, the
next step will be to clean up Tam
pico. Then we should retain possess
sion. of both cities, and also blockade
all the remaining ports in Mexico. |
do not anticipate any more fighting,
as Huerta will have all he can do to
contend with the advancing forces of
the victorious revolutionists."
Has Huerta an effective army?'
mo, the pick of his forces were
sent north, where they We're annihi-
lated In and around Iorreon. All he
has left is some bands of hired assas-
sins"
What is your opinion of the Skin
mish at Vera Cruz yesterday"
1T turned out just as l anticipated.
When called upon to surrender. Gen
eral Mas retreated from Vera Cruz
with the bulk of his command. Those
eft behind were disorganized. and
consisted mainly of roughnecks and
assassins. These men concealed them
selves on the fiat roofs of the build
ings and picked off our men from con-
cealment. All the buildings have flat
roofs and copings, the latter afford
ing considerable protection to the
Mex'canS.
I'VE have no quarrel with the revo-
Iutionists, therefore while Huerta Is
blocked away from supplies the revo-
lutionists will push forward steadily
and irresistibly. The end should not
be far off, so far as Huerta Is con-
cerned."

Strike and Fire Cause
Demonstration at Sing Sing

OSSINING, n. Y, April 23.-Fire,
supposed to be of incendiary origin,
broke out early this morning in the
enamelling shop of Sing Sing prison,
q one and a half story frame strue-
ture, with corrugated iron covering,
some distance from the main prison
building. The village fire department
was summoned to aid the prison force
in fighting the blaze, which was con-
fined to the structure of its origin,
The loss will not be heavy.
AT noon yesterday, 1870 men who
-were working in the knitting shop, a
building near the one burned this
morning, went on strike. Their action
is supposed to have been caused by
the refusal of Governor Glynn to sign
the one-year parole bill, allowing a
prisoner to make application for pa
role after he had been one year in
prison. Last night the prisoners went
to their cells quietly, but when the
fire broke out after midnight they be-
gan a noisy demonstration.

CANAL IS FOR OUR
DEFENSE--FORAKER
Former U. S. Senator Recites
Views of Trainers of Hay
Pauncefote-Treaty.

WASHINGTON. April 2s.-"we
built the Panama Canal on American
soil for American defense" declared
former Senator Joseph B. Foraker
OF Ohio. to the Senate Canal Com
mites Yesterday
Mr. Foraker was a member of the
Foreign Relations Committee that re-
ported the Hay Pauncefote Treaty to
the Senate, and was competent to
testify what was in the minds of the
Sen tors when it was under consid-
GRAFTON.
He declared, in response to ques-
lions, that IL never occurred to him
or any of his associates that this
country would not have an unre-
stricted right to use the canal as it
pleased, for not only its war, but its
vessels of commerce.
No Co-Partnership Plan.
The primary purpose of this can
al, said Senator Foraker, was not
commercial. No one stopped to con-
slider the cost. We wanted free
hand without partnership. The
cmmittee was all of one mind re-
speeding the treaty. We thought we
had right to do with it as we
pleased The Hay Pauncefote treaty
wos an endeavor to cut loose from
all entanglements and to build the
canal for national defense. with COM
mercial purposes secondary"
In the understanding of the men
who actually guided the Hay
Pauneefote treaty through the Sem
ate Mr.. Foraker said the United
States was not included in the "all
nations clause.
The senator said he had frequent
COnfprPnppS IN tho e,.hJ Nth
retary Hay. and believed he knew
what was in the mind of the man
who really negotiated the treaty. 1t
was first intended, when the conven-
ton reached the Senate. Mr.. Foraker
said, that the Clayton Bulwer treaty
should be abrogated, but the word
superseded" was used because it
was softer"
Treaty Was Not in Force.
The Senate at that time, he said,
relt that the Clyaton- Bulwer treaty
was only technically in force, as it
nolonger applied to conditions under
which it was intended a canal should
be built, and that it would have been
easy to dispose of the CLAYTON Bull
Wer treaty merely by notifying Great
britain i our intention to abrogate
It. This summary action, he ex-
piained, was not taken because Of our
very friendly position with Great
Britain, Immediately following the
close of the Spanish war
When Senator Brandegee asked
what inducements England had to
give up her rights to equal treatment
with the United States in an Isthmian |
canal Senator Foraker quickly re- |
piled:
She secured the right to have her |
shipping pass through the canal with !
out the canal costing her anything, |
she assumer no responsibility for the |
cefense nor its repair. If an earth |
quake We're to destroy the canal Great |
britain would not be called upon to |
