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.

GALVESTON. Tex.. Aug. 51. (Spe

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

ment declares emphatically that it is

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.

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'

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

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."

Right-of-Way Agent Will Renew

ECREKA, Cal.. Aug. 21. (Special.)
J. 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. With each deed are filed agree
ments that the route can be changed to
some other portion of the grantor's land
if necessary.
The surveyors now engaged on the
extension of. the California Northwest

DEMOCRATS LOSE IN SUIT
Musicians Who Played for Bryan
Awarded Money, Even Though
Bryan Never Came to Be
Serenaded by Them.
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.
