The strongest ceneorshtp on all

Mexico City. Government officials
took charge of the cajale office short

and ruthlessly discarded messages of
correspondents to their papers.
Code messages and all messages
containing any expressions whatever
that might be construed into a sug

Nevertberless several doepatches of

an early bulletin was flashed throrgh
that the armistice, signed at two
o'clock Susday morning, had boen
broken and that both aides wer?

i..v bi' ailily growing worse. All bus
iness. both public and private except
that connected with the war, has
ceased. Even the general post office
has closed ifs doors and many of its
employees are carrying rifles In the
ranks of the federal army.
Five days of fighting in the streets
of the Mexican capital, has, in the
opinion of close observers done more
to change the sentiment oJ Mexi
cans in regard to intervention than
has the entire two-year period of
revolution.
Months ago a quiet feeling began
to develop among a few of the bettor
rlass of Mexicans In favor of outside
assistance, but It found no public ex
pression at that time. The senti
ment has steadily grown, however,
and the events of the past few days
have strengthened it trorr^ndously.
The subject Is now frankly discussed
by Mexicans and foreigners, and fre
quently it Is a Mexican citizen who
expresses the opinion publicly, that
the United States or some other pow
er, or powers, Jointly should inter
vene.
The fighting in the streets Satur
day was as savage as on any other
day of the week’s battle. The Amer
ican embassy again came directly
within the line of Are and the Ameri
can ambassador, Henry Lane Wilson,
had a narrow escape from.a rifle bhl-
let which whistled close to his head.

Ohio. 11 e w.is slichtly wound
ed two davs ago while pass’ng
th.. streets Saturday a shell crash
ed into Porter's Hotel and killed him.
The wife of R. M. Meredith was Miss
Jett, of Cynthina, Ky. The couple
were on their honeymoon. Sidney.
Sutherland, correspondent of a Salt
T.ake City newspaper, but a resident
of Mexico City, was wounded by the
same shell.
Official advices received from Am
bassador Wilson tell of the narrow
escape of the British minister, Fran
cis \Y. Strange, from Federal bullets
while on his way to a conference at
the American embassy on Saturday.
The automobile in which Mr. Strange
was riding escorted by a Federal
guard, was struck in several places.
This gives some slight indication of
the dangers encountered by the diplo
matic representatives in their endeav
ors to bring ah opt a peace settlement.
Further advices from the ambassdor
say that the majority of the Ameri
can residents have found places of
relative safety, although a few of
them have refused to abandon their
homes.
Hostilities between the Mexican
Federals and rebels were resumed
with great fierceness in the Mexican
capital Sunday after a truce which
lasted only a few hours. The armis
tice, signed at two o’clock Sunday
morning by the representatives of
both sides agreeing to suspetrd oper
ation for twenty-four hours, was
broken before noon Soon the sound
of haary cannonadisg and the whirr
of machine guns announced the re-

The provisional hanking institu
tion established for American resi
dents who find themselves in difficul
ties has been meeting their demands
with currency. Aside from the ques-
t4on of money, however, the situa
tion has been rendered more difficult
by the failure of vegetables and oth
er farm produce to reach the city for
some days. During the night quant
ities enter, but not nearly enough to
supply the demand, and meat is
something 'With which thousands
have had no acquaintance for days.
FYryan says the weekly country
newspapers of the nation are the true
guardians of the people's liberties, as
they are owned, as a general thing,
by the men who edit them, and are
free from corporation control. We
believe this is true, not only of the
country press of South Carolina, but
of the city dailies also. If there is
a corporation controlled newspaper In
this State, we have never heard of It.

be solved more easily than Is genei-

every fly you find in the winter time.
Flies milvlted take refuge in your
homes from the winter cold and pre
serve themselves to go out and bred
with the returb of spring. On warm
days they come from their hiding
places and buzz about the dining
room or kitchen. Then is the time to
kill them! You can do It easily and
