Censorship Is Strict. Mexico City, 'April 15, Via Havana, April . 22. The following despatch was, sent. by. mail to Havana in order .to avoid the' censorship established by General Huerta, which is more strict than at any time during recent revolutions-: "Every telegraph wire; commercial, railroad or cable, J is watched over by one of the most re liable and intelligent men in the gov4' ernment telegraph service, who acts as censor." ' These men frankly inform would be senders "of despatches that it is not a question of the veracity of their messages nor whether they disclose military movements, but is merely a question of suppressing all news not .favorable to the government. Code Messages Prohibited. Code messages, have been absolute ly prohibited with the exception only of bank telegrams. The bankers of Mexico succeeded in having the embargo on these messages raised, but only after they had proved that the retention of the despatches was seriously embarrassing the financial department of the government. While Nelson O'Shaughnessy was acting as the messenger of the United States government to Provisional President Huerta in the endeavor to avert war between the two countries more than ninety-nine per cent of the Mexican residents in the federal capital went about their affairs in total ignorance of the crisis. News Cleverly Concealed. Huerta and his official family clev erly concealed even from their inti mate friends all knowledge of strained relations between Mexico and the United States, and the general public was even more in the dark, since the press, controlled by the government, published columns of victories gained by "the federal armies in the north. Reports of federal suc cesses said to have occurred at places far beyond the limits of the telegraph lines were printed broadcast. One despatch announced with great dis play tha't Villa had been captured. The railroads ceased some time ago carrying freight to the north, as the limited supply of fuel oil on han.d made it necessary to conserve it for the use of military trains. Apprehension Is Caused. Considerable apprehension has been aroused in the capital by the movements of Emiliano Zapata, the rebel ieader in the south, who, after gaining undisputed possession of the State of Guerrero with the exception of the port of Acapulco, has shown indications of moving northward. These southern rebels have recently gained considerably in numbers, and it is feared they may become formid able -enough to venture an atack on the federal capital. , lr. W. W. Bracket.

MANWARING Wife of Connecticut Democratic Com - mlttecman Also Secures Cus tody of Child. Hartford, April 22.- After a sud den and abrupt hearing before Judge William L. Bennett in the superior court yesterday afternoon Mrs. May Cadwell Manwaring won an absolute divorce from Selden ' B. Manwaring, who is a member from Waterbury, Conn., of the democratic state central committee and at present manager of a restaurant in Grand Central station, New York. , The quick action was by agreement between counsel, and the defendant's attorney, Richard P. Freeman of New London, contested only for the cus tody of the thirteen -year-old boy, Philip, who is a great favorite of Commodore Morton F. Plant of New Liondon, who is supervising his edu cation. The decree was granted on statutory grounds. Judge Bennett awarded the custody of the boy to Mrs. Manwaring with permission for the lad ' to visit his father at reasonable intervals. Man waring was married fifteen years ago in Wethejrsfield, and is well known politically and as the manager of the Oswegatchie House, at the New Lon don shore. YALE STUDENTS BURN EFFIGY OF HUERTA Di Cavalry Troop to B; Pirated Ill s Evening by 0fltadiiatK. New Haven, April 22. Last night at Yale before a serious appearing court martial, Huerta was burned at the stake. Yes. Huerta's effigy was publicly burned by some Yale students last nignt in High street. Howeverbefore invading Mexico to secure the body of the despot, an army had been collected. ,So a man stationed at the curb whistled tha jnost alluring patriotic tunes with his fife and soon the recruits came nock irig in from all corners of the cam pus. The recruiting process was simple; one had merely to salute the nag and then en route for Mexico. Later in the evening to celebrate the opening of histilities some Shefl! men set fire to a grass plot near Wall street. Soon a chemical engine ap peared upon the scene. As the fire men would put the fire out at one end of the plot, the students would light it at another, and so it was fully a half hour before the firemen could leave. The attempts of some to lire the trees met with the disfavor of the majority of those present. There was some parading last even ing but the number of men in line did not at all compare with the crowd that turned out Sunday evening. It is certain that nearly all the Undergraduates will be on hand to night when the plans for a Yale cav alry troop will be perfected. Capes Capes are once , more the vogue but we, in the H. O. P.

In fact, the opening was quieter than yesterday. First changes were small and irregu lar, and speculative interest in the market seemed to be 'at low ebb. Government bonds, which on Monday eased off on the prospect of war with Mexico, held steady on the early call today. Declines of American stocks in London were ignored here.
