.F[D[RALS DESTROY
 TOWN ON BORDER
NUEYO LAREDO IN RUINS
UNITED STATES TROOPS FORCE MEXICANS TO FLEE
 SOUTHW ARD.

Laredo. Tex, April 24.-Nuevo La redo, the thriving Mexican border town opposite this place, was in ruins today, devastated by the dynamite and fire set by Mexican Federal sol diers. who late yesterday began an or gy of destruction which did not end until they were forced to flee south ward before the guns of the American border patrol.
 Two Mexicans are known to have been killed by the United States troops. Several brisk skirmishes between the Americans and Mexicans were fought in quick succession as the Mexicans, their troop trains ready to pull out of the burning city, began an indiscriminate fire across the ln- ternational boundary, but last nght there were no evidence that their shooting had been effective.
 Property damage in Neuvo Laredo will reach $500, 900, among the build ings destroyed being the United States consulate, the municipal build ings. the postoffice, the theater, the flour mill, one of the largest in this section of the southwest, the railroad shops of the Mexican National rall- way and other smaller structures. At late hour last night the fire was still burning, with no chance that It would be controlled until everything infammable had been wiped out.
 There was no property loss Tn La redo. Both international bridges are safe. though efforts to dynamite them resulted in the death of two men en- gagged in the undertaking. One Mex ican was shot by sharpshooter from the top of the water tower. The Mex ican was trying to reach the end of the international foot and wagon bridge. Another was killed when he tried to blow up the Mexican end of the international railroad bridge. American soldiers are constantly sta toned at the American end to pre- vent such an attempt.
 When the Mexicans finally departed order was quickly restored in Laredo, but strong guards remained through out the city. A serious problem was furnished immigration and city au- thorities by the presence here Of hun dreds of refugees from the burning city, who had to be furnished food and shelter.
 The Federal garrison evacuated Neuvo Laredo yesterday, supposedly going to Saltillo or Monterey. With their departure the busy little city, ordinarily of about 1000 population, was virtually deserted, all who did not follow the soldiers rushing panic stricken to the American side in fear of bandit attacks. Early yesterday the Federals returned, and it was an- nounced that they came back for addi- tional engines to pull their troop trains. The Mexican railroad shops are here.

man Fitzgerald of the house commit tee on appropriations, who had come to the White House to learn if any war funds were needed, that no ap- propriation was required flor the present"
 Tn discussing the general situation with callers the president explained that no aggressive act to aggravate the status of affairs would be taken by the American government.
 The president wished it to be i'm. pressed generally that the United States had not adopted threatening attitude toward the Constituencies in Mexico, but merely that it expects them to remain neutral while this government continued to seek repara- ton from the Huerta government for indignities offered by the Huerta au- thorities.
 Official messages from American Consular Agent George c. Carothers describing his meeting with Gen. Villa reached the president early. They specifically stated that Villa would not join Huerta, and the lntlmatlon was conveyed that Gen. Carranza, by ms strong protest dSd1iSI oho S"Poo of Vera Cruz was in reality seeking to prevent disintegration of his forces
 Future steps are dependent upon more definite announcement of the intentions of Gen. Carranza. Like wise, it is declared, the American forces will not extend their operations beyond the vicinity of Vera Cruz un- til it is clear whether Gen. Huerta will declare war or send troops to at tempt to dislodge the American forces
 The president made it clear that he had no intention as yet to call for vol unteers, or appearing before congress to ask for an extension of his author ity. It was further stated that brl- gade of infantry and artillery from Galveston to reinforce the naval forces at Vera Cruz is not intended as an indication that the United States would develop campaign against Mexico City, but should Huer- ta, by some overt act against Amerl- cans in Mexico City or elsewhere, pro yoke the American government furth- CT. there will be a continuation of ef- forts to obtain reparation.

VILLA DECLARES HE
 WON'T FIGHT U. s.
CARRANZA NOT HOSTILE
IS CLAIM OF HIS CONFIDENTIAL AGENT AT FL PASO
 TEXAS.

Fl Paso, Texas, April 24.-General 1 Francisco Villa, head of the rebel mil itary forces, informed George c. Car others, special agent of the state de- partment, that he will decline to be dragged into a war with the United States by anybody.
 "Why," he smiled as he threw an arm about Carotners' shoulders, "al' Europe would laugh at us if we went to war with you. They would say, that little drunkard Huerta has drawn them into a tangle at last
 Villa said he was not consulted in the drafting of the Carranza note transmitted to Secretary Bryan and which was regarded as somewhat hos tile in tone.
 The rebel leader told Carothers, who reported the interview to the state department tonight, that one of the chief reasons he came to Juarez was to show the American people that his attitude was friendly and that he did not fear to trust himself on the border without a military escort be- hind him.
 Carothers took supper last night with Villa and canvassed the situation
 
 thoroughly.
 Honest" said the rebel general between mouthfuls, "I hope the Amer jeans bottle Vera Cruz so tight that that they can't even get water into it. Your admiral is donig something it would have taken us long time to accomplish if we could have accom- plished it at all.
 Roberto V. Pesquiera, Carranza' s confidential agent here. insisted that the note of his chief to Secretary Bry- an was not hostile, but was intended as a basis for further negotiations. He was expecting a reply from MT. Bryan setting forth the views of the department.
 The rebel position is that the Amer ican troops should be withdrawn from Mexican soil, Caranza recognized as de facto president or at least as a belligerent, and the punishment of the individual Huerta and the other in- diyidual offenders left to the rebels.

FORMAL DECLARATION
 OF WAR UP TO MEXICO
WILSON WILL TAKE NO MORE STEPS UNLESS PROVOKED
 TO DO so.

Washington, April 25.-Sympton1s of uneasiness over the present indefi- nite status of the relations between Mexico and the United States are be- ginning to manifest themselves in dip lomatic circles and it is expected that the attention of the state department soon will be called to the advisability of issuing some statement to make It clear whether or not a state of war actually exists. Some diplomatic rep resentatives here have been in receipt of inquiries from their own govern ments on this point.
 The point is raised in these quar- ters that it is necessary to know where to look for indemnification for the losses which may be sustained through events accruing in Mexico. It is claimed that if war formally is de- clared or if blockade is proclaimed by the United States, ship owners having fair notice, will start cargoes for the blockaded ports at their own risk

CT, made public at the Navy Depart ment at 2:45 a. m.
 Eight men were killed and 30 wounded in Wednesdays fighting in the Mexican city. An earlier report had put the second days casualties at two killed and 10 wounded, making the total 10 killed and 40 wounded Among the Mexican wounded were many women and children. Some were killed. The local White Cross organizations Mexican organization similar to the Red Cross-is assisting in caring for the wounded Mexicans. Conditions in Vera Cruz began to take on a normal. aspect late Wednes- day. Some of the residences were opened and considerable portion of the native population began to ap- pear on the streets. There were no expressions of good will for the Americans, but at the same time there was no serious an- tagonism.
 Thh Mexicans there seem thorough ly cowed and appear to accept with passiveness the presence of the for |eign forces.
 When the Americans entered the marine barracks they found only one soldier who had been detailed on the roof to guard 25,O00 rounds of am- munitiOn.
 A panic was created in the houses and in the streets along which the marines and blue jackets passed, car rying out orders to search them. Many doors were locked and had to be broken open, the occupants being convinced that their visitors were looters.
 The women principally manifested relief when they found themselves treated courteously, for prior to the coming of the Americans, the Mexi- cans had spread reports of the terri ble things the foreign soldiers would do.
 Steps have been taken to establish a form of civil government, although for a time it may be more military than civil in it's personnel.
 Such local officials as can be located will be restored unless there is good reason floor replacing them.
 For the present the fighting is over except for insignificant operations in the outskirts.
 Rear Admiral Fletcher has taken up headquarters at the Terminal ho- tel. The entire city is strongly pa troled and quiet prevailed today. Rear Admiral Fletcher is in command of the land operations, while Rear Admiral Badger, commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet, has brought his flag into the harbor on the Mime | sOta.
 After the general advance began this morning Mexican sharpshooters on the roofs put up stubborn re- sistance. There was one brisk action guns of the Prairie and Chester as- sisting in silencing a heavy fire from the naval college Shells from the Prairie finally shattered it's walls.
 The number of Mexicans killed yes terday is estimated at l50, with many wounded. The Mexican losses today are not known, but are thought to oe heavy.

} MORE AMERICANS DEAD AT VERA CRUZ FIRING IS NOW SILENCfD OVER FIVE THOUSAND BLUE COATS NOW ASHORE AT
 VERA CRUZ.

Washington, April 24.-Fighting in the city of Vera Cruz has finally stop ped. Rear Admiral Fletcher, by wire less, under date of 9 o'clock last night reported that desultory firing that had continued since the American forces landed Tuesday had been si- fenced by house-to-house search and Glsarming Sf all inhabitants.
 Admiral Badger last night reported to the Navy Department that three more men had been killed and 25 wounded in the fighting at Vera Cruz
 Secretary Daniels last night gave the news in this statement:
 Admiral Badger advises tonight tha the landed battalion from the Minnesota, Michigan, South Carolina yesterday afternoon, and that the landing forces now ashore total about 5,4OO men. The Minnesota, Chester, Prairie and Sanfrancisco are lying in the inner harbor.
 Admiral Badger reports that as a result of desultory firing which con- tinued about the city last night and htis morning, three more American sailors were killed and about 20 wounded.
 "The landing party now occupies all the city and outposts have been stationed on the sand hills in the rear, who have been engaged in construct ing defensive works.
 Admiral Badger is making every effort to induce Mexican municipa, authorities to assume their duties and take up the early administration of the city. He reports negotiations fair ly successful All work in the city is still stopped and no business is being transacted. The public service utili- ties have stopped because the en- ployes refuse to run the risk to them selves of resuming employment.
 "Very little food supply has been coming into the city, and it is thought that in few days the question of feeding the people will become para mount, and that it is possible the United States will be called on to furnish food. The water supply IS causing anxiety.
 '"rhe Mexican forces are now dis posed along the railroad line and while Admiral Badger reports the ru- nor that they are preparing to attack he adds that it is doubted that thls IS true. and expresses his belief that any attack can be successfully resisted.
 "The tugs Hatapusco and PatuXent arrived today at II a. m. The Nash vile arrived at the same time. but proceeded down the coast later.

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray
Faded Hair Dark and
Glossy

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color anC
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to MAKE it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about so cents. EV'
erybody uses this old, famous recipe,
because no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does il
50 naturally and evenly, You dampen
q sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and af.
ter another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years young
