Astounds Mexicans.

Vera Cruz, Mexico.-Secret agents
OF the Mexican army are said to have
been recognized in the streets of Vera

the camp of the marines. Mexican
troops are reported to be massing at
the important San Francisco bridge on
the Interoceanic railroad.
Reports have been received here
that Huerta is in danger of assassina-
ton and that he Is boldly defed by his
enemies in the City of Mexico. The
troops there are said to be wavering
in their allegiance to him, and may
desert his cause as soon as the Amer

cially been notified of the fling Of a
suit by the encouragement OF Arkan-
sas claiming part Of Mississippi, near
Friars Point, and the case VIII be
fought out in the supreme court of
the United States.
Gov, Brewer received official com
munications from Washington about
the matter, and turned them over TO
Assistant Attorney-General Ethridge

eral Collins, who is in New Orleans

partment Of the state.

boundary lines near Friars Point and
about three miles of levees. Formerly
the Mississippi river made a bend be-
low Friars Point and the old channel
gradually filed in, and the river has
now cut across a neck Of land within
the Arkansas territory. The claim Of
Arkansas is that it's boundary runs to
the center of the old channel as it ex-
listed when the state was admitted
into the Union.
The controversy, II is said. involves
three miles of expensive levee works
constructed by the state of Missis-
sippi.
The suit was filed in the United
States supreme court, and Mississippi

just reached Jackson it is impossible
to say what lines Of defense Missis-
sippi will offer.
The case promises to be a most in

DICTATOR ENTERS COMPLAINT
Tells Mediators Americans Have
Broken Armistice by Landing at
Lobos-Dipiomats Fear for
Safety Of Subjects.

WashingtOn.-The slender thread Of
hope for the C Of the Niagara
Falls mediation conference is strained
anew by two developments. One Of
these was the receipt of news that
Gen. Huerta has failed to carry out
his promise for the release of United
States Consul John r. Silliman, held
o prisoner at Saltillo. The other was
a formal complaint by Huerta to the
mediators that the United States had
violated the armistice by taking pos
session of Lobos island On the gulf
coast, near Tampico.
While these charges Of bad faith
we're passing back and forth between
Huerta and the United States prep.
a~rations were going forward in the
war department which had anything
but a peaceful Significance.

Secretary Garrison was in confer
ence with members of the general staff
and with the officials having charge of
the militia. 1t was acknowledged by
Mr.. Garrison that the conference was
considering the conditions created by
the newly-passed volunteer army bill.
The belief in Washington was that
preparations were being made for a
call for volunteers at a moments no
tice.
First official news of the landing Of
American sailors on Lobos island
reached the navy department. Rear
Admiral Mayo cabled that the Next
can keepers deserted the great light
house on the island and the destroyer

the benefit of navigation"
ConsuI's Release Demanded.
The situation in regard to United
States Consul Silliman came to a head
when the Brazilian minister at the
City OF Mexico, Senior Cardosa. cabled
to the state department that Silliman
was still held under arrest by the fed
erals at Saltillo. Steps were imme-
diteiy taken by the United States to
demand his release, and the belief
here is that the communication of the
United States goes so far as to
threaten a %reopening Of hostilities I'M

form, the remarks OF Maj. Holbrook.

left to the inclination Of the individual
strikers who, he said, owned the wea-
pons in their possession.
Maj. Holbrook informed the strikers
that the proclamation for disarmament
included everybody except those in &C
tual service of the United States. He
said that even the sheriff and police of
Trinidad would not be allowed to
carry weapons Of any sort.
The strikers listened attentively, ap-
plauding 10Y and then, and at the
close of the talk Mr.. Diamond divided

their interpreters to discuss the propo-
sition of giving up their arms.

from poison, but as a result of being
in a weakened condition.
1t was stated at the meeting that
the owner of the 1886 head of cattle
sent from Florida to Natchez, j. n
Carpenter, probably would be prose-

laws state the cattle must be dipped a
second time before being turned out

Como, Miss, planters during the

$4,000 and 10000 for high-grade cat

be purchased in Texas, and contains
225 heifers for the Coleman plauta.
ton, cows and calves for the Pointer
plantation and steers for the other
plantations.
The idea Of the planters in the Co

to the land SO that if the raising of
cotton has to be abandoned or re-
stricted they will be prepared for the
emergency and will be able to turn
their plantations into stock farms.
They are taking the lead where all
the other planters will have to follow
if the march of the boil weeyil is not
stopped. Even if the boil weevil were
not TO sweep over the county, the
stock will be a great Improvement
