(Hy Associated Press)
Durango. Mex.. June 2.-(Delayed in
transmission)-Three decisive engage
ments with Federal troops between
Zacatecas and San Luis Potosi were
won by the constitutionalists on May
30 and 31, according to reports re

Colonel Ferdinando Keyes, with six
hundred men of the command of Gen

Munitions of VYur.
Washington, June 2.-Ammunition
for the Mexican constitutionalists left
American ..hores from New York today
bound for Tampico, while Mexican me
diation apparently marked time at Ni

block in thc negotiations.
Information that the steamer An
tills, which recently was fired on by
constitutonalists outside Tampico,
had left New York with munitions' of
war. created considerable stir in
Washington.
Up to the present Tampico has been
regarded a8 an open port. The United
States, however, has sought to main
tain an embargo on arms to Mexico
across the border and last Frlduy.
when I; became apparent munitions of
war for the constitutionalists were
Peing prepraed for such shipment
from New York, no order was issued
to stop shipment.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN WEST
ERN PART OF THE CITY
THIS MORNING
GLENN ST. SCHOOL
Cause of Fire Unknown-Build
Finuhed In January Cost Near
ly $10,000 and Was Fine One
At an early liourvjthis morning
dhe tire department [was called to
the West Hud on account of the
school in that section being on
tire. The cause of the tire could
not be learned, but \ the Hames
seem to have had some headway
and the building wap almost a
complete loss. It \va[s just finished
and occupied a shore time ago, be
ing built by Mitchell & ?ox of
Relton, and the architects were
Sayre 6t Baldwin of this city.
This was said to be the most
(beautiful unit in the city's sys
tem of public school^ and the loss
will bc keenly felt. The insur
ance will in part cover the loss.
The building was. valued at
S9.000 outside of its equipment.
The fire was under ihe celling in
the roof of the building und was hard
lo get at. In addittibn to tins the
firemen hud no water. \ There was one
stretch of hose 2,000 feet and another
1.500 feet, and the wat?r was obtained
through a 4-inch math, which made
it impossible to put much of u stream
on the building on a high point.
There was much aebculation as to
the cause of the tir?.?pme conjectur
ing dfcective wlrtngjiwhlle ethers
thought lhere might."h?ve been some
perseus in t he. building during the
night. v
People at the lire this morning said
that the janitor of the building en
tered thc- place , about 6 o'ciock but
was seen to lea,/e lils pipe on thc out
side of the biulding before he entered,
lt is believed by Borne that a party of
gamblers had entered Ute building and
tho fire originated in this manner.
The Glenn street school was one of
the prettiest in the city and this morn
ing it is completely destroyed, witli
nothing but the wails left.
