DEITHIS DECREED FDR ILL LOOTERS General Villa Issues Drastic Order for Protection of Foreign and Mexican Property. E Terrible Details of Eruptions on Ambrim Island—Flames Shot Thousand Feet in Air. WASHINGTON, Dec. 21—Members of the diplomatic corps, especially representatives from the South Amer ican countries, were greatly interested in a report reaching Washington to day that former President Roosevelt and Dr. Marcial Martinez, at one time Chilean Minister to the United States, had clashed at Santiago de Chile on account of divergent views on the [ Monroe Doctrine. The Chilean is re- j ported to have strongly dissented from the Roosevelt view that the much discussed doctrine still is a vital issue. The reported debate attracted un usual interest here, because both of the prepared speeches were reviewed j before delivery by the Chilean For eign Office. Dr. Martinez, it was said to-night at the Chilean Legation, was selected as the spokesman of the Chilean Government at the state re ception given the American visitor recently at the University of Santiago because of his warm friendship for the Lrnited States. He is one of the oldest and most eminent Chilean dip lomatists and made many lasting friendships during his tenure as Min ister here many years ago. Aroused Ire of Roosevelt. In his address at the Roosevelt re ception, Dr. Martinez dealt with the Monroe Doctrine, characterizing it as a dead issue, and arguing that the conditions which gave rise to its pro mulgation by President Monroe in 1823 have almost entirely disappeared. This statement is said to have aroused the ire of Colonel Roosevelt, who replied with some heat, holding that the Monroe Doctrine still was a vital principle of the foreign policy of the United States. He is said, too, to have suggested to the Chilean dip lomat, incidentally, that it was ill- advised on such an occasion to inau gurate a controversy. Colonel Roosevelt, according to re port, stated that before leaving the United States the text of the ad dresses he proposed to deliver in Bri- zil, Argentine and Chile had been sub mitted to the diplomatic representa tives in Washington to avoid the in clusion of anything that might prove offensive to his hosts. Dr, Martinez’s Reply. To this Dr. Martinez is said to have replied that his own address had been submitted to the Chilean Foreign Of fice three days before Colonel Roose velt’s arrival, and that as no objec tion had been raised in that quarter he could see no leason why the dis cussion of the Monroe Doctrine should be avoided as a dangerous issue. It is said that at the conclusion of the Roosevelt reception, a demon stration against the American visitor was made by a small clique of Cen tral American students. The story goes that as the Colonel left the Uni versity, the students shouted: “Viva Colombia!” This incident, however, is understood in no way to have rep resented the general feeling of the populace.

CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO, Dec. 21.— “Anyone who hereafter loots or mo lests property of foreigners or Mexi cans will be executed. The right to confiscate property will rest only with the Constitutionalist government.” General Francisco Villa issued this order to-day as showing his intention to maintain strict military discipline. As an example he executed on the plaza a band of rebels who had been ! found guilty by court-martial of sack- | ing the home of a wealthy Mexican. | While the six rebels were marched before the firing squad the stolen goods were returned to the owner. All stores confiscated from the ex pelled Spaniards to-day were closed and. sealed. Orders were given that no more goods are to be taken from them. This action was believed to have resulted from the protest of the United States against the seizure of Spanish property. Already great quantities of the goods, valued at several million dollars, had been util ized by the rebels. The remainder of the property is to be held pending an investigation as to whether the own ers aided the Huerta Government. General Villa proclaimed amnesty to Federal soldiers who would sur render and give up their arms. Many Federal troops are reported to have joined the rebels. Three hundred thousand rounds of rifle ammunition and 500,000 rounds of artillery am munition were recovered from a lake east of Chihuahua, where they were hidden by General Mercado's evacu ating Federals. Telegraphic and railroad communi cation has been extended as far west as Minaca, and as far south as Ber- mejillo. If there is no Federal inter ference, General Villa expects soon to have the States of Chihuahua, Sonora and Cinaloa as freely open as in times of peace. MANY OFFICERS SHO'T. HERMOSILLO, SONORA, MEXI CO, Dec. 21.—The commissioned offi cers and many sergeants and corpo rals of the Tenth Battalion of the Federal garrison at Guaymas were executed at sunrise in that city, ac cording to word brought here to night. Officers and men of the Tenth were disarmed several days ago by General Ojeda, Federal commandant, when he discovered they were plot ting to desert to the insurgents. REBELS WANT $250,000. JUAREZ, Dec. 21.—Although nego tiations have been under way for the payment of $250,000 for his release, Luis Terrazas, Jr., to-day was still held prisoner by General Villa at Chihuahua. The father, whose vast estate, together with that of the Creels, was confiscated through a de cree issued by Villa, attempted to procure the prisoner’s release and safe conduct to the border, first through an appeal to Washington, and now by the payment of money to the rebels. When Terrazas, Sr., accompanied the Federal forces in their flight to the border, the women members of his family refused to leave. They are still in Chihuahua helping in the ef forts to release Terrazas. NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—“The country calls me,” explains Mrs. H. H. Sevier, the Texas woman who has resigned the presidency of the Dixie Club. “One can't be president of a club, or clubs, without sacrificing one’s family “You know,” she said, “I was born and raised in Texas. Of course, we like to be near New York, so we have bought 130 acres near Oyster Bay, and are building a country place. I am go ing to get all my animals from Texas; then, when 1 get tired, I can get back to the farm in an hour’s time. “I am president of the Texas Club and that taxes a great deal of my time. Finally my husband said that if I con tinued giving all my time to club af fairs he would not build the Long Is land place. So there you are. “I have considered it a great honor to be the Dixie Club’s president, if onlj for a short time.” SYDNEY, N. S. W., Dec. 21.—In coming steamers bring terrible details of the recent volcanic eruptions on the Island of Ambrim, in the New Hebrides group, in which 500 natives lost their lives. Witnesses of the dis turbance describe it as having been so sudden and violent that they expected to see the whole western side of tho island disappear. With a terrific roar, which was fol lowed with a rapid succession of artil lerylike detonation, all the craters of the volcano entered into full activity, spouting flames and lava and throw ing out huge bowlders. Great streams of lava soon were rushing down the slopes, cutting off the villagers from escape. In one in stance two torrents of the molten mass joined and made an island of one entire section of a village. Here 50 or 60 persons perished. The scenes at night were awe-in spiring. Flames shot into the air to a height of 1,000 feet, illuminating the whole scene of destruction. The ocfeiu seemed to boil as huge superheated masses of stone fell into the sea and streams of lava poured into the bay. Dust from the craters gradual'y formed a black cloud, which blotted out the light of the stars. The bay after the eruption wis filled with dead fish and large num bers of dead turtles. The water in the river was hot. The British Hospital buildings were wiped out, but previous to their de struction the doctors pluekily removed ail the patients to a launch and es caped with them. POTTLE TO RESIGN. “‘I have not tendered my resignation to the Governor as yet,” said Judge .1. It.

Bennett, of Albany, had been se ected to suc ceed -Judge Pottle on the Court of Ap peals bench, Governor Siam- Sun day night: "The report could not have had any authority from me, because I have not yet been in receipt of Judge Pottle’s resignation, and have, of course, not se lected his successor. 1 have not myself made up my mind whom I shall appoint in his place in the event Judge Pottle resigns.” KILLS HIMSELF.
