Peaceful MEXICO TO
HAVE new REVOLUTION
FELIX DIAZ REPORTED TO BE
GATHERING FORCE IN THE
SOUTHERN PART.

Washington, April 5.-Reports to
the Department of Justice indicate
that there now is no longer any
doubt that Felix Diaz had landed in
Mexico. Officials have been inform
ed that he is at the head of consid-
cradle force in the South of Mexico,
and has received material aid
through Guatemala. 1t is the first
official information of the revolu-
tionary leaders whereabouts.
A propaganda in his favor along
the border between the United
States and Mexico is reported, and
a number of his adherents there are
under surveillance by the department
agents.
Thus far there has been little def
mite information as to his move
ments or the source from which he
obtained arms and ammunition. 1t
has been fairly we'll established, Of
ficials say, that he received consid-
cradle financial aid in New York.
One of his agents recently was trac-
ed by department agents to Canada,
and another was said to have left re-
Gently for Spain.
1t is considered possible that Diaz
may have armed his followers in
Cuba. In this connection officials re-
called today the sale about year
ago by the United States to Cuba of
a quantity of old rifles.
Guatemalan officials repeatedly
have denied that their country was
concerned in any way in the Diaz
movement, and reiterated that it is
neutral.

riously wounded Sheriff Dierker, of
st. Charles county, on Tuesday, was
slain by posse near here this after
noon.
The negro was trapped in a hay
loft of barn. When he appeared
at the door many shots were fred
at him and he ran back and set
the barn on fire.
AS the barn burned he again ran
to the door, and fell dead as a volley
of shots were fired.
Sheriff Dierker was shot and dan
gerously wounded Tuesday night,
when he attempted to arrest the ne
gro for shooting at Ernest Placke-
meier during a quarrel over wages.
After he had set the barn on fire
the negro again appeared at the door
and held up his hands. Hundreds
of bullets greeted him. He fell

DOORS OF M'HENRY
BANK ARE CLOSED
INSTITUTION IN HANDS OF RE-
CEIvER-WILL BE LIQUI-
DATED.

News was received here Monday
that the McHenry Deposit Bank had
closed it's doors and that the CASH
Ter. L. C. Brown, had been chosen
special Banking Commissioner to
take charge of the institutions bus
mess. State Bank Examiner E. l..
Augustus inspected the bank Mon
day and 1t was at the conclusion of
this examination that the directors
met and decided to quit business.
The cause of the banks bad showing
is attributed to the fact that the
mines have not been running regular
ly for sometime and that being the
main source of income for the peo-
pie of that vicinity scarcity OF mon
ey has resulted.
The depositors will be paid in full
as the men at the head of the defunct
institution are financially able to re-
place the losses of the bank. The
failure is not attributed to bad man
agement on the part of any of the
banks officers, but to the hard times
and irregular running of the mines
as stated above. 1t has not, for the
last two or three years, been consid-
cred a paying institution and it has
been kept going more through pub
lie spirit on the part of the officers
than as money making concern.
The last statement of the condition
of the McHenry Deposit Bank show
ed capital stock of $4,000 and a
surplus OF $1,000. The deposits
subject to check were s9,1SS.17;
time deposits S5,646.67. Total re-
sources and liabilities each $780,

Rode the Mountains.

HOue tne MOuntafns.
This particular cavalry patrol lit
orally rode the mountains in its
chase after quick news of the two
villa soldiers who had called for
food. The patrol, not wishing to be
seen from towns as II went out, took
to the sides of mountains where
trees, gullies and small valleys af-
forded good shelter from view OF the
plains. The men rode through steep
slopes, among which there were
neither road nor trail, except those
made by deer and bear. Their
horses slipped and stumbled over
rocks and boulders. Before they
reached the Mexican's house snow
obliterated the trails by which they
had hoped to follow the two bandits
to their hiding place.
At the house the cavalrymen
found only a man about eighty years
of age. in red and green blanket,
and a young woman, with small
baby. The two men who had called
for food, said the aged man. had left
for some place in the mountains.

Two hundred american cavalry
men under Col. w. c. Brown, Tenth
Cavalry, defeated an equal force Of
Villa followers in the second en-
gagement of the campaign at Aguas-
calientes, thirty miles north of Guer-
zero, on April 1.

villa Not Present.
Villa was not with the band, ac-
cording to the ranchmen, who assert
ed that the American troops believ-
ed at first they had encountered the
bandit chieftain.
For hours the American cavalry
men followed Gen. Manuel Lopez, one
of Villas lieutenants, and his ban
dts through winding canyons and
almost impossible trails of the noun
tains. Believing they had eluded
their vigilance and before they real
lied it they were confronted by the
troops Of the Tenth Cavalry of Gen.

been stationed near the town to in

make their escape. ,-~~A
Meager Details.
Only the most meager details Of
the ensuing engagement were
brought by the ranchmen, but in
many respects it resembled that of
a week ago at Guerrero. Immediate
ly the bandits realized the presence
of the American troops they began
a hurried disorganized fight from
their camp, some seizing their ponies
and others trying to make, their es-
cape afoot. They went singly and
in small parties all firing at the
American troops as they fled. None
took time to aim, the ranchmen said,
and as result none of the bullets
found khaki-ciad mark.
Officers here are inclined to be.
lieve that il thirty bandits were kill
ed in the running fight. that at least
as many more we're wounded. It
was asserted also that because of the
nature of the engagement supplies
and prisoners may have been captur-
ed. The ranchmen told Gen. Per-
shing that the Villa followers fed
in scattering bands of three to five
men before the negro cavalrymen.
In Former Battle.
Reports reaching here indicated
that the band encountered by the
American cavalryman was the larg-
est detachment of the force defeated
and scattered at Guerrero week ago
to-day by Col. Dodd's command.
These troops were said to have been
in the vicinity of Bachiniba Pass for
several days.
Two American scouts reported to
Gen. Pershing they had been fred
on by villa outposts last Friday
within the environs of Bachiniba and
that they had returned the fire. Two
troops of cavalry sent to the town TO
intercept the bandits reached there

MEXICAN SOIL.
ARE ON A HOT TRAIL
But First Chief" May Soon Con-
clude That The Trail Has
Become Cold.

Washington. April 6.-Attention
of administration officials was focus
ed today on the diplomatic aspects
of the American expedition into Mex
leo. News regarding military devel-
opments was lacking.
In some quarters there was
strong inclination to connect the de
facto governments apparent delay in
permitting the use of the rail-
roads for the shipment of supplies to
the United States forces with a de-
sire of General Carranza to have the
American soldiers leave Mexican
soil.
It is understood that Carranza off,
Gals on the border have made infor-
NAL inquiries as to how much longer
the expedition will remain in Mex
leo, and how far south it will pene-
trate.
Legally the American forces are
now pursuing what is termed "a hot
trail" No great surprise would be
occasioned here II Carranza should
suggest soon that the trail has be-
come cold and should question the
propriety of American troops pro-
ceeding much farther. Conflicting
reports regarding the use of the rail-
ways have been received here.
While the War Department was
without reports, indicating that Car
1arxa aathorities<e lJuarez have or
ders to accept shipments, at the State
Department 1t was understood that
such orders had been given.
Die a Natural Death.
Ell Paso, Tex, April 6.-The wild
stories of the massing of Mexican
troops in proximity to the border,
among the most popular yarns with
the alarmists. have apparently died
q natural death. The favorite num-
Der of troops so massed was 10000,
although enthusiasts were willing to
go as high as 100000. AS the most
authentic Information places the
numbert of troops that the de facto
government has in all Mexico be-
tween $4,000 and 10000, it was diff
ficult for the "rumoristas' to explain
where the Cohorts supposed to be in

cording to the most reliable data OBJ
tainable here, Gen. Gales has be-
tween 1000 and 5000 men in Sono-
ra. with whom he is planning opera
tons against the Yaqui Indians.
1t is more difficult to obtain de-
pendable information regarding
Northern Chihuahua, but the best
Informed Americans here do not be-
lieye that there are more than 1000
or 5000 troops in that district. In
this connection it is pointed out that
