SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS: TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 16, 1912.
GOVERNMENT EXPECTS REASON
ABLE TREATMENT OF AMER-
ICANS FROM BOTH SIDES.
IDEM) STILL AMICABLE
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 15.—Al-
though there was a conspicuous revival of
intervention talk throughout the National
capital today as a result of tbis Govern-
ment's warning to Mexico demanding more
respectful treatment of Americans, Acting
Secretary Wilson reiterated there was
"nothing more remote" than intervention.
The State Department expects to hear
tomorrow how the communications were
received by the Mexican government and
the revolutionaries. The Mexican embassy
was noncommltal on the subject.
Other sources in close touch with the
Mexican capital declared President Madero
would receive the demands In a spirit of
amity.
PANIC IN NEW YORK CITY
Rich
Ruh Elhows With Poor
Waiting; News of the
Titanic.
While
NEW YORK, April 16.—News of tho
probable terrible loss of life in the sink
ing of the Titanic was limited in its cir-
culation in the early evening, but by !)
o'clock it brought a good crowd of per-
sons to the White Star line offices. Wo-
men were in tears and men were frantic
after their plea for assuring news was
met with the frank admission that very
little was known of the fate of passen-
gers who were not in the first or second
cabins.
By midnight Bowling Green, in front of
the White Star line offices, was the park-
ing place of many automobiles of prom-
inent residents of the city awaiting first-
hand information. Wealth and society
rubbed elbows with poverty in the crowd
that besieged the steamship line officials,
and both classes were in deep grief.
There were many instances of fashion-
ably gowned women going into hysterics
when the hopeful reports of the afternoon
were blasted with the news that probably
only 675 persons had been saved.
Vincent Astor, only son of Col. John
Jacob Astor, accompanied by A. J. Bid-
die of Philadelphia, Colonel Astor's sec-
retary, was among the crowd at the of-
fices, and left with tears in their eyes
after a fifteen-minute conference with
Vice President Franklin. Relatives of
other prominent passengers had similar
conferences with Mr. Franklin and same
away dejected.
Police reserves had to be called to sev-
eral sections of the city tonight to con-
trol crowds gathered around newspaper
bulletin boards for news of the Titanic.
The disaster stunned the gay Broadway
district as perhaps no disaster ever had
so completely before, for many of those
who poured out of the theaters had
friends on the steamer. The newspaper
"istrlct was crowded until after mid-
ight.

Has That Been Your Experience Tak-
ing Calomel for Constipation?
Try Dodson's Liver-Tone Next.
Many people take calomel to cure con-
stipation, and it does cure it for one day.
but two or three days later they are
sicker than ever. That is one of the after-
effects of calomel.
This is the reason why Fischer's Drug
Stofe will not guarantee calomel to be
harmless. But we do guarantee Dodson's
Liver-Tone to be a perfect substitute for
calomel. Dodson's Liver-Tone will cure
constipation and bilious attacks and keep
them cured by stimulating and toning up
the liver to do its best work. It is a vege-
table liquid with a pleasant taste and is j
harmless to children as well as grown I
people. It livens up the liver by natural '
methods, does not act so strongly as to
Weaken the body, but is safe aiid sure
Just the same. You can buy ;i bottle to-
day from Fischer's Drug Store with the
assurance of your money back if it fails
In your case.

ME END DEPLORED
Revolutionary Committee Said to be
on Way to Washington to
Relate Its Side.
According to some of the promtnent
Vasquistan In the city a .special commis-
sion of four men may pans through the
city tonight on Its way to Washington
to lay before American officials certain
features pertaining to the killing of tho
American, Fountain, several days ago.
It is understood the report will he made
that Vatqulstas sent word to Orozco to
trft.it Fountain as a prisoner of war, and
give him a fair trial.
This commission is said to be Roing
to Washington as the representatives of
the "Revolutionary Committee of
Twelve," the members of which are now
ill Juaren and Chihuahua. Not only this,
but it is said a manifesto will soon lie
issued in which it will be set forth that
the shooting of Fountain was not in ac-
cord with tlie rules of warfare. At the
same tin.e it is more than likely charges
will be made against one of the men in
tho Orossco camp. Further than this the
committee of twelve will insist that the
man against whom charges are made
be tried In accordance with the rules ot
wa rfare.

REFUGEES SWAMP EL PASO.
People from Mexico Take Accommo-
dations of City.
.Special Telegram to The Express,
Kb PASO, Tex., April 15.—Renewed
exodus of Americans from Mexico fol-
lowing the ultimatum from the State De-
partment at Washington has almost
swamped El Paso.
People are unable to secure accommo-
dations in many instances, without wait-
ing tor hours. In the hotels, guests wait
in the lobby until a room is given up by
its occupant in order to get a place to
sleep.
The 'jondltion will only last for a few
days, as tho refugees are fast departing
for their old homes in the States, but tho
conditions indicate tho great rush of
foreign-Is to get out of Mexico.
Mrs. Mnridfi I^etcher and two children,
family of the American consul at t'hl-
huahua, reached here today. Juan
Ollivier, in charge of the French con-
sular agency at ChlhuahUR, and Carlos
Cuilty, Belgian consul in Chihuahua,
both came out last night.

DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS IS
SILENT IF ANY NEWS HAS
BEEN RECEIVED.
REFUGEES REACH THE CITY
The army is ready in San Antonio for
anything that may happen.
Is' telegrams came yesterday from
Washington relating to the situation in
the republic of Mexico, nothing was
given out at department headquarters
up to H:ttO o'clock last night, although
considerably more than passing interest
manifested itself in the dispatches from
Washington telling of the tension that
has grown tighter between the two coun-
tries.
Brig. Gen. J. \V. Duncan, the com-
mander of the department, nor Mai. W.
S. Scott, the adjutant general, had any
comment to offer on the • latest" devel-
opments as far as the situation in Mex-
ico is concerned. There was just the in-
timation thai if any rail should be made
the troops in this department would be
ready to proceed to the border.
Cnited States Marshal Nolte said there
was nothing of an important nature in
the situation, as far as he was con-
cerned. He said no messages hail been
received that would give an intimation
oi' anything exceptional on the surface,
and that if there were developments it
is more than likely the news would get.
abroad soon enough.
The situation in the republic took on
a more widespread interest yesterday,
and especially so as the members of a
number of railway crafts are interested
in what is likely to occur tomorrow,
when the engineers find conductors, that
is the American employes, vacate the
situations they have held for a long
time. None of these employes, it is said,
would suffer for anything. If the Mexi-
can roads do not supply them with trans-
portation the funds for railroad passage
will be coming from a lot of their co
workers on this side of the Rio Grande.
MANY RHFUGEK8 COME.
The trains from the South again
br« tight in many refugees yesterday.
The stories they had to tell are the
stories that have been told heretofore
of getting the word to proceed to the
United States as a haven until the war
cloud is dissipated from the horizon in
Mexico. As on previous days, the refu
gees were, for the greater part, women
and children, and the estimate was made
yesterday that since the exodus began
out of the republic almost 7,000 persons
have crossed the Rio Grande through
the Laredo gateway. One of the refu-
gees said this information was given out
by a customs official at Laredo.
Through the El Paso gateway it is said
approximately 2,000 Americans have
passed on their return from Mexico.
Eagle Pass can claim probably 300 jr
600, so there are almost 10,000 natives of
this country who have for the time be-
ing pulled up stakes south of the Rio
Grande. When the engineers and con-
ductors, of whom there are from 500 to
700, according to estimates of both sides,
quit the republic it is not probable there
will be more than 1,500 Americans left,
in the entire country.
The exodus does not give any signs of
abatement, and the ensuing few days
may have an interesting side from the
viewpoint of those who have any inter-
est whatever in the land of the Mocte-
zumas.
REBEL COMMANDER TAKEN
Exciting Battle Marks Aggression
Upon Coach of E. T. Martinez
at Monterey.
Staff Special to The Express.
MONTEREY, Mexico, April 15.—Eduar-
rto I. Martinez, who has for the past
three week* been the alleged head ot
the Vasquista troops In this state, made
the mistake of his lite In the way of
military maneuvers Saturday night,
which resulted in his capture and im-
prisonment by the local authorities.
In some manner a person discovered
that Martinez intended coming into Mon-
terey some time Saturday night and at
S o'clock apprised the authorities of the
fact. It was known that he would come
through the section known as San Luls-
Ito and would have to enter town by any
of the streets leading north from the
Santa Catarlna River.
Guards were placed at all the street
corners on Ocampo Sfreet and at about
10:30 o'clock a coach driven by a coach-
man, who gave his name as Jose Galindo,
was stopped by the guards who were
immediately fired upon by the occupants
of the coach and two horsemen who fol-
lowed II A general mix-up followed,
with about five minutes steady shoot-
ing. The entire section of the city was
alarmed and hundreds of people ran out
to see what the trouble might be.
Martinez escaped from the coach when
he saw that the horse pulling it had
been shot dead by the police and hid in
the house of a friend. Senor Francisco
Perez Garcia, where lie was afterward
arrested by Don Alfredo Perez, mayor
of Monterey. Martinez made no resist-
ance and was seen by friends Sunday
morning in a coach in which he was be-
ing taken from the city jail to the court
room on Zitragoza riay,a. He was placed
Incommrnlcado and the result of his re-
sistance to the police when these nt-
ti'mpted to stop him on the street will
not be known until the case comes to

MEXICO CITY UNRUFFLED.
Madero Awaits Translation Before Re-
plying to Message.
CITY OF MEXICO, April 15,-The mes-
sage of Acting Secretary Huntington
Wilson to the Mexican government
through Ambassador Wilson, duly de-
livered to the foreign office, hail not
been translated tonight into Spanish and
officially its contents were not known
to the minister. On that ground no of-
ficial comment was forthcoming.
The message, published in Spanish and
in English in the morning papers,
created no perceptible stir in the capi-
tal.
Jesus Floret, Magon, Minister of the
Interior, assuming that one of tlie chief
pauses for tile warning was the shoot-
ing of Fountain, expressed grave doubts
of tho American nationality of the man.
He also doubted the authenticity of the
report that Villa had threatened to make
reprisals, as reported, by shooting
