teen troopers OF tho Seventh cavalry
were fired upon yesterday near the
town of Tcmosachic and one was
wounded. The attack Is ascribed TO
bandits hiding about bridge near
the town. which Is a few miles SOUTH
east OF MADEIRA, on the Mexico North
western railroad.
After few shots the Mexicans fled
and the Americans continued on their
way
A small group of Mexicans Is falling
In behind the American columns as
they move northward, always keeping
out of sight but telling the natives
that they are chasing the "gringoes'

ever the Americans halt and hide or
disarm II General Pershing's men ap-
proach them
Two supposltlons are prevalent re-
garding the identity OF these men. One
is that they are Carrancistas trying TO
give the American movement the ap-
pearance OF a retreat. Tho other is
that they are bandits, seeking to an
noy the Americans by sniping. The
latter conjecture rs tho more fa-
vored.

which recent editions of the San

According to the San Francisco Ex-
aminer of May II, the English Coyet
Isles as Potash Source while the
San Francisco Call of the previous
day declares in its headlines, "Ha-
walls Bananas to Make Wars Big

states: .....
THE munitions factories have
turned their attention to the Hawai-
ian Islands as a possible source of
supply of one of the most necessary
constituents Of explosives.
Recent investigation by British
chemists has shown that the stalk Of
the banana plant is rich in potash.
The supply of potash has been found
inadequate since the present war. 49,.
AS d consequence the Du Pont
Powder Company, after experiments,
has appropriated $4,000,000 for the
building of crafts to cut kelp and for
machinery to treat it. kelp cutters
despatched from San Francisco al
ready are working along the Califor-
MIA coast "
"a chemist SAD to have been sent
by the British government arrived at
Honolulu a month ago and made ex'
tensive analyses of the banana plant.
He found that ton of dried stalks
will yield 1873 pounds containing more
than l3 per cent of potash. This is
as rich as kainit, the natural salt
from which potash usually is obtained
in Germany" =

Examiner, has its eyes on the Hawai-
ian Islands as 1, possible source of
supply of potash Tor use in the manu-
facture of explosives, according to
