BILE. So many real and imaginary
tango steps arc IN use that 1t is

Z with a partner with whom no pre-.

has initiated to some extent against

- 1t Is realized that absolute accord
on this subject is impracticable.
Dancing masters have individual
ideas on the subject and will be slow
to abandon them. Nevertheless, the
waltz tango has been suggested as u
standardized tango and Is meeting
with good deal of favor in public
and private bathrooms. This is how
its seven figures are done.
The first is "the walk" This is
a plain one-step walk, the gentle

sa the present conflict has been
{ strikingly illustrated by the great
French sculptor August Rodin. :.
He has presented to the British
nation twenty of his finest pieces
of sculpture as mark of his graft
tude for the help that England has
given to France.
This splendid collection OF statu-
airy is estimated to be worth In
marble, bronze, material and work
manship alone about 100000. When
the labor Of the artist, the most dis
J ltinguished sculptor of the day, Is
added, their value reaches an enor-
NOUS figure that would probably
! place them beyond the purchasing
power of any private collector, now
that Pierpont Morgan is gone.
~. That an artist who began life as
/. q half-starved workman and has only
I, achieved comparative affiuence in
his old age should make such a
princely gift Is fact worthy OF
general attention.
rs Rodin, being too old to fight at
seyenty-three, does the best he can
Tor his country by giving away his
work. 1t is hoped that the million
aires Of France and England, stirred
z by his example, will behave with
equal generosity to their countries.
I. In presenting the collection to the
british, Rodin said:
z 1.-THE English and French are
!. .brothers. Your soldiers are fighting
side by side with ours. Asa little
token Of my admiration for !. your
heroes / decided to present the col.

WHO'LL RANGE or

Sam and Huerta.
az A.,eelA1rn rnr,n

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The text Of
the Mexican mediators' telegram to
General Carranza eliminating him
from the mediation proceedings which
became known today, disclosed for
the first time that the mediators held
that "all the difficulties which con-
tributed toward the present situation
in Mexico bear either directly or in
directly on the solution of the pending
conflict between Mexico and the Unit
ted States
The mediators declare in their ans
wer that all these differences SHOULD
be made the subject of consideration
in the negotiations" for whose sue
cessful conduct I'VE have deemed it
indispensable to suspend hostilities.' .
Should Carranza not deem It so the
mediators state they will be com
PEELED to Withdraw as inopportune
the appointment OF ConstitutSonalist
representative.
This message from the mediators
gives the first authoritative expression
that they considered the whole range
OF Mexican difficulties including the
Huerta-Carranza issue as having a
bearing on the issue between the Uni
ted States and Huerta.

ton came from Vera Cruz to the war
Department, today that the Mexican
federal troops have mined the'railroad
track from Vera Cruz to Mexico City
in preparation for the utter destruc-
ton OF the road in the event that the
American forces attempt to 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 eYentuate. These prepara-
tons and the throwing 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 Funston and 1t is under
stood 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 today that he has more than
once limited in his dispatches that it
would be advisable to take such ac-
tion.
Over night advices to the war de-
partment from Vera Cruz were sum

Garrison today:
The latest message received from
General Funston came during the
night. In 1t he reports no change in
conditions. He visited the TEAR
