DIAZ IS KEENLY ON ALERT Sends More Troops to Disturbed Xorthern Stat9 and May Call Orf Meeting With Taft Till Trouble Is Ended. MEXICO CITT, Aug. 21. Word reached her after midnight tonight that the cen tral portion of the City of Monterey is burning- and that the Federal telegraph office la on fire. All telegraphic communi cation between Monterey and this city and Laredo baa been cut off. It is not known whether the fire has any connection with the political dis turbance t Monterey, but the fact that it started In the wholesale drugstore owned by the son of General Trevtno, commander of the Monterey military aone and the opponent of General Reyes, is considered significant. The operators in the Monterey telegraph offices bravely stuck to their posts until the flames reached the second story, when they were forced to abandon their keys. The last word was that the bank of Neuvo Leon was threatened by the fast spreading fire. There is absolutely no communication with the north now. Mut-h uneasiness is felt here that the fire may have grave political significance. DIAZ SENDS TROOPS XOItTII Keeps Che Watch on Affairs and May 'ot Meet Toft. GALVESTON. Tex.. Aug. 51. (Spe cial.) A special dispatch from Mexico I says that three more regiments or i troops, two cavalry and one infantry. I have been ordered north under sealed ; orders, but presumably to the border states, making Ave regiments irom tne southern districts to be ordered north within the past five days. In army circles it is admitted that the situation Is becoming extremely llBTUrumg HI m DU. iiivju eaii..i, vcy- cially in the states of Nuevo Leon and Coahulla. although the War Depart ment declares emphatically that it is more than able to cope with any revo lutionary disturbance, and that the mobilization and shifting of troops is solely in the Interest of precautionary measures. Even Loyal Chihuahua Shaky. Even from the state of Chihuahua considered overwhelmingly for the Diaz administration and peace, comes a re port that Reyes adherents there are quietly organizing and fomenting trouble. Evidently President Diaz views the situation as critical and. while assuring those to whom he gives audience that he anticipates no uprising, he shows by his actions that he is watching every detail of the Var Department and per sonally issuing instructions to the gov ernment's agents througnout the Re public. May Not Meet Taft. To a delegation Of Mexican Amerl cans who called to extend an invita tion to htm to visit Texas and other states. If possible, this Fall. General Diaz expressed a fear that he would not be able to leave the Republic, at least for some months. He said he had hoped to have the honor of meeting President Taft, but that he doubted very gravely if he would be afforded the pleasure. General Diaz explained smilingly that It was not a question of getting Con gress permission, but matters of state would require his presence at the capital. NOSE DARES CRY "VIVA REYES' Birthday of Northern Leader Has Sad Celebration. MONTEREY, Mexico, Aug. 21. (Spe ckd.) General Reyes' birthday celebra tion here passed off like a Summer s dream, the firm hand of General Tre- vlno keeping the situation so thoroughly in check that not a voice dared raise the cry of "Viva Reyes," and altogether it was a sad affair. A big electric sign bearing the name Reyes ' over the bandsatnd where a hired band played was the only celebra tion. Two blocks away the regular mili tary band concert was in progress. Cabinet Place for Creel. MEXICO CITT. Aug. 21. It is ru mored here that Enrique C. Creel, ex Ambassador to the I'nlted States and at present Governor of the State of Chi huahua, has been offered a cabinet posi tion by President Diaz. THAW DENIED FOOD THIEVES DETECT THIEVES Imprisoned Pittsbury Bankers Find Fraud in Penitentiary. " PITTSBURG, Aug. 21. Discovery has been made, it is alleged, of a deficit of tS2,0Q0 by a board of auditors appointed to fix the financial status, of the Western Penitentiary. The investigation was started after-a re-.ent change of administration and was conducted by a numbor of prominent bankers now serving time In the institution Mother of Prisoner Charges Authorities Seek Revenge. NOT ALLOWED PRIVILEGES Mrs. Tlmw Says Harry Ill-Treated but Asylum Officials Reply That He Is Treated Exactly Like the Other Inmates. MATTEAWAN, N. T.. Aug. 2L Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, mother of Harry Kendall Thaw, today made public a state ment criticising the treatment accorded to her son in the Matteawan State Hos pital for the Criminal Insane since his return to that Institution by order of Justice Mills. Mrs. Thaw said not only that the com forts accorded to her son when he was first sent to the asylum were not re stored after his return, but that he had been denied privileges he enjoyed for 18 months while in the asylum. Dr. Lamo, superintendent of the hospital, Mrs. Thaw states, when asked uie reason for the discontinuance of the privileges to her son, answered that what had been done for him was not appreciated. Mrs. Thaw says: Special Food Denied. "Even the privilege is denied me of giving my boy the whites of eggs ana orange juice prescribed for him by his physicians and which heretofore I have given each afternoon when I made my visit. For the first time In these IS months they have denied him the privilege of playing the piano. He is locked up in the bare cell, which I described In court, at 8 o'clock, although other patients, some of whom do not work, are allowed to remain up until 9 o'clock. 'Yesterday my son had nothing what ever to eat from 6:15 In fhe morning to 6:45 in the evening, because a lawyer came to see him at noon, the dinner hour. Even the keepers wished to get him something to eat,' but Dr. Baker gave special Instructions that they should give him nothing during this 11 hours . of starvation. Thaw Says Revenge. 'The reason was given that what they had done was not 'appreciated much when we went to court. To this Harry replied: 'Dr. Lamb, I treated both you and Dr. Baker much better in court than you do- served, as you know, when testifying. So this must be revenge for what my mother said." 'Dr. Jdmb made no denial. We asked Dr. Lamb more than once if he had any further reason except revenge toward me, i and the desire to enfeeble my son's health so that he would not be able to testify the next time, as he had when opposed to Mr. Jerome at the last hearing. Dr. Lamb could give no other reason for this infamous conduct." Treated Same as Others. Superintendent Lamb, of the Mattea wan Asylum said today concerning maws treatment at the hospital: "When all arguments are made, the question remaining for final settlement is: Shall Harry Thaw submit to the same treatment and accept the same privileges as are accorded all other patients at the Matteawan State Hospital, or shall he have all changed so as to suit his pecu liar wisnes? "At no time during his residence in the hospital has he suffered any privation whatever. In fact, every time Mr. Thaw has left this institution to take up tem porary jau residences and there In measure follow his own rules and in clinations, he has lost weight, only to regain it on his return to our institution Protest Proves Thaw Crazy. "The visiting privileges to Mrs. Thaw have been more liberal than J ho could gain in any other state institution that I know of. It is to be regretted that dif ferences have arisen, but the medical of ficers here can scarcely concede to any patient the sole right of prescribing for himself his own medicine, diet and rules of conduct. "It Is for lack of reason and judgment that Thaw Is here. It is for lack of rea son and judgment that he makes no ef fort to adjust himself to conditions that are by no means unfair or unjust."

I Buell, right-of-way agent of the Southern Pacific Company, who was here two years ago securing a route for the proposed railroad from Eureka to Portland, Or., along the coast, has written that he will return about Sep tember 1 to resume this work. Numerous deeds of rights-of-way for this line northward from Eureka have recently been filed for record here, and it is understood the route has been se cured for practically the entire dis tance between here and the Oregon line.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. ZL (Special.) The chairman of the Democratic central committee was today ordered to pay 208 to two bands for parading the streets and playing "The Conquering Hero Comes" last election night. The paean was Intended for William Jennings Bryan, but Bryan was not the hero. The band leader did not know or care who the conquering hero was, and he has been trying to get his money ever since election day. Albert M. Norton, the chair man, forgot to countermand the order when he found that Bryan was not the conquering hero, as he was busy with grief. Norton's lawyer trie to shift the debt to the Democratic party. "Where is that Democratic party T asked the lawyer for the band. "Like the snowflakes on the rrver a moment seen and then gone" remarked Judge Pieroe, Btentoriously. When court opened this morning the case was first on the docket. 'Glenn against Norton et aX, called the court. I presume that et al. means that which 1s left of the Democratic' party," the Judge added by way of ex planation, at which spectators laughed. and numerous persons who were prepar ing to leave the room settled back In their seats in hope of enjoying a morn ing's entertainment at the expense of Democrats. Just to enliven the proceedings the court suggested that "quite a number of people were In court today to view the remains of Democracy." JAUREZ OPPOSES STOCKS French Socialist Does Not Want Steel on Paris Bourse. PARIS. Aug. 21. The Humanite to day published an article Dy M. Jaurez, he Socialist leader in the Chamber of Deputies, in which the writer explains his proposal to interpellate the gov ernment regarding the proposition to quote officially in France American peculative stocks, but notably the common stock of the United States Steel Corporation. This interpellation will come up In October. M. Jaurez charges that under the guise of obtaining for France the mini mum rates under the new American tariff, the French government contem plates permitting the listing of Steel common on the Paris Bourse. This, he contends, is a result of the raid on French savings by American speculat ors, who long have been anxious to get access to French money. Irrespective of. the chances of heavy losses through speculative investment, which M. Jaurez considered likely, he In sists that the policy of allowing French money to go abroad to Russia and other foreign countries, is wrong, as this money is needed in France for the development of French industries and the amelioration of social conditions. He declared that the settlement of the tariff differences be tween the two countries, should be in ac cordance with the Interests of the states, Irrespective of outside considerations. In connection with the above, it Is semi officially denied in Paris today that the question of this listing of the shares of the United States Steel Corporation ever has been the subject of negotiation be tween France and America. son.
