Activity of Mexican forces beyond tho American linos increased during Sunday, Refu gees appeared within tho American lines and declared that Mexican cavalry was approaching from tho northeast. Tho refugees expressed tho opinion that the Mexicans wcro preparing to attack the city. Horr Everbusch, German consul at Tamplco, was Insulted by a rebel colo nel, a member of General Caballero's Btaff, while attempting to arrange for the departure of 140 refugoes aboard tho Hamburg-American liner Yplranga. It is reported the captain of tho Gor man cruiser Dresden was prepared to land marines, if necessary, to obtain the release of the fugitives. Arrangements had boon made at Tamplco for tho departure of the Ypl ranga, but later the rebel officers or dered all tho passengers off the ves sel. Thoroupon the consul with an of ficer of tho cruiser Dresden, wont to see tho rebel loaders. "This low-bred Gorman consul makes mo tired," said tho rebol colo nel. Tho consul protested, whereupon tho rebel repeated the Insult and reached for a weapon. General Cabal lero Intervened and the departure of tho ship was finally arranged after the refugees had been held all night It was belloved tho rebels wanted an excuso to seizo tho arms and am munition aboard the Yplranga, which were not delivered to Huerta. Washington, May 19. President Huerta'B elimination from power In Mexico through his own delegates to the mediation conference In Niagara Falls was deemed a certainty after the delegates had explained their at titude to personal friends and depart ed for New York on the way to the peace meeting, which will be opened Wednesday. , It became clear that the 'Confer ence would deal not only with tho "Tamplco Incident," but with tho in ternal war of Mexico, and that the establishment of peace, with perhaps a constitutionalist in the provisional presidency, although neither Carranza nor Villa, would be the chief object of the conferees, ' The chief military develppment of Sunday was a report from General Funstpn that the San FranclBco bridge on the lnteroclanic railroad, 28 miles from Vera Cruz, had been destroyed by Mexican federals. General Funston reported rumors that, General Navarette, Mexican com mander, ,wos In tho vicinity of Vera Cruz with 3,000 men. Army officers seriously doubted, however, that Nava rette had so many troops. Although General Huerta has sent delegates to mediate differences and they know tho viewpoint, there Is a possibility that hostilities may be pro voked at any time by the federal troops near Vera Cruz, which may en tangle the situation and force another crisis. Developments affecting foreign In terests, are expectod at Tamplco. At the instonco of Chevalier W. L. F. C. Van Rappard, minister of the Nether lands, Instructions were sent by the secretary of the navy to. Rear Admiral Mayo at Tamplco to forward full In formation In regard to a reported de mand of the constitutionalists thero for a "voluntary contribution" to tho constitutionalists' cause. Washington, May 18. Tho gravest possibilities are Involved in the report ed torture and execution of Private Samuel Parks of tho Twenty-eighth United 8tates Infantry by Huerta'B soldiers near Vera Cruz. The United States demanded of tho Huerta government news of tho fate of Parks on Friday, declaring that un less Information about him was given Immediately tho Amorlcan government would consider that "an unfriendly and hostile act" had been committed In violation of the understanding for a cessation of hostilities pending media tion. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan drafted a strong communica tion after receiving word from the Brazilian minister in Mexico City that Parks had been "executed." If this government ia.ablo to deter mine absolutely thnt Parks was exe cuted by Mexican troops the Incident may bo ground for tho termination of the agreement for a cessation of hos tilities. Whllo the Parks caso brought the sinister development of tho day, there were othor features In the Mexican sit- &9xy00 Fire Kills Man. Galveston, Tex., May 19.

Speculation as to possible sig nificance in tho delay was allayed later by tho announcement that tho media tors had acted merely on a request of tho Huerta delegates, now on the way to Washington, for tlmo to rest after reaching Niagara Falls. Tho holding of flvo men reputed to be South Americans for trial at Vera Cruz as "enlpora" pro'mlsod to give tho mediators a problem.

Issues a Precautionary Warning. Serum, tho prevention of hog chol era and tho precautions to bo taken by farmers is the Bubject of warnings being emphasized by tho state board of directors. Farmers are urged to en force an offoctlvo quarantine when cholera broaks out on a farm. It Is a mistake, It Is claimed, to neglect sani tary precautions and to rely wholly on serum. Tho serum is usoful, not so much to cure sick hogs, as to prevent other animals from taking the disease. Tho following precautionary meas ures are necessary: "Do not locate hog lots near a public highway, a stream or a railroad. "Do not allow neighbors or strangers to enter your hog lots and do not go Into your neighbors' lots. It you are compelled to pass from one bog lot to another, clean your bIiocb and wash them with a 3 por cont solution ol the compound solution of crefiol. "Do not put new stock, cither hogs or cattle, In lots with herd already on the farm. "If hog cholera breaks out, soparato tho sick from tho apparently healthy nnlmalB and burn tho'carcasscs of all dead hogs on tho day of death.

Great numbers of them havo been mado this Benson, trimmed In prac tical and attractive ways with plain or flgurod ribbons, silk covered but tons and rings, silk tassels, flat braid flowers and other novelties suited to Juvenllo millinery. Ribbon, as in former seasons, la more in evidence on children's hatB than any other trimming. But, In a tlmo when tho millinery of grownups Is bo universally flower trimmed, It fs natural that this vogue Bhould bo reflected in hats for llttlo people. Therefore, on lacy, dressy hats for mld-summor wear ono eecs tiny wreaths and llttlo" noaogays of tho best known flowers adorning chil dren's hats. But on tho heavier straws, particularly on mllan, the best effects aro wrought with ribbon trim ming. Threo good shapes, pictured hero, are trimmed with plain messallno rib bon. Tho methodB of applying It are worth studying becauso they nro char acteristic of children's millinery and bo different from tho elaborato bows and ribbon on hats for grownups. In tho first plctnro tho crown of tho shapa Is covered with figured cropo, and a largo buckle, cut from buckram, is covered with tho samo material. A sash of No. CO messallno ribbon is folded about tho crown.

Threo small Bilk-covered but tons aro added, by way of finish, set on tho pointed loop. In tho center figure the ribbon is put on in a sash about the crown- with, a flat shirred rosotto applied on the side crown. Tho Bash is caught to tho hat at tho right sldo with a tiny cluster of button rosea. The center of tho rosettr is flnishod with a simi lar cluster and two pointed ends of ribbon extending from It to tho edge of tho brim. In tho third plcturo a five-Inch rib bon Is shirred over a flno wlro on each edge and a chining thread la run along tho middle. By means oC those Bhlrrings a ribbon fan is formed.
