ATTACH THE REBELS" r BATTLE RAGES IN STREETS OF MEXICO cur. r DETAILS OF THE FIGHT \ President Madero Orders Loyal Troojwi to Attack the Rebels, Who Intrenched in the Arsenal, and Thousand Soldiers Are Killed and Many Are Seriously Wounded. A dispatch from Mexico City says the Federals and rebels fought a sev?n-hour drawn battle in the heart of ( that city Tuesday. When darkness put an end to the fighting neither side appeared to have gained any marked advantage. Estimates of the casualties run as high as 1,000, although accurate information cannot be obtained at this time. The dead certainly will be counted by the hundreds. Artillery played the chief part in the day's lighting, but rifle tire was kept up continuously, though more or less inellicient. Gen. Felix Diaz, in his arsenal stronghold, appeared as defiant as any time since he was released from prison by the mutinous soldiers, and promises a repetition of the terrific bombardment, the fierceness of which is attested by the many partially destroyed structures within a radius of half a mile. The greatest loss of life resulted in a charge of rurales who, with a daring amounting to foolhardiness, moved against a rebel batter# which mowed down men and horses. The firing grew much lighter as the afternoon wore along, but the artillery action always was the dominating feature. For the most part the artillery fire on both sides was ftcept reasonablyl low, but not infrequently shells streamed across the mil p oml clironnol f1 ir? .!!?rrif>lH far from the zone of fighting. The Government troops advanced from ifour directions, Gen. Angeles from the west; General Cauz from the north; General Maas from the south, and General Delgade from the east. Toward the end of the battle they were crowded close together and from his position in San Diego street, General Cauz sent hundreds of solid allot against the arsenal, one corner of which was destroyed. Early in the afternoon Gen. Diaz aaw to it that his men held the fire. The quantity of ammunition used by the Federals was far greater than by the rebels. Apparently the less frequent fire from the rebel positions was more effective and calculations sire that the rebel loss in killed and wounded was considerably smaller than that of the Government forces. The cannon of the Federals eventually were silenced by the rebels, but the extent of the damage to the rebel artillery is not known outside their own lines. The streets in which the fighting occurred present a dilapidated apperance. One of the buildings which suffered most is that in which the American consulate general was located and from which the consul and his staff were forced to flee. The Federal assault on the rebels, fortified in and around the arsenal, began at 10:15 o'clock in the morning and late in the afternoon no material advantage had been gained by either side. It appeared, however, that the rebelB, who were holding slightly improved positions, were <oonserving their fire. Many assaults Against them had been repulsed. The - -a. i l - ~ _ . i CT.OBi serious loss susiuiueu auiuug i the Federals was the death of Col. Castillo, an efficient officer, who was allot near the Y. M. C. A. building nvhlle leading a roconnoitering party, ft is said that 300 men have desert?ed the Diaz standard within twenty-four hours, going over to the Federals. All through the night the Federal commanders were placing their men dn position. Twenty cannon, some ?of heavy calibre, had been brought iln from the outlying district. Ruira>e* were engaged in transporting ammunition. From above the arsenal, Gen. Felix Diaz floated his red flag of defiance. The rebels appeared no less ready for battle than the Federals. Orders were issued to the detachments guarding all approaches to the arsenal to retire on the appearance of any armed force. But Diaz did not rely entirely on his forces in the arsenal district. He dispatched a few hundred men with artillery to a point in the northwest of the city. TheBe guns dominated Chapultepec, but they were held in readiness to strike the Federals in the flank or rear. The Government was most optimistic regarding the close of the battle. Ernesto Madero said the showing made and the temper of the Federals were entirely satisfactory. "We hardly expected to dislodge max today," he said. "Since hlfl position Is well fortified, hnt we have sufficient forces and elements of war to succeed and cannot fall to do so. Gen. Aurellano 1s not here and Is not coming, probably because be Is needed to control the Zapatista forces, Who might, otherwise Improve the onfKfcrtniitty to enter the c*tv. We now fjave four thousand men and more VfiHehle If necessary, with plenty of * artillery.M * . J * MENACE OF MINERS THREATEN DEATH TO GOVERNOH OE STATE. Troops Sent Into the Coal District as Result of Worst Conditions in Mountains. A dispatch from Charlestown, W. Va., says conditions late Thursday in the coal strike district of Kanawka county were regarded as serious. The lives of Gov. Glasscock, Adjt. Gen. Elliott, Sheriff Hill and of every member of the military force now in the field had been tliroatened. According to reports over 1,500 minors held a meeting with sympathisers and declared war. At this meeting, it is said, threats were made and copies of the resolution were posted at Montgomery, W. Va. When the military authorities were notified of the action, soldiers were immediately sent to Montgomery Humors which caused apprehension were to the effect that 'an attempt, was to be made to release all miners under arrest. Militia was immediately dispatched to Paint Creek to fortify a small force stationed there now. Striking coal miners whose most recent reign of lawlessness has just been checked by an active State militia, descended upon the State capltol and were cleared from the building only after a riot call had brougnt a large force of policemen. In ejecting the miners from the building several persons were slightly hurt. It had been reported that the minors were coming to forcibly take charge of the capitol. The legislature, fearing further bribery charges, and with several of its members under arrest, was in session when the reports of the miners' proposed invasion w^re brought in. It was not believed, but when the men began coming into the building the riot call was sent in. The legislature continued in session undisturbed by the commotion in the corridors. Early Thursday night warrants were sworn out for "Mother" Jones, well known in labor circles of the country; C. P. Boswell, editor of a Socialist paper, and Frank Hartley and Paul J. Paulson, said to ne connected with the international organI ization of miners. They are charged with conspiracy and as accessories before the fact in the death of Frod Bobbett, one of the victims of a recent riot near Mucklow, W. Va. Only Boswell has been arrested. With the wholesale arrests Thursday the military court which convened Thursday has upwards of 150 cases to be considered. Althougn wire service from the troubled zone was partially established Thursday only meagre details of the riots sev/iova orrft imvo hpAn received ci ai uu/ u uf,v/ MM * w The military has taken possession of the wires for official business. Whether more than 16 persons, as first reported, were killed, can not be ascertained. W. O. Bobbett, a mine superintendent, whose brother wa3 a victim of the riots, stated Thursday that judging from his reports at least 2 6 persons had been killed. Four additional companies of militia were ordered to the strike district Thursday night by Gov. Glassock. TALKS SOUND SENSE. What Senator Tillman Says About Mexican Trouble A dispatch from Washington says most senators declined to discuss tho situation in Mexico. A notable exception was found in Senator Tillman. He said: "I think the president ought to be very, very cautious how he involves this country in war Just at the closa of his administration. I know of no greater misfortune that could happen to us right now than to have such a war forced on the country. The situation is a very fine illustra tlon of 'You will be damned ir you do and you will be damned if you don't,' especially If you do. Let us do what Is necessary to protect the honor of our country and no more; If we have to go there let us get away as soon as possible." To the offer of Senor De La Barra to mediate, If he considered that course advisable, the President replied that he had no desire to deal with the rebels, except through the medium of shot and shells. The position of the rebels, he declared to be fataliy weakened by the desertion of 160 artillery men, who operated guns for the Administration forces. Senor De La Barra sent a message to President Madero saying: "In the name of humanity and as a Mexican who is free of all political and revolutionary parties, I wish to offer my feet peace without further bloodshed." Madero replied, thanking him, but declaring that no terms other than unconditional surrender could he made with Diaz. That the President is determined to make this a finish fight is evident, though no more so than Diaz, who realizes that there will be no clemency in caRe of surrender. Almost within a stone's throw i forces, each armed with more than ' twenty cannon, apparently expect to I continue the struggle regardless of the loss of ljfe. I BILL IS INTRODUCED J TO TIGHTEN UP PRIMARY RAWS IN THIS STATE. fl Senator Nicholson Explained Measure Wednesday Night Which He | Introduced in the Senate. The bill by Senator Nicholson to tighten up the primary laws was ex- ' plained to the senate Wednesday night and was called Thursday morning for action Some amendments were proposed by Senator Nicholson, and the bill as amended provides in brief for the appointment to consist of a board of registration to cousist of three members who shall, six months before the meeting of the 1 club, make a new enrollment of all 1 voters. 1 Each voter offering to enroll must ? state his place of residence and nuni- ( ber, and a certificate with these on ( it shall bo issued. The requirements j for registration are twelve months' ( residence in state, six months In , < county and three months in voting precinct or ward. ( All club rolls are to bo closed thir- , ty days before first primary and copy ( filed with the auditor. The registration board must see < that 110 person enrolled has his name on another club, and the boards are ( to meet the first (Monday in August j to hear protests, and also have the . power of purging the rolls. Violations of the requirements tc i enroll are made punishable by fine or i imprisonment. Duplications and re- . peating are guarded against in the ] provisions of the bill. The registration boards are to be paid by the j county, and are to draw their pay on , the first Monday in August. Any per- j son denied the right of enrolling can appeal to the courts. , had practically completed his plans and specifications before the authority was given him to act as architect. iMr. Moore said that "as far as he knew, politics had nothing to do with the matter." Mr. Mitchum said that it had not been his intention to reflect on any member and withdrew his statement. I Mr. Lee of Darlington, a member of the subordinate committee from the committee on State house and grounds, which made the contract with A. W. Todd, reviewed the tranu- ( actions of the subcommittee. Ho said that he realized that the committee had exceeded its authority and had so testified before the investigating committee last year, but that the recommendations of the governor could not have been carried out satisfactorily by expending a few thousand dollars. The subcommittee may have been over enthusiastic, but Mr Todd had been employed in good faith to do the work, added Mr. Lee. "I honestly believe Mr. Todd is duo something by the State of South Carolina," declared Mr. Lee. "I do not know how much." Mr. Liles of Orangeburg and Mr. Boyd of Spartanburg opposed the appropriation of $5,000 for A. W. Dodd. 'Mr. Die*, chairman of the ways and means committee, said that a majority of the body had agreed that Mr. Todd was due $5,000, and he intended to stand by the majority of the committee. The members who voted in favor of including the $5,000 appropriation for A. W. Todd in the bill were llie followlne: Messrs Blackwell. Brown ing, Busbee, Daniel, Dick, Goodwin, Gray, Hardin, Harrelson, Hoiley, Hunter, W. A. James, Kirby, Lee, Lumpkin, Melfi, Miller, Michum, Mixson, Moseley, Murray, Odom, Rembert, Rittenberg, W. S. Rogers, Jr., Senseney, Thompson, Vander Horst, Walker, Warner, Welch, C. C. Wycho ?32. The member who voted against Including the appropriation for A. W.

ULL VOTE OF MEMBERS j h'ifty-Tliree Voted to Muzzle the Press, While Fifty-five Voted that the Press of the State Shall Ite111 aiit Free and .Untrammelled to j i Protect tlio People. 13y two votes the house Tuesday light killed the bill to require editors of newspapers and periodicals published in South Carolina to throw ipen the columns of their journals in demand of any and every one who considered that anything appeared therein had reflected on his character or standing in the community and providing a penalty of a line of $500 and imprisonment for thirty days for failure to print free any communication which did not contain obscene language from the person who took the trouble to write it and send it to the editor. Tlio debate on the measure was the warmest which has taken place in the house at the present session, riie discussion and roll call on the bill consumed three hours Tuesday night. A feature of the debate was the frank confession of Mr. Stevenson of Chesterfield, whose name beaded the minority report of the judiciary committee in favor of the passage of the bill, that he had made a mistake of the bill, that he had made a mistake and allowed his feelings "to overcome his reason" in signing the minority favorable report. "It is with sorrow that I part from my friends of the minority," said Mr. Stevenson in speaking In favor of striking out the enacting words of the bill. "My reason has overcome my heart and I must oppose this bill." Mr. Stevenson de clared that he had been maligned by irresponsible newspapers. "But shall I, because some irresponsible whelp has done me an injustice, try to break down the freedom of the pres3, one of the foundation #iones of our liberty?" asked Mr. Stevensou. Mr. Rembert of Richland, who introduced the bill, said he knew that it would meet with opposition 01* constitutional grounds. "Shall we protect the liberty of the press or the liberty of the people?" asked LYIr. Rembert. "When a newspaper traduces your character, holds you up to the scorn and ridicule of your fellowmen, shall it not allow you to reply without making you pay for Jt?" He appealed to the members of the house to put themselves in the position of candidates for office, criticised by a newspaper, and declared that he could see nothing unfair about the bill. "Treat it as legislation to protect the people of South Carolina from having their character defamed," said Mr. Rembert. Mr. Mc Millan of Marion said that the Richland member had based his argument on the assumption that the newspaper bill was fair. "The bill takes the power of construing newspaper articles out of the hands of the courts and gives it to every man," declared Mr. McMillan. "If a newspaper lies on a man, let the court settle the matter. It would be just as fair for an editor to ask the house to extend him the floor for any length of time to reply to criticisms he might claim reflected on his character and standing as to require him to make his newspaper a speaking tube for everybody. The bill will do away with publicity in South Carolina. No newspaper is going to put Itself in a position where it can be forced to become a speaking tube for every politician who asks it." Mr. (McMillan said that it was against the law of the State now for any one to lie in print or by word ot mouth about any one else. "If that is not all the protection a man needs, he is in a bad way and ought to move out of the State," declared Mr. McMillan. He cited the fact that under the sweeping provisions of {he bill Republicans, "Bull Moosers," and negroes would have the right to practically take charge of the press of the State, making the "newspapers the property of the world at large." Mr. McMillan held that a newspaper's space was its property which might be confiscated by any one should the bill pass. "The bill is one of the worst pieces of legislation ever attempted by a Democratic legislature in South Carolina," declared Mr. McMillan In concluding. "Don't you know that a newspaper has a great advantage over a private individual" asked Mr. Ashley of Anderson. "I don't know of any newspaper monoply," replied Mr. McMillan. "Every man has a right to hia own opinion on all subjects." Mr. "McMillan said that he had no interest in any newspaper, but took a position against the bill because the general assembly had no right to discriminate against them. Mr. Wyche of Spartanburg admitted the newspapers had possibly done more for the education and advancement of the people than any o^ier agency, but declared that they had "no right to go out of their way to uiiderminu u mail's character". He i made a reference to an incident In the last campaign published by the newspapers. "It you convict an editor 111 the courts, it does not g!ve * you an opportunity to put your reply before the people," said Mr. Wyche. He said that the newspapers had advertised South Carolina as a lawbreaking state. * Mr. Stevenson of Chesterfield said . v that he regretted that a reference to the fact that he had signed the minority report in favor of the bill made it necessary for him to take the j, floor. "The measure had a personal e appeal to me because I have time a and time again been maligned by a newspapers. This was what influenc- f ed me to sign the favorable report. 8 I have been a sufferer from the care- Q | less characterization of newspapers, ( ! but I want to do what's right by South Carolina. I have borne it in I s'lence. It was beneath my dignity t to wrangle with irresponsible editors of irresponsible newspapers." 8 Mr. Stevenson said that a member of tlie judiciary committee had called e his attention to the constitutional u phases of the newspaper bill. He j, pointed out that the statement to t which the newspaper was to be fore- j ed to allow any man to reply did not j have to be false. The communica- I tion must be printed whether the ( statement which occasioned it was founded on error or truth. The . newspapers would have to open their (1 columns, no matter how long it .. might be or whom it came from. Mr. Stevenson said that the ilrst amendment made to the constitution of the y United States provided that no law r should bo passed "abridging freedom of speech or of the press". This ? same phrase occurred in the State . constitution as well. For these reasons Mr. Stevenson said he was fore- . ed to take the "back track" because ho had found that ho was on "the . wrong trail". , Mr. Epps of Sumter advocated the ^ passage of the bill, although he ad- ( mitted that he had never been at- j tacked by a newspaper. "If you sue- j ceed in -fining a newspaper editor, what is a paltry sum in comparison with tho destruction of your character?" askod Mr. Epps. "I maintain that the bill to require that you be given the right to reply in a newspaper's columns, is now an infringement on the right of the press. If it is constitutional to fine an editor, it is constitutional to require him to publish your reply." Mr. Grice of Chester, who signecj tho unfavorable majority report of tho judiciary committee on the bill, called the attention of the house to the fact that al arge majority of this committee was opposed to the bill, -1 that only four members had signed the favorable report and that one of j these had repented. "Publicity is just as much protection to the people as the courts are," said >Mr. Brice. "If you pass the bill, you run the risk of keeping the people in dark- * ness about fraud and corruption." Mr. Brice said that if the bill were a law a newspaper could not publish a report of the speech of the auchor ' of the bill withdut laying itself lia- * ble to having its columns filled with 1 replies from men who migt t consider 1 that what he had said reflected upon ( them nor could they publish court * pioceedings for the same reason. Mr. ' Brice held that the libel law passed last year protected all citizens. He 1 too, was of tho opinion that the bill, ? If it became law, would confiscate < piopeny?me uew?payci -j ojmt. j. . Mr. Liles of Orangeburg held that t enough had already been said on the i measure to prove to the uuprejudic- 1 ed that it was both unuecetfary and 1 unwise and "the entering wedge to- * ward hampering the freedom of the < press, one of the foundation st'?ues < of liberty." He stressed the fact that ] the enactment of the bill would work < a tremendous hardship on the < struggling country press, putting it < to great expense. Mr. Liles declared t that if the bill passes a board ought i to be appointed to determine when a printed statement was detrimental 1 to the character of a man and when i he should have the right to use the ) columns of a newspaper. < "There has been nothing advanced I in all the arguments for this bill ] to show that the people demand it," < declared Mr. Liles. "I am thankful 1 that the time has not yet come in i South Carolina, and I do not believe it ever Will come, when honor and i true manhood, anything pure and ( holy and good, need protection from newspapers." After concluding his strong and eloquent speech, Mr. Liles moved the previous question, which was to strike out the enacting words of the bill, and the House proceeded to kill the bill by a vote of 55 to 53. The clincher was then put on by a t vote of 57 to 50. The following members voted to 1 kill the bill: Atkinson, Darnwell, ? - ? .. ?
