OF THE SI
UO GIVEN. UP
By Associated Press.
New York, Feb. 21. After nearly I
three days of futile searching for
the schooner Kineo off the Diamond
Shoals hope for her safety has practi
cally been giveu up by her agents here.
The revenue cutter service however
still believs there is a chance the
vessel has not gone down.
The revenue cutter Itasca is to join
the Onondaga near the reported posi
tion of the Kineo. - The Onoudaga and
the Itasca will cruise on parallel lines
of about one hundred miles in length
for several days in an endeavor to
find the Kiueo which was last sighted
Wednesday in a crippled condition.

An Explanation.
Roberto V. Pcsqueira, constitution

following telegram from constitution
alist headquarters at Juarez:
"Benton entered Villa's apartment
very unexpectedly, demanding protec
tion for his interest's and bitterly
insulting Villa and the constitutional
ist arm v. General Villa told him that
he considered him an enemy to the;
constitutionalist cause and that in or
der that he might not continue to
work against it he. Villa, was going
to pay him" the value of his property
(Benton ' i in the state of Chihuahua.
"Benton became very exasperated
at this and drew his revolver, in
tending to Ivill the general but the
latter immediately knocked him
down, disarmed him and sent him to
jail. Benton was afterward tried, by
a special military trrbunal. sentenced
to death and duly executed all in ac
cordance with the laws and usages
of war."'

carrier from Santa Barbara, was
drowned iu seeking to discharge his
duty, lie is survived by eleven chil

Eady Decies (formerly Vivien Could )
which was marooned iu the town two
days ago, was pulled out yesterday
but advices early today reported it
stalled again not far from L.os Angeles.
Rain and wind swept over the north

Chestertown. Md- , Feb. 21. Mrs.
Jeff Hurd, who lives near here, admit
ted today that the story she told of an
alack by a in gro while she whs
alone with her two small children
recently was a fiction concocted to
keep her hiiland at home nights.
Mrs. Hurd had given a graphic reci
tal of her strnglc with Iut assailant,
averring that she slashed him with a
butcher knife and drove him off.
The young woman said she had be
come so exercised over being left on

over news 01 tne execution ot

meeting which ensued, awakened to
day to" anxiety and conjecture as to
the fate of Gustav Bauch, an Amer
ican accused by the rebels at Juarez
of being a tpy and of two English
men who were lost sight of iu Juarez
last Wednesday.
Bauch disappeared from his cell
last evening. This was discovered by
relatives who reported the fact to
Thomas U. Edwards, American con
sul at Juarez. He is believed to have
been shot. Of the F-uglishmen, one is
.-.aid to be a rancher named Curtis
from New Mexico and the other,
John Lawrence, chief engineer of. the
California Development Company at
Tuma, Arizona. ' ,
Samuel Stewart, known also as
Thompson, an English soldier of tor-
tain Lorimer being tho last to leave.
With the wind blowing forty-eight miles
an hour at the time the Riversdale
struck, the vessel was driven well up
on the beach. The Norfolk wrecking
steamer Rescue is now standing by
and it is believed that the Riversdale
can be floated. The task, however,
may not be an easy one. The steamer
is not lying on a particularly danger
ous beach.
The severe storm of yesterday and
today having for the most part abated,
the high seas on the coast w-er- today
abating and wreckers expect to soon
have a smooth sea in which to work,

1 hirteen Hundred Men, Women
And Children Marsacred By
Bandits Led by " White Wolf"
By Associated Press.
Peking, Feb. 21. Thirteen hun
dred men, women and children were
massacred by the bandits led by
"White Wolf," when they sacked
Liuan-Chow, province -of Ngan-Hwei,
on January 29. On that occasion they
murdered Father Rich, a French
Jesuit missionary, and captured and
held two other foreigners for ran
som. An army of 2,0u0 Chinese troops
is now converging on "White Wolf's"
etronglv entrenched position in the
vicinity of Cheng Yang-Kwan, further
to the north in the same, province.
"White Wolf" fas a force of 6,000
bandits, half of whom are armed with
modern rifles.
The opinion is expressed here that
unless the opportunity is seized of
exterminating "White Wolf" and bis
followers they will form another re
bellion. ..Government troops, however,
show a strong disinclination to get
to close quarters .with the bandits.

Washington. Feb. 21. Senators, of
(he foreign relations committee were
confident today that Uiegeneral arbi
tration treaties with Great Britain,
Japan and six other natious would be
ratified be fore adjournment.
Administration leaders asserted that
further argument semed useless. Those
who opposed arbitration as a national
uolicv thev said, bad exhausted their
field for argument in Ihe debate of lhej
last two days while others who nought
to amend the tratles had made their
fight and lost by a decisive vote.
As an argument against uiriner
lay champions of thc treaties pointed
out that to amend any of thc conven
tions at this time would be discrimina
tory, Inasmuch as a similar treaty with
France was ratified by tne senaie latt
summer and renewed.
The decisive vote yeslcrday against
any amendments was referred to as an
indication of the futility of pressing
further changes.
