General Villareal declared his inten. |
tion of assaulting the city with the '
least possible delay. He said he had
given his followers strict orders to
refrain as far as possible from the de-
struction of porperty and to protect
the lives of foreigners, but he feared
they would be gravely imperilled in
the attack on the city and the conse-
quent fighting in the streets. For this
reason he earnestly requested the
American authorities to take imme-
diate steps to remove all foreign resi-
dents from the place.
Up to the time of the dispatch of
Consul Miller's advices no definite ac-
tion had been taken on this request,
but Rear Admiral Frank F. Fletcher, !
commander of the United States fleet,
had made preparations to take all the
foreigners on board his vessels at a
moment's notice and to land marines
if it appeared advisable. i
It is understood that the captain of
the German cruiser Bremen conferred
with Rear Admiral Fletcher on the
question of landing marines and cour-
teously assured the American admiral
that he would act in harmony with
his desires.
U. S. Court to Rule on Thaw's Sanity.
Judge Edgar Aldrich ruled in Con-'
| cord, N. H., that the mental condi-
tion of Harry K. Thaw must be de- |
termined in the federal courts. The
court's announcement was made at |
the hearing on Thaw’s petition to be
admitted to bail.
“The constitutional questions involv-
ed in this case,” said Judge Aldrich, |
“are of such importance that I shall |
| not pass upon them myself, but shall |
' forward them as promptly as possible |
! to the supreme court of the Used |
| States.”
The constitutional questions are
concerned with Thaw's extradition, |
his status in New York and his status
in New Hampshire.

Huerta May Sue For Peace.
For the first time since the present
revolution in Mexico hegan a definite
wove is now under way by the Huerta
officials in Mexico City seeking to ar- |
bitrate with the rebels,
Authentic reports to this effect,
taken in connection with the imminent
chance of a bloody attack on Tam-
pico, and the overwhelming strength
of the rebels throughout the north,
indicate cicarly a panic on the part of
the government.

time, have steadfastly maintained that

It appears that Snyder and Stein-

Steinmetz, it is reported, started a
quarrel when they reached the Snyder
farm. Snyder told him to wait at the
barn until he went into the house to
get a lantern.
When Snyder came from the house
he found Steininetz standing about
shotgun in his hands. The farmer ask-

Steinmetz answered in a loud tone,

with a loss of $20,000.

her daughters and several ladies of |
the cabinet. She wore a most bacom-
ing brown costume.
During an intermission a woman in |
the adjoining box, who is one of the
recognized social leaders, leaned over
and spoke to Mrs. Wilson, and was
pverheard to say:
“yw well you are looking. If 1
looked as charming as you do in Jot
brown suit and hat, I would

Mrs. Wilson flushed and bit her lip,
put said nothing.
