advised of activities of enemies of
the Carranza administration to
arouse bitter feeling between Mexi-
cans and Americans in the state of*
Vera Cruz by spreading the report
that General Candido Aguilar the
Constitutionalist commander is
preparing to attack the American
forces in Vera Cruz.
According to the message General
Aguilar communicated with General
Funston Immediately after hearing
the report assuring him of friendly
feeling for the Americans and ad-
vising him that there was no truth
in the rumor. He also notified Jose
Dominguez sub-secretary of the in-
terior of the state of Vera Cruz of
the report in the following message:
“I hate been Informed that our
enemies are circulating false reports
purporting to he statements from me
In which 1 am accredited with hav-
ing said that unless General Funston
evacuates the port of Vera Cruz
within a certain period I have been
ordered to attack the American
forces. This is an absolute false-
hood and i wish you would deny it
for me in Vera Cruz. I know the
Americans are willing to disoccupy
the city and turn it over to me. but
small details are being arranged and
these must be settled before I shall
Come into power in the port.”
The telegram from Mexico City
glso told that Tizapan. a suburb
tight miles from the city has been
declared a neutral point by Consti-
tutionalist forces and Zapatistas and
both are using the place as a ren-
dezvous. mixing freely with each
other. This came about as a result
of the suspension of hostilities by
Zapata and Carranza pending the
convention in Aguascalientes.
According to the telegram the
governor of the federal district has
just Issued an edict to retail mer-
chants and vendors in which he ad-
monished them against raising the
price of necessary commodities and
apprised them that should anyone be
caught advancing prices they would
be dealt with severely. This precau-
tipnary measure was taken for the
benefit of the poorer classes.

The border situation at Naco and
Douglas. Arizona. is well in hand
according to Brigadier Genera!
Tasker H. Bliss commander of the
Southern Department. He said there
are fourteen troops of cavalry and
two machine gun platoons at Naco

that point. The force at Douglas con-
sists of four troops of cavalrt.

sent there from Columbus. New Mex-
ico. after part of the Douglas gar-
rison had been rushed to Naco to
strengthen Colonel Hatfields com-
mand.
General Bliss did not hear from
Colonel Hatfield Wednesday morn-
ing. which leads him to believe the
situation at Naco on the Mexican
side is fairly quiet. General Hatfield
had expected an attack would be
made Tuesday night.
Governor Hunt of Arizona
sought to have militia troops sent
to Naco and Douglas to reinforce
the regular troops.- General Bliss

PESOUIERAIS
CONFIDENT OF
(SETTLEMENT
Believes Villa Will Be Brought
Back Into Harmony With
Carranza.
CIENTIFICOS ARE BLAMED
Are Said to Be Behind Move-
ment to Continue Fighting
in Mexico.
’*l confidently anticipate that the
Aguascalientes conference will wit-
ness the return of General \ ilia to
complete accord with Governor < ar-
ranza: 1 believe that General Villa
will see that the various Cientifico
elements that are pushing his am-
bition desire only their own welfare
and not his. and that they intend to
eliminate him as soon as he has
been their tool sufficiently *>ng to
accomplish their ends. When this is
shown to him—as it is being shown
at the Aguascalientes meeting—l am
confident that Villa will come into
complete harmony with the program
advocated by President Carranza.”
Roberto V. Pesquiera. elected
Munday as chairman of the board of
directors of the National Lines o|
Mexico and one of the confidential
advisers and assistants of Governor
Carranza. Wednesday morning thus
expressed his opinion. Mr. Pesquiera
came to San Antonio on a mission
and will be here several days. He
predicted that the Carranza regime
will solve all difficulties though he
admits that much depends on the
meeting now under way in Aguas-
calientes.
Blames Cientifico Element*.
Mr. Pesquiera said that back of
\ ilia stretched a chain of persons
and circumstances that brought the
Villa r«*l>ellion clear into the camps
of the Cientlficos. Combined with
these he said are some of the very
worst of the Maderiata elements—-
"the very elements.” he said "that
contributed directly to the downfall
of the Madero government.” These
he asserted had been thrown out of
the Constitutionalist movement and
in reprisal had combined with hos-
tile influences to work on Villa and
give that general an exaggerated
opinion of himself.
"Villa’s representatives at the
Aguascalientes conference” hr con-
tinued. "are bring shown that Villa
simply is being used as a tool of
others. Villa will be shown this con-
dition and I cannot help but be-
lieve that he will recognize that
later on when he has rendered such
service as will put the UientKico
crowd back Ln power hr <ll7 find
himself wholly eliminated. Villa is
a sens!lde man and when this* is
shown to him in an unmistakable
manner I feel certain that he will
refuse to allow himself to be used
as a further instrument for the ad-
vancement of the Cientificos and
their schemes.”
Mexico J.* Still at War.
In emphatic terms Mr. Pesquiera
called attention to various stories
that had been sent out regarding
the seizure of autos and houses by
the army generals In the City of
Mexico. That such had been done
he admitted but the reason for so
doing wa g set out in vigorous lan-
guage
"Mexico I.* still at war” he said
"and war measures are not those of
peace. While the Constitutionalist
cause has triumphed to the extent
that the movement has culminated
in the City of Mexico yet the Con-
stitutionalists still are fighting ene-
mies that have arisen In various
parte of the republic. The Consti-
tutionalists are doing no mure—and
even very much less—than is tak-
ing place in Europe at the present
time where war is rampant.”
Mr. Pesquiera also explained the
firing of a fen shots several days
ago in the suburb of San Angel
near Mexico City which was men-
tioned in press dispatcher as being
an attack by Zapatistas.
"This in untrue.” he said. "The
firing of the shots was by a few
drunken soldiers belonging to the
command of General Buelna who
is a general under Carranza. At the
\« ry time that the Zapatistas were
sal«| to have been attacking San An-
gel. a representative of the Carran-
za goy eminent wa« holding a peace
conference with a representative of
Zapata n<q half a mile away. I
know* for I uas in San Angel the
night of the alleged attack.”
Is Head of National IJno.

PROMINENT DOCTOR HAS
ENDORSED PLANT JOICE
Well Known Practidug Physician
Ha* Received Its Benefits
mid Indorses It.
The following is a voluntary state-
ment from a widely known practicing
physician relative to. the merits of
Plant Juice. Dr. Carl A. Brown of
i Crowley Tex. has himself been a
sufferer from stomach and nervous
■ trouble for some time and after
making* a personal test of Plant
Juice said:
"I can recommend Plant Juice to
all my friends as being all that is
claimed for it. 1 know alMt all
the ingredients in this remedy* and
they are first-class for the stomach
and nerves. I know* this to be true. ।
for 1 have tested it myself and have .
received its benefits. lam very glad ।
indeed to be able to recommend it.” j
The above statement coming from
a physician cannot fail to have a
wide influence and to cause many .
who have been most skeptical to try ■
this wonderful tonic.
The action of Plant Juice is direct .
and quick. Those who have indiges- [
tion. acidity gas. foul breath bloat- '
ing. dizziness pains in the back poor |
circulation. rheumatism nervous- ;
Deas deranged kidneys liver or
stomach will find that Plant Juice
will do more than is claimed for it.
Plant Juice is for sale at Fischer’.*
Drug Store.
Villa will be adjusted amicably and
that peace will be restored to Mexi-
co.
"I have been in the East and con-
sequently I am riot in close touch
with politics and affairs of the re-
public.” said Mr. Madero. “But I
am hopeful of the outcome of the
conference at Aguascalientes and be-
lleve Carranza and Villa will reach
a satisfactory agreement.”
Mr. Madero has resided in Neu-
York since the assassination of
President Madero and the beginning
of the Huerta regime. Several other
members of the Madero family also
left Mexico including the father and
three of the brothers of the late
president. A few weeks ago the
brothers passed through San An-
tonio on their way back.

DENY GERMAN CLAIMS.
f*encb flaim to Be Well S»ti»tl«l
With Conditions.
PARIS Oct. 14.—The following of-
ficial an-iouncement w as given out in
Paris this afternoon:
"In the Belgian field of aperations
there were some encounters during
the night of October 12-13 and dur-
ing the day of the 13th in the region
around Ghent. English and French
troops have occupied Ypres.
“First—On our left wing as far
as the Oise the .operations are de-
veloping normally.
"Second—On the center previous
reports of the progress of our arm-
ies in the region of Berrj-au-Bac
have been confirmed.
I "Third—On .our right wing there
is nothing new.
Say News Wa> I'also.
| "While it is not our custom to re-
| ply to the inaccuracies of the Ger-
I maji press it seems to us proper to
denounce the false news published
in certain German newspapers con-
[cerning the pretended destruction of
two divisions of French cavalry. This
i Information is absolutely erroneous.
“The truth is that certain forces
'of French and German cavalry with
[supports have been engaged for sev-
eral days along the front at Laßasse.
Estaires and Ballleul. The German
cavalry made a slight advance be-
tween th j canal of Laßasse and the
Lvs but they were obliged to draw
back in the territory north of the
Lys.
"The losses sustained by the Ger-
man cavalry are assuredly as per-
ceptible as our own. One of the Ger-
man divisions suffered particularly
because it was pursued during one
entire day by our aviators who did
not cease to throw bombs down upon
the Germ?.n troops.
Verdun Not Invested.
"Another case is the fact that the
Germans announce they are under-
taking the investment of Verdun In
this instance also to learn the truth
it is'sufficient to refer to the situa-
tion as set forth on several different
occasions tn the French official com-
munications.
"The Gormans have not succeeded
up to the present time in hurling
themselves against the fortified posi-
tion of Verdun. They have however
made two futile efforts to envelop at
considerable distance the 'French
forces opi rating around Verdun. One
of these efforts was characterized by
their attempt tu go through the
Argonne forest between Binarville
and Varennes. It will be recalled thiat
this movement failed with important
losses We did not even announce at
file time that two German battalions
had been annihilated in this engage-
ment.
Forced Germans to Retire.
"The other enveloping movement
on the part of the Germans under-
taken in much greater numerical
strength was directed toward cross-
ing the Meuse In the region of St.
Mihiel. If the Germans succeeded in
reaching this river .on the front be-
tween Maizey and Chauvondourt all
their efforts to advance farther re-
sulted in failure. Three German
forces found . themselves caught on
ihe flank by detachments of our
troops which advanced from the
south to the north through the
southern section of the heights of
the Meuse and through the southern
section of the Woevre district.
SHARP FIGHTING EXPECTED
Frcncli Forces Assail Germans in
Vicinity of Lille.
PARIS. Oct. 14.—The left wing
of the Allies where the French and
British have taken the offensive at
certain points is expected to be the
scene of sharp fighting.'
The German occupation of Lille
It is believed will ho of short dura-
tion. Actions in this vicinity pre-
viously had been principally caval-
ry engagements but the French of-
ficial communication now speaks of
"our forces" in general in referring
to the troops around Lille Indicat-
ing that the Allies* infantry. also
has pushed forward. The German
army corps which has occupied
Lille evidently is part of the force
released from service in Belgium
Having tailed in their attacks at
Arras. Albert. Roye Lasslgny. and
Tracy-le-Mont there was much
speculation on the result of the next
effort of the Germans. The Allies
hoped not only to keep their line
intact but to make some progress
as it Is reported they did yesterday.
ANTI-TOXTN IS ORDERED.
Allies Will Guard Against Tetanus
Germs In Trenchea.
PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 14.—An
order for 6000 packages of lockjaw
anti-toxin for the French and Eng-
lish troops has been placed with a

ufacturers by the British govern-
ment It was announced last night
The antl-toxin will be used espe-
cially for the immunization of the

tanus germs. It Is believed are par-
ticularly prevalent In the earth.

lAING STTRI GGLE EXPECTED
Russian anil Anstru-German Forcefl
Maiwcn Along Vistula.
LONDON. Oct. 14.—The .Morning
Posts Petrograd correspondent In
a dispatch dated Tuesday says he
believes a great struggle which has
been going on three days between
the Bnasian and Austro-German
forces along the Vistula river 'ln
an arena other than had been ex-
pected." Is the beginning of a hat-
tie which probably will last for
weeks.
Continuing his discussion of the ]
conflict the correspondent save:
“It is occurring on a slxty-mile
front on the left bank of the Via- I
tula. It may be supposed that the J
Austrian remnants have recovered
some semblance of an organised
army under shield of a German corps
in the neighborhood of Cracow. In ;
the meantime the Germans on the I
East Prussian frontier are utilizing
their network of frontier railroads [
to throw forces from flank to flank
In an endeavor to hold the few po-
sitions still left untaken.
"From descriptions given of the
warfare proceeding along this front
it appears that neither side la anx-
ious to do more than mark time the
Russians being content with having
defeated and thrown the Germans
back on to their own frontiers*'
Regarding the sinking of the Rus-
sian cruiser Pallada by German tub- '
marines in thg Baltic the corre-
spondent says:
"I hear that German submarines
attacked Russian cruisers on two :
successive-days and the sinking of i
the Pallada on the second day oe- I
curred 500 or 600 miles from any '
German port. The Inference follows
that either the Germans have estab-
lished some base for this species of
warfare In the Baltic at a spot un-
known or else Germany has con-
trived to misuse neutral territory.
"None of those aboard were saved
but six members of the crew were
left behind ashore. The total loss is
about 450 men and 29 officers.”
WAS AN HONOR CALL.
Sending of Aid to Beleaguered Ant-
werp So Termed.
I LONDON Oct. 14.—The Daily
Mail’s military correspondent replies
in effect today to the Morning Post's
strictures of yesterday on Winston
Spencer Churchill first lord of the
admiralty for sending a too-small
English force to Antwerp.
"Under the circumstances" says
the correspondent "the act was not
only justified but one of brave and
honorable necessity. To have refus-
ed to go to the aid of the beleatruered
garrison w"hen asked to do so would
have been an act of selfish coward-
ice. of wbieh no British minister
would be capable. Late we may have
been but belter late than never.
The claims of strategy must give way
to calls of honor.”

patch from Havre says the members

a force as possible. Almost the en-
tire civil population has left the
city.”
Belfort Is an almost impregnable

stood a siege for more than three
months. The town has a population
cf 26.000.

Southern Senators Frame
Bond Measure to Relieve
Cotton Distress.
WASHINGTON D. C. Oct. 14.—
On the fate of a proposal today to
amend the war tax bill to provide
for the government purchase of 5-
000.000 bales of cotton to relieve
Southern cotton growers may hinge
the question of the time of adjourn-
ment of Congress. The proposed
amendment framed by Southern sen-
ators was to be introduced in the
Senate today. Its defeat might post-
pone final action on the bill pend-
ing another attempt to get relief.
Democratic leaders would make no
predictions as to the time of ad-
journment in view of the attitude
of Southern senators regarding the
cotton situation but the hope was
expressed that a vote on the war
tax measure would be reached by
Saturday night-
The proposed amendment pro-
vides that the purchase of the cot-
ton be made through issuance of
$250000000 in 4 per cent bonds the
staple to be stored until 1910-17 and
sold at 10 cents a pound. In the
event however the sale does not
produce a sufficient amount to fplly
reimburse the government it is pro-
posed to levy an apportioned tax on
the stateH involved to obtain the dif-
ference. The amendment alto would
restrict the cotton acreage in 1915.
Senator Simmons 1n charge of the
measure announced that with a view
to expediting action he would ask for
a session tonight.
