Arrests Expected for Violation of the
United States Neutrality Law
lbs Attempt to llsfce Illaz Fresldent for Life
Will Lead to Assassination or a Revolu
tion War Imminent
Special to the Gazette
lannno Tkx June 2i There seems
to bo no reasonable doubt that the Mexi
can government tears some kind o up
rising and there are various sensational
rumors ntlont in connection therewith
but none of them can be traced to a
source of sufficient authority to warrant
recitation here What Rives color to the
belief that the general government
of Mexico ifpprebends danger
is the fact that troops
are beluc massed on the Irqntier at a
pace that seems to be double quick It
will be remembered that it was on this
frontier that the resolution had birth
that made Diaz president of Mexico Of
this however those iutcrosted in Mexico
can rest assured that the Diaz govern
ment is today strong enough to nip In
the bud any revolution It is
furtbor stated that charges have been
made against some three or more
parties under the United States neutrality
laws and warrants for their arrest are
sow in tho hands of the United States
oflicials It is most reasonable to sup
pose that thoro arc to be some very sen
sational developments here in a few days
that will assume an international char
acter and the Diaz government while it
has nothing to fear is only acting on the
cafe side The enemies of Diaz say that
the recent law passed by the Mexican
congress making it possible at the
next election to elect Diaz president
for life will result in hia assassination
nnd revolution They say that some of
tho governors of the different states of
the Mexican confederation say boldly
that If congress can pass a law making it
possible to be president for life that
their legislatures ought also to make
their term of office for life There is no >
doubt that the law has occasioned con
siderable indignation in Mexico
The originators of the out
break are said to make headquarters
in Inrndo and agent of the Mexican
government so it is said have been
here for several days past securing quiet
ly tho names of parties
Since tho nbove was written it has
boen definitely learned that warrants
have been issued for Ruiso Sondenal and
about fifty othors Deputy United States
Marshal Yglesias has the papers lor the
nrrosts nnd knowing full well
that he has not forco sufficient
to arrest them he has asked for troops
from Fort Mcintosh to assist They
are said to be stationed about fifty miles
nbove here Deputy O Glesao vill leave
Fort Molntosh at 11 oclook tonight for
the polut the scout indicates as the ren
dezvous of tho revolutionists with n suffi
cient force ot United States soldiers to
kill or capture them At the same time
a force of Mexican soldiers will leave the

Contrary to the expectations of many of the

will be reorganized into corporation subject to
same lairs governing other corporations in
which case it may be possible for the public to
deal in securities of the new com
pany on their merits When the decision was
first announced it was not generally understood
that the main question as to the legality of the
trust had been decided As soon as the full
force of the decision was understood there was

It is said is to take place under tho anspices
ot the Virginia athletic association On the
Virginia shore of the Potomac near Washing
ton Some months ago there was a good deal
of comment caused by the enactment ot a law
by the Virginia legislature which incorporated
an athletic club and gave the officers of the club
omnipotent powers as to its grounds and prop
erty It is stated today the club has purchased
the property lying between this city and Alex
andria known as the Gentlemens driving
park and propose to erect thereupon a
club house and such other buildings
as may be necessary The work of construction
is to commence at once The management has

can do this withont interference for the
law plainly states no Sheriff or police
officer has any Jurisdiction over it Professor
Perty ot the club management his intimated the
opening performance at their new grounds will
be a bull fight This proposition would bring

The following minority report was read
To the Honorable Mayor and Board ot Alder
men
Gentlemct Your committee on public
grounds to whom was referred Beveral propo
sitions from different parties offering to sell the
city certiin tracts or pieces of land for cemetery
purposes beg leave to report that we have
failed to come to an agreement in said matter
two ot said committee differing with myself as to
the most suitable piece of land to bo purchased
for said purpose I find Messrs Rail and Day
of the opinion that the city had Lo3t accept the
proposition submitted by Col It E Maddox
offering to sell a tract of land lying west of
Sycamore creek and south of and adjoining our
present dumping grounds and by close exam
ination ot same I find according to
my judgment at least onehalf of
said land in the valley of Sycamore
creek The uDland is cut up by a large branch
running east and west across same and some
smaller drains which will leave only about one
fourth smooth land and perhaps less than that
amount which for the city to buy at the price
submitted would be ruinous in my judgment
As to the other propositions submitted I will
state that I believe the most suitable piece for
the city to buy is the tract offered by Fakes
Darter Co the same being a part of tho C B
Daggett survey containing about 200 acres It
is located on the northeast side ot the river about
one mile east from our old cemetery
The land is very near and smooth
with beautiful elevation the soil is a sandy
loam with clay foundation and plenty ot trees
I recommend thepurchase of the land offered
by Messrs Fakes Dater Co believing thi3
location to be the most suitable place for a cem
etery that can be found in the vicinity of Fort
Worth James Ktan

flicting views on the cemetery location that tho

capital

he was in favor of Mr Nies motion
Mr Jackson was in favor of the city owning
only enough ground to bury the paupers

and the council recommended that the matter
be taken np by private parties

frame building which on he previous night
stood near the Ellis house and alruot against
the electric wire ot the street railway a thing
which Mr Hurley said would not have been al

Mr Nies wanted to know what aid tho city
would get in the repairing of the bridge
Mr Clements wanted to know if tho street
railway company could not get along with one
approach so as to accommodate teams Could
the company not gel along with ono track
Mr Nicks sold the council long ago had dis
cussed that matter and decided that two tracks
were not so much inconvenience as ona track
Mr Clements did not think so
Mr Martin would like to hear from Mr
Byers about aid in repairing the structure
Mr Byers said the company would give the

t was laid nnder instructions from the council

neer Mr Nies moved adoption of the resolution
Mr Jackson moved that the expenditure be
limited to 1500
Mr Fraser was in favor of doing the work
without limit as to cost It they started in let
them finish the job
Mr Jacks on saw no assurance that the costot
repair would not go np from S1S00 to C80U There
was no assurance that the city would not be
caught liko it was when the bridge was originally
built Mr Jackson amended his limit to make
it XtZOQ and Mr Clements seconded it
Mi Nies moved amendment to the amendment
so that the work should not be begun until a
third of the amount to be expended be pledged
Nies
by private parties Day seconded Mr
amendment
Mr Nicks opposed the latter amendment He
thought the SOj offer was liberal He made the
point that as the city has accepted aid from
the county in building the bridgo the city wa3
obliged to keep it in repair

ments
Mr Byars wanted to know it his proposition
was rejected
nis Honor I should say yes It is met by a

gress in this business We must not dodge the
issue Ifa majority of the council arc in favor
of the repairs I am in favor ot it We are losing
time Tho opportunity cannot be mado more
golden

many citizens of the North Side have approached
me about the bridgo They say they lmve paid
taxes to have the bridge built and the city
should keep it in repair
Mr Jones We will have to repair it and we
might as well go ahead Mr Frasers idea is
the proper one
Mr Fraser moved that the city engineer be
instructed to prepare plans and advertise for
bids to repair the bridge
Mr Jackson could not see the use of the dis
cussion He did not think there would be any
dlfnculty raising the necessary subscriptions to
carry on the repairs under the adopted resolu
tionMr
Mr Byars As far as the North Side railway
company is concerned you have got the nest pro
position you will ever have from us The bridge
may fall before we will raise our proposition
We did not inquire into the cost of repairs be
fore we made the proposition
