San Antonio, Tex., July 18.?Noth-|
ing short of absolute unconditional
surrender of the federal government
will be accepted by the Mexican con
stitutionalists, according to Roberto V.
Pesqucira, recently confidential agent
of General Carranza in Washington,
who reached Sun Antonio, today en
route to Carranza's headquartere via |
El Paso.
"Carbajal 1b not,a neutral," said Mr.
Pesquiera. "Hefte a Btrong Huertlsta
and bis selection by Huerta as presi
dent ad interim was in pursuance of a
plan of tho Huertlsta cient?fico com
missione to attempt to extort some
sort of a favorable compromise from
the constitutionalists. He was put in
as part of Huerta's plan to secure for
himself and his friends all the favors
possible, but they will be fruitless."
Virtually a Truce.
Washington, July 18.?There has j
been no formal agreement between tbe j
opposing Mexican factions, but an ar
mistice virtually is in effect through

tosi by federal forcea as a manifesta
tion of the faith of tbe Carbajal gov

Carbajal reaches Cenerai Carranza,

Tuesday, no definite developments
relating to a further change of gov
ernment at Mexico City Is looked for.
Reports from Vera Cruz which said

advices. Lately, however, there has
been an understanding between the
constitutionalists and Zapatas relat
ing to military forces sind no move is
expected, unies it be sanctioned by
General Carranza.

Question, Felt Himseli
at Governor, Using 1
Pandemonium Br?ks

?Norwood Latei
(Special to The lutelllgcncor)
Greenville, July 18.?Probably the'
bitterest display of partiean feeling
exhibited in South Carolina since the
nineties marked the senatorial cam
paign meeting here today. A small
riot which occurred when Gov. Cole L.
Blease was speaking bade fair at one
time to get beyond control of the
officers and of cooler heads, and to re
sult in the shedding of much blood.
It is considered remarkable that it
was checked in its incipleney. As it
was, Bcveral men carry reminders of it
In the shape of slight bruises.
' During the speech Governor
Blease, J. W. Norwood, president of
the Norwood National Bank of this
city, asked him to explain "the Dr. Mc
Intosh Incident," referring to the re
pudiation by Dr. Jas. H. Mclntosh, of
Columbia, of an aflldavit which Blease
read at the Abbeville meeting purport-1
Ing to have been made by Dr. Mcln
toali and the late Dr. A. R Knowlton.
The governor replied "When I talk
about a man it is in his home town.
When I get to Columbia, I expect to
request Dr. Mclntosh to take a scat on
the stand and to answer him like one
gentleman answers another; not as a
coward to his hack like you.."
Applied String Epithet.
To thie Mr. Norwood replied: "You
are a dirty lying-" and
sprang at the governor. It took the
united efforts of a dozon men to hold
the angry man from the chief execu
tive. Email of stature, but strong, he
pushed his way until at one time it
looked as If be would olude those who
were, holding him and wouhl-succecd
i? .reaching the governor.. However.,
he was finally shoved dr.vn the steps
to the grourvl where a free-for-all
S?ht ensued, ?n ??hieb many figured.
Sheriff Ashley, of Anderson county,
was among those present ,and a man
with a pistol started at him exclaim
ing that he was "going to shoot that
d-sheriff of Anderson county." He
wag grabbed by cooler heads. Sberle
Rector, of Greenville, received a sting
ing blow on the forehead and in re
turn administered e. stinging blow to
Bome one, badly bruising his hand in
so doing.
There was considerable indigna
tion felt towards Sheriff Rector but he
issued a statement this afternoon de
claring that he went to the assistance
of Mr. Norwood, as he thought the lat
ter was going to-be killed.
It has been impossible to ascertain
the names of the participants In the
fighting which took place off the 'stand.
Bleaseltes Were Hooted.
Following Governor Blease's speech,
some 400 or 500 of his followers left
amid the hoots of those who remained
?some 3,000 In all. Messrs. Jennings
and Pollock followed with the bitter
est speeches they bave mude during
the campaign and were wildly cheered
by the crowd, which had by this timo
becomo wrought up to the highest
pitch. Jennings made what was said
to have been his greatest speech of
the campaign. He l8 a friend of Mr.
Norwood and showed plainly that he
was angry as he spoke. He made an
eloquent appeal to the crowd to wipe
Bleaselsm and lawlessness, one and
the same, forever from South Caro
lina, . He said that no one man could
deter him from exposing the damnable
record of Governor Blease on every
stump In South Carolina, nor could
any dozens prevent him from so do
ing.
W. P. Pollock was greeted with loud
applause and- immediately launched
Into the greatest speech he hoe made
In iho prosent campaign according to
hearers who hare heard them all.
He was mercllees. 'In his denuncia
tion of Blease. After be had been
pecking for a fow. minutes a heav.v
shower began to fall. The crowd re
fused to leave and refmed to let th?
speaker stop...' They stend' In tho
drenching 'rain and cheered v as the
speaker scored point after point
against the governor.
. congressman LoTer There.
Another most unusual feature of the
meeting was , the injection of Con
gress man , F. Lever, a spectator, in
to the campaign. Lover woe greeted
with wjM applause when he made his
statement. Senator Smith took ad
vantage of Mr. Lever's presence to
repudiato the chargea that tho Sin Ith
Lover blU was not the bill of E. D.
Smith. Ho stated that tho "bill which
had been agreed upon in conference
by the house and senate was this bill"
and that Mr. Lever was present and
would so stato if the audience wished.
Governor Blease when he arose to
speak asked Congressman Lever to
state if the bill had been agreed upon
In-conference as Mr. Smith had said.
Mr.-Lever replied that "It had not"
The followers of the governor cheered
wildly. Senator Smith then ael&d

Mr. Lover if tbe Associated Fresa dis

plied that "tboy hid." Then the anti
?a? folks broke into a demonstra
tion. Governor Blease, with Mr. Lever
present, did noi question Senator
Smith's authorship of the hill.
Colled tho fifvernor Down.
At ono timo it looked as if Governor
Blease was not going to he permitted
to speak. When he made what the
crowd considered ?. misquotation of
Senutor Smith's remarks, the crowd
angrily shouted at him that "Smith
didn't say it." Tho' governor corrected
himrolf but the crowd, angered by the
incident, would not let him speak un
til Chairman Modney had appealed
for order.
Governor Blease's speech was inter
rupted several times, once by the
small riot und frequently by the jeer
ing of the crowd.
Senator Smith^was given an ovation
wlton he was introduced. He wus
bothered a little i.t first by the bunch
of Blease-people who were congregat
ed on one aide, but toward the last re
ceived splendid attention. He was ap
plauded long sind loud when he lin -
ir.hcd.
Pollock RoSKts Mease.
W. P. Pollock in his speech declar
ed Blease would Beiror fuce J. W. Nor
wood and tell h ini that he was a cow
ard. He was merciless in his denun
ciation of Blease and Bleaseiem and
predicted that the people of Greenville

j badges would toa*' them oft after they
}bad-heard hin rec^r?j Ho said bo-was
tired of hear ine? a.- demagogue run all
over tho- stato posing-as the defender
of women, when'.he "was lined up
with a crowd that would rob a '.vornan
of her ctaa-racter.i' referring to the
asylum investigation.
Following Mr. Pollock's speech, the
crowd'called for Norwood and the lat
ter took the stand, making a bitter
speech. He declared..that If the pa
pers had quoted Dr. Mclntosh and Dr.
Jervey, of Green-viUe, correctly
"Blease was a dirty, infamous liar."
Ho spoke tor ten minutes vigorously
denouncing Blease and Sheriff Rector,
of -Greenville county. The crowd was
aroused to the highest pitch during
the speechea of Messrs. Jennings and
Pollock and members of the audience
frequently shouted out, "down with
Bleaeo," "away with Bleaae," etc.
The governor left the city for Pel
zer in an automobile immediately af
ter concluding his speech.

making comment upon the. occur
rences at the Greenvillo campaign

Governor Blease told the Pelzer au
dience that Friday night he had spok
en to six or neven thousand pooplc on

meeting at Greenville Saturday was
the largest crowd he ever saw gather
oil nt a campaign meeting.

hind the wagon were 1,000 men wear
ing Cole. L. 3Iease badges and car
rying a Bleaae banucr, constituting

nounced the new primary rules, de
claring their only obloct to be to cut
