"Say TO General Huerta in reply to
yours OF April H. that the President
OF the United States feels great disap-
pointment at his failure to a prompt
and willing reparation for insults
which were offered among sailors at
Tampico, the offence being still

arrest OF a mail carrier Of the United

General Huerta would on consldera-

From your telegram il would seem
that the Governments forbearance
has been misinterpreted Under the
circumstances the request for sim
ultaneous salute Is as uniustifiable
as the arrest of American sailors. and
this makes IL impossible for this
Government to consider further de-
lay.
You are instructed to inform Cen
eral Huerta that unless he announces
his intention to comply with Admiral
Mayo's demand by o'clock D. m

lay the matter before Congress on
Monday with u view OF taking such
action to enforce the respect due our

RAT EXTERMlNATOR RESENTS
REFUSAL OF GIFT OF RODENTS
Hurls Shoe Through Barber's Win
dow After Fight With Son,

Lifeless rats and an old shoe caused
a fight today in the barber shop of Paul
Mariana, Thirty-thrd and Market streets,
which resulted in the arrest of Tom
Brennan, 32l0 SAMSON street, who the
police say hurled a shoe through the shop
window, when the barber's son refused to
accept his rats.
Brennan recently enlisted as an expert
exterminator in the crusade against rod
ents. He has been seen by many per-
sons armed with rifle and is known
to have slain quite number of the pests
Today with a rifle in one hand and a
pair of dead rats in the other he ap-
preached Louis the seventeen-year-old son
of barber Mariana and urged him to ac-
cept the corpses.
The boy refused, and Brennan incensed,
hurled the rats in his face, Louis re-
taliated with his shoe. A fight followed
and Brennan, his rats and the shoe were
elected from the barber shop. Two min
utes later the shoe crashed through the
front window.
MAGISTRATE Harris before whom Bren-
nan was later arraigneG in the Thirty
second street and Woodland avenue po-
lice station discharged him when the
man promised to pay for the broken
window as soon as he earned sufficient
money killing more rats.

NEW BRANCHES FOR u. OF P.
Extension Courses Will Be Estab-
lished in Harrisburg and Reading.

Two extension branches of the Whar-
ton School of Finance and Commerce, Of
the University of PENNSYLVANIA. will be
opened this fall in Harrisburg and Read
ing. These schools Will be Identical in
every respect with the branches estab-
lished last year in Wilkes Barre and
Scranton. The purpose Of these branches
is to give to business men the essentials
of the new type of college education,
training them for a successful business
career.
Dean McCrea, Of the Wharton School,
in commenting on the prospects this
afternoon, said:
"The interest displayed by the business
men In the new branches is particularly
encouraging. We could not open
branches until we had a guarantee of at
least 100 students in each city From
present indications the enrolment will
greatly exceed that figure in both places.
The Rotary Club of Harrisburg. is back
Of the movement TO get a branch there.
and the Reading Chamber Of Commerce
is active in Reading At both places big
business houses and corporations are CO.
operating with us to arouse enthusiasm
among their employees. The Pennsylvania
Railroad invited faculty members to
speak before q meeting of their clerks.
while the Ellison Fisher Company, of
Harrisburg, has offered to repay the
tuition fee to any of its employees who
finish the three-year course"

CHARGE OF TURCOS
AT CHARLEROT LIKE
"HELL LET LOOSE
Germans Fall Like "Sufo-
Gated Wasps'' Before the
errible Onslaught of
Africa's Dark Warriors.
PARIS. Sent IL

PARIS, Sept. H.
The reckless bravery of the Turcos
the black troops that France has called
TO the front from Africa, is the theme
of many a thrilling tale.
An officer of zouaves, who took part in
the magnificent charge of the dusly Az.
rican warriors at Charlero and was
badly wounded, thus refers to the fight:
You could not If you tried exaggerate
the amazing bravery our fellows showed
right up to the jaws of death. We had
been fighting for four days around the
walls of Charleroi. There were 10000
of the enemy massed against our posi-.
splendid lads never finched, although
they had not chance for meal Some
times the advantage was with u.s. some
times we had to give way. The more
our artillery moved down the more the
enemy seemed to spring up They
swarmed in all directions, and that IL
why their casualties are much heavier
than ours
Suddenly our colonel cried Give the
Turcos free rein The avalanche be-
gan 1t was like hell let loose. They
tore along the enemy's batteries for
full mile. The Prussan guard was ex-
tended over about thousand yards As
the charge continued the boys chantol the
'Marscillaise,' but one comrade could
hardly hear the other. On they dashed
however, till they were within perhaps
fifteen yards, when the batteries i'm the
wood ceased firing, or they would have
moved down their own guards.
Then the bloodiest of all bavonet
melees began. While one man was trans
fixing huge Prussian and could not for
the moment release his bayOnet he W ,rd
out with his pistol and shoot ano. ~
while n comrade by his side would be be-
laboring his foe with the butt end of his
rifle. SO mad was the combat that mnav
of our men got hold of the noses of the
Germans with their teeth. Giants though
these picked guards of William are, they
are as little children before these terrific
Turcos. They fell like suffocated wasps;
blood splashed everywhere. 1 think
shot n hundred with my own revolver
In the end, as you know, the remnant,
utterly bewildered, threw down their
arms and fled for their lives. You can
guess how many escaped"
Another Frenchman, who is, with sew
eral Engishmen, in the hospital at
Rouen, tells the following story:
'I was in the battle in the streets Of
Charleroi. This is sure death said my
pal as the bullets struck the ground
from every side, We came to a farm
where we heard cows mooing from hun
ger. We were saved by Sengalese Sharp
shooters, who kept whole regiment Of
Grmans at bay They are black as dew
lis. and when the Germans see them with
their fiery eyes blazing from their inky
faces they take to their heels like rab-
bits"
