Washington.—Carranza’s request for more time to consult his military chiefs over the proposal for a confer ence with Huerta’s delegates at Nia gara Falls served today as another cause for delay in efforts to restore order in Mexico. It was believed the mediators would be able to reply to the revolutionary leader's request within the next day or two. The mediators were informed by Carranza that acceptance of any sug gestion for a new provisional govern ment which would be discussed at the proposed conference might require s .me change in the plan of Guada lupe. the revolutionary declaration declaration of principles. Consent of Chiefs. To do that. Carranza stated, would require the consent of his military chiefs. He was said to have given as surances that the council of generals would be hastened. Some of the revolutionary represen tatives here declared Carranza had come to look with favor toward the conference but others were not cer tain of the outcome. The latter as serted that whatever course was taken along the lines of diplomacy the mili tary campaign would not be halted. “Judases in Our Ranks.” A perplexing element was injected into the situation here today by the apparent disagreement among Car ranza's Washington agents over the recent internal disputes that threat ened to upset relations between the two constitutionalist leaders. Reports from the border quoted Carranza as having declared that the constitution ist party has nothing to fear except from “the Judases in its own ranks.” The representatives called attention to the recent statement attacking Gen. Angles which was authorized by Al fredo Breceda, Carranza’s personal aide, now in Washington. There was some disagreement among members of the junta over the question of giving out that statement. By American Money. Publication of alleged correspond ence between Carranza and Sherburne G. Hopkins, a Washington lawyer, re lating to plans for conserving Nation al Railway properties, stirred the con stitutionalist leaders. Alleged com munications between Mr. Hopkins and 11 Clay Pierce, oil magnate and one of the principal owners of National Railways stock, were Included. State uvents published In this connection In timated the revolution was hacked by American financial interests. Hop kins denied that, and Raefael Zubar an and Luis Cabrera ssserted the con stitutionalists had received no finan cial aid from American interests and particularly denied any relationship with Pierce. There were Intimations today that the Mcldent might be aired in con-, gress. CAMPAIGN On’tHE BUBONIC PLAGUE.

ASSASSINATION OF HEIR OF THE HAPSBURGS AND WIFE CAREFULLY DONE (Continued from page one). day's tragic event. All of them dwelt on the devotion to duty of the late archduke and to the Important services he rendered to the army and navy General expression was given to the conviction that the people of the dual monarchy would rally round the ven erable emperor. Carefully Planned. London. —Every dispatch today from Sarayevo a,.d Vienna brought addi tional evidence that the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and the Duchess of Hohenburg was one of the most carefully planned crimes ever carried out against royal person ages. Indications show that it was engineered by persons possessing more mature organizing ability than that of the youthful assassin. It gene rally is thought in Austria and Hun gary that the plotters had thetr head quarters in Belgrade, the Servian capi tal. Serb Hatred. Servian hatred of Austrians, which always has been violent, has been fo mented by newspapers in Belgrade and agitators throughout Servia and Bosnia, who (have helped to inflame the minds of'the students and to in duce them to sacrifice thetr lives in the Lelief that they will go down to histo y as patriots. Yesterday’s crime seems likely to have a contrary effect to that desired by its authors. Even before the bodies of the murdered couple have been in terred the Austrian authorities are contemplate .g severe measures against the Serbs among the Inhabi tants of Austria and Bosnia. These measures are likely further to em bitter relations between the two coun tries, as w'ell as those between Aus tria and Russia, the protector of all the Serbs. Knew of Danger. . Archduke Francis Ferdinand, it is asserted today, was well aware of the danger he was running during his tour of Bosnia, which he undertook as in spector general of the forces of the empire. The Servian minister at Vi enna told the archduke of the peril o” hi„ visit to Sarayevo at the pres ent time and implored him even if he insisted on going there himself ai least to leave the duchess at home. The duchess, however, insisted that her place was at her husband's side When the archduke and the duchess arrived at Sarayevo on Saturday some signs of hostility were shown. Just before the couple passed through the city, authorities succeeded in getting rid of a great display of Servian flags which the people had hoisted instead of the Austrian colors. At a session of the Bosnian diet, called to express sorrow at the death of the archduke, four Servian deputies appeared in light suifs in contrast to the somber black of their fellow deputies. Bombs Found. The plans of the assassins contem plated, it is said, the blowing up of the royal train when the archduke end his wife were leaving Sarayevo, in the -ase the attempt by Gavrio Prinzip failed. It wrns learned today that several bombs w’ere found along the Sarajevo railway. Prinzip’S own plans were carefully laid. He secreted himselr behind a building at a spot where it was neces sary for the archduke’s car to slacken speed. Some accounts of the crime say that Prinzip actually stood on the step of the ducal car as he fired the shots. Large Sum of Money. l.i Prinzip's rooms police today found a large sum of money which they say is further proof that he was a paid assassin of some Servian or ganization. The sympathy not only of the rulers but of the people, of Eu rope has been expressed today' to the aged emperor, Francis Joseph, whose much needed rest at his ummer resi dence at Ischl has been broken by the crime. Its Effect. Vienna. —The assassination of Arch duke Francis Ferdinand at Sarayevo is bound to have a momentous political effect on the dual monarchy of Aus tria-Hungary. Archduke Karl, who now becomes heir presumptive, is comparatively unknown. Emperor Francis Joseph has not many years to reign and in the nature of things, the empire must in a comparatively short time be governed by an inexperienced prince instead ol a ruler with twenty years’ close ac quaintance with state affairs and sec ond only in effect to the emperor him self. Renounced Title. Archduke Francis Ferdinand, on be riming heir to the throne, formally renounced all title to the throne on behalf of his children. This was neces sary because Austrian laws debar the offspring of morganatic marriages be coming rulers of the country. The death of Francis Ferdinand will throw all burdens of government upon the aged emperor and at the moment It Is next to irnposihle to predict what political results will follow. Strong Personality. The late archduke had a strong per sonality and wielded enormous Influ ence In every department of political, military and naval affairs. He pos sessed a temperament of fiery energy and had strong clerical sympathies. He was bitterly opposed to Hungary and all separatist movements. He was in favor of the restoration of tem poral power of the pope, which made him unpopular with Italy, endangered Italian alliance and Is believed to have looked to an alliance with southern Slav races to counteract Hungarian Influence. Whether this was true or not he certainly was anxious to In crease Influence In the Balkans arid worked energetically with that aim In view, which is held as explaining Ser vian antagonism toward him. IJttle is known of Archduke Karl Francis Joseph’s political leanings, but it is supposed that with the dis appearance of such a strong person ality Austria may soon enter upon a period of greater quietude than she would have Experienced under Arch duke Francis Ferdinand.

RLeXlCdfl ReVoltltiotl Illustrations by DON J. LAVIN A story of border Mexico, vivid, Intense, such as has never before been written, Is this one of Ameri can adventurers Into the land of manana. Texan, mining engineer, Spanish senor and senorlta, peon, Indian, crowd its chapters with clear-cut word pictures of busi ness, adventure and love, against a somber background of wretched armies marching and counter marching across a land racked by revolution and without a savior. (Continued from Yesterday.) He had hoard ft said that fn the Yaqul country no white man. no mat ter how well he was mounted, could outdistance the Indians on foot, and now he knew it was true. But why this killing haste on the part of Ami go? He had neither friends nor kin In town; why, then, should he run so fast to warn them of the enemy? They racked on, up one hill and down another, while the Insurrectos followed the canyon that swung to the south, and finally, in a last soramble, they mounted a rocky ridge, and looked down upon old Fortuna. Already the hard-driven peons were out in the fields at work and smoke was rising from the mescal still. Ara gon was busy, but his labors would be worse than wasted If the red-flaggers took him prisoner. As Bud breathed his horse he hesitated whether to ride back and warn him or press on and notify Fortuna; hut even for that brief spell the Yaqul could not wait. “Adlos,” he said, coming close and holding out his black hand; "I go this we.y!” And he pointed along the ridge. “But why?” said Bud, still at a loss to account for hie haste. Then, seeing the reticence In the Indian's eyes, he thrust out his hand In return. “Adlos, Amigo mio!” he replied, and with a quick grip the Yaqul was gono. With that same deceptive speed he shambled through the buches. still lug ging the heavy rifle and making for higher ground. Bud knew he had some purpose—he even had a sneak ing idea that It was to take pot-shots at Captain del Rey—but six months in Mexico had made him carelese, and he half hoped the Yaqul would win. The captain had It coming to him for his brutality, but with Aragon It was different—Aragon bad a wife and Speed Was What Was Needed. daughter—and, with the memory of Gracia In his mind, Hud sent his horse plunging down the ridge to warn them before it was too late. There were some brush fences to be Jumped, but Copper Bottom took them flying, and as they cut into the river trail he made the mud-puddles splash. Across the fields to the south Bud could see the peons running for cover —the Insurrectos must be in sight be yond the hills. He was going south, they were mov ing west, but It was five miles north again to the town. Hpeed was what was needed and Copper Bottom gave his best. They dashed Into Fortuna like a whirlwind, und Hooker raised his voice In a high yell. "Insurrectos!” he shouted. "Ladro nes 1 Pr-onto a Fortuna!" There was a rush, a moment's si lence, and then heads appeared from every window and women ran scream ing with the news. Aragon came rush ing from the store and confronted him angrily; then, reading conviction In his tones, he called for horses and ran frantically Into the house. A shrill screech came from the hill side, where a serving-woman had scampered to view the valley, and, as she pointed her finger and screamed, mothers laid bold of thetr little ones and started up the valley on foot. Btill the men ran about. In the horse pen and Aragon adjured his women folk in. tfcs house. Burning with I®- patience. Bud spurred his way to the corral where they were fumbling with roata and rigging and dropped a rope on the first horse he saw. Then he snatched a slde-saddlo from a trem bling peon and slapped It on the brute’s back. Grabbing up the bridle, he led the horse back to the house and bridled it while he shouted for haste. Still the women tarried, and the sound of galloping came from the south. Then, as all seemed lost, the Mexicans came bumping out from the stable with the family coach, Aragon and hie wife leaped In, and Gracia, neatly attired in a riding-skirt, caino tripping down the steps. Even In such times as these she seemed to realize her first duty to herself, and Hooker had to gaze for a moment before ho helped her up. She offered her foot and vaulted lightly into the saddle; the coaoh went pound ing on ahead; and as the servants scattered before her she galloped oft at the side of Bud. Behind them the rumble of distant hoofs rose up like the roaring of wa ters, and the shrieks of fleeing women echoed from the roadside, but once safely In the canyon their lead was never lessened and, with coaoh-horses galloping and postllloiiß lashing from both sides, the whole cavalcnde swept Into the plaza while the town of For tuna went mad. Already the great whistle was blow ing hoarsely, Its deep reverberations making the air tremble as If with fear, Americans were running back and forth, distributing arms and rushing their women to cover; Don Juan, his chin quivering with excitement, was Imploring all comers to be calm; an the Aragons, coming flying up to the door, added the last touch to the panic. They with their eyes had seen the rebels; they were riding In from the south! Other men, equally excited, swore they were coming from the north, and a disorderly body of So nora miners, armed as If by maglo with guns which had long lain hidden, banked themselves about the store and office and clamored for more and more cartridges. Then a rip of gun-flre echoed from across the canyon, and the miners made a rush to the attack. The whistle, which had obscured all sound as a cloud obscures tbs light, stopped suddenly In Its roar, and the crowd at the hotel became calm. The superintendent, a wiry, gray-halred little man, with decision In every movement, came running from his fort-like house on the hill and ordered all the women to take shelter there and take their children with them. So, while the rifles rattled gnd etray bullets began to knock mud from the walls, they went straggling up the hill, rich and poor, patrician and peon, while the air was rent by the wails of the half-Indian Mexican women, who held themselves as good as cap tured by the revoltosos, concerning whose scruples they entertained no Illusions. The women of the aristocracy bore themselves with more reserve, as be fitting their birth and station, and the Americans whp gathered about them with their protecting rifles pretended that all would be well; but in the minds of every one was that same terror which found expression In the peon wall and, while scattered rebels and newly armed miners exchanged volleys on both sides of the town, the non-combatant Americans sought out every woman and rushed her up to the big house. There, If worst came to worst, they could make a last stand, or save them by a ransom. So, from the old woman who kegt the candy stand In the plaza to the wives of the miners and the Cherished womenfolk of the landowners, tljey were all crowded Inside the broad halls of the big house; and seventy odd Americans, armed with company rifles, paced nervously ulong the broad veran das or punched loopholes In the adobe walls that inclosed the summer garden behind. Along with the rest wont Hooker and Gracia, and, though her mother beckoned and her father frowned sternly, the wilful daughter of the Ara gons did not offer to leave him as they scampered up the bill. In fact, sh« rode close beside him, spurring when he spurred and, finally, when the shower of stray bullets had passed, she led on around the house. "Won’t you help me take my horse Inside the walls?” shs asked. Hud followed after her, circling the fortress whose blank adobe walls gave shelter to the screaming women, and she smiled upon him with the most en gaging confidence. "I know you will have to go soon,” she said, “and I suppose I've got to be shut In with those creatures, but we must be sure to save our horses. Some bullets might, hit them, you know, and then we could not run away! “You remember your promise!" she reminded, as Hud gazed at her In as tonishment. "Ah, yes, I knew you did —otherwise you would not have picked such a good horse for me. This roan is my father's best riding horse. You must put yours Inside the wall with him, and when the time Is right we will CH tJOem and jjde for the line.” ICopyright. 1914. by Frank A. Munsey.) "What?’’ cried Hooker Incredulous ly, "with the country full of rebels? TheyYe liable to take the town in half an hour!” "No. lndoed they will not!” respond ed Gracia with spirit "You do not understand the spirit of us Sonorans I -'^l i , it ’ Women and Children Took Bhelter There. Can’t yon see how the firing hao slack ened? The miners have driven your rebels back already, and they will do more—they will follow them up and kill them! Then, when the rebels are In flight and Del Key and his rurales are away, that will be a good time for us to slip off and make our dash for the line!” “Nothing doing!” announced Hooker, as he dismounted at the corral. “You don’t know what you're talking about! But I will leave my horse here,” he added; "I sure don’t want him to get hurt.” “But you promised!” protested Gra cia weakly. “Promised nothing!” retorted Bud ungraciously. “I promised to tako care of you, didn’t I? Well, what's the uae of talking, then? You better stay right here, where you’re safe. Come on, let’s go to the house!” “No!” cried Gracia, her dark eyes turning misty with Imminent tears. “Oh, Mr. Hooker!" she burst out, “didn’t I keep them all waiting while I put on this rldlng-sklrt? 1 thought you had come to take me away I What do I care to be safe? I want to be free! I want to run away—and go aorosa the line to dear Phil I” she faltered. Thao she looked up at him sharply and her voice took on an accusing tone. "Aha!" she said, as If making some expected discovery, “so that Is It! I thought perhaps you were afraid!” “What?” demanded Bud, put sud denly upon the defensive. “I might have known It,’’ soliloquized Gracia with conviction. “You ore jealous of dear Phil!" “Who? Me?” cried Hooker, smiling down at her grimly. "Well, let It go at that,” ho said, as she regarded him with an arch smile. “I’d certainly be a fool to take all those chances for nothing. Let him steal his own girl— that’s what I say!” "Now that, Mr. Hooker,"'burst out Gracia In a passion, “Is very unkind — and rude! Am I a woman of the town, to be stolen by one man or another? Am I—” • “That’s what you would be,” put In Bud, with brutal directness, “If these rebels got hold of you. No, ma’am, I wouldn't take you out of this town for a hundred thousand dollars. You don’t know what you're talking about, that’s all! Walt till the fighting Is over— gee! Did you hear that? Come, on, let’s get Into the house!” He ducked suddenly a* a bullet went spang against the corrugated iron roof above them and, seizing her by the hand, he half dragged her through a side door and Into the summer garden. Here a sudden outcry of women’s voices assailed their ears like a rush of wind and they beheld peon mothers running to and fro with their scream ing children clasped to their breasts or dragging at tlpbr skirts. A few help less men wero trying to keep them quiet, but as the bullets begun to thud against the adobe walls the garden be came a bedlam. Gracl.. stood and surveyed the scene for a moment, Ignoring the hulking Hud with disdainful eyes. Then she snatched her hand Indignantly away and ran to pick up a child. That was all, but Hooker knew what she thought of ,ilm. He passed through the house, ho ping to discover where she had gone, but all he heard was her commanding voire as she silenced the walling wom en, nd, feeling somehow very much out oi place, he stepped forth Into the open. After all. for a rnan of his build, the Open was best. Let the white-handed hoys stay with the ladles—they under stood their ways. SEVEN CHAPTER XXII. The superintendent’s house stood efi a low bench above the town, looking out over all the valley, but protected by a high hill behiP'’ upon the summit of which was placed a mammoth black water tank. In its architecture the case grande was an exact replica of a hot-country hacienda, a flat-roofed, one-storie** square of adobe bricks, whitewashed to keep off the sun and presenting on three sides nothtng but dense tree* planted near for shade. Along the front was a long arcade, the corredor, graced by a series of massive arches which let In the light and air. Inside were low chambers and long passages ; and, behind, the patio and garden of orange and flg trees. Built for a sumptuous dwelling, it became in a moment a fort and, *lth men on the high hill by the tank it wae practically Impregnable to direct assault. As Hooker stepped out on to the cov ered porch with his saddle-gun in his hand he became simply one more of a band of excited Americans, all armed and ready to defend the house to the laat. Some were pacing back and forth in the corredor. others were hurrying up from the Mexican quarters with a last belated handful of women, but tha major portion were out on the open bench, either gazing north and south at the scenes of the distant firing or engaging in a curio-mad scramble for any spent bullet that struck. The fighting, euch as there was, was mostly up the canyon, where a large party of Sonoran miners had rushed In pursuit of the rebels. The firing down the canyon In the direction of Old For tuna had died away to nothing, and tor the moment tt seemed as if the futile charge and retreat was the beginning; and the end of the battle. A party of rebels had penetrated clear Into the town, but it was appar ently more by accident than intention, and they had been quick to beat a re treat. As for the main command of the Insurrectos, they were reported at Cbular, six miles up the railroad, where they had surrounded and taken a small mining camp and captured a train at the summit.
