so AMERICANS SLAIN
IN MEXICO SINCE 1916
Ambassador Fletcher Says Hot
a Prosecution Was Made.

Washington, July 23.-Henry P.
Fletcher, American ambassador to
Mexico, told the house rules commit
tee that since his appointment three
years ago about fifty Americans had
been killed in Mexico without single
prosecution being made by the Mexi-
can authorities.
Replying to questions by Chairman
Campbell, Ambassador Fletcher said
withdrawal of recognition of the Car
rama government by the United
States would only increase the tur-
moil in the southern republic. He
added hat he did not know of any
revolutionary movement capable of
establishing a permanent government.
Ambassador Fletcher said he had
not noticed, any special anti-American
feeling in Mexico and explained that
the presence of more United States
citizens than other foreigners prob
ably accounted for the greater num-
ber Of outrages affecting Americans.
The ambassador was summoned be-
fore the committee in connection with
resolution introduced by Represen-
tative Gould, Republican, of New
York, proposing appointment of a
joint congressional committee to in
vestigate relations between this coun-
try and Mexico.

went to AnderSOnyille the other day

with Indignation.
The intimation that a cloud burst

who saw the spring running in all

chosen because Of the fresh water.

Mr. Childress knows of the fact that
Major Wirz would have been given
his liberty if he had revealed the
Whereabouts Of President Davis of
the COnfederacy. That test was put to
him and he chose to die rather than
bctray his leader. Major Wirz was a
Swede, but fine man. Mr.. Childress
declares.
Mr.. Childress says the prisoners
got as good as the Confederacy could
give as provisions and none of them
suffered from hunger or thirst. Only
one man was shot during the eXis-
tenCe of the prison and this was a
CRAY prisoner trying to escape and
whose mental condition was not
known to the guard who shot him.

We've been waiting for you a long,

And each one said, I'VE were looking

The honey bees swarmed round the

Each petal whispered You're, every

The fresh bunny suckle looked to see
The happy return of the bumblee blee
And the white lilly lifted up its head,
AS twas from it's cup the humming
bird fed.
Ard the joyful chirp of the birds was
heard;
With a grand eXpanse till the heart
was stirred
And the welkin echoed, from far and

With the gladest refrain, that Spring
is here!"
Awake! Awake! O, Easter morn
AS buds and bIoasomsN the earth

While frangrant incense now distills.
And every heart with rapture thrills.
Awake! Thou Saviour of mankind,
In whom eternal life doth find;
Shine forth thou Son of righteousness;
The worlds remotest bounds to bless
Thou art not holden Of the grave
Foretels thy matchless power to save.
Let every soul thy name confess,
And seek thy face in righteousness.
Awake! Awake! O. Easter morn;
