POLICE WATCH
 GENERAL HUERTA
Fear He Will Attempt To Violate U. s. Neutrality Laws By Starting
 Mexican Revolt.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Special agents of the Department of Justice and of the State Department closely watch every move being made by Victoriano Huerta, former provision al president of Mexico, who arrived here yesterday on the steamer An tonic Lopez from Spain.
 The government agents fear that the former dictator will start an other revolt in Mexico in order to make himself president of the re- public.
 The Carranza government and the Villa-Zapata convention government through their diplomatic agents in Washington, made a protest to the State Department against Huerta be- ing allowed to land in the United States, but they were unable to show, to the satisfaction of the immigra- tion officials, that he planned re- volt and that he would violate the neutrality laws of the United States.
 Huerta has had many visitors since he reached the city, most of them being Mexicans who have been in the United States for many months.

CHINA REFUSES JAPAN N'S DEMANDS Reported That England, Russia and France Are Supporting China
 Against Japan.

PEKING, China, April 14.-The government of China today firmly re- fused the demands of Japan for ter ritorial control of Manchuria and for other commercial privileges. The re- port here is that Russia, England and France have backed the Chinese gov ernment in the protest, claiming that the diplomatic work of Japan in send ing to the Chinese government cer- tain demands and then sending a SUD- posed duplicate copy to all the pow CTS interested, but which, upon ex- animation, was found to be different than that presented to China, pre- vented them from working in accord with Japan.
 It is almost certain that without the backing of the allies of Japan in the present war that Japan wouldn't care to press its demands and it is thought that they will be modified.
 The Chinese government is making no preparations for war, believing that the trouble will be settled with out recourse to arms.

 Rae Tanzer, the woman in the case, is also under indictment for a similar offense, the government alleging that the breach of promise suit was an attempt to defraud
 Osborne insisted all along that he was not the party who is charged by Miss Tanzer with having made love to her under promise of marriage, and that the signature to the hotel register in Plainfield, Md, of MT. and Mrs. Osborne, was not his, but must have been some one else. He did not dispute Miss Tanzer's word that she had spent many nights at the hotel in company with man, but in. sisted he was not the man.
 Oliver Osborne, the man who did court the lady, has been found, but claims not to have had any part in the frame-up.

 The New York Times article said that Upon good authority, it was stated, that the Morgan-Guggenheim interests would probably extend their line into the agricultural districts and also to the coal fields if the gov. ernment leasing policy was liberal enough to encourage the opening of the mines, thereby bringing 1t to a certain extent into conflict with the government railroad" The article also quoted Perkins as stating that the president had made good choice," but that he was sorry the Cordova railroad had not been select ed by the government, but that i've will develop the resources along our line for further business"

The cruiser Chao-IIo, which was

abandoned this morning after she
had been shelled and set afre. 1t
was first reported that the Chao-Ho's
crew had mutnied. but it developed
today that the bombardment of the
other cruisers and arsenal was car
ried on under compulsion from the
rebels, who surprised and overpower-
ed the crew. Three men on the Chao-
Ho were killed and FIVE wounded.
The land attacks on the arsenal
and the police station during the
night were suppressed one policeman
being killed.
A number of shots fell in the for
eign settlement, but there was little
damage.
