"Coinpai gg the dreadnought* of

"Comparing the two navies with re?

the smallest under way in the Ameri?

largest dreadnoughts building in the
(Jerman navy have a tonnage of 28,

American navy have a tonnage of 31,
400. Comparing the dreadnoughts
now building further with reference
tu the armament, it appeared that the
four smallest (fcrman dreadnoughts

while all the dreadnoughts now build?

"It was further developed In com?

CaiTSlias?Failing in IHs Mission
Uc is Killed.
Juarez, Mexico, Peb. 2.? Francisco
; I. Ciuzmun, who figured prominently
i in the revolt against President Madero
j in Mexico City a year ago, wns execut
i ed todgy in the front yard of a hCjUSC
occupied by Gen. Frlnclsco Villa here.
IQlliman bad just com? from Havana,
where, it was Charged, he had been
given a commission by Felix Diuz to
Induce Gen. Villa to renounce Gen.
Carranai and throw the strength of
the revolution to Diaz.
As soon as he heard of the proposal
Gen. Villa gave Guzman a conference,
and after making sure of the nature
I of UlC visit, ordered the messenger
shot. Within a few minutes after his
arrival Guzman was led out of Villa's
room, stood up before an adobe wall,
and with his hands tied and eyes!
blindfolded, was executed. The shoot?
ing was done by a rebel ofllcer in
charge of the railroad who happened
to be present when the execution was
ordered.
It was at first reported that Bonaleg
Sandoval, an attorney of Mexico City,
was the victim, hut Sandoval, who was
reported to be on a similar mission
for Diaz, took refuge in the Fnitsd
States several days ago.
Guzman formerly was a private sec?
ret,u. to Dr. Bmlllo VsSQUeS Gomez.
He was known us one of the promoters
of the UrOSCo revolution against Ma
djSfO ami later joined with Huerta In
the conspiracy against the lute presi?
dent.
An effort wns made at first to con
teal Guzmun's summary execution, but
inquiry as to a pool of blood in Villa's
yard revealed the fact, und later rebel
leaders admitted Guzman had been
burled a few hours after ho had been
Seen ullve on the struet.
The execution of those upon whom
the rebels look as political enemies is
said to be in line with a recent order
from (Jen. Carrunza that all those
who took an active part In the over?
throw of Madero must be killed. With
his army of 12,000 rebels already ad?
vanced to points north of Torreon, and
awaiting word to open the attack on
the federal garrison in that city Gen.
Villa planned to leave tonight or early
tomorrow for Chihuahua from
whence, after a stay of several days,
he will march south to direct the
opening of the battle.
A courier who arrived from Torreon
Said the rebel advance guards had al-;
ready surroundsd the city, but that
Gen. RefUglo Velasco's federal sol?
diers had not opened lire.
The federal soldiers in Torreon, It
was said, were being kept in ignor?
ance of recent rebel victories, and to
BUStaln their courage they were told
that Gen. MerCSdo won a signal vic?
tory ai OJlnaga. Gen. Bfarcolla Cara
veo. one of the volunteer federal gen?
erals, who escaped front OJlnaga, has
arrived In Toreon, and was given a
triumphant reception because he in?
formed, the soldiers t ie rebels had
been defeated at Ojinuga, according to,
the Courier?
Mexican federal sym^utilizers pro?
tested to the United States army of-;
llelala in Kl Faso that Kaoul Madero,
brother of the Iste President and an
Officer on Villa's staff, was permitted
to go to the American side. Madeio
has been seen daily in thu hotels nnd
at social affairs on the American side.
The Mexicans complained that this
was a violation of the neutrality laws
ami was not the same treatment that
was accorded Gen. Itercado ami oth?
er federal officers who are held pris?
oners at Fori Itliss because they
cros.se,| the river. It was said a pro?
les! would be made to Washington.
Gen, Carrunsa, according to ;? re
port, soon will start from Cullacun,

WAVY COMPLEMENT IT'LL.
Sccroiary Daniela Proud That Enlisted
strength Has Reached Limit of
Law?
Washington, Feb. 2.?For the first
lima since the War Between the Sec?
tions the enllated complement of the
nuvtf allowed by law has been filled
and. hereafter only specially qualified
applicants for the navy will be ac?
cepted. Secretary Daniels today an?
nounced this with some pride. He at?
tributed it to the adoption in the navy
of the general system of education of
the enlisted men; to the popularity of
the recent European cruise of the
fleet and to the knowledge on the part
of young men of the approaching
eruise of the Atlantic fleet from the
Hast via the Panama canal to the San
Francisco exposition.
The secretary received a number of
reports, indicating that the daily
schools aboard ship are successful be?
yond expectations and that they are
enthusiastically supported by enlisted
men, a remarkably large percentage
of whom have joined special classes.
WIDENS LEG AD LIABILITY.
.Supremo Court Passes on Interstate
Commerce.
Washington, Feb. 2.?A decision
tending to widen the accepted scope
of the federal employers' liability law
today was handed down by the su?
preme court in the case of Robert H.
Burgess, a Southern railway fireman
killed at Selma, N. C, April 29, 1909,
while crossing the railway trucks to
get his dinner basket.
The court overruled contentions
that because the fireman had left his
engine to go to a boarding house he
was not engaged in interstate com?
merce; that the engine was not in in?
terstate commerce because it was
about to haul empty cars across the
State line and that Burgess was not
engaged in interstate commerce be?
cause his engine had not been hooked
to the cars.
The decision reverses and sends
back for new trial a judgment of $2,
0?0 granted Burgess' executors by the
North Carolina courts on the theory
that Burgess was engaged only in in
temtate commerce.
CHOICE NOT MADE.
Department Is Considering Several
Manoeuvre Camp Site?.
Washington, Feb. 2.?Although it !s
possible th;it Greenville may be chosen
Hg the place where the next encamp?
ment In the Ninth division of militia,
consisting of troops from both the
Carolinas. Georgia and Florida, may
be held during the oomlng summer,
plans looking to such an encampment
are yet In a tentative shape, accord?
ing to information given The State's
correspondent today by Gen. A. L.
Mills, chief of the division of military
affairs of the war department.
When Gen. Mills was asked whether
or not it was true that Greenville had
been chosen for the encampment, he
made the statement that although the
department may decide upon such a
move later on, the matter has not
yet reached such a point as to warrant
u conclusion that Greenville would
certainly be chosen. He further said
that while letters hud been sent out
by the department, asking for infor?
mation, that they had been sent re?
garding other cities than Greenville.
It is known that Gen. Liggitt, pres?
ident of the Army War college of this
Iclty, is at work on the. matter, but
no Statement could be hail from him
today.
If Greenville gets the encampment
the militia will be there, as stated, not
only from South Carolina, but from
Florida, Georgia and North Carolina
also, and the occasion will unoubt
edly be a big one for that city.
