The American Interests Are Be- Meved To De Safe--The Only Serious Threat Comes From Cindad Porfirio Diaz. Mexico City, Feb. 26.--The Zapatista problem confronting the new adminis tration is assuming much the sama form as during previous periods of unrest. Representatives of Genevevo da Ta 0, reckoned the fiercest and most bloodthirsty of the Zapatista leaders, have submitted to the Department of the Interior. a réyuest for an agree ment for which the forces under him will surrender. The principal concession which this vebel leader demands is the removal of Patricio Leyva, governor of the state of Morelos, a Maderista incumbent, and the substitution of a man accept- able to the rebels. He also demands the recognition of all grades of chieis and self-appointed officials of the reb- els' commands. While * it is not impossible that an effort will be made to placate the rob- cls, the matter of the governorship is regarded as impracticable, and it is doubtful if the other points can be ad- justed readily. It is certain that great sums of money will be used to | bring about the surrender, as was the chso during the last administration. th 8 jel no | Db American Interests Safe.

Paris, Feb. 26.--A student at Caen fell in love with a pretty fe- tress and persuaded her to let him take a plaster castof her head and shoulders in order that he might perpetuate her beauty in marble, Having prepared about twenty pounds of plaster, the student ap- plied it, begging the g'rl to bear bravely the discomforts of the op- eration. Presently the plaster be- gan to set and the girl found breathing difficult. , Feeling faint, she called on her admirer to remove the plaster, bat it stuck fast. Then she shrieked that she was dying. The young man rushed for the doctor. On the arrival of ths physician he looked at the girl then said calmly: "It's not a doctor you want; a mason." A mason was found, and hammer and ch'sel began, amid many heart-rending appeals from the 'imprisoned model, to chip her it's with ut. The incident put an end to the student's romance, for the actress is now suing her blundering admir- er for damages, and the landlord of the studio has entered «claim for compensation for the camage caus. ed on the premises during the extri- ¢ation of the model. \ EVA BOOTH DECLARE AGAINST MILITANCY Salvation Army Official is For Suf.

Frank Cochrane Would Give Cabinet Greater Railway Powers, T Ottawa, Fob. 26.~The throwing open to homesteading of a part of one of Canada's forest reserves in Western Canada in order to serve political ends is the latest government plan for the conservation of ministerial majorities. A bill to set aside for homestead purposes two 'townships, comprising portions of the weston end of the Riding Mountain timber reserves, will, it is expected, be introduced into the the interior, at an early date. The bill is intended primarily to implement certain promises 'made by the conser- vative local member for Russell and the organizer for Dr. Roche, in Mar- quette, prior to the last federal elec: tion. This promise was given to a Jarge number of foreign squatters who had been encouraged by the local mem- ber to remain where they wére under the promise that "if the conservatives were returned to power the lands in question would be cut out of the re- serve and thrown open for homestead, and that the squatters would get the land they had settled on." _ This somewhat novel method of gain- ing votes and of rewarding the faith- ful is expected to raise considerable Protest when the bill comes up in the house. The cutting up for homestead purpofes of ope of the finest forest re- serves in the dominion of Canada is not believed to be justified under the circumstances. The two townships in Uestion contain 208 quarter sec- tions, and when settled would mean an average of about 300 votes. This addition to the poll would be of great value to both the local and federal members whose constituencies overlap- Hon.
