.PrEARAXCE IX WASHINGTON
riZZLES GOVERNMENT.
Ilondnran Situation Complicated by
Report That Estrada, Is Due
to Arrive, Also.
WASHINGTON. June 15. Senor Poll
carpo Honllla. once President of Hon
dutas. and acknowledged friend of Ze
laya, the deposed leader of Nicaragua,
came to Washington today on business
which he evidently did not care to
explain, for he gave the slip to the
Government asents who bad been sent
to watch him and appeared at none of
the place: where one may usually llnd
a Central American gentleman bent ou
a political mission.
Soon after Honllla arrived, the Cen
tral American colony heard that he
had come as an agent of the Clentlficos
party of Mexico, to oppose the rati
fication of the Honduran loan treaty.
It became apparent that Government
officials were more or less uneasy at
the turn of affairs when agents who
have been watching the Gulf Coast
reported that the plot waa thickening
In New Orleans and that Juan Estrada,
the man who ousted Zelaya. would ar
rive there today.
There la little that the agents of
this Government could dj other than
to discover revolutionary plans. If
there are any. and see that no lolatlon
of the neutrality laws occur.
AUTOS REPAIRED BY NAVY
Charge That Officers Got Work Be
low Cot Subject of Inquiry.
WASHINGTON. June IS. L'se of the
shop of the Washington Navy Yard by
officers for the repairing of their auto
mobiles and motor boats Is be'ng in
vestigated by the House committee on
expenditures In the Navy IVpartment.
Tho committee has learned that such
repairs have been made In many In
stances and Secretary of the Navy
Meyer told the committee today that
it had been the custom to make such
repairs at cost.
i"I think It right to say." said Chair
man Hardy, of the committee, "that
there Is an intimation that the store
keeper at the Navy Yard has utilised
the labor of Government employea and
Government materials In making such
repairs, far In excess of the deposits
made by officers to cover the costs, and
the matter may become the subject of
Investigation."
Secretary Meyer said that the Depart
ment would be glad to co-operate with
the committee In the Inquiry.
BOUNDARY REP0RT FAILS
Neither I'nltcd States Nor Mexico
Willing to Accept Decision.
WASHINGTON, June 15. The. Inter
national Boundary Commission banded
down lis decision In the Chamlral xone
boundary dispute today and it la re
garded a failure of the tribunal. The
I'nlted States Commissioners have dis
sented and the Mexicans have done
likewise.
In subsUnce. the Commissioners
found that up to a certain point, the
lands on the El Paso side of the river
grew by accretion but that at any
portod there was a sudden cut-off by
the river of a considerable portion of
Mexican territory. The lands gathered
by accretion belong to America: the
lands suddenly cut off from Mexico be
long to the latter country. It Is be
lieved to be imioylble to draw the
line between the two and the whole
ca.ie mu.tt be relegated to diplomatic
adjustment.

victim of fate, who died a few mo
ments before a pardon arrived.
According to Redo, a spirit of re
venge harbored by some of the victor
ious rebel chieftains at Cullacan caused
them to violate a pledge to safeguard
the lives of Morelos and his Lieutenant,
Major Del CoraL At the last moment
the Insurrecto firing squad hesitated
and Morelos directed the details of his
own execution.
"There was no false bravery In Col
onel Morelos," said Redo. "He per
mitted the bandage to be bound over
his eyes and stood waiting for the vol
ley of bullets. There was some delay.
The squad of men assigned to the duty
of executing was unused to such a
scene. Colonel Morelos. knowing there
was some confusion, raised his hand
and removed the bandage.
"There is no necessity for making a
mistake here.' he said to the com
manding officer. 'Order the crowd
away, select a certain number of men as
your firing squad and then direct them
to fire as you drop your saber. Why
should my body be filled full of bul
lets by Indiscriminate firing when one.
or three, or alx will do the workr
"Having so Instructed the officer.
Colonel Morelos dropped the bandage
over his eyes again, placed his two
hands upon his breast and said:
" Tin ready.'
"A moment later came the orders
from headquarters for the preservation
of Colonel Morelos" life. But it was
too late."
FOIR OUTBREAKS I'XCKCSHED
Demonstration In Jalisco Mainly
Against Foreigners.
MEXICO CITY. June 16. From four
widely-separated points In the Repub
lic came news today of disturbances of
a revolutionary character. This in
formation has served to embarrass the
federal government.
At the National Palace the import
ance of the events was minimised, but
there appeared to be no doubt that the
disturbances reflect a spirit of unrest
and that the return of Madero will be
welcomed.
The disorders reported were in the
states of Tabasco. Jalisco. Vera Crus
and Mexico. There appears to be no
connection between them whatever.
That In the State of Jalisco was due
to dissatisfaction on the part of the
Indians living near Lake Chapsla- It
is a minor anti-foreign movement
directed against German and American
farmers.
The Indians in ISIS threatened to
expel the foreigners and resume control
of the lands held by their forebears be
fore subdued by the Spaniards.
Certain of the foreigners were noti
fied yesterday by a body of 50 armed
men that three days would be given
them to vacate their property and that
if they remained at the end of that
time they would be driven out by
force. Alarmed by . this threat, a few
of the farmers have sent their families
to Ocotlan. where they will remain
pending developments.
The disturbance in the State of Vera
Crus was occasioned by a small body of
Insurrectos who declined to give up
their arms and return to their homes.
They are reported to have taken pos
session of Acuayucsn. a small village
close to the southern border.
In the State of Tabasco a plot of
revolutionary character was discovered
In the town of Comalaco. Prisoners
declared they had been asked to Join
in a new movement against the government.
AMERICAN KILLED IN ALAMO

WASHINGTON. June 15. Two Amcr.

have been killed In Alamo. Mex.. and
Mr. Sawdat. the American Vice-Consul

the State Department, adds that there
Is dangerous turbulence at Ensenada.
The Vice-Consul says the Mexicans
causing the trouble were to a sreat
extent recru'ted in the United States,
some being reported to be naturalized

Tl.e State Department has reminded
the Mexican government that some time
ago it gave permission for Mexican
troops to cross American territory with
a view to the restoration of peace and
order in Lower California, and that It
is now depending on Mexico to make
these outrages impossible.

STEAMPFcuf RATES
RAILROAD SUNDAY SCHOOL
BUSINESS CAPTURED.
Excursion Advertised for Seven Car
loads Is Reduced to On by
Competition.
LOS ANGELES, June 15. (Special.)
There Is a lively railroad-steamship
rate war between this city and San
Francisco. When the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company announced its round
trip rate of $18.70 for the International
Sunday School Convention and arranged
for seven special trains the Pacific
Navigation Company, operating the fast
Yale and Harvard, came dowi)to $10
and took away enough passengers to
leave the railroad only one train load.
That Is the direct reason for the South
ern Pacific's announcement yesterday
of a $10 round trip fare..
This carried a 15-day limit, while the
steamship limit Is 29 days, and the run
ning time nearly as good. The South
ern Pacific is preparing for a tremend
ous rush, and the Pacific Navigation
Company is taxing every facility.
There Is a possibility that it may go
after further traffic with a still lower
rate, though none has been announced.
The Pan Francisco & Portland and
Pacific Coast Steamship Companies are
not participating, but if the fight is
carried on to any considerable length
It Is believed that they must get In for
self-protection.

FORESTS TO BE DIVIDED

Aid In 'Management.
WASHINGTON. June 15. A number
of the larger National Forests are be
ing divided. This is to permit of the r
more efficient management. The di
visions will be set apart as separate
forests. Several proclamations already

rying out the changes and it is ex
pected that by July 1 11 new forests
will have been created.
These, with the exception of a few
additions and eliminations, will be es
tablished out of 50 existing forests.
To Parents
of Growing
Girls
Perhaps you have already
noticed that your daughter
has developed a fitful tem
per, is restless and excitable.
Observation will doubtless
show j-ou that she is pale,
fppls tired out after slight
exercise, complains of headaches and backaches. If so do
not disregard these symptoms. Your daughter needs help,
for she is anaemic that is, bloodless.
Anaemia, or bloodlessness, is one of the most common
and dangerous diseases from which growing girls suffer.
It is common because the blood so often becomes impov
erished during the time when girls are too frequently al
lowed to overstudv, overwork and suffer from lack of ex
ercise. It is dangerous because of the stealthiness of its
approach, often being well developed before its presence
is recognized, and because of its tendency to grow so stead
ily worse, if not promptly checked, that it may run into
consumption.
Mrs. W. M. Lynn, of East Auburn, Cal., tells of herure as follows: "When
I was in mv seventeenth year," she says, "I seemed to break down com
pletely. I had hradaohes every day. My back ached a great deal. I was
rale and thin and didn't have ambition to do anything. My home was in
Orland and I was treated by a doctor for about two months. He did not
help me at all and I gave up his treatment to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
They helped me from the first and a few boxes completely cured me. I
have been well ever since."
Parents of girls who go into decline while in their
"teens" should not neglect the first warning symptoms.
To insure healthful development steps must be taken at
orice to build up the blood. The experience of hundreds
has proved that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
are the best medicine for this purpose. They are a certain
blood builder and strengthen and give health to the entire
body.
A valuable booklet. "Diseases
of the Blood." "containing: help
ful Information will be sent upon
request.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are
sold by all druggists, or will be
sent, postpaid, on receipt of price,
50 cents per box: six boxe. $2.50,
by the Ir. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady. N. T.
principally in Oregon. Idaho. Montana
and Northern California.

tended to all the large forests.
