Charleston, W. Va., May 4. Reports

struck last week would obey the or
ders of the district officers of the
United Mine Workers and return to
work until the international officers
could pass upon their contention that
they have a right to strike. In the

leaders of the radical element were
urging the men to stay away from the
mines until all the questions at issue
had been settled.

strain over events of the last two

both branches of the legislature to

to ask them to enact a measure per

the expenses incurred by the state in
maintaining the militia in the strike
zone, a debt which now has reached
more than $1,000,000. The legislators
were to be asked to enact a law pre

By Associated Press.
Vera Cruz, May 4. American ref
ugees continue to arrive from the cap
ital and they bring divergent stories
of the situation there. Arrangements
are being made today to send a naval
vessel to Puerto Mexico to meet a
large number of refugees due there
Tuesday morning. Latest arrivals con
firm reports of a growing undercur
rent of feeling against the Huerta
regime and tell of a rumor of a rup
ture between Huerta and General
Blanquet, minister of war. It was
the latter that took the military coup
which resulted in the downfall of
President Francisco I. Madero.
Some of the returning Americans
who claim to have authentic informa
tion declare Huerta is reiterating to
confidents that he will never resign
but talks of the possibilities of a coup
against him. Several of the American
business men say the foreign diploma
tic representatives counselled them
not to leave the capital, saying there
was practically no danger : and ' the
whole situation would .be ...clarified
soon. :-r 1 ' ' " " ' ' .;. . ;
The refugees generally expressed
disappointment at the lack of any in
dication of an advance of the Ameri
can army on the capital. They say
the best class of Mexicans share this
view. .
There is speculation in- official cir
cles regarding disposition of customs
revenues of this port said to aggre
gate over a million dollars in gold a
month. Fleeing federal officers took
important customs house files and it
is difficult to clear up business in the
warehouses or to ascertain the exact
distribution that has formerly been
made of the revenue.
For the present all the customs re
ceipts will be impounded to await in
structions from Washington. Several
cargoes have been unloaded during
the last few days and more' ships are
reported as cleared for this port from
the United States and Europe so that
the accumulated receipts will soon
reach a considerable amount.
The demand for fractional Ameri
can currency was suddenly increased
today when H. M. Robinson, superin
tendent of the United States Railway
Mail Service, who has taken charge
of the postoffice, placed- American
postage stamps on the market and
stipulated that they must be paid for
in American money.
The administration of Colonel Ed
ward H. Plummer, the provost mar
shal, began this morning almost at
the point where the civil government
under Robert J. Kerr had carried it
when ended by orders from Washing
ton. Colonel Plummer has been given
wide latitude by General funston,
who wants to devote as much of his
own time as possible to military
duties.
Colonel Plummer had assigned to
him army and navy men for heads of
all departments and several enlisted
men to be used in clerical work but
these will be added to by civilians.
Plummer's government starts with
320,000 pesos worth of revenue stamps
and 70,000 in cash recovered by C. H.

Official Washington as well as bank
ing circles generally are awaiting the
announcement of the full personnel

There were taken after consideration
of a much larger list.
