Mutiny in Nuevo Leon

LAREDO, Tex, Feb. S-A mutiny in NucVo Laredo among the troops of the de facto government caused the closing tonight of the international lIiGge between this place and the Mexican town. About fifty shots were fired and much alarm was occasioned here. Censorship established by the municipal authorities prevented the full facts becoming known. although it was said the mutinous troops had been captured and that loyal mem bers of the Nuevo Laredo garrison were patrolling the town.
 The International bridge was closed on request of the Mexican military authorities. One of the garrison of ficers came to this side tonight and said:
 Several drunken Mexican soldiers have mutined The entire garrison
 had been called to arms, he said He refused further information and at
 midnight it was not known here whether anyone had been killed in the exchange of shots.
 Officials here took precautions to prevent any disorder on the American side, although after the first out break there was no sign that the Nue- vO Laredo authorities did not have the situation well in hand

HARTFORD. Conn. Feb. S.-Ac- cumulated interest of $30.000 on the attached saving bank deposits of the 1S0 defendants in the famous Dan bury Hatters Boycott litigation, be- longs to the defendants, according to q decision today by Judge E. s. Thomas of the United States district court.
 The plaintiffs, D. E. Loewe and company had claimed they were en- tiled to all the interest that had ac- crued since the attachments were made 13 years ago.
 This sum, it IS said, in union cir cies here, will practically complete the amount needed to save the hat ters homes from being auctioned off to satisfy the judgment of $252, 2,130 awarded D. E. Loewe and Company by the United States Supreme court.
 Organized labor throughout the United States recently undertook to raise the entire amount by sumscrip- ticns but it is said that the amount was about $30.OO0 short.

A man, who is little more than a boy in appearance, is being held in the county jail on the charge of rob plng the Y. M c. A., and several hotels in Los Angeles.
 Thomas F. Eggleston, just twenty one, is wanted in California for steal ing books and jewels of great value besides large sum of money.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Feb. S-Thomas A. Flynn, United States district attOr- ney; Joseph Dillon. United States mar shal, and Frank A. Thackerey, super intendent of the Pima Indian reserva- ton, arrived here tonight from Phoenix to organize a posse to go to Tuba and prevent a threatened outbreak among the Hopi Indians. They plan to leave here tomorrow.
 The trip to the reservation probably will require several days, as the inter vening country is covered with a deep snow. Sledges will be used by the of ficials, as it would be impossible to make the trip along the trails by au- tomobile or wagon.
 No additional information has vet been received here concerning events on the western Navajo reservation, where the Indians were threatening to go on the warpath to avenge the death of one of their number by police off cers.
 Superintendent Thackery stated to- night that he and the other government officials hoped to reach Tuba some

 No show of force will be made. he added, and every effort will be made to convince the Indians that the gov ernment will deal fairly with them.
 c. B. Wilson, an attorney here. re- ceived today a letter from Walter Rdnke superintendent at the Navajo reservation. The letter was dated February and said that he believed it would be necessary to send troops to the reservation to disarm the In- dians.
 The letter also said that the Ma VaJo Indians, and not the Hopi tribe werc causing the trouble

guard duty will be left to the Bull garians, a majority of the Austrians being sent elsewhere.
 Another paper declares that the reason for the delay of an attack up on Salcniki is due to differences be- tween Austria and Bulgaria regard ing a division of territory.
 The London Times expresses the belief that the continued threats of an attack is a German ruse to keep 200000 allies at Saloniki while other schemes are developing elsewhere
 A dispatch to Reuters Telegram mail on board the Dutch steamer HolTandia. which arrived at Amster- dam yesterday from Buenos Aires, was detained at Falmouth.
 The Times military expert today devotes nearly three columns to an estimate of the German losses during the war. With due allowances for many considerations which tend to make such estimates to a large eX- tent guessWork. the correspondent be- lieves that during the IS months of N'ti Nti iidilN llto loSl elbout 1,iVV,Vuu men.
 It is estimated by the writer that Germany now has 3.600,000 men in the field and that she mad about l 9,000,00 men available at the begin ming of the war. This he says would leave her a reserve of 2,700,000 men, many of whom are needed for inter nal duty.
 The expert thus reaches the con- | clusion that Germany still has avail able for fighting, a reserve of 2.- 100000 men and says that until these are exhausted the strength of her ar mics in the field will not begin to fail her.
 l The correspondent makes his article the text for a renewal of his urging that the entente allies give up as far as possible what he terms petty campaigns in far off fields and con- centrate against Germany. l The British government has is- sued a new order making it compul- sory for all aliens throughout the United Kingdom whether enemy OI friendly, to register with the police
 Heretofore friendly aliens were re- quired to register only in prohibited areas.

New Flood Dancers

PORTLAND Ore, Feb. S.-Warm weather along the upper Columbia has caused the ice to break up and the deep snOws in that section to start melting and the flood danger in the Willamette and Columbia river valleys took on new danger tonight. Rain continues and more is predicted. The snow is melting rapidly and it was predicted here tonight that the Willamette river would be II feet above zero by tomorrow night. Zero is 2S feet.
 The great danger in the situation tonight is the warmer weather in the upper Columbia district It was thought up to today that the Villa mette would be able to discharge it's flood waters before the Columbia rose with the melting snow. However, should the Columbia rise rapidly it would send backwater up the Villa mette and the situation would be critical. This has happened in other flood seasons.
 Ash street dock in Portland fell victim to the high water tonight and the lower level being submerged. All other docks have made arrangements to protect goods and several offices have moved to higher levels Aims worth dock where the big three" fleet docks goes under water at the | r foot stage, the stage predicted for tomorrow.

WASHINGTON. Feb. S.-A bill for government armor plate factory was approved by the senate naval committee today within few mon utes after manufacturers had served notice that should such a plant be established the price charged the government for armOr made by pri- vate concerns would be increased nearly One-half.
 An appropriation of $11,000,000 is carried by the bill for purchase or construction of a government plant with an annual output of not less than 30,000 tons. That is little more than would be required for two first class battleships, and would leave a large part of the armor needed in the navy's increased building pro gram to come from private plants.

 PARIS, Feb. S.-Rene Besnard un- der secretar yof state for aviation and aeronautics, has resigned.
 Some of the alleged shortcomings of NJ. Besnard's department recently have been publicly criticised in the chamber of deputies and have been referred to as the "aViation crisis" The decision of NJ. Besnard to resign came yesterday after the meeting of the parliamentary committee before which the under sec retary was cross questioned, the ses- sion being marked by repeated clashes between M. Besnard and members of the committee, it is reported.
 The government has decided not to appoint a successor to M. Besnard. The aviation department hereafter will be under the control of the minister of war who will choose a director.
 NJ. Besnards resignation, as con- tained in letter to Premier Briand, said that since taking charge of the office and despite difficulties with which he vas confronted, he had put the service on the orderly and produc- tive basis which was indispensable. The parliamentary committee had been able, he said, to observe the results al ready achieved.
 But yesterday" M. BeSnard's letter continued, during meeting of the senate's army committee, which 1 at tended in company with the minister of war, 1t clearly appeared that it was the intention that the under secretary of state should assume responsibilities considerably in excess of the powers of that office. Only the minister of war having authority over all branches of the military administration, could as- sume such a role. Under these cOndi- tions, | have the honor to send you my resignation"
 Premier Briand requested NJ. Bes- nard to reconsider his decision to re- sign, but he declined to do so. Genera Galllenl. the minister of war, wrote NJ Besnard expressing regret that he haC given up his post.
 For some time there has been hos tility between M. Besnard for his con. duct of the office of under secretary for aviation and aeronautics. The campaign against him was conducted by certain newspapers which charged that he was incapable. The govern ment was to have been interpellated il the chamber of deputies on Januar, l3 on the sO-called aviation crisis but Premier Briand urged it's postpone ment which was agreed to on tn ground that it was trivial one ant that M. Besnard shortly would be abI to show that the apprehensions of tn Would-be interpellators were ground less.
