BLOCK WAY TO
MEXICO CITY
General Navarete Comes to Aid
of Mas.
STRONGHOLD IN MOUNTAINS.
Cavalry, Artillery and Infantry In
trenched In a Place Affording
Splendid Cover For Big Guns
and Sharpshooters.

New York.-General Navarete, with
5000 men, including cavalry, artillery
and infantry, has encamped 100 miles
from Vera Cruz and will assist Gen
eral Mas in attempting to block any
attempt by American forces to march
from Vera Cruz to Mexico City.
Mexicans are preparing to contest
every step of the way, reliable advices
say. The troops of General Navarete
occupy strong position, ideally
chosen for the placing of big guns in
mountain Businesses, and affording
splendid cover for the operations of
scattered bands of sharpshooters.
General Mas, despite reports to the
contrary, has an efficient fighting force
stretched along the railroad line be-
tween Vera Cruz and Mexico City.
Each OF his soldiers carries 100 rounds
of ammunition, they carry rifles of
modern type and their food supplies
are ample. The number of men under
his command cannot be estimated as
they are widely scattered, but the out
posts guard the approaches to noun
tains where he could withstand the as
saults of large army with compare
lively few men.
The French consul at Cordoba had
an interview with General Mas at
Paso del Facho, n miles from Vera
Cruz, trying to arrange guarantee of
safe conduct for French courier to
Mexico City. In order to reach Paso
del Macho the consul was obliged to
walk about two miles, for which dis
tance the railroad tracks had been torn
up by General Mas orders. The de-
struction of the railroad was still pro-
ceeding as the consul boarded train
at the end of the break in the road.

DEAD AND WOUNDED.

Washington, D. C.-Sailors and ma
tion of Vera Cruz will be honored with
funeral services of a national charac-
ter on the arrival of their bodies
aboard the United States cruiser Mon
tana at New York, the Navy Depart
ment announced.
Secretary Daniels said that arrange
ments for the services had been placed
in the hands of Capt. Albert Gleaves,
commandant of the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, and Capt H. o. Dunno, naval
supervisor of New York harbor. They
have been instructed to cooperate
with the civil authorities in New York
city, should there be any desire there
to arrange for general demonstra-
tion Of respect. 1t was tentatively
suggested that funeral procession
from the battery to the Brooklyn
bridge and thence to the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, followed by military mass
at the marine barracks there might be
arranged
From New York the bodies will be
sent at government expense to the
homes of relatives, and Secretary Dan
iels said that naval honors would be
accorded at burial services where de-
sired. Already arrangements have
been made for an escort from the
naval training station on Lake Michi-
gan for the burial procession in Chi
cago for Samuel Meisenberg, private
of marines. whose home was in that
city, and similar arrangements have
been made at Mobile, Ala, in honor of

THE PRESIDENT
TO WORK IN TENT
Wilson will Spend Large Part
of Day in Open Air.
is IDEA OF HIS PHYSICIAN
May Be Kept In Washington During
Summer and Is Preparing To
Spend Hours Out OF
Doors.

Washington, d. c. - Anticipating
similar to the one ne underwent last
year, President Wilson is preparing to
spend large part of his mornings and
afternoons in the open air. A tent is
being erected in the flower garden be-
tween the mansion and the executive
Offices. 1t will be ready for the Presi-
dent to occupy in a few days.
Telephone connections, push but
tons and electric lights are being
strung up When the summer Office
is completed the President will be
situated much like field general. In
the event that war with Mexico comes
the army and navy will both be di-
rected from this tent.
The tent is ideally situated. Pre-
vailing breezes in summer are from
the south and these will sweep through
it. The northern and western breezes
are cooler and the President can re-
main at his desk or in his study when
the wind shifts from the south.
The idea of having summer of1ce,
It is said, originated with DR.. Cary
Grayson, physician to the Executive,
who realizes the necessity of getting
the President out in the open air as
much as possible. The President at
this time is in good health. He is
man of a highly nervous temperament,
however, and needs a great deal OF
outdoor freedom, air and sunshine. He
is an enthusiastic golfer, but even this
does not afford him the requisite
amount of recreation.
The tent will not be used as Sleep
Ing apartment This would be ill-ad-
vised and the President would be in
danger of malaria. The White House
grounds are a part of the Potomac
fats and the nights bring malaria and
mosquitoes. A sleeping porch, well
screened, will be built for the Presi-
dent on the second floor of the man
sion.

MINE GIVES UP
50 OF ITS DEAD
Rescuers Find Bodies Burned
Beyond Recognition.
NO HOPE FOR TRAPPED MEN
Little Town Is Filled With Hidden
Tragedies-Bride of Two Months
Loses Husband-WidoWed
Mothers Lose Sons.

Eccles, W. Va.-Fifty bodies have
been located at the bottom of the
New River Collieries Company Mine
No. here in which the second great
est mine explosion in the territory
of the State occurred.
The rescuing party, after spending
four hours in exploring, reported that
they observed no signs of life in the
mine. This is taken as almost con-
elusive evidence that all of the 172
men who were in the main shaft and
the entries when the catastrophe took
place have perished and that 181 lives
have been exacted by the tragedy
which has cast shadow over this en-
tire community.
The death roll includes the eight
men who were killed in Mine No. 6,
about 300 yards away, and the one
man who died later in the McKendree
Hospital
The rescuers so far have made no
attempt to remove the bodies, but
have confined their efforts to search
ing for signs of possible life. Every
man found so far was killed by the
force of the explosion, and not as
phyxiated. Others. however, undoubt-
edly have died from inhaling the
poisonous white damp" gas. The
presence of this gas in some abund-
ance was found by the rescuing party
by means of canary bird.
Scene at Bottom of Mine Chaotic.
After descending the 500 feet to the
base of the shaft, "the cage" in which
they rode rested upon two mine cars,
which the force of the explosion had
piled up under them. They alighted
with difficulty and began their search.
The scene was chaotic. Three dead
mules, their bodies mangled, lay near
the cage. Beside them were the cars
they had drawn demolished.
The searchers traversed the main
southwark entry to it's length, about
1000 feet In their path, half covered
by broken stone, coal and splintered
timbers, lay bodies of men. Pausing
only long enough to make sure that
life was extinct, they pressed forward.
An electric motor car was lying on
it's side in their path. They clam
bered over and found the mangled
body of the motorman. He had been
hurled about 80 feet.

BURNS TO DEATH IN AUTO.
Young Man lncinerated When Machine
Explodes.

Lynchburg, Va.-Raymond Vaughan,
about 25 years old was burned to
death after the seven-passenge auto
mobile he was driving was demolished
by local train on the Southern Rail-
way east of the city, and Mrs. Jack
Perrow, who was with him, was also
horribly, if not fatally, burned. The
woman was being taken home from a
shoe factory picnic and the car was
struck before the rear wheels cleared
the track. This burst the gasoline
tank and instantly the flames roared
high above the train as it passed.
Neither of the victims was injured by
the collision and passengers on the
train stood helpless and saw Vaughan
roast to death.

OFFICIALS ARE
APPREHENS|vE
Renewal of Mexican Attack
Seems Probable.
TROOPS ARE ON GUARD.
The Mexican Commander, Under
Flag Of Truce, Demanded the
Surrender Of the Water
works.

Washington, d. CA detachment of
several hundred Mexican Federal SOL
diers advanced on the waterworks out
side Vera Cruz and made an attempt to
destroy the water supply of the city.
A report from General Funston said
a few scattered shots had been fired at
the American troops guarding the
waterworks outside Vera Cruz, but no
one was killed or injured. Reinforce
ments reached the scene, but were not
needed and later returned to Vera
Cruz.
Secretary Garrison made public the
dispatch from General Funston, which
said the Mexican Federals at FL Tejar
had demanded the surrender of the
waterworks at Vera Cruz.
The works were protected by two
companies of American marines and.
the dispatch stated, a detachment of
Mexicans about 500 strong appeared
under a flag of truce and warned the
American forces to withdraw and sur
render their position within 10 min
utes.
An appeal for reinforcements imme-
diately was made to General Funston
and additional troops were sent to pro-
tect the works. In the meantime, how
ever. few scattering shots were fired
by the Mexicans, who retreated and
disappeared when the reinforcements
arrived.
TAr, IN n
patch, advised Secretary Garrison that
the Mexican troops were no longer in
sight and that the reinforcements sent
out were returning, with the exception
of two companies which were left at
the pumping station and another
which was ordered to guard railway
bridge.
When Colonel Van Vilet and Col
onel Lejeune, with their supports, ar
rived at the waterworks station Major
Russell and his men were not at all
hard pressed.
The Mexicans had contented them
selves with a scattering fire, consist
ing of not more than four or FIVE shots
at range of about 1,500 yards.
From Major Russell's lines only one
shot was fired
General orders had been given for
the American troops not to assume the
offensive and not to fire at all unless
attacked.
While no fear is felt by the army
authorities in Vera Cruz that the Mexi-
can troops will make serious attack,
it is realized that considerable incon-
venience soon will be created unless
something is done to open the roads
into those districts where garden and
dairy products come from.

REBELS THREATEN MAYO.
Will Fire Oil Wells If He Enters
Panuco River.

Vera Cruz.-The constitutionalists
at Tampico have notified Rear Admiral
Mayo, commander of the American
warships stationed there, that if any
of his vessels attempted to enter the
Panuco River the oil reservoirs above
the city would be emptied and the oil
ignited, which would mean certain de-
struction to the town.
This situation was reported by the
commander of the United States tor
pedo-boat destroyer Jenkins, which
arrived at Vera Cruz from Tampico,
Both the federals and the rebels are
reported to have planted mines IN
Tampico harbor.
It,is generally thought here that Ad'
miral Mayo will await the capture OF
the city by the rebels through the slow
process of starving out the federals.
