situation. Secretary Tumulty is said to
have invited him 10 unburden himself

"If there is criticism OF the government

SENT TO RESCUE AMERICAN
James Skousen, However,
Thought Killed by Bandits.


FL Paso, Tex, May 19.-The belief Is
general that James Skousen. the Amer
lean colonist who was captured by
Mexican bandits at Colonia, Juarez'
has been put to death.
Colonel Tomas Ornelas, commander
OF the Juarez garrison, to-day ordered
rebel troops from the Casas Grandes
garrison to go to the rescue of Skou-
sen. but It is feared they will be UNI
able to overtake the bandits in time 10
save the American.
The bandits are known to be OF the
Quevedo brothers band. but 1t Is also
learned here to-day that at least six
bandit forces are operating In western
chihuahua and that all are seeking
Americans and American property. The
bandits are incensed over the hanging
of Meximo Castillo. whose band
wrecked the Cumbre tunnel and caused
the deaths OF dozen or more Ameri-
cans.

OF Vera Cruz Is limited. For women 1t
appears to be leaning over balcony
or attending mass. For the men 1t Is
sitting on the sidewalk slipping fruit
syrups.
The life of the invaders is hardly
more exciting. The officers Of the army
and navy have duties here as any
where else. 1t is seldom one sees them
idle. They keep TO the ship or to the
barracks, and only at night, when the
regimental band plays in the plaza, will
you meet an officer Of field rank. and
the officers Of higher rank Of the navy
seem never to leave their ships.
But of juniors there are enough to
crowd all the tables, and Of bluejackets
and soldiers on leave there are thou
sands. At q o'clock the liberty men
begin to swarm the city Their clean
white duck give the hot streets holi-
day air. They crowd the markets, the
cafes, the cantinas and plazas in col
umns of four. They barricade the mar
row sidewalks.
Where their money comes from Is
constant wonder. They always are

something preference, watermel-
ons. pineapples and postcards. In
every other way they are making the
territory captured rich. II Tampico
knew Of the silver shower falling into
the lap OF Vera Cruz she also would
demand to be bombarded. For these
young men, clear eyed, clean limbed,
with skins baked by the sun and
roughened by the winds, nothing seems
too good. They scorn to black their
own shoes, scorn to shave themselves,
scorn the ships rations and order beef
steaks at the Diligencia. They scorn
to walk, and drive in cabs or hire
bicycles by the hour.
The enlisted man, in comparison, is
like an elder brother. He is more
sedate, serious, responsible. He takes
his pleasures sadly. AS he Is on shore
all the time he has come to know the
natives near his quarters, and you will
see him sitting In a doorway, talking

the almshouse and for themselves the conditions
there.
The Common Council has provided for new
almshouse in which the citys paupers have bet

necesstated by the unsuitabeness of the site
the ancient character of the building The site
was selected many years ago and the building was
erected then. There were periods of mismanagement
and neglect but of late years there has been humane
care of the inmates, and 1t was left to Democratic
control of the Common Council to make the change
to be effected

be any change As 1t is, the institution Is legacy
from the past, as the wooden barracks Camden

cities, have always been favorable to Newarks.
