The rumors of a mutiny of the fed
eral garrison at Guadalajara, which
were circulated here Friday, and were
denied by War Minister Banquet. were
due to confused telegraphic reports
which had reached the capital of the
detection of Brig. Juan Solares' troops
in the territory of Tepic.
Sclarcs was In command Of a force
OF Juchiteco Indians from the town
and district Of Juchitan. in the state of
Oaxaca, who had rendered good service
in the territory Of Tepic under Gen.
Rodrigo Paliza. Paliza had occasion
to come to this capital. and Brigadier
Sclares was left in temporary COM
mond Of the Juchitecos at Acaponeta,

took place. In which 1t appears the

PARK BOARD HAS NO FUNDS.
They Say They Would Like to Give
PLAYGROUND. But Have No Money.

Il noticed little article in re-
cent issue of The Ardmoreite sug-
gesting that the park board get real
busy and gravel the walks in Central
Park, and otherwise add some need
ed and some un-needed improve
ments," said Captain Wilmington,
a member of the park board this
morning. "and for the benefit of
those who are prone to make sug-
gestions, will say that if they will
come forward and place a sufficient
amount of money to the credit of
the park board, we will gladly add
as many improvements as the money
will buy, as We are entirely out of
funds and had to forego an order for
some trees we had agreed to take
from nursery, for that very reason.
''The park board wants to do every
thing possible for the citizens of the
city in the way of beautifying and
maintaining the parks but until We
have more values returned for tax
alton in the city We can expect moth
ing better than We have now, and
the people will have to make the
best with what they have"
The Mothers clubs of the various
wards have recently adopted a plan
that may result in Central park being
converted into a public playground,
and the park hoa"i seems disposed
to assist them in any way possible.
