Aged Prelate Given Military Guard Despite His Protest. ARMED ESCORT FOR CARDINAL Unusual Spectacle Witnessed in Sub. urb of Rome. Rome, Sept. 30.—The unusual spec tacle of a military escort for a churct dignitary was seen in the suburbs, of Marino when Cardinal Agliardi was driven through the streets with fifty mounted carbineers and detectives or bicycles. The precautions were taken because anti-Clericals, opposed to the holding of the annual cabinet convention at Marino, threatened to make trouble. Cardinal Agliardi presided at the con- vention. When he learned of the ar- rangement for an escort he told his secretary that he feared nothing. “I am eighty years old, and at my age it is the same thing whether I die in a carriage or in bed,” he said. The prelate met with no untoward incident, but later on in the day there was a street row between the anti-Clericals and Catholics in which nearly two score persons were wounded and over a hundred arrests were made.

Washington, Sept, 30.—The admin- istration has reluctantly concluded jthat at present there is no constitu- tional means of opening communica- tion on an official basis with the in- surgent parties in Mexico. This fact developed as the result of an inquiry as to whether Mr. Lind, the presi- dent’s special commissioner to Mex- ico, was about to get into communica- tion with the constitutionalists with a view to securing an agreement from them to respect a truce while the projected October elections in Mexico are under way. The administration is much inter- ested in the bringing forward of new candidates for the presidential nomi- nation, though not willing to express any opinion as to the significance ot these entries in their bearing upon the settlement of the question as to whether or not the Huerta govern- ment is genuinely complying with the desire of the United States gov- ernment for a fair and free election in Mexico.

Confirmation of the defeat of the constitutionalists under General Gon- zales at Baratan by General Maas, federal commander, and of the re- treat of the rebels to Sabinas has reached the state department from the American consul at Cindad.

The rebels, who have been besieg- ing Mazatlan, have now sought to compel surrender of the federal forces by cutting off the water sup- ply.
