NEARLY STRANGLES TO DEATH Cook in New York Restaurant Strung Up by Robbers. New York, March 16.—Entering a restaurant three holdup men strangled Diego La Cala, the cook, strung him up by the neck with a noose which they attached to a meat hook and slashed his face with a knife as they went through his pockets and robbed | him of $136. The men fled. La Cala nearly strangled to death before he managed to free himself. He is in a serious condition. 8he Has Positive Proof.

KIDNAPPED BY MEXICANS and Converse Were Captured on American Soil and Their Prompt Release Is Requested—Develop- ments Indicate Mobilization of Troops Was Carefully Planned Move, | ‘Washington, March 16.—Following the formal request, which practically amounts to a demand by the United States on Mexico .for the release of two American prisoners kidnapped on Texas soil by Diaz soldiers and car- consul in. Mexico had been instructed to make a prompt report of any mis- treatment of American citizens. by either military or civilian authorities Each " successive step in the rela- tions between ‘the United States and Mexico in the present crisis reveals a strong and carefully planned policy by this country. The virtual demand for the release of Blatt and Converse is |} not an afterthought. The two Ameri- cans were arrested on Feb. 23. This government has been investigating the case ever since. But it made no representation to Mexico until it had mobilized a strong military force along’ the border. Having placed an army within striking distance of Mexico the United States now calls upon Diaz to with an order to its consuls to.be Explanation for Congress. If the president is called upon by congress for a statement of what the military = demonstration in' Texas means the administration will be in a position to show that it had am- ple grounds for believing that the zens of foreign powers in Mexico were in danger. | Gvernment officlals who believed | from the first that the United States| would be compelled to intervene in Mexico to protect the lives and prop- | erty of its citizens, the formal request for the surrender of Blatt and Con- verse is regarded as a carefully planned step. The issue concerning jail at Juarez, is very sharply drawn ary dispute. There is a boundary dis- | Pute between Mexico and the United | States, which is to be settled by ar- state department that it does not in any way affect Blatt dnd Converse. | | This government is convinced that | { can soil. Mexico denies it. The situ- | ation is one from which one party or| the other must absolutely recede from its position, on a question of fact. CRUISER ANSWERS SUMMONS} Will Sail South at Once. New York, March 16,—The armored eruiser Washington is in New York mouth, N. H,, on her way to take part in the maneuvers off the Mexican coast. She will stay here only twen- ty-four hours, taking on board men, mails and ammunition for the other cruisers of the Fifth division. The Washington was undergoing re- pairs at the Portsmouth navyyard when orders came for her trip south ward. The repairs were rushed by working all the available men over time and as soon as her bunkers could be filled ‘with coal she started for New York. —_ Fire Causes Loss of $100,000 at Ma- pleton, Minn. Mapleton, Minn., March 16.—Maple- ton was threatened by fire that de- stroyed the Mapleton mills and adjoin- ing property, entailing a loss of $100, 000. The mills were situated in the northwestern part of town. Fire, said to be due to a defective smokestack, broke out at 3:30 a. m. A strong gale blowing from the northwest fanned the blaze into a conflagration which for a time threatened to envelop the town. The local fire department and buck- et brigade fought strenuously to get the fire under control and succeeded- after practically the entire population had turned out. The mills, elevator and ‘several smaller buildings were totally de- stroyed. Two freight cars, one loaded with merchandise, on a Chicago, Mil- waukee and St. Paul track, were de- stroyed. Dirt and Death. When a celebrated Paris physician was asked how the city could prevent the coming of a plague then ravaging ather European places he answered. “Boil your ice!” That tersely called attention to the necessity of utter from impure water carried disease. “Yellow fever,” said Henry Ward Beecher, *is God Almighty’s opinion of dirt” The chief contributing cause toward modern efficiency in surgery is that surgeons have learned to keep clean. Nothing is so spotless as a good hospital. | Everything is bpolled and sterilized—beds, . instruments, clothing, washrags, floors,” hands and finger nails. That is why they save lives there. Nobody would die if he could keep perfectly clean. Death is. the final trlumph of dirt.—Chicago Trib- HINNESOTA LEADS IN WHEAT Iowa Takn First Plau in Produe(lon of Oats.

Milwaukee, March 16.—The lumber yvard of the Hilty Lumber company was practically wiped out by fire, en- tailing a loss estimated at $200,000, partly covered by insurance. Fireman Fred B. Clark, driver of truck No. 13, who was said to have fallen from a ladder after having been overcome ‘by- the cold, was taken to the Emergency hospital, where he died from his injuries. The fire started in a barn from a cause not kmown. For a time sur- rounding property, valued at $2,000, 000, was in danger, the flames being aided in their fury by a forty-mile gale.

MOYE T ‘BORDER LIKELY Believed General Carter is Preparing to Entrain His Army for Points on the Mexican Frontier Within the Next Few Days—Insurrectos Plan Reprisals if Diaz Government Exe- cutes Rebel: Suspects. San Antonio, Tex., March 16.—With the arrival of the Ninth cavalry and the Fourth field artillery in San An- tonio the entire division under Major General Carter is now in camp, eight and one-half days after the mobiliza- tion .command was flashed out of ‘Washington. Hundreds of recruits continue pour- ing into Fort Sam Houston every hour and are immediately assigned to regi- ments where company commanders are drilling them in feverish haste to prepare them for some form of mili- tary knowledge for the work expected. That another day wlil see some sign of action looking toward throwing the whole division toward the Mexican frontier is firmly believed by officers here. The suspensions of certain forms of constitutional rights in Mexico, in ef- fect a declaration of martial law, be- comes effective shortly and there is every reason to believe that the Mex- ican government intends to attempt to put down nne revolt with an iron hand. Threaten to Extend Revolt. Revolutionists here declare advices from their comrades say they are ready for any move by throwing all of Northern Mexico into a state of in- surrection. The moment Diaz carries out his intention of trying in military courts all persons guilty of the slightest out- break the insurrectos plan bitter re- prisals. News from the state of Coahuila, hitherto unaffected by the insirgent uprising, is given considerable cred- ence. ‘While General Carter refuses to dil- cuss the situation there is every rea- son to believe he is fully acquainted with the conditions .and is preparing to entrain the entire division for points along the Mexican border with- in a few days—possibly bolore the end of the week.
