Salavador Mercado, Huerta's rorfmer military chief, who ordered tflc evacuation of OJinuga in face of the rebel fire. General Mercado, riding on a horse, his uniform covered with dust, was confessedly humiliated, not only at the defeat of his army and the necessity for his flight, but also because of a report from Mexico City that he would be courtmartialcd if he returned to his native country. The picturesque mnrch afoot through American terlrtory of so many foreign soldiers and women with their baggage, abounded with incident. The birth of a child, the death of several wounded soldiers, the search for water In the desert, the constunt straggling away from the line of march and the rounding up again of scores of the refugees were some of the difficulties with which the United States cavnirymen had to contend. The Mexicans outnumbered the escorting American soldiers, ten to one. Viewed from a hilltop, the oncoming army as it zigzagged through the mountain passes and reached backward into the dusty distance ten miles away, was a picture of exhaustion, although the prospect of soon reaching their destination seemed to revive fresh courage. BIRDMAN DASHES TO DEATH Arthur E. Perry Drowned at Tampa While Making Flight. Tampa, Flu.?Arthur E. Ferry, rormerly a member of the army aviation corps, and known In army circles as Captain Hick, fell into the Hllsbor-1 ough river here, after making a parachute leap of 1,000 feet nnd was drowned, lie was an expert swimmer, but became entangled in the ropes of his parachute and could not swim out. Ferry was accompanied on the flight and parachute jump by Manuel Perez, leaving an amusement part at four o'clock. Two parachutes were used i and Perez made a successful lauding about fifty feet from where Perry landed in the water. Perez called to a party In a motor boat nearby, efforts at once being ( made to rescue Perry, but the river current was swift and the spot where Perry fell was lilled with debris from i a fallen tree in which the ropes of the parachute became entangled. i Safety for Ocean Travelers.

GOVERNMENT MEETS GENERAL 1 STRIKE ORDER BY DECLAR- 1 ING MARTIAL LAW. 1 Feeling Is Very Bitter Throughout the Country?Naiives Are Feared. Cape Town, Union of South Africa.? ' A general strike throughout South Africa was proclaimed by the Trades 1 Federation, and the Rand miners, by 3 a two-thirds majority, voted to join in the movement. Governmental retaliation was swift in the form of the 1 proclamation of martial law. This was the only ster the authorl- 1 ties believed adequate to meet the sit- 1 nation, for the strike of the miners means not only the turning loose of the most turbulent spirits in the Rand. ' but raises the whole question of the r position of the native workers. If the 1 miners actually obey the strike order, 1 the government will immediately take steps to send the nutives, under es- ' cort, back to their kraals. c This means that ahout two hundred s thousand natives must bo marched ' back by road to their hcn.cs enor- ' mous cost. It will be most difficult. 1 after the end of the strike, to recruit ' them again. In brief, such a step v would mean disaster for the Rand for ' many years. Although official imports from the 1 city of Johannesburg show Improve- '' ment in the train service, reports from other districts are less encouraging. f In Natal the situation is one of great 1 tension, nnd it is feared that the loy- * alty of the trainmen will not stand the ^ strain much longer. An instance of the men's temper is shown by the ac- ' tion of an engine driver who quit his 11 train on the Veldt and left the passengers stranded. [ Practically no information is at hand as to conditions in the Orange Free ^ States, but improvement there is not considered probable. HUERTA DEFAULTS ON DEBT * o Dictator Announces No Interest Will e Be Paid on Debts. e Mexico City.?After a nieeteing of C the cabinet, which lasted all night, the p Mexican foreign minister, Querido Me- \ lieno, announced that the Mexican gov- h ernment will default in tho payment h of all interest on tho bonds of the h internal and external debts, which now ii remains unpaid or which falls due with- o in the next six months. A heavy pay- Ii ment of interest on the foreign debt ti becomes duo in April. tl It has been the practice of the gov- b ernment to mnke weekly remittances a to New York, London and Paris to ap- h ply on its interest obligations, in or- t] der that when the interest payment periods arrived the money would be N in hand. Those weekly remittances now have been suspended, the explana- ti tlon being that the government re- o quires all available funds for paclfi- o cation purposes. s o Connecticut Folks Are Money Savers, o Hartford, Conn.?More than half the ti oeoDle who live In fiiwnnu?M?.i? ??-? - deposits in the savings bunks, accord- lj ing to the annual report of the state n bank commissioners.

He served one term in :he legislature from Lowndes county, jut ever atferwards avoided holding political office, though he was a leader n the Democratic party in Georgia.

Rescue One of Most Notable Ever Accomplished on the Atlantic Coast. Yarmouth, N. S.?Snatched from what seemed almost certain death, the 108 passengers and crew of the Itoyal Mall Packet Cobequid are safe In Yarmouth harbor. Wireless appeals for assistance, which she had first made thirty-six hours tyefore, were answered as the doomed steamer was being racked to pieces on Trinity Rock, six miles off Port Maitland. The rescue will go down in shipping annals as one of the most notable ever accomplished on tho Atlantic coast. The Cobequid had begun to break up under the cannoning of the terrific seas that had been merciless from the time the vessel struck. Quantities of cargo covered the waters as the lifeboats ranged alongside. The coastal steamers Westport and John L. Cann were first to get their small boats into the water and they wero followed soon by boats of the government steamer 1-ansdowne and the steamer Rappahannock. As the work of rescue "progressed the seas subsided and no mishap marred the triumph over the waves. AN AGREEMENT IS REACHED Secretary Garrison and Representatives of National Guard Agree. Washington. ? Secretary Garlrson and adjutants general representing National Guard organizations of more than thirty states agreed on terms of the proposed militia pay bill, under which the federal government would provide for militiamen, who, in turn, would enlist as "federal reservsist" subject to the call of the president to duty either within the United States or abroad. It is proposed that the militia bill shall provide nn annual appropriation of $14,500,000. Of this $4,000,000 would be for encampment and maneuver purposes, ^8,000,000 for home service pay and $2,500,000 for armament and equipment. The committee that conferred with Secretary Garrison comprised Brlgudier General Martin, Texas; Hrigadier General Stewart, Pennsylvania; Brigadier General Sadley, New Jersey, and Brigadier General Young, Illinois. Brigadier General Crowder, judge advocate general of the army, and Brigadier General Mills, chief of the division of militia affairs, were present. Kills Wife; Wounds Chauffeur.

C.?The state senate killed the so-called "eugenics bill," which was endorsed by the South Carolina Medical Association, by a# vote of 22 to 17. The bill required the production of medical certificates of freedom from disease on the part of male applicants before the issuance of marriage licenses. Senator Carlisle of 8partanburg moved that the bill be indefinitely postponed, saying that ft was too much ahead of the times and that Wisconsin, with a similar measure in force, was having trouble.

Washington.?The till proposing the building of a Government railway in Alaska encountered its first vigorous opposition in ihe Senate when Senator McCuniber attacked it as the first step toward "the realm of pa- j ternalistic and socialistic govern- | ment." Until the North Dakota Senator spoke, Senator Williams was the only member who hau directly stated his purpose of opposing the measure on which there is an agreement for a final vote soon. Amendments adopted soon by the Committee or Territories would provide for the taking over by the Government of any existing lines necessary. by purchnse or "ondeninatinn I An amendment providing for a Gov- i eminent steamship lino from the coast terminal of tno road to ports 1 on the Pacific coast was rejected. | Senator McCumber attacked the i whole theory of Government ownership. He said experience had shown that it cost the Government twice as much as a private concern to operate any enterprise. Arguments presented for agricultural development in A n.ska, he said, were without merit, the fact being that the great majority of the products named in statistic.', come from districts accessible by sea or which it was not proposed to tap with the projected railroad. During the discussion of Alaska's coal resources Senator Clark of Wyoming declared that wlitle chemical tests had "shown Bering district coal to be better than the West Virginia product? actual naval tests aboard ship proved that "the Bering field absolutely falls down" in supplying coal the Navy could use. Senator James replied that he had a letter from a former member of Congress saying that the coal used in the naval tests aboaid the cruiser Maryland did not furnish a fair sample of the product of the field.
