New Jersey, private secretary of Mr.
Palmer, and A. J. Carter, private secre-
tary to Mr. Hammond, all comprising the
Hammond party, are at the St. Francis
Hotel.
Mr. Hammond said: "I haven't at pres-
ent anything to report There were some
discrepancies in the reports In the papers
that went out to the public. One was
that I represented th" Guggenheim Inter-
ests. I have not represented the Gug-
genheim Interests in the past year. An-
other was that J. B. Farlsh was asso-
ciated with us In the proposed l.a Blanca
deal. Mr. Farish has nothing to do with
It. The report that I am here for the
purpose of making a deal for the I.a
Blanca mines Is oorrect, but as yet w«

er of New York Is associated with me In
the proposed deal, and Mr. Mills and Dr.
Lindsay are my guests, here strictly on a
visit to the republic, t am sorry that at

"There has been 110 meeting of the
board of directors of the shareholders
of the La Blanca mines, and there can
be no optton on the property given until
such a meeting Is held. I do not know
when a. meeting of the general ►hare-
holders of tho company will be held."
This statement was authentically given
out yesterday by K. Glrault, manager of
the San Rafael and Anexas Mining Com-
pany, and one of the best known mining
engineers of Mexico. "As to the reports
that went out through the press of pro-
posed sales of the Santa Gertrudes n ines,
there Is nothing pending, al least at the

J. li Body of Pearsun X- Son, partners
with the Mexican government In the
ownership of the Tehuantepeo National
Hallway, passed through San Antonio
l ist evening. When asked about the sit-
uation with reference to tho impending
whohsule resignation of train dispatchers
on the merger lines he said; "1 am of
the opinion that in tin? course of a few
dryc the strike will affect practically all
the lines. Business t&a«Jc and luunigra-
ttOD Will suffer."
Owing to the fact that he Is an offi-
cial of the Tehuantep*.» National, in
which the Mexican government Is a half
ovnei. it Is presumed that Mr. Hody is
we'1 informed as to the seriousness of
thr coming struggle.
CAUSE OF THE STK1KK
The train dispatchers arc to resign be
cause they want more pa> and princi-
pally because they object to training
Mtxhans, who are ultimately to take
their places, according to the piogram
Ot the Mexican official*. One of the
piomlsaa of the Mexican government
when tho merger wwi consummated in
February of this year was tliat Mexicans
would bo put In charge of the railroads
a?- rapidly as they could be trained Mexl
own train auditors were the first suggee-
tlcn of the government officials Immedi-
ately after the merger. The proposition
came ^ry near causing a strike of the
American passengers conductors at that
time.
If the train dispatchers win their strike,
for it is in effect a strike, they will prob
ably return with an arrangement which
will very much delay the program of
their being replaced by the Mexican tele-
graph operators.
If they lone their fight, the day of the
Amirliau railroad employe In Mexico
It atpaiently nearlng an end. The Ameri-
can officials will remain for niHny veara.
The Mexican government officials frank-
ly admit their Inability to manage the
| affalrr of the railroad a" directed from
' th" general office* without the assistance
0( American*.
M J. Scott, who was for six years a
conductor on the Mexican International
Rcilwav, passed through 8an Antonio on
htk »av t" UmriU'i" for Ills vacation lost
cm r.ltig and when asked about tho sltu-
atlor In M< xieo -aid: "All the American
railroad employes In Mexico a-*" In full
topathv with the train dispatchers, and
wll' loin In the fight If there Is need.
The MexicsJia have learned a great deal
frrm the Americans about the practical
side of railroad operation, hut It will re
quire many more years' schooling by the
Americans before the Mexicans are caps
blc of safdy and efficiently operating
their trains Grave danger of fatal nils-
tuke*1 In train orders will exist a-s soon as
th' trained and experienced American
operators are replaced by Mexicans.

But neither Popocatepetl or his ,1ster,

losing their white caps. The hot season
is nearlng a.n end, and It has been the

the hottest months on record, not hot for
the United States, for instance, but warm
for Mexico, where such a thing as a hot
day is seldom known, even though It bff

The rainy season this year also Is more
than a month late. This month is sup-
posed to be in the heart of the rainy sea-
son, but If it rains every other day Mexi-
cans think something unusual has hap-
pened.
This weather condition has caused both
Popocatepetl and IztacHhuatl to lose
some of their pride and beauty. Both
have a few thousand feet of snow left.
In the winter months the snow line on
Popocatepetl extends more than a mile
down the side of the mountain, but
usually in the summer months he 1s doing
well to have 3000 feet of snow. Ho now
has less than 2000 feet.
Popocatepetl Is abo:jt 17,500 feet above
the sea level. His slater, lstacclhuatl, is
about 17,100 feet.

PITTSBURG, Pit-, July 16.—Tho strike
situation at tho Pressed Steel Car Com
pany's plant In McKees Rock was quiet
but cnilnous at midnight. For the first
time Slnco their arrival the constabulary
trmps snatched a few hours' sleep.
Throughout tho early part of the even-
ln« e\orv house occupied by tho strikers
and their families In McKees Rock was
searched for firearms, but the hunt wa«
t,Th.''~ono clash of the night occurred be-
tween a deputy sheriff and a crowd of j
strike sympathizers. Tho deputy was on <
his way homo and was surrounded by
:mgry strikers, and pulled his revolver,
shouting Into the crowd. It was reported
that hi wounded three of the mob and
that th. in lured men had been dragged
to hiding places by their comradas.
Purl her trouble Is feared at daybreak,
whet the constabulary will attempt to
deport several of the strike leaders, who
have sc. far evaded arrest, but are known
to have participated In the rioting.
Today's demonstration against. Ihe State
authorities and constabulary Is an Indi-
cation of the feeling of the striking men.
Events were highly colored today by
the appearance ot tho wives and women
sympathizers of the striking men. With
their babes In arms, and bricks ana
Rton.-.i In their tree hands, these Amazons
resisted the efforts of tho authorities to
invest their homes in search of strike
loaders throughout tho entire day.
A trooper of the -onsiubulary meeting
with resistance in one Instance, drove
his horse through the front door of a
striker s house and demounting, arrested
the man he was looking for and prac-
tlcallv galloped him to the box cara be-
Ing used as police stations. The trooper,
it is reported, was badly beaten b>
women sympathizers while performing
the arrest. It la also reported that a
woman was shot during the rioting of the
past twentv-four hours. While the rumor
Is credited hv the strikers, the car com-
pany official's deny knowledge of -t.
Pour of the strikers were seleclsd to-
day as a committee to wait, on the com-
pany officials and endeavor to get an ar-
bitration hearing. The company late to-
day refused to treat with the men.

RUSSIA IS ALERT.
Will Send Soldiers if Any Foreigners
Need Protection.
ST. PETERSBURG, July If,.—Tha Foi-
elgn Office at a late hour this afternot.n
expressed doubt concerning the accuracy
of the dispatches from Teheran saying
that the Shah of Persia had taken refuge
at the Russian legation. A dispatch re-
ceived from M. Sabetln. filed at Teheran
this morning, one hour later than the
dispatches in question, does not say the
Shah sought refuge with the Russian dip-
lomat.
A telegram from M. Sabetln, dated at
JO o'clock this morning, asked Instruc-
tions with regard to the Shah should he
want protection. Ho waj» Instructed to
I

Clothing Co.
509-511 EAST HOUSTON STREET
protect the Shah and furnish him with
an escort to the frontier.
The full strength <»f the Russian ex-
pedition is now at Kaavin, and if neces-
sary the cavalry could get. to Teheran
in two days. The Foreign Office Is un-
der the impression that a detachment
will be required, not. so much to protect
the Shah or to oppose the Ba.khtarl
tribesmen, as to handle the street mobs
and the Teheran rabble which is bent on
pillage.
The troopa inevitably will be sent In If
a single Russian in killed or if a for-
eigner needs protection. It Is evident, the
role of the troops will be confined en-
tirely to police duty.
Both the Russian officials and the of-
ficials of the Russian legation at Teheran
have been enjoined 1<» remain strictly
neutral In Internal nffalre and to avoid
interfering in the retention of a new
ruler.
