TeIegraphic Embraces
and Fluctuations Are
Costly to Mr.. Carranza

Fluctuations and inquiries as to the
health of the recipient Will hereafter
be barred in all kilograms relating to
official business of the Carranza gov
eminent.
The government is ecOnOmizing and
the old idea that politeness doesn't
cost anything has been found to be q
fallacy. In fact the old prOverb has
cost Carranza thousands Of dollars in
the last few months.
Before the anti politen-s S. order was
issued. every telegram sent from one
official to another was literally
sprinkled with "felicidads," "em-
braciOs" and "saludulos."
The local consulate took the matter
up and discovered that the "saludulos'
alone, when banded back and forth
across the United States and from Cal
weston to Veracruz, cost the govern
ment just S28L42 during the month of
November. "Felicidads" came next in
the list of literary luxuries and the
"embracios" were third. The grand
total for the months politeness
nearly $500.
CarTanza officials will hencefOrth
deal in hard facts in their messages
and leave expressions of sentiment
strictly to the imagination.

SAFETY is AHEAD"

Bishop Mcconnell is direct and con-
vincing in his address and every SEN

carry home and digest were: 1.-THE only
life for the christian to lead is the aS-

STAYS
CARRANZA STAFF
Constitutionalist Troops De
feat Santibanez and Con
tinUe in Pursuit.

Veracruz, Mex, Jan. After cap
turing Gen. Jesus Carranza, Gen. Al
fonsO Sanubanez, who has revolted
against the ConstitutiOnalists, executed
all of Carranza's staff with the ex-
ception of his son, AbelardO Carranza
and Ignacio PeraldL They are still
held captive.
The executions of the members of
the staff took place after Gen. Santi-
banez had failed to induce Venustiano
Carranza to make terms for their re-
lease.
Jesus Carranza was returning from
a visit to Pacific ports to report to
Gen. VenustianO Carranza here. when
he was made the victim of the treach-
cry of subOrdinates. The greater part
of his force had been sent forward
from Salinacruz over the Tehuantepec
railway. Carranza and his staff, who
were travelling in the rear, were over,
powered at San Geronimo.
Proposals for Release.
A series of kilograms purporting to
have been signed by Jesus Carranza,
but which, it has since developed, were
sent by Santibanez were received by
Gen. VenustianO CarranZa. The ma
jority of these urged Gen. Carranza
not to move forces against the cap
ture of Jesus Carranza and suggested
that arrangements be made for his re-
lease. Only vague terms were specl-
fled by the senders of the messages,
but apparently the condition most de-
terminedly sought was that Santibanez
be pardoned for his INSTRUMENTATION
and be allowed to, retain his old post.
Gen. VenUstiano Carranza declared
that not even for the sake Of his
brother could he cOuntenance any ar
engagements that any military man act
ing on his own initiative might take,
and after a day of. receiving messages
signed n the name of. Jesus Carranza
but apparently sent by the one who
was holding him prisoner, he ordered
a. movement of troops that resulted in
a sharp engagement at Chevela station
on the Tehuantepec railway.
Santibanez Rebels Defeated.
Little difficulty was encountered by
the loyal troops in defeating the reb-
els under Santibanez, but later it was
learned that Santibanez had shot all
those whom he had arrested, with the
exception of Carranza and his son and
Peraldi. These he carried away with
him to some place in the mountains
on the isthmUs.
Orders have been issued to pursue
the band as far as possible, regardless
OF consequences for TIE prisoners. San
tibanez was chief of the army on the
isthmus.
