brought out by him to redeem his
paper currency. E1w. Harr. the we'll

he has collected over 100000 worth
of Villa currency. .,. e. r:
Were Harr to go now to the sec

supported he would be able to buy
anything he desired and he might live
in luxury as long as the rebel chieftain
escaped the American army, but as II

pesos of the currency around in his
pocket and, with his name printed ON

business cards.

BLOODY FIGHT WITH u CREW
Sailors on British Steamer Resist
Boarding Party.

London. Feb. Survivors OF the
British steamer Woodheld, sunk by a
submarine of the Moroccan coast, ar
rived here with story of a bloody
fight with the L boat crew.
The submarine overhauled the
Woodfeld after a short chase and
sent out a boarding party. The Wood
fields crew attacked the submariners
as they clambered upon the deck and
engaged them in a knife and pistol
duel The L boat was unable to bring
her guns into play for fear of killing
her own men.
The hand-to-hand combat on the
Woodfelds deck lasted for three
hours The steamers crew, poorly
armed. was finally overcome after
eight sailors had been killed and four.
teen wounded. They were put into
small boats and pulled for the Moroc-
can coast. Their troubles did not end
when they reached land, they said.
A party of bandit Moors noticed their
approach and made them prisoners.
They were released after the Wood
field Shipping company of London, the
vessels owners, paid ransom.
