Huerta Says Disregard Amer
ican Warships.
MAKES DEMAND ON WILSON.
Insists That Present "Actions" Must
Be Changed United States' Officer
Stops Wholesale Execution of
Prisoners Reports Rebels at
Tampico Repulsed.
CHIEF FEATURES OF
THE REBEL ATTACK.
The Mexican war office reports
that 800 rebels have been killed In
the rout of their forces by the fed
erals at Tampico. It Is declared
that the rebels were caught oft
their guard by two gunboats co-operating
with tho land forces.
Vera Cruz reports deny this. There
It Is reported the rebels have been
ri'-enforced by 3,000 men and had
much the better of the situation.
Hear Admiral Fletcher reports
that both sides have ruthlessly slain
all prisoners. He ordered tho atroc
ities stopped after the rebels hang
ed slxty-tlve unarmed men.
The rear admiral reports that BOO
Americans have fled to the Amer
ican war vessels In the Panuco river.
Mexico will protest to Washing
ton against the action of Rear Ad
miral Fletcher In forcing both sides
to suspend hostilities. It Is charged
ho aided tho robe's by Indicating
federal positions with his search
lights and preventing the landing
of federal supplies.
Spanish refugees from Chihuahua
say that fleneral Villa has threat
ened to drive out all Germans next
and then Americans. Tho proper
ty of tho Spaniards Is being confis
cated. The American consul at Acapulco,
on the west coast, has asked for a
warship, reporting that Americans
are In peril there.
Mexico City, Dec. 15. General
Iluertn Is prepared to defy the Amor
lean government further thnn ho lias
done before. Ho has Issued orders to
tho commanders of tho little Mexican
gunboats at Tampico 'to disregard In
tho future the orders given by Rear
Admiral Fletcher, regardless of conse
quences, even though such nctlon
would amount to virtual suicide.
From high authority It was learned
that the Iluertn government will send
a protest to Washington declaring that
Hear Admiral Fletcher's attitude at
Tampico "must" be changed.
it is charged hero by the government
that the Americun commander tried to
prevent the Mexican gunboats from
co-operating with tho land forces; that
on Friday he swung . his warships
across the mouth of tho Panuco river,
delaying tho gunboat Vera Cruz from
landing men and supplies and blocking
tlio movement of tho other Mexican
vessels.
It is also declared by the govern
ment that the rear admiral played his
searchlights ashoro in such a way that
nil tho federal positions were picked
out to the advantage of the rebels.
The Iluertn government will put for-
ward tho statement that the acts of
the American commander are evidence
that Intervention has practically taken
piaco at Tampico, and an explanation
will be demanded of Washington.
Rebels Reported Fleeing.
Both sides have executed their pris
oners of war, according to dlspntches
sent to Washington by Rear Admiral
Fletcher. Tho most authentic dis
patches from Tampico show that tho
rebels have been re-enforced by 3,000
men and that the fall of the city is
Imminent. Despite tills tho war office
has Issued a report of nn overwhelm
ing rebel rout, In which tho rebels lost
BOO men.
The war office declares that General
Rabago, in command of tho federal
forces, reports that a heavy and sus
tained bombardment by the gunboats
and the federal artillery resulted in tho
complete rout of tho rebels, with great
slaughter.
Tho rebel forces, according to this
announcement, are In full llight toward
Metoria, with General Rabago's cav
alry harrying their rear. The war of
fice declares that the gunboats Bravo
and Zaragoza were sent down tho river
toward Arbol Brando and Dona Ce
cilia. These two places have been
points of great activity by the rebels
for several days. Tho troops in the
city wero ordered to co-operato with
the gunboats from tho land side.

BELIEVES DAUGHTER DEAD.
Father of McCann Girl Says She Would
Have Written.
Xow York, Dec. 15. Dismayed by
the futility of his search and the bar
renness of every clew reported to him,
Boliert G. McCann, father of Miss
Jessie Kvelyn McCann, the socinl
worker and teacher who has been
missing more than a week from her
Flatbush home, is convinced that she
Is dead and Is spending most of his
time walking up nnd down the shore
front at Coney Island in the expecta
tion of seeing tho waves cast her body
on land.
Although pictures of the girl will be
thrown on moving picture screens in
nil of the eastern states In nn effort to
find her, the father Is not in the least
encouraged and doubts If these new
means of trying to find her will avail,
lie is certain, he said, if his daughter
wore alive that she would not remain
silent so long. Ho is positive that she
would have written, knowing how
much he and her mother worry.
Wendell Squires, the suitor of the
girl, who has kept up n continuous
search since she disappeared, said that
ho is ready to marry Miss McCann if
she Is found.

shots sounded, followed by curses nnd
screams. IIo alighted to Investigate.

G. 0. P. ATCAP1TAL
Republicans iVteot In Wash
ington Tomorrow.
TO REHABILITATE THE PARTY.
Expect Special Conference of National
Committee to Result In an Amicable
Adjustment Wido Differences of
Opinion on Proposed Ideas.
Washington, Dec. 15. Republican
lenders came trooping Into Washington
from nil parts of tho country to attend
the special meeting of the national
committee hero tomorrow.
This is tho meeting which will decide
on plnns for the reorganization of the
Republican party and which is likely
to prove one of the most Important
meetings ever held by that body.
The lobby of tho New Wlllard hotel,
where the committee will meet, was
thronged with Republican leaders and
Republican members of congress.
Every national committeeman seem
ed to have an Idea of his own on reor
ganization, and no two agreed in de
tail. Regarding the question of a can
didate in 1010 no committeeman has
yet appeared with the temerity to in
ject that issue into tho present sea of
trouble.
Tho differences of opinion In regard
to the advisability of calling a Repub
llcan national convention next summer
are so marked that the meeting may
be full of controversy.
Special Convention Expected.
The Impression is growing, however,
that those who favor such a move
finally will have their way and that a
nroclomatlon will be issued calling an
extraordinary convention to adopt a
new basis of representation that will
reduce the Influence of the southern
states in party councils.
This proposal will be the most Im
portant to be considered by the com
mittee. It Is bitterly condemned by
ruanj' regular leaders and viewed with
suspicion by others, but the indications
now are that it will have tho support
of a majority of the committee.
The so called progressive faction of
tho party, including Senator Cummins
of Iowa, Insists that the party must re
organize by reducing southern repre
sentation In convention if It Is to avert
another row such as that which result
ed In the Roosevelt bolt of 1012.
To this contention some of the regu
lars subscribe, but others show their
teeth, apparently because they believe
it is h decided concession to the so
called progressives.
On the other hand, fear was express
ed by many Republicans who have ar
rived that n rfpeelal convention may do
more harm than good. They feared
that It would lead to further contro
versies which will only reopen the
wound in tho Republican party and
undo the good effects of the events of
tho last few months.
Tho Republicans who are opposing
the convention Insisted that the hope
of the party lies' in the effect of the
Democratic program of legislation upon
the country and that the lapse of time
surely will bring a solidification of the
Republican ranks.
They expressed fear that the repre
sentatives ot tho party when assem
bled in n special national convention
might recklessly commit themselves to
a program which would not nt all fit
tho conditions that might be confront
ing the country In 1010.
The southern committeemen will
fight the convention plan from tho
drop of the hnt. They realize that If
such a gathering Is called the south
will bo n loser politically. If thej fall
to defeat the resolution providing for
a special convention tho southern con
tingent will make a strong effort to fix
the date of the gathering ns far In tho
future us possible.
ANOTHER NEEDLE VICTIM.
Heavy Coat Is Believed to Have Saved
Girl.
Now York, Doc. 15. Tho four doc
tors who examined Miss Elizabeth
Donnelly after sho fainted on the
steps of the Lincoln hospital at Con
cord avenue and East One Hundred
nnd Forty-first' street, tho Bronx, are
convinced that she waB tho victim of
a real attempt at poisoning by needle
Jobbing, although no traces of any poi
son wore discovered.
If there was any poison In the In
strument used by tho well dressed
young man who followed Miss Donnel
ly on and off an elevated train and
two trolley cars before accosting her
tho fact that sho had on a heavy chin
chilla coat over her dress saved her
from worse effects. !

all his valuables. It was nearly an
hour after Mundny had been trussed

Camp No. 10G, U. S. Pa.
Dear Sir:
I am writing you to-day, as Secre
tary of your Sportsmen's Organiza
tion, and desire to call your attention
to a matter that seems to us to be of
vital importance to the welfare of
game, and, therefore, to all Sports
men. I refer to the feeding of our
wild game, especially birds, during
tho Winter months. During the past
several years I have been collecting
data relative to tho possibilities of
artificial game production and propa
gation; I have written to those in
authority in almost every State in
this Union; I have written to many
individuals; I have visited various
game farms, both public and private,
and while I am compelled to recog
nize the fact that game of various
kinds can be produced upon the game
farms, I am satisfied the cost of pro
duction in this way far exceeds any
hopo of return. I have collected
data that beyond question satisfies
me that neither the Rlngneck pheas
ant nor the Hungarian quail is a
"hudder"; that is, can secure their
food from the tree tops as do our
native grouse, when the ground is
covered with ice and snow. I am
convinced that these birds must be
cared for artificially during tho win
ter timo If we hope to preserve them;
I am satisfied that in many ways
they are not to be compared with our
native birds with our grouse or our
wild turkeys, or with our quail.
The Game Commission is satisfied
that far more good will come to the
state and to the Sportsmen through
the maintenance and care of our
native birds than can bo secured in
any other way, and with that end In
view, I ask your organization to help
tho officer In your district to locate
coveys of quail after the close of the
season, bunches of wild turkeys or of
grouse, so that they may bo fed dur
ing tho coming storms of winter.
Our officer is instructed to get In
touch with your organization regard
ing this matter and I hope you will
understand that we are trying to help
you and that In turn you will do
what you can to help us help you.
We will pay for feed, but the limit
ed funds at our command will not
justify tho employment of agents to
feed tho birds. This feeding, if pos
sible, must bo done through organi
zations. Kindly let this offlco hear
from you regarding this matter.
Respectfully yours,
JOSEPH KALBFUS,
Secretary, Game Commission.
