her home, Davenport, after the house
had started to burn, presumably from
a match having been dropped in an
upholstered chair, Mrs. William Arp.
so years old, was nearly overcome by
smoke before she was forcibly taken
out of doors by firemen. She was
taken to the home of a neighbor where
she is being cared for. Her condition
is not serious.
Mrs. Arp lives alone in the house
and is said to be a very eccentric
character. Several pieces Of furniture
weer destroyed in the home and the
house damaged slightly. When fire.
men found Mrs, Arp she was wander
ing aimlessly about the room as il she
was lost When they asked her to
come out Of doors she ran to her chair
and emphatically declared that she
would not move. Efforts are being
made to have her sent to the home OF
her daughter, who lives out Of the
city.

MEXICO ExPLAINs CAUSE

General Canaddio Aguilar, minister Of

tonight for the announced purpose OF
avoiding a misinterpretation Of Mexi.
co.'s action. The statement follows:
1.-THE president OF the republic and
the cabinet at special meeting decid,
ed that 1t was an imperative necessity
resentative to Cuba and to suspend tor
an indefinite period the sending of q
new representative because 1t was
considered IN indispensable measure
for the high ideals and interests Of the
two nations In the actual moments OF
an acute world crisis. The state OF
waf in which Cuba Ia involved has
Obliged the government of Cuba to
dictate measures which in many cases
AFFECT the interests Of the Mexican
government and her citizens and for
this reason the Mexican legation
would be called upon to make frequent
representations to the Cuban govern.
ment which would only be useless and
which would restrict the liberty OF
action of friendly nation which is
now in an afflicted situation.
ASKS FAIR TREATMENT
I'm consequence our diplomatic eff
forts would not produce at this time
any practical results and would only
produce tension in our relations which
would have to be cleared up later ia
maintain unbroken the fraternal senti
ments Of solidarity which have always
bound US to.the people of Cuba and all
Latin.American countries.
Mexico, upon recalling her diplo
matte representatives from Cuba
gives eloquent proof of her considera
ton and respect for the sovereignty
OF a friendly government which is now
passing through . critical period A,
