Presi dent Alvaro Obrojon of Mexico, in a telegram to the San Francisco Chron icle last night, said that news from Tampico of Americans held captive by bandits was "absolutely baseless." He characterized the dispatches as "only one of the many malicious deeds to create unfavorable opinion between two nations." WASHINGTON, June 29.

OBREGON SAYS BANDIT TALES A FABRICATION FIGHTING GROWS IN INTENSITY IN DUBLIN STREETS . i t'i fr-T-1 '; .; Irregulars Gather From All Parts of Ireland to Put Down Government Rail road Lines to Dublin Cut Casualty List Grows. LONDON', June 29. (By Associated Press). Fighting in .the streets of Dublin is increasing in intensity, says a Central News dispatch f(om the Irish capital at five o'clock this afternoon. Irregulars on the outskirts of the be sieged Four Courts district are receiv ing reinforcements, Die message says. Three civilians were killed in to day's fighting, bringing the total num ber of dead to nineteen. Business houses, as well as banks, are closing, the dispatch says, and the newspapers have suspended publicationIrregulars occupied the offices of the Evening Herald for a time during the fighting today. DUBLIN, June 29. (By Associated Press). Eamonn DeValera, in an inter view granted today at tho headquar ters of the republican party, eulogized the Irish army dissentients who are holding the Four Courts as "the best and bravest In our nation." "They, most loyally have obeyed the will of the Irish people, freely ex pressed, but are not willing that Ire land's independence should be aban- j doned under the lash of an alien gov ernment, ne saiu. . Insurgents Hold Out DUBLIN, June 29. (By Associated Press). Rory O'Connor's hnnd of in surgent Irish republican army men was still holding out in its Four Courts stronghold at noon today against the continuing attempts of the free state troops to dislodge it. Firing was 'in progress all the fore noon and there was - an especially heavy burst of 'firing at 11 o'clock. Sniping operations were almost inces sant, with the casualties estimated this forenoon at more than 50, hourly increasing. . The insurgents have extended their operations in other parts of the city. Shortly before noon an umbush of free state troops was reported from College Green and the Irregulars were fortify ing various outposts. A party of free state forces on the watch for insurgent activities poured a volley Into a public house in the vicinity of yesterday's ambush. . . . . In addition to the various organized operations of the insurgents their sym pathizers In several parts of the city, acting as snipers, made many attacks on free state soldiers. Meanwhile the replies froin, O'Con ' nor's men to the firing on the Four , Courts were feeble. Tho garrison, which is believed to number about 150 is said, however, to have unlimited supplies of ammunition and plenty or j provisions. ,. I The provisional free slate govern ' ment has ordered that no passenger trains shall enter Dublin. This seems to point to apprehension j that Rory O'Connor's forces might be suuplemented by the arrival of his fol lowers from the provinces, in some 1 parts of which the irregular army has a strong support, .The same apprehen sion seems evident in the manifesto issued today by Richard Mulcahy, Dall minister of defense, in which he makes an eloquent appeal to the army, ex plaining why it is asked to fight against its old comrades. Public Supports Government Public sentiment from all indica tions is virtually unanimous In support of the government's action. The most menacing feature of the situation from the provisional government standpoint is the fact that the insurgents are de veloping activities along guerilla lines particularly In the form of ambushes. Telegraphic communication between Dublin and the north and west of Ire land Is practically at a standstill. A numuer or wires uetween uuiuin ana London were cut . last night near Howlh. In other parts of the country the provisional government also has military affairs on Its hands. In Dro gheda the insurgents, who are occupy-J ing the round tower fort on the hill commanding the town have been In-j vested by the free state troops In the sdme way as the Four Courts in Dub lin. The Drogheda position of the irregulars Is regarded as strong. rrom otner parts oi ireiano inure are many rumors of Insurgent action, but the reports are difficult of confir mation because of Dublin's almost complete Isolation. Put Tax on Milk. WASHINGTON, June 29. A duty) of 2 14 cents a gallon on milk, as com pered with the one cent rate In the house bill, was approved today by the senate, 44 to 18, after a two hours' fight. j SAYS HE'S WILLING TO "LET THE MATTER DROP" A new nhon of Ensign Leonard Kaplan, a 1922 graduate of the V. S.j Naval Academy at Annapolis, who is' alleged to have been slurred by a enri-i cature printed in the academy's year book, "The Lucky Buy." Kaplan wishes to save the academy and his class mates from being accused of racial or religious prejudice. IN SISKIYOUS .Man Who Robbed Go den Ru e Store in Grants Pass Nab bed in Local Hotel Leads Officers to Cache On Sum mit of Siskiyous. GRANTS PASS, Juno 29. Breaking down after being held In the county Jail Bince Saturday, George Lee Vann luesday night led the officers to a cache in the Siskiyou mountains where goods valued at $1013, stolen from the Golden Rule store last week, were re covered. Vann was arrested Saturday night by Deputy Sheriff Ernest Lister, who followed up a clue obtained the morning after the robbery. The goods, which consisted of sev eral men's suits and a largo number of women's tailored suits and dresses, were cached near the summit of the Siskiyou mountains. One bundle was found In a hollow log covered with bark and brush. A second bundle was found In a wood rat's nest nlso well covered. Vann led the officers around in the mountains, being kept chained for fear he might escape. He Is said to have been paroled from the Wash ington penitentiary while serving a 15 year sentence for grand larceny. The officers picked up a long purse the morning after the robbery contain ing an envelope on which was written the name "Lee Mann" addressed to Medford. The officers went to Metl ford and succeeded in locating a fam ily by the name of Vann. The man found was not the one wanted, hut he gave the information that Lee Vann would be found at the Holland hotel whenever he was in the city, thinking that the other man was wanted for speeding. George Vann was found at the Holland and was arrested and brought to this city. He refused to talk much yesterday when he was con fronted with certain facts which the officers had gleaned In their search. He then promised to lead the officers to tho spot where the goods were cached. Entrance to the Golden Rule was gained through a second story window which was sawed through, two Iron bars having been removed. Tho goods then were piled on a motorcycle and taken from the city. Chief McLane found two men who stated that they had seen him wiring the loot on the motor. On the way back from the Siskiyous the officers had a rather exciting ex perience. As they were conning down the hill, two men came out from the side of the road, and pointed guns at them. Deputy Lister and the sheriff had their guns out when they saw the men approaching and covered the other two. The situation was rnther tense for a moment until Mr. Lister saw the star on one of the other men and the whole situation wag explained. It seems that the two were revenue officers on the lookout for three men In a Ford. The officers .qualified, hav. Ing Vann with them. The whole party grew a whole batch of vh te hairs In a few seconds.

Undismayed by reports of further support for the move to unify China along lines which he has not ap proved, Dr. Sun Yat Sen Is holding on to the presidency with a tenacity op parently equal to that with which he clung to the ideal of a Chinese democ racy in the days before the Manchus were overthrown. Dr. Sun has set up his headquarters at the naval college at Whampoa, near here and is firm in his declaration that when his army of Invasion returns from Kiagsi province he will be able to retake Canton and re-establish the regime of which he is the head. Fifty thousand troops are comprised In this army, according to the best available estimates while the forces of Chen Chiung Ming, who ousted Sun from his capital, are believed to bo smaller.
