MENT OF GUILTY PERSONS.
Tense Situation Relieved on Announce
ment OF a Full Inquiry and Repara-
tiOn-Rear Admiral Mayo Demands
Mexican Salute of American Flag as
EXpiatiOn of AffrOnt.

Washington, April 1.-THE tense
situation created here by the arrest
Of American marines by Mexican au-
thorities at Tampco was greatly re-
lieved today with the receipt Of Gen.
Huerta's prompt reputation and
apology for the action forwarded
from Mexico City by Charge
O'Shaughnessy. While nc definite
statement was obtainable in official
circles, it was intimated that the nee
essary redress for the affront had
been afforded
Reporting developments to the
navy department, Rear Admiral
Mayo, in command of the American
naval force at Tampico, cabled that
he demanded that the Mexican COM
mander salute the American flag in
expiation Of the affront. In his mes
sage he had given the Mexican Off
Ger "a hours from o'clock Friday
evening TO comply. No further mes
sage had come from Admiral Mayo
when the department. closed tonight.
Admiral Mayos report was for
warded to President Wilson at White
Sulphur Springs, w. Va.
officials at the state and navy de-
partments considered Huertas state
inent full and frank. 1t promised an
immediate investigation of Col
Itinojo's action in arresting the
marines and parading them publicly
through the streets and that proper
punishment would be inflicted upon
the responsible official.
Gen. Huerta's good faith was ac-
cepted apparently without reserva-
ton, and it was pointed out that it
was but fair to await the result of
the promised investigation.
The navy department, it was said,
has issued no instructions to Roar
Admiral Mayo directing either the
withdrawal or enforcement Of his de-
mand for salute. Officials here IRE
disposed to rely on that officers dis
cretiOn and are certain he has been
informed Of the unqualified terms of
Gen. Huerta's explanation. Some
doubt was expressed as to whether
the salute could be demanded for
what was termed an irresponsible
act by subordinate officer especial
ly in view Of the prompt apology from,
Huerta.

Juarez, Mexico. April 1O.-San
Pedro, 40 miles northeast of TOrreon,
was evacuated by the federals in the
face Of superior numbers today, ac-
cOrding to a report from Gen. Villa
to Gen. Carranza.
Eight days ago Gen. Ortega with
only a brigade attacked the towr,
which lies on a plain and offers no
cover. The command found the fed
erals Unexpectedly strong and last
Tuesday retreated to await reinforce
ments These had come up today
and an enveloping movement was be-
gun. Detecting this the federals for
look the city.
No advices were available as to the
whereabouts of Gen. VelascO, who
evacuated Torreon eight days ago
but rebels believed he had not joined
another force of federals, said to be
under Gen. Hidalgo in Saltillo. Ref
ugees from Torreon brought word
yesterday that the junction had been
formed. giving Velasco a combined
force OF about 10000 men.
UncOnfrmed rumors were afloat to-
day that Tampico had fallen.
Gen. Carranza, who announced his
intention Of departing for chihuahua
tomorrow, said he expected to stay
there only q few days before going tC
Torreon to establish new headquar-
| ters there.
Another report said q rebel de-
tachment from the brigade of Gen
Gutierrez met a detachment Of fed
erals at Masmesa. short distance

TO REOPEN RATE QUESTION.
Matter Will bc Taken up Anew In
Hearings This Month.

Washington, April 11.-When the
Interstate commerce commission,
through Special Examiner Smith,
takes testimony at Columbia on April
81. In the case Of the Columbia Cham
Der of Commerce against the Southern
railway, as announced here today, the
entire question Of whether or not
freight rates to Columbia as compared
with rates to Augusta and other
nearby cities are fair and equitable
will be opened up anew.
The story OF how the Chamber of
Commerce Of Columbia has fought to
secure fair rates for Columbia is not a
new one.
Repeated efforts were made by
Messrs. Benet. Herbert and Monteith
of that city to secure what they
should have.
The case came to the interstate
commerce commission and after argu-
ment was decided in favor of the
CnamDer Cf Commerce.
Everything went along we'll enough
until about a month ago when those
who had been instrumental in secur-
ing better rates learned that the COM
mission had listened to the pleadings
OF the railroad and was about to open
the case again. Then Messrs. Herbert
and Benet came to Washington and
took up the matter with the commits
sion.
Today decision to have q special
examiner go to Columbia and take tes-
timony means that practically all the
work that has heretofore been done in
the matter must now be done again.
What the result of this new taking
OF testimony will be is entirely prob
lcmatical at the present time.

too great care can not be exercised in
making selections. The success of the
work of eradication depends largely
upon the type OF man selected for the

Great assistance can be given work by
a sympathetic and helpful attitude on

ties in which the work is successfully
pushed. No man will be gained by

TO PROTECT BRITISH.

result OF representations by British
Consul II. c. Myles of Ell Paso to Gen.
Carranza regarding the security OF
British mining property in northeast.
ern Mexico, Gen. Carranza late today
addressed notes to Gen. Jesus Car
rama and other rebel chiefs in that
territory: instructing that British per-
sonal and property rights must be
respected.
Gen. CarranZa today said he felt
his foreign policy had been justified
in call made on him by Mr.. Myles.
Pedro Fabela, constitutionalist minis
ter Of foreign affairs, today issued this
statement:
"The British consul spoke to me
unofIlcially regarding claims Of Brit
ish subjects. This is the result of
our attitude assumed in the Benton
case, Of not answering representa-
tions made by the American govern
ment in case of foreigners who are
not Americans.
1--WE consider the first magistrate
has obtained a diplomatic victory
which is just and is founded on inter-
national law. The British consul was
given every consideration and l shall
take pleasure in answering his ques-
tions in accordance with the views Of
the first magistrate. England gives
an example to the rest of the nations
who have not recognized the rebels
in that British representatives will ad-
dress themselves unofficially to the
first magistrate in matters regarding
British citizens.
If all governments were to proceed
In this manner, it would result in con-
siderable attention to their claims and
representations made in behalf of
their citizens and would avoid wrong
interpretations about the stand that
tho first magistrate takes which is
based on justice and right"
