Wagner sprang to the rescue OF the
men and women, shouting warning

He turned in call for an ambulance

One little girl. frightened by the
shouts, started to run across the road

London, May 24-The suffragists

The airship returned to Vera cruz,
and Belinger reported to the COM
mander of the marine brigade the
presence of Federals on the coast, and
was informed that Captain Hill, from
the pumping station, had reported the
firing on the airship. In order TO fol-
low further the movements of the Fed
eral cavalry the airship returned To
Punta Gorda, keeping out of range at
5000 feet.
In this second fight Bellinger tells
me he located the cavalry in troop for
nation in a clearing. and closer 10 our
lines a smaller body of infantry. This
time as the aviators passed over the
infantry both Captain Hill and the
officer at Vergara heard three rifle
shots fired from directly below them.
AS no state of war exists the aviators
have received no orders restricting
their movements. They are in uni
form and the airship always flies two
American flags.
In contrast with the attempt 10 de-
stroy the airship is the case of Alberto
Ocano, an officer of artillery in the
Federal army, found yesterday in the
city. He stated that in view OF peace
existing he had the right to be here and
10 protection from the American forces.
When asked to explain why he was
out OF uniform. he said if he had worn
it he would have been mobbed by rebel
sympathizers. Nothing was done TO
him.
| am told Ocano is only one OF half
dozen Federal officers now in the city.
Their presence is known 10 the Ameri-
can authorities and the reason for their
being inside the American lines is OBJ
Vious, but as no war exists they cam
not be treated as spies.
Belinger is the aviator with whom /
made an ascension yesterday, and, as
stated, is one Of the most popular
youths i'm the navy. Had he been hit
this morning. the difficulty OF explain
ing that the Mexicans are not at war
with the United States would have
been greatly increased.

might cause embarrassment, because
he was one of the foremost fighters

The colonel made no answer. He
was then asked if he was seriously

a Brooklyn newspaper stated this.

colonel in a real old Rooseveltian mood.
With a show of feeling he said:

The colonel then directed the atten-
ton Of his callers TO the fact that twice
before he had denied any intention Of
