The Postmaster's Story.
The story told this morning OF the
robbery by A B. Black, the Maple
Hill postmaster, was to me tbe e meet
daring that has ever been engineered
in the state.
''The first explosion awakened me-"
said Mr.. Black, "a numbe or otners
were aroused and rushed to the
street where they were met by mem
bers of the bandits patrol who were
armed with shotguns. The bandits
get back in their houses and get back
quick. The most of them, if not all of
them, did as told.
Before breaking into the bank, the
men took charge of the telephone ex-
change and forced their way into
hardware store where they obtained
the guns they were carrying.
Before the job was finished, several
shots-about two dozen in all-were
exchanged by the citizens of the town
and the banGits. None of the shots
took effect.

was blown and several hundred dollars
taken.

LANSING DEPLOREs REPORTS.
Secretary Says Worship Is Only for De-
parting Ministers.

Lansing announced late today that
only one warship would be sent to
Vera Cruz and that it was going to re-
lieve whatever ship is used for trans
portation of the Brazilian and Guate-
malan ministers. Secretary Lansing
denied fatty that military or naval ex-
petitions were being prepared and de-
clared such reports only interfered
with the success of effort to settle Mex
lean affairs peacefully.
Lansing said the increasing number
of acts of brigandage on the border
might necessitate strengthening the
army forces there, but he insisted such
an addition to the tropos had no con-
nection with internal Mexican affairs

glycerin, while his pals patrclled
the streets, keeping up a belch-
ing conversation of cuss words and re-
volver shots with the citizens of the
town, who had been aroused by the
Explosion.
Before they entered the bank the
robbers broke into the local hardware
store and gathered a supply of shot
guns with which they augmented their
strength which consisted of automat-
ic .38s. None of the persons of the
town got near enough to recognize any
of the bandits, but 1T was discovered
that none of them wore masks.
1t took seven loads of nitroglycerin
to blow open the safe which stood in
the front part of the bank. The vault
in the rear of the building was not
touched. All the windows in the bank
were shattered by the explosion and
everyone in Maple Hill was awakened.
Not all of the citizens Ventured out,
however.
When Shooting Began.
r. A. King was the first man to
main street of the town. He carried
.3S revolver. When he neared the
bank he was commanded to stay
where he was. This was a signal for
shooting. George knight and Will
Cox soon joined KiEg in the revolver
fight with the bandits. About seventy
five shots were fired.
While the shooting was going on
and the robber was pouring the
soup into the safe other Maple Hill
people hurried to the telephone eX-
change to send for help from nearby
towns. When they reached the door
of the building they stared into the
muzzle of a shotgun and were ordered
to ''get out and stay OUT by the ban
dit who guarded the place.
The men swore a good deal be-
canSa thew had to make seven charges
with nitroglycerin before the safe
could be blown" said Mr.. Weaver, this
morning. "They did not seem to care
much about how they talked to the
people who came near the bank. With
their revolvers and shotguns they
managed to take all the time they
needed. There was between two and
three thousand dollars in the safe.
Apparently the robbers were not
"old heads at the game for If they
were it surely would not have taken
seven joltS of nitroglycerin to wreck
the safe. 1t took them so long to get
into the safe that they completely ig-
nored the vault.
The bandits left town in a buggy,
according to the best information this
morning. A little way out of town on
the main road the citizens who inves-
tigated the situation at daybreak
found fresh" buggy track.

Order to Sail Delayed.

Admiral Benson and Leon Canova,
chief of the Latin-American division
of the state department, today con-
ferred concerning the reports that
foreigners were in danger at Vera
Cruz and then went to the Office of
Secretary Lansing. Admiral Benson
said:
mo additional naval force has been
ordered yet to go to Vera Cruz
1t was inferred that Commander
McNamee had urged the dispatch of
vessels without loss of time.
The conference with the secretary
of state was brief. When Admiral
Benson came out he said:
Il repeat that no additional forces
have been ordered to Vera Cruz or to
Mexico
1t is assumed that the Louisiana and
New Hampshire will be held at New
port for further orders.
The battleships New Hampshire and
Louisiana, now at Newport, R. l., with
the Atlantic fleet, were ordered to pre-
pare at once to go to Vera Cruz, but
if the emergency should become press
ing the battleShip Connecticut, now
in Haitien waters, and about two days
sail across the gulf, would be ordered
to join Commander McNamee. The
Connecticut could reach Vera Cruz
several days ahead of the New Hamp-
shire and Louisiana.

Warships May be Ordered to Sail to

Cornish, Aug. 10.-President Wilson
decided this afternoon to end his va
cation at once and return to Wash
ington, presumably on account of the
Mexican situation.
Dispatch of a warship squadron to
Vera Cruz in response to what was re-
ported to be a request from Com
mander McNamee, at Vera Cruz, to
protect foreigners, is imminent.
There is good grounds to believe
that the president will direct the war
