MEXICO'S BIG CLAIMS.
WAR MINISTER SAYS HE CAN
RAISE ARMY OF MORE THAN
a MILLION.
This Great Force Banquet Says Will
BE Used Exclusively to Rcpcl For
cign InvaSiOn-IIUcrta Counts OH
All Mcxicans Rallying to His Sup
pCrt.

Mexico City, April 23.-According
to figures compiled by Minister Of
War Banquet and made public to-
day, the claim is made that Mexico
can muster an army, Ito be used eX-
clusively to repel invasion by a for
eign enemy" Of one million and forty
four thousand men. This force, Gen.
Banquet says, will be made up of the
federal army, now numbering $4,000,
the cOnstitutionalist army, number
ing $4,000, the Zapata rebel force
numbering 10000, and 100000 volun-
teers. He says that the navy consists
Of six gunboats, two corvettes and one
transport.
The Huerta party in this city counts
confidently on all Mexican factions
burying their differences and rallying
to the support of Gen. Huerta, in re-
sisting the occupation of Mexican ter
ritOry by the United States. They
claim that the seizure of Vera Cruz
has united the Mexicans to a man.
that the acts of the United States con-
stitute a declaration OF war on Mex
leo and that they will resist to the
bitter end what they regard as a war
of conquest, undertaken by the United
States.

BIG INCREASE IN ASSESSMENTS
$312,64O Added to Sumter Township

What, will come as a big surprise

Sumter Township Board has added,
by increasing the assessments Of the
property, $312,640 in Sumter town.
ship. This large increase in valua-
ton placed upon the county tax books
was announced by the auditor on
Wednesday, subsequent to the COM
pletion Of their work on the returns
by the township board OF assessors.
The larger part Of this increase
has been made on the business prop
crty of Main and Liberty Streets. In
fact about ninety per cent of the in
crease was that on the business prop
erty of the city of Sumter. This is
the largest increase by the township
board in the history of the county
andw it is probable that there will be
a good deal of kicking at it, although
all parties owning property in the
business section of town were treated
alike.
The township boards in the rural
sections have not yet returned their
lists Of assessments to the auditor and
meeting of the county board of as
SCISSORS will not be held until all of
these are in. 1t is probable that the
increase on property will also be large

Vera Cruz $50 A. Nj. April "a
This city is quiet early this morning.
Rifle shots were heard occasionally
during the night, but no sharp fighting
occurred. Gen. Mas and most of his
soldiers have disappeared and it is
reported that they fled to Soledad, a
railroad junction northwest of here.
The Americans are maintaining pos
session of the custom house and city
without taking further action. Fire
only when fired upon" is their or
dcrs. Admiral Badger, with the
squad Of dreadnaughts arrived early
this morning. Fifteen thousand ma
r:ncs and sailors are now here. It is
not believed there will be any more
fighting at Vera Cruz. A train bearing
three hundred Americans from the in
terror has been cut off and there is
great anxiety for their safety. The
best estimate is that two hundred
Mexicans were killed and wounded in
yesterdays fighting.
Nearly all business has been sus-
pended here. The sight of the huge
dreadnaughts in the harbor has
brought feeling of safety to the
American refugees. The Americans
killed yesterday were: Daniel Hag-
gerty, sailor, of Massachusetts,; ]. p.
Poinsett, sailor. of Philadelphia; John
Shoemaker Coxswain, Of Brooklyn;
). Martin, private Of the marines.
Fourteen were badly and six slightly
wounded.
1T is now belize d that the Mexi-
can dead will not reach one hundred
and nifty. Many of these wore civilian
clothes.
Gen. Mas fed in the middle of the
afternoon when the battle became
brisk.
The marines were today ordered to
shoot looters on sight"
The dead bodies of Mexicans killed
yesterday were- buried during tho
night. The wounded have been treat.
ed by the medical stafi of the United
states ships.
The steel jacketed projectiles from
the Prairie ripped great gaps in num-
Der of the buildings, where the Mexi-
cans were gathered, and firing on the
