IT GOES INTO DITCH. CATCHES
FIRE AW) IS BURNED.
Margaret Spalding Represents
Martha Washington at Festival
Accident Is Caused by Tire Breaking,
' When Driver Loses Control of Car.
It Was Property of W. L. Scott
and Driven by Dick Dodge.
While being driven along the south loop
about twenty-five miles uo hour at SI
o'clock last night, the casing of a Cha'-
U'crs Forty seven-passenger touring car
blew out and the car swerved to the side
of the road, crashed through a wire fence
end went over an embankment Into a
8ravel pit, where It caught fire, duo to a
reak In the gasoline tank and was
burned to cinders In a few minutes. The
car was owned by W. I.. Scott, formerly
of Houston, who was In It at the time,
and was driven by Dick Dodge of Corpus
Christ!. The car had bei'ii in the shop
for several days and was taken for a try-
out In anticipation of a busy day for tt
today carrying passengers to the Leon
Springs reservation. The accident hap-
pened near the San Jose Mission. (
"The accldeut happened so suddenly,
■aid Mr. Scott, "we had barely time >o
lump, but both Dick and I managed to
•scape with a few bruises. We rolled over
on the ground while the machine went over
the embankment and Into a gravel pit.
The moon was shining brightly and the
night was clear. I saw the machine was
on fire and thought a carburetor was
ablaie. I Jumped down and pulled back
the hood and in an instant the flames
spread to every pnrt of the enr, which in
a few minuteH was consumed. No f mi I t
attaches to Dick Dodge for the accident,
for he Is a very careful driver and will
continue to drive for me. I valued the
car at .f.'IOOO and carried partial Insurance
on It."
Madero Triumphs
In a Clash With
General Orozco
Continued From Fag* One.
Madero determined to appeal to them.
Revolvers had been drawn and rifles were
leveled, but Senor Madero stood bravely
before the crowd and slapping: his breast,
shouted: "Shoot me; shoot me, if you
dare.'"
General Orozco was at his side. His
men ostensibly had been summoned to
take part in the coup d'etat, but ns Ma-
dero stepped forth among them and
talked in his calm, reassuring way, tho
affection which lias been ripened among
his men since the revolution began, crys-
tallized in a mighty shout "Viva Madero!"
DISSENSION AMONO CHIEFS.
There were all sorts of stories in regard
to the clash, but at the bottom it was
appparent that the dissension among the
military chiefs was the cause of the dis-
turbance. Colonel Villa was said to
have insisted on General Navarro's life,
-while General Orozco was also said to have
been displeased with the naming of a
civilian as minister of war. Senor Ma-
dero has impressed upon General Orozco
that the choosing of a cabinet and the
maintenance of a government Is quite
outside the function of the military.
Apprehension for the safety of General
Navarro stirred the sympathy of Gen-
eral Madero after the Incident at the
municipal building and he*determined, at
the risk of his own life, to save the Fed-
eral commander.. He was taken in an
automobile to where General Navarro has
been staying since he was captured, and
conveyed the Federal soldier to the river
front, where the latter waded the river
and Boon was safe on American territory.
American troops were ready to protect
him If necessary, but the insurectos wers
completely ignorant of Senor Madero's
move till it was accomplished.
General Navarro gave his word of honor
that he would return to Mexican soil
wlren ordered to do so by Madero. It
the feeling against Navarro among the
insurectos, because of alleged acts of
cruelty in previous battles, becomes
stronger, it may be that a court-martial
will be ordered.
MADERO'S STATEMENT.
Stenor Madero tonight gave out an ex-
planation of the day's events, which in
part follows:

She entertained a few of her classmates with a lawn party at her home, 123 Fir Street,

bly from the adulation and bad advice of
persons Interested In causing disunion
among us, committed a fault which
fortunately had no consequences.
"He complulned that the troops did not
have sufficient provisions and wanted to
Jay the fault upon the persona designated
by me to provision the army, but the
truth Is that In the storehouses we have
more than enough provisions, eo the fault
Is with the provider of his corps, who has
not attended to his duty.
"He told me he did not like the per-
sons whom I had designated as cabinet
officers, but I told him that It was not he
who should tell me whom I should ap-
point."

CITY OF MEXICO, May 13.-From
Acapulco the government today received
confirmation of the capture of that port
on May 8. An army of more than 2000
rebels engaged the little garrison of 200
soldiers and although the garrison was
supported by the guns of the cruiser
Democrata, the taking of the place was
easily accomplished. The government
reports tell of the burning of a textile
factory by the rebels and a few minor
depredations. Most of the local authori-
ties fled before the fall of the city.
Acapulco is in the State of Guerrero,
one of the States controlled by the Flgu-
eroa brothers. Its capture does not mean
necessarily that the tentative peace
agreement made with the Flgueroas is
broken, for the place fell prior to the de-
parture of Francisco Flgueroa from the
capital to carry the peace terms to his
brothers.
The War Department today sent to
Trea Marias a company of artillery. Tres
Marias Is In Morelos, another of tuo
States controlled by the Flgueroas and
supposed to be Included In the peace pact.
From Puebla the government has re-
ceived news of no hostilities, although
numerous accounts of the raiding of
haciendas have been received.
Huachlnango, a town near Necaxa, the
aeat of power of the Mexican light and
powar company, Is held by rebels, but
every effort has been made by them to
preserve order. Last night the manage-
ment of the company and loaders of the
rebels held a conference at wblch the ln-
aurectoa assured the management they
would not Interfere in any way with tho
transmission Una or any of tho com-
pany's property. Tha powar company la
a Canadian concern.
Brief advlcea received at tha War De-
partment say the federala garrisoning
Torreon have not yet been forced to meet
a general attack of the revolutionists at
that town, although the enemy la gather-
ing In large numbers In the surrounding
country. Occasional skirmishes between
outposts of federals and the advancIng
rebels were followed early thia morning
by a brisk engagement between some-
what larger forces In which, according
to the reports at the War Department,
tha federals warn victorious.
PLAN FOR SELF-DEFENSE
Preliminary Steps Taken for Organisa-
tion of Americana.
CITT OF MEXICO, May 18.—Tbrough-
ont the city the Idea of self-defense la
growing. Preliminary atepa looking to an
organisation bar* been taken by the com-
mittee repreaenting the American colony,
although the action has not found unanl-
ttfous approval. The Chamber of Com-
merce today decided not to take any con-
certed action at present but leave the pro-
tection of bnslntss housea to Individual
owners. 8lmllar action has been taken In
Guadalajara.

EL PASO, Tex., May 13.—Not wishing
to be taken unawares in case anything
should come of whispered reports that in-
surectos are talking of rushing El Paso
and grabbing Nuvarro for a hauging bee,
Colonel Steever, In command of the border
guard, ordered out cavulry reinforcements
and stationed them on San Francisco
Street, in the heart of the business sec-
tion of El Paso tonight, to reinforce the |
border patrol If needed.
This Texas city continues to play a |
prominent part in Mexican insureeto af-
fairs. The trouble in Juarez this morn- I
lug in which Orozco and Villa and their
commands defied Provisional President
Mudero, arose partly from the fact that a
number of the federal officers, prisoners
in Juarez, with permission of Madero, ore
refugees in EI 1'aso to protect themselves
from the fury of the insurectos. Cus-
toms Collector A. E. Sharpe and Colonel i
Steever, in command of the border guard I
of United States troops, are sitting on
the lid In El Paso to prevent any ammuni-
tion being taken to Juures and to keep ttf |
Insurectos out of the olty. City health i
officers nre doing duty twenty-four hours |

effort to keep typhoid fever out, this dead-
ly dlsense having appeared in Juafez.
