(Please use the big type; this Is Kmphatle and Final). The first hackman said he was "drl'tlng" down Broad, and denied that he had Stopped.

Its History. Satania has a population of 140,000 and is the largest city/ in Sicily. It lies to the south of Messina on the east coast. Ever since its foundation in B. C. 729 it has been visited fre quently by earthquakes. In 121 A. D., it was partly destroyed by an erup tion of Mount Etna In 1169 it suf fered severely from an earthquake. In 1669 during an eruption of Etna a great stream of lava flowed toward Catania, but in the nick of time its course was diverted, and the town saved. In 1693 when the whole of the'island of Sicily was affected by an earthquake Catania was destroyed. 77,283 Deaths. In the earthquake and tidal wave at Messina and Calabria on December 28. 1908 official figures gave the number of deaths as 77,283, but it was estimated that from 150,000 to 200,000 people lost their lives.

HUERTA WOULD CITY OF MEXICO IN ASHES BEFOREJHE_WOULD QUIT (Continued on Next Page.) States were courteously treated. Many inquiries As to' the possibility of employing state militia during the Mexican crisis were received in Wash ington today. For Patrol Duty. Indications were that the militiamen would be used for patrol duty if neee“- to call them out. They would relieve regular troops now on duty along the border, making them available for field service. The flurry caused by tne report that two steamers bearing arms and am munition for Huerta were on their way to Puerto Mexico, was quieted by the announcement that no action would be taken by the Washington government to prevent discharge of trie cargoes. A cablegram from Rear Admiral Badger stated that one of the ships, the Kron prinzessin Ceci)ie, had arrived at Puerto Mexico, Friday. Whet her she had unloaded her cargo was not stated. Officials appeared to view the in cident with little concern. Nothing Done. The German ambassador, Mr. Von Bernstorff, said that no representa tions had been made to him by state department officials and that he had done nothing with relation to landing of German ships exvept to aid in an effort to have traffic resumed on the Tehuantepec railroad which has a terminus at Puerto .Mexico. Mr. Von Bernstorff said that he had no knowledge of the cargoes carried by the two ships. Secretary Garrison declared the War Department had no jurisdiction to deal with the munitions of war that might be consigned to Gen. Huerta abord German' ships bound for any port but Vera Cruz. Early Caller. Secretary Bryan called at the White House early in the day but left with out seeing the president. He would nqt discuss reports about the German merchant vessels in Mexlcon waters.
