TREVINO Color to Report Given by Release of 26 of Imprisoned Depu- ties—British Minister to Mexico, Who Criticised Policy of United States, to be Transferred to Brazil—Rebels Withdrawn From Ojinaga—Smallpox Among Refugees. Aexico City, Jan. 5—That General;of Fresident Wilson for dealing with Huerta intends to resign from the presidency in the near future—a report often demied by him in the most em- phatic terms- again being persist- ently rumored in the capital. It is said that he will take the field in per- the presidentil office. Enrique Gerostie cessor, according to the understand- ing. Wants Deputies Released. Senor Gerostieta has asked to be relieved of his portfolioc which is re- | garded as lending color to the report, of which confirmation from any au- thoritative source has been impossi- ble so far. Gerostieta is said to have been offered the portfolio of foreign affairs, succeeding Querido Moheno, with the understanding that he as- sume the presidency and has con- mented to the plan only on condition that the deputies imprisoned by Hu- a upon the dissolution of congress last October be set at liberty. He had many friends among the deputies and has never been in sympathy with Gen- eral Huerta's treatment of them. Trevino Finally to be President. Under the alleged plan Senor Geros- tieta js to hold the presidency only for a limited period, turning it over to General Geronimo Trevino, of Monterey, one of the oldest of the army officers, who on previous occa- #tons has been talked of as a possible successor to Huerta and to whom, it is urged Washington could have no shjection. General Trevino was the trusted of- ficer of General Porfirio Diaz. Until recently he was chief of the military zone, of which Monterey was the head- quarters and has kept aloof from the political developments of the last three years. Lack of Funds Having Effect. The reiease of 26 deputies on New Year's day and the announcement of the early release of probably all the cther deputies now in prison are point- 2d to as further evidence of the possi- ble truth of the report. Persons close to President Huerta are quoted as say- fng that failure to obtain funds in Europs 1s shaking the faith of the sident_in his ability to cope with . Pic situation and that he appears less reluctant to listen to the suggestion of friends on the subject of his resig- nation. REBELS WITHDRAW. Ortega’s Force Retires Seven Miles to | West of Ojinaga. Marfu, Texas, Jan. 5—Hostilities be- | tween the northern division of the Mexican Federal army defending the 1oris at Ojinaga, Mexico, opposite here, and General Ortega’s 6,000 rebels today ed as suddenly as they began a ago. Without any federal ac- vities to provoke his move, General Ortega withdrew all his troops, seven miles westyvard along the Rio Grande, supposedly to awalt the arrival of reinforcements from Chihughua. Information had reached the rebels that a large body of federals which Bad been on the way from Jiminez un- der command of General Argumendo, were within four days march of Ojin- aga, and we nning te steal up on Ortega’s reur and rescue the federal garrison. Although both armies after six days of fighting had been resting since day- light, General Ortega suddenly divid- ed his army into three formations and started to move along the border away from Ojinaga General Pascual Oro commander of federal volunteers, who was sent out to scout, reported that the rebels evidently had taken up a position to await more forces, TRANSFER OF CARDEN. British Minister to Be Duty in Brazil. Assigned to Mexico City, Jan. 5.—Sir Lionel Car- had not haen advised of his intend- a- ansfer to Brazil when the news lade conveved to him this afternoon by Associated Press. He expressed doubt as o the authenticity of the an- nouncement, on the grounds that the appointment of & new minister fo Mexico would constiute a reaffirma- tion of the recogmition of President Huerty by Great Britatn, which he ap peared o rew a course which it | w doubiful his government would pursue, Erazil. the xplained, was | his origival uppointment.

Washington, Jan. 5.—Announcement that Great Britain is about to transfer i . minister of justice, is the | man who will be selected as his suc- | Bir Lionel Carden/\its minister at the City of Mexico, was regarded by offi- cial Washington as a substantial man- ffestaiion of the purpose of the Brit- 8l zovernment to remove every b- | she saw a 'man vault the bac] the Mexican situation. At the state department it was de- nied that any protest had been made by the United States to the British forelgn office against any of the acts or utterances ascribed to Minister Son against the rebels, after yielding | Carden. From other sources, however, it was learned that Ambassador Page did seek information at the British for- eign office some time ago regarding the atiitude of its representative in Mex- ico. About the time this occurred, a semi-official statement was issued In London repudiating a statement at- tributed to Sir Lionel that President Wilson's policy towards Mexico would not have been adopted had he not been in ignorance of the facts. Officials here expect the transfer of the British minister, in view of the lack of sympathy he is said to have shown with the American line of act- ion, to have a beneficlal effect in im- pressing the Huerta government with the fact that there is to be no division among the powers from which it might expect to profit. Regarding the renewal of Tebel activ- ty in the neighborhood of Tampico, & cablegram from Rear Admiral Fletcher, which was received late today, though dated Saturday, said it was feared an- | other attack was to be made upon -the town. In anticipation of trouble, the German cruiser Bremen has gone from Vera Cruz to Tampico. From the west coast, Captain Brad- shaw of the gunboat Yorktown, which was sent to Ensenada on a report that the foreigners there were threatened with a forced loan, reported today that the situation there has been much re- lieved by the arrival of the Yorktown. GENERAL VACCINATION. Three Mexican Refugees Bring Small- pox to Presidio. Marfa, Texas, Jan. 5.—Federals and constitutionalists at Ojinaga, Mexico, appeared late today to be resting after their Intermittent conflict of a week. The artillery fire had c'»:d down to occasional shots. A few rebel prison- ers captured by the federals were exe- cuted today. Captain Luis Cullly, a relative of the wealthy Terazzas family, who has been fighting with the federals, dled of wounds received in a skirmish. Because of the finding of three cases of smallpox among Mexican refugees at Presidio, orders were given for the vaccination of all soldiers and civilians in the town. GOVERNOR BEGINS HIS STRIKE INVESTIGATION Miners Declare They Will Make No Further Concessions, Houghton, Mich., Jan. 5.—Governor Ferris of Michigan took hold of the strike situation in the copper country tonight. With his coming a practical fruce went into effect and both sides of the difficulty expressed a willing- ness to awalt his findings before ini- tiating new measures in the Industrial warfare. The governor's announcement that he hoped to find some method of settling the struggle between the copper mine owners and the Western Federation of Miners fafled, however, to influence the attitude of defiance towards each other which the opposing interests have held for flve months, “We made enough concessions wien John B. ensmore of the federal de- partment of labor was here last wele,” said O, N. Hilton, chief of counsel for the federation. “We went as far as we could toward finding some wa v which the striking miners might re- turn to work. Now it is distinctly ‘up to' the companies. If the governor cen obtain from them some sort of definite proposition which we can con- sider without humiliating ourselves, then thero may be some chance for success of his mission.” The company promouncements were less definite, but they agreed that the visit of the state executive might be productive of considerable good. The operators express confidence in Gov- ernor Ferris’ ability to grasp the sit- uatfon and express the belief that no harm can come fo their interests by 2 thorough inguiry into the causes, conduct and status of the strike, TANGO DANCE GIVEN A BILL OF HEALTH So Modest That It “Bored” One Eng- lish Peeress “to Tears.” _ London, Jan. §—A special matince ferformance given today at a London theatre for the edification of peeresses and church dignitaries who recently publicly expressed disapproval of the tango resulted in giving practically a clean bill of modesty for the mueh- discusged dance.

Brown, wife of the late Col. James Brown, for many years a resident of North Stonington, passed away Monday morning after an filness of 18 days at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Frank A. Bindloss of Mystic, with whom she had made her home for;the past year and a half. | Mrs. Brown was in her 69th year, of her age, having been born in Por mouth, R. I, in 1845. She was marrted to Col. Brown in 1868 and for the first few years of thefr married life resided in Savannah, Ga. About the vear 1877 they returned to North Stonington and settled on the Brown homestead, r maining there until the death of Col. Brown in 1911. She is survivied by five children, Miss Bessie Brown of Hartford, J. Frank Brown and Mrs. Harriet Beckett of North Stonington, Mrs. Myra Dawson of Birmingham, Alabama, and Mrs. Helen Bindloss of Mystic, all of whom were near her during her last days. Mrs. Brown's life was rich in its strength of influence in her home and tractive and kindly spirit won wherev- er she was known. She was indeed a Wwoman in whom the heart of her hus- band could safely trust and her child- ren rise up and call her blessed. She not only had many friends in her own community by reason of her attractive interest and participation in the Con- gregational church of which she was a member and in other associations of the community life, but through the public lips of her= husband she was brought into touch with many outside of her immediate neighborbood and a large number of these will feel & sense of personal loss. Such lives have a power and inspira- tion that cannot be estimated. The world is the richer for them and the fragrances of the “sweet flower of a blameless life” lingers long after the frail vase which held it has been broken. The family will have the deepest sympathy from thefr large circle of friends and acquaintances. Whitman 8. Mead. Greenwich, Conn., Jan. 5.—Former County Commissioner Whitman S.
