Cunard-Cum- mins at Torreon—Important Federal Defeat at San Pedro Vera Cruz April 9—The American | consulate has received word from the | consular agent at Tuxpan that grave | rumors are current there that Tampi- | co has fallen. While there is no;cen- | firmation of this, it is known that there | has been serious fighting between the federals and rebels around that port. The British steamer Teesdale, from | New York March 13, which is now at Tampico, has been unable to dis- charge her cargo and asked permission by wireless to come here. Late reports from Tampico say that the Mexican gunboats are successtully defending the town, but are doing much_damage by bad marksmanship. The Waters-Pierce Oil storage tank at Arbol Grande was set on fire and many other tanks were hit, large quantities of oil flowing into the river. Federals Reported Hard Pressed. Many shells from the Mexican war- ships Vera Cruz and Zaragoza -have fallen near the American war vessels in the river. The federals are report- ed to be so hard pressed that all the jefe politicos throughout the country have been ordered to force enlistments to the utmost. The gunboat Brave is being made ready for sailing from here to Tampi- co, with 300 troops and ammunition, which have been urgently requested by the Tampico garrison. The warehouse of the Agufla Oil Company was destroved in the fight- ing at Tampico, according to a wire- less despatch received here tomight. It caught fire from the shells of the Zaragoza. The loss Is estimated at $100,000. Tampico is reported to be enveloped in smoke from the burning oil tanks.

Cummins refused to take the message, arguing that he was neutral and should not mix in political affairs of “At this Villa became very angry and said we foreigners were demand- ing that he protect foreigners and be humanitarian in his acts, and that at the very first opportunity given us to do_some good we refused.

Cum- mins agreed to go, so I wrote some instructions to Mr. Ulme; Cummins left about 5 o'clock and was to return about noon next day. The interview with Villa and he shook hands, called each other “amigos™ and parted In-the best of spirits.” The Ulmer mentioned in the report is I. M. Ulmer, United States consular agent at Torreon.

New York, April 9.—A statement by Dr. William J. Mayo that the preva- lence of cancer is perhaps traceable to laymen one of the salient opinions in a maze of technical discussions at the opening of the American Surgical a: sociation’s annual convention today. Dr. Mayo, who is a delegate from Rochester, Minn., and president of the association, is a recognized expert on cancer. He expalined that cancer of the stomach formed a third of ail cancer cases among civillzed peoples. “Is there some fundamental fault in the food or in the cooking of civilized men that gives such a preponderance to pro-cancerous conditions in the-] gastric region?” he asked. ‘‘Among the lower animals cancer of the stomach does not form nearly such a large pro- portion of the total number of cases.” Dr. Mayo said that the amount of meat consumed undoubtedly had some- thing to do with the prevalence of cancer. He explained then, other kinds of cancer, among them the pe- culiar form which attacks the mouths of the natives of India, brought on by an irritation due to chewing betel nuts. Cancer of the groin, according to Dr. Mayo, is confined almost entire- 1y _to chimney sweeps and sailors. During a discussion abgut the ad- sability of operating for appendicitis Dr. James E, Moore of Minneapolis said that he felt that the removal of the appendix was “an interference with the designs of the Lord. Dr. A. G. Gerster, a New York sur- gecn, replied that if this were “true, all surgery wouid have to be regarded as an interference with Providence. The discussion followed a paper on “The Two St Operation,” read by Dr. George W. Crill of Cleveland, O. “We must put ourselves in the pos tion of our patient,” continued Dr. Gerster. “If I had to undergo an op- I would rather take a little risk to get it over with one extra clip.” The present convention s prelimi- nary to the international congress of surgeons, which will meet hers Mon- day, with representatives from parts of the United States and most ol the European countries. Fifty of the foreign delegates ar- rived on the steamship Imperator to- ay. ALCOHOL MAY BE USED INSTEAD OF GASOLINE. Production of Latter Not Enough to Meet Demands of Motorists. Cincinnati, O., April 3.—Some rather curious statistics were brought forth at the convention of the American Chemical soclety here today for the ‘benefit of automobilists. In his address on “Some Bconomic Phases of the Use of Gasoline” Prof. Benjamin T. Brooks declared that gasoline is rapidly = proaching the 40 cents a gallon mark, at whieh point, Professor Brooks de- clared, alcohol would be an active com- petitor. He estimated the present production of gasoline in America to be 25 million barrels of 42 gallons each, and that it is behind the demand made on it by motor vehicles, dry cleaners and vari- ous industries. To replace this amount of gasoline by 96 per cent. alcohol made from corn would require 450,000,000 bushels, Professor Brooks saa. Discussion was aroused over the paper read by Dr. Edward Gudeman of Chicago, in which he said that the in- halation' of sulphurous acid fumes by patients in the incipient phases of tu- berculosis had greatly aided in their cure. Dr. Gudeman said that this method of helping those afflicted with tuberculosis had been known for some time by physicians and chemists, but had never been publicly” announced un- il today. The convention closed tonight with 2 banquet. spect industrial conditions in that city, PRINCETON STADIUM | Estimated Cost ls $300,000—Will Seat 41,000 Persons. Princeton, N.
