EXHIBIT SOLDIERS HEAD

Brownsville. Tex, Sept. 28.- That the head of Private Rich ard J. Johnson, United States cavalryman, missing since last Fridays battle has been exhib- ited as a trophy on the Mexican side, was the statement made tonight by a Mexican prisoner to Hidalgo county officers, ac- cording to report which reach edhere. The officers admit that they are holding the Mexicans in connection with the disap- pearance of the soldier, but de- cline to confirm the report.
 As considerable feeling has already manifested itself among American soldiers, following the killing of several American sol diers, particularly that of Hen ny Stubblefeld, the effect of such confession on them might be serious, it is feared here tonight.

HALIFAX. July 9.-The steamer
Minnehaha. with the fire out, arrived
at Quarantine here shortly before

allowed to dock and no one from the
shore was permitted to go aboard the
ship. The ship will be examined this
afternoon.

wireless messages during the night.
asking more information about the
explosion" he reported started the
blaze. threatening destruction Of the
big liner and her $1,000 ton cargo of
ammunition. None of these mes
sages was answered The captains
reticence about the origin of the ex-
plosion strengthened the belief in
shipping circles that Hollis bomb or
a machine planted by a German spy
caused the liner TO turn in her course
and race back to Halifax.
Men who helped load the Mime
haha last week said today that Holts
bomb. if it succeeded in reaching the
liner, undoubtedly was placed in Hold
No. 3.
Captain Claret reported in a wire
less to the company's offices here
that besides her heavy munitions sup
plies the Minnehaha carried a miscel-
laneous cargo and that il would have
been possible for the college in
structor to have arranged for the
shipment of the bomb. Because the
Minnehaha was a slower boat and her
freight rates lower, il was thought
probable that shipping agents with
whom Holt deposited his explosives
would have chosen the Minnehaha in
preference to the Saxonia or the Phil
adelphia Holt believed the bomb
had been placed aboard one of these
vessels.

cause it has been impossible to secure
