Havana, Nov. 6—General Felix Diaz ; was stabbeq by a Mexican at 10.30 eo'clock tonight. He was wounded twice, probably not fatally. Assailant Arrested. The attack on Diaz occurred while: be was walking on the Malecon, a fashionable promenade. He was wounded behind the ear and in the neck, besides receiving several blows on the head from a cane. Diaz was removeqd to a hospital. His assailant was arrested. Another- Version of Affair. A later version of the affair is to the effect that Diaz with-a party of friends was attending a band concert, and that Diaz made some insulting remarks ‘to & party of Mexicans. The stabbing re- pulted, and Pedro Guerrero, one of the Mexicans, was arrested. After his arrest Guerrero was shot and dangerously wounded by some un- knawn person. Diaz's wounds are only superficial, & Cuban Government Warned. General Felix Diaz made his es cape from Mexican soil on October 27, taking refuge on board the United States gupboat Wheeling at Vera Cruz. He was transferred to the Louisiana and from there to the bat- tleship Michigan, later being put aboard the steamer Espernza which | reached Havana on Monday last. As long ago as October 15 the Cuban government was warned that a band of Mexican comspirators were planning to kill General Diaz, who was then on his way from Europe to Mexico. The Cuban government took precautionary measures, and Dia% was closely guard- ed when he landed at Havana on his homeward voyage. , Was Candidate For Presidency. There were rumors of other plots sagainst his life, when it was learned that he was to return to Havana. A late Vera Cruz despatch reperted that Diaz had left behind him there alleged proof that an agent of the govern- ment was on his way to Vera Cruz! with orders to take Diaz to Mexico City, dead or alive. General Diaz was the candidate of the national democratic party for the presidency. He had been sent out of the country by General Huerta as head of a special Mexican mission to Japan, but returned for the purpose of cafrry- ing on his campaigmt v Did Not Dare Remain Mexico. ‘When he arrived at Vera Cruz on October 22 he found the situation so threatening that he did not dare to continue on to the Mexican capital. General Huerta sent him an invitation to come to Mexico City and even des- patched an envoy to endeavor to in- duce Diaz to accept the invitation. He declined to do 8o and finally made his way to the American consfilate from which he escaped to a launch which earried him to the Wheeling. General Felix Diaz is a nephew of General Porfirio Diaz, the for T pres- ident of the republic. A vear ago he: headed a revolutionary movement at’ Vera , which was promptly sup- | pressed. He headed the revolt against President Madero in Mexico City last February .which ended in the over- throw of Madero and the assumption of the presidency by General Huerta: each has been married before, LIFT EMBARGO ON ARMS. This Policy Urged Upon President Wil- son and Secretary Bryan, Washington, Nov, 6—No new devel- opments—good, bad or indifferent— his was the word that came from the ite House late today as to the| atus of the Mexican sotuaiion, fol- | owing the présentation to Provisional | President IHuerta of the wish of the United States that he resign, Those who had any doubt -about the | press despatches from Mexico City de- scribing the last representations made | Huerta had the situation clarified | for them to an extent today by admin- | istration officials. From the White House it became known thai the views of the United States upon the recent election in Mexico were set forth in a eablegram to Nelson Shaughnessy, the charge d'aff. of the Ameriecan embassy at Mexico.City, This eablo- am eontained certain “instructions.’ ust what the instructions were not divalged by the off 15, who said they were of a confidential nature. It | was recalled that when the negofin- | tions began with the Huerta govern- ment there was ne formal n but “instructions to John Tind, this way recognition o ment, though technicaily, wa, Huerta's Plogramme, From the way White House officials diseussed the situatisn, fhere existed ne doubt in official eir: tonight that the instruetions to My ()Shaughnessy to convey the desires of the United | States to General Huerta were sub- | stantially as outlined in despatches from Mexico City -lust Monday, al- though the state department’s deniaj that amy “ultimatum” had been sent was regarded by many conversant with the situation as indicating that the United States government in its com- | musication to Mr. (Shaughnessy did not neecessarily mean that it had said its Jast word in the prailevs. Tt became evident at the White House g’uax the president considers the elec- i::.o!

The president incidentally in the situation spoke of the loyal attitude of Charge O’Shaughnessy. Removal of Embargo on Arms. Alternative measures that the Units ed States might take in event of a re- Jection by Huerta of the American de- mands were variously discussed today in official circles.” Attention centered chiefly on thespreposal to remove the embargo on arms. The president indi- cated that nothing new had been de- termined upon in this connection. In his recent address to congress he took, & strong position against giving arms to any faction, on the ground that more munitions of war meant added inhumanity in the strife. Members of congress, and especially many of the senae foreign relations commitiee,think the embarge should be lifted, and that the constitutionalists would then be able by force of arms to out Huerta. This opinion is being stronzly urged upon President Wilson and Secretary Bryan, but there no outward indica- tion that they have changed their at- tituda. ? At the White House it was stated that no envoys had been sent to the border for the government to discuss the situation with Genéral Carranza. TO REJECT DEMANDS. Friend of Huerta Indicates His Prob- _ able Attitude. Mexico .City, Nov. 6.—The purposes of General Huerta were voiced this morning*by a person close to the pro- visional president. This man said the president was determined to reject all the demands set forth in the latest American communication, and that he wag resolved to seat the congress just elected. If congress, however, declares the recent presidential election to be null and makes arrangements for an- other election, Huerta would be dis- posed to abide by this decision, and submit to the people’s choice of a man i who ‘would occupy he presidency un- til the autumn of 1916. METAL CURRENCY FAMINE, Business Men Apprehensive Because of Huerta's Decree. Mexico City, Nov. 6.—Prevented by the mast impenetrable reserve display- ed at the national palace from learning more of President Huerta's intentions regarding his answer to, the American demans, the Méxican people are in- dulging in speculation as to the final outcome. As a sequel to General Jluerta's de- cree yesterday, making bank notes le- gal tender, foreign residents and Mexi- cans alike have been ransacking the town for silver money, but at the banks it was with difficulty that change could be procured for more than five peso notes. Business men are alarmed, | fearing tha there will soon be so.8reat a shortage of metal currency that it will interfere seriously with the trans- action of husiness. The rate of exchange has increased only slightly, the banks selling limited amounts at 290 pesos for one hundred dollars gold. WAFCHING MADEROS.

Graft Investigator Offers to Prove His Story by Others. < New York, Nov. 6.—George H. Mc- Guire of Syracuse denied on the wit- ness stand today that he had ever fur- nished John A, Hennessy, former Gov- ernor Sulzer’s graft investigator, with {a list of construection firms which bad | been *‘sandbagged” into giving cam- paign contributions to Tammany Hall, { as testified by Henmnessy last week.

McGuire, former democratic mayor of Syracuse and with him a partner in the firm of McGuire and Company, engaged in bonding construction com- panies and in liability insurance, ap- peared as a witness in the John Doe proceedings instituted by District At- torney Whitman to investigate Hen- nessy’s charges. ¥ Hennessy Says He Can Prove It. No. sooner had McGuire sworn that he had never specified to Hennessy a single instance of any construction company engaged in state highways or barge canal work having given up campaign contributions, than he was withdrawn from the stand and Hen- taking his place, reiterated his ent and added that he could prove it by others, Hennessy said that he had met Mc- Guire in the latter's room in a hotel in Utica on September 12. He pro- duced a list of firms which he said { McGuire had named to him as hav- | ing made contributions. The list was written on the stationery of the hotel and Henne: said he had taken it down in the presence of McGuire. Admitted Giving Hennessy $2,500. ITcGuire wanted me to defeat Mur- phy,, sai Hennessy, “and said he wanted these revelations made. But he said he didn't want it known that he had told me anything on account of the affiliations of h brother.” District Attorney Whitman elicited from McGuire that h concern had done a large business in bonding the contracts of construction firms en- gaged in the state highway and barge canal work ‘and that McGuire after having given $500 to Sulzer as a cam- paign contribution had at Sulzer’s re- quest given $2,500 to Hennessy to en- able the latter to pursue his investi- gations into the state highway depart- ment after the governor's special ap- propriation had been cut off by the assembly. This was in last Septem- ber after thes governor's impeachment. Hennessy in support of his version. produced a telegram he received on October 27 last from Syracuse, which he said _Ne beliaved had been sent to him by McGuire. McGuire Denies Sending Telegram. Tt was signed “M.” and appealed to Hennessy to make a speech against William H. Kelley, democratic leader of Onondaga county in order to gain votes fow» the progressive ticket. McGuire denied that he had sent any such telegram to, Hennessy. He said that he had talked with his brother and friends since Hennessy testified and told them®that he didn’t have any such information as Hennessy testified to. “Then why did you give the gov- ernor $2,500,” asked Mr,_ Whitman. “I hated to see a good business ministration go to smash. There a great governor alone in the execu- tive mansion without friends and he was about to be tried by the court of impeachment and I was sorry for him. He said that he needed the money bad- ly and that it was a case of dire ne- cessitw’ The witness admitted that met Hennessy in Utica on at the request of Sulzer.

Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 6.—Indiana’s entire National Guard, consisting of more than 2,000 soldiers, is encamped in different parts of Indianapolls to- night, ready for duty in the strike of the employes of the Indlanapolis Trac- tion and Terminal company. Special trains brought the troops under hur- ried orders, and they were detrained in the suburbs, virtually surrounding the town. Great secrecy was malntain- 6d as to the moyement and arrival of ‘the militia, and few citizens even knew that they had been called out until late today. City a Huge Military Camp. The trains bringing the troops were stopped outside of Indianapolis by offi- cers of the National Guard, and glven directtons. All companies were held when they arrived until they were of such number.that it was deemed safe to bring them-into the 'city. This was done to prevent any clash with the strikers, who, after learning the troops had been called out, were on the down- town Streets in large numbers: The troops will not begin duty until early tomorrow morning. In the meantime Indianapolis more nearly resembles a huge military camp than a quiet cap- ital eity. Women Make Demonstration, ‘Whether the street cars are to be manned by soldiers, officers in charge say tonight. Martial law had not been declared early tonight, but such a proclamation is expected to be issued from the governor’s office be- fore morning. Late this afternoon nearly 300 wom- en, members of the Garment Workers' union, .rushed across the state house lawe, into the capital, and into the governor's office, where they demand- ed that Governor Ralston force arbi- tration in the street car strike and call a special session of the state legisla- ture. Many of the women were hys- terical, and Mrs. Fdna Davis, presi- dent of the union, declared: "“We ares willing to take up arms to help win this strike.” : " Governor Will Enforce the Laws. Governor Ralston,. answering the women, asserted that he had no am- thority to force arbitration, but that he had taken an oath as governor of Indiana to support the constitution and to enforee the laws. He saild he was in sympathy with the union men, but could not allow a condition of law- lessness to exist, and it was his sworn duty to protect life and property. Brigadier General William J. McKee is said to have stated that he knew nothing of the street car strike official- 1y, but had been told there was riot- ing in Indianapolis, and that he had been ordered to end the disorder. This, he said, he. would do. Receivership Suits. A sult for receiver for the Street Car company, which was set for a-hearing today, was postponed until tomorrow because of the iliness of one of the at- torneys for the car company. A second suit for a receivership was filed late today by Judge Frank Reby, former member of the state appellate court. Delaying Martial Law Proclamatien. Governor Ralston announced tonight that he was withholding the procla- mation of martial law in hope that the strikers and the street raillway com- pany would be able to come to terms during the night, Tt was learned that | Judge Thomas Duncan and Charles Murphy of the Indiana public utilities commission had asked officials of the street ear company to submit the trou- ble to arbitration, GARDNER TO RESIGN HIS SEAT IN CONGRESS.
