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.
Huerta and his aides, up to this
time, have steadfastly maintained that

Slight hopes are entertained for the

others are hunting for Steinmetz.
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-
ed his hired man what he wanted to
do with the gun.
Steinmetz answered in a loud tone,

lives of nine monkeys in the shelter

| stove. The stove exploded, setting fire
with a loss of $20,000.

manifest everywhere. Nothing else has so arous-

Is not safe from the biting sarcasm of |
the plutocratic society leaders of
Washington.
At a conce*t Tuesday night aes. |

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.
