Americans in Mexico Cut Off by
Insurrecto Band.
Trains Derailed, Bridget Burned,
Pxteengere Sent Back—Cana
nea Believed in Peril.
Cheyenne, Wyo.—One detachment
of the Ninth cavalry, under orders for
the Mexican border, left here at 6 :30
Sunday night.
Other detachments
will leave shortly.
Junction City, Kan.—Final orders
directing the Thirteenth cavalry to
proceed to the Mexican border were
received Sunday by Colonel Charles
Hatfield, commander of the regiment.
The regiment, nearly 1000 men, and
a machine gun platoon, will leave
Fort Riley in a few days for K1 Paso.
Naco, Ariz.—Mexican rebels have
cut all traffic and communication be
tween here and Cananea, Sonora,
Mexico, where about 500 Americans
reside. Shortly afterward a passen
ger train arrived here carrying 500
rifles and 150,000 rounds of ammuni
tion, sent by the United States gov
ernment from the arsenal at Fort Sam
Houston, San Antonio, Tex., to arm
the American residents in Cananea.
The rebels cut the railway in an at
tempt to prevent the shipment of arms
from reaching the Americans at Ca
nanea. The passenger train for Ca
nanea was captured by rebels a few
miles south of the international line,
the engine was derailed and the pas
sengers allowed to coast back into the
United States on a passenger coach
down the grade.
Six bridges were
burned.
Care had been taken to conceal the
identity of the shipment |of arms, but
news that the Americans of Cananea
had requested Washington authorities
to send them arms for self-protection,
and that the request had been granted
is believed to have become known
among the rebel chiefs operating in
this vicinity.
Not only are American lives be
lieved to be in danger as a result of
recent operations by the rebels, but
tbe mines must close for lack of fuel
within a few days, mining engineers
state.
Cananea is one of the most exten
sive copper mining centers in the
world, and the Cananea Copper com
pany is the richest corporation of its
kind in Mexico. The railway destroy
ed by rebels runs from a point on the
American border to Cananea, and is a
part of the Southern Pacific of Mexico
system.
In Cananea are about 500 American
men and about 50 American women.
About 100 of these are American cow
boys from surrounding ranches. Re
cent threats of rebel leaders to attack
Cananea now are now taken seriously
here, in view of the late develop
ments.
PLAGUE STOPS FARM WORK.
Kansas Farmers Without Horses Can
not Get Fall Plowing Done.
Topeka, Kan.—Farm work is going
undone in Western Kansas for lack of
horses killed by the plague. Crops
remain ungathered and fall plowing is
weeks behind. On many farms all
the horses have died.
Until experts
ascertain a remedy for the disease,
farmers are unwilling to purchase
more horses.
The disease is rapidly spreading
eastward, according to reports receiv
ed by J. II. Mercer, state livestock
commissioner.
Mercer sent out a warning that
horses all over the state should be
kept off pastures and given no water
except from wells. The streams and
ponds are said by the experts to
swarm with diplococci, a variety of
which causes meningitis.
Nitrate Supply Limited,
New York—There will be no ammu
nition for British guns in time of war
should Great Britain’s enemy cut off
her supply of nitrates from Chile, ac
cording to a declaration made by Colo
nel Samuel Eyde, of Christiana. Nor
way, before the eighth inteinational
chemical congress at Columbia Uni
versity “ Nitrate of ammonia pro
duced from atmospherice nitrogen is

of the British navy has a great bear
ing upon the life of the guns, the pur
ity of the product reducing the heat.”
Convicts Honor Booth.
San Quentin, Cal.—Nearly 1000 men
in stripes paid tribute to the memory
of the late General William Booth,
founder of the Salvation Army, at me
morial services held at San Quentin
prison. Abraham Ruef, the convicted
briber,“delivered the main address.
He eulogized the great Salvationist
and dwelt at length on his work for
“ the poor Jand the man behind the
bars.’’ Prison inmates and members
of the army corps in San Francisco
had arranged a program consisting of
sacred music and addresses.
TAFT LEADS IN CALIFORNIA.
Easy Victory Expected By Progres
sives Does Not Materialize.
San Francisco—Roosevelt Progress
ives suffered unexpected reverses in
many instances in the California pri
maries, and in some congressional dis
tricts where the Bull Moose forces
were absolutey : confident of victory,
especially so through the redistricting
of the state, they have found them
selves defeated. In districts where
easy victory for the Roosevelt candi
dates had been predicted, notably in
the third, the Taft vote ia running far
ahead of the Roosevelt Progressive
count.
The Roosevelt forces, however,
claim that the election has given them
control of the state machinery, and if
this claim is borne out, as incomplete
returns indicate, it assures the selec
tion of Roosevelt-Johnson electors at
the state convention at Sacramento,
September 24. This result has been,
however, more or less counted upon by
the Taft leaders on account of the
large personal popularity of Governor
Johnson, the vice presidential candi
date on the Roosevelt Progressive
ticket.
Secondary in interest only to the
sharply-drawn contest between the
Taft and Roosevelt faction of the Re-
pubican party was the nomination of
11 representatives, the primary being
the first congressional contest since
the addition of three new congression
al districts by the reapportionment at
the last special session of the state
legislature, based upon the 1910 cen
sus.
Scant returns in several districts in
which the Progressives had predicted
easy victory for their candidates indi
cate unexpected reverses for the
Roosevelt men, notably in the third,
which Taft leaders declared was
“ carved out” by the legislature ex
pressly to insure the certainty of the
election of Frank R. Devlin, a Roose
velt stalwart.
MILWAUKIE FIRE $50.000.
Portland Suburb Hard Hit—Califor
nia Resort Also Burns.
Portland — Fire believed to have
started in the rear of the Milwaukie
Appeal print shop at 1 o’clock Wed
nesday morning swept one entire
block on Main street between Wash
ington and Jefferson streets at Mil
waukee, Or., a suburb of Portland,
doing damage estimated at $50,000.
The fire razed the entire block, in
cluding the postoffice. Only the Sell-
wood fire appartatus from Portland
was able to reach the scene. Water
was pumped from the river to quench
the flames.
Wires from all parts of the town
except a tavern and the O. W. P. re
pair shops were down, and aid was
summoned with difficulty.
Los Angeles—Fire originating from
a defective flue at the Casino Cafe on
the pleasure pier at Ocenn Park
caused a loss of at least one life and a
property damage estimated at $2,250,-
000. For a time it threatened to dev
astate the twin beach resorts of Ocean
Park and Venice, 18 miles from Los
Angeles.
A high wind caused the flames to
spread so rapidly that seven men were
caught at the end of the Frazer pier,
on which the Casino wa9 located, and
were forced to jump into the breakers.
Six of them were rescued by life
guards, who put out in boats. They
were not in time, however, to save
the life of E. W. Leach, chef of the
Casino cafe.
Rebel Looters Are Active.
Washington, D. C.—Confirmation of
press reports of the great activity of
rebel looting parties in Northern Mex
ico continues to reach the State de
partment.
Naturally these raiders,
constantly kept on the jump by the
pursuing government columns, are
looking for horses and ranches are
suffering loss of their livestock where-
ever they appear. At one point the
rebels captured 5000 rounds of ammu
nition destined for government forces.
At the Verde ranch, 15 miles south of
Naco, they took 70 horses.
Spokane Rates In Effect.
Spokane—Spokane shippers receiv
ed advices from representatives of
Western railroads in St. Paul that
looker freight rates on the commodities
which were held up when the com
promise traiff of June 15 was agreed
upon would be placed in effect at once.
There are about a dozen commodities
affected and it is estimated the reduc
tion in the rates will be 3 or 4 per cent.
The new rates will remain in effect
until December 31, when they will be
subject to a hearing before the Inter
state commerce commission.

Britain Expected to Abandon
Arbitration Demand.
English Study Question—Washington
Believes Objections Will Stop
When Fully Understood.
Washington, D. C.—In diplsmatic
circles here it is believed that the de
lay by Great Britain in asking for ar
bitration of the free tolls section of
the Panama Canal act is an indication
that the London foreign office event
ually will abandon that plan.
It has been said that the foreign
office was withholding formal action
pending a careful study of the act. It
is believed that when the British gov
ernment comes to understand that the
free toll provision of the act applies AUNT JENNY’S JOHNNY CAKE

appeal for arbitration will disappear.
“ Diplomacy Likely to Fail,
London — Regret at the spirit in
which the Panama question is being
discussed on this side of the Atlantic
ia expressed by the Westminster Ga
zette, the government organ, whose
editor, J. Alfred Spencer, is consider
ed as possibfy the next British ambas
sador at Washington.
The charges of “ Yankee perfidy,”
it says in an editorial, have had the
effect that might have been expected
in the American retort that Europe is
strewn with examples of this perfidy.
This only serves to “ generate heat
where light is wanted.’’
It is likely, continues the Gazette,
that diplomacy will fail to arrive at a
settlement, in which case the govern
ment's course clearly is to ask for ar
bitration.
In conclusion, it says,
President Taft is so deeply committed
to the principle of arbitration that his
refusal to submit the question cannot
be conceived.
ARMY POLICE FOR ALASKA.
System Like That of Canada Being
Considered by War Department.
San Francisco—The problem of giv
ing Alaska a thorough military police
system may be solved in the near fu
ture, not by the stationing of a regi
ment or more of soldiers there, scat
tering the troops through the territor
ies by companies, but by establishing
a constabulary system modeled some
what along the lines of the Northwest
mounted police, which has accom
plished wonderful results in Canada.
Officers at the Presidio Bay that
Buch a system of mounted police is
being considered and may go through.
If so, it would be under the jurisdic
tion of the War department, the
mounted officers being recruited from
the ranks of the army.
Major George H. McManus, of the
inspector general’s department, who
has just returned from an inspection
tour of Alaska army posts, acknowl
edged that such a constabulary was
being contemplated.
“ Personally,“
he said, “ I believe that a system of
this kind would work out well. Cer
tainly if a corps as efficient as that of
the Northwest mounted police could
be developed, it would do much to pre
serve law and order in Alaska, possi
bly far more than a large number of
soldiers.”
