Declaring the belief that they can no longer en joy proper guarantees in Mexico, 40 Spaniards who have been residents of the Laguna district for several years are leaving for the Argentine republic, "where they believe a. prosperous future is open to them. Among those who have already de parted is Flrmln Aldaz, a ranchman of some means, of Coyote, where nu merous disorders have occurred since the signing of peace. Other ranchers and clerks from San Pedro, Santa Te resa and other parts of the Laguna district are preparing for their de parture. Victims of Outrages. Spaniards have been the victims of outrages since the close of the revolu tion. In one assaulti at Santa Teresa one man was killed and two wounded. The men will engage in agriculture largely, but some will enter commer cial fields. During the past two weeks consid erable uneasiness has been felt among the Spaniards in this section owing to the printing of anonymous circulars in the guise of mushroom periodicals threatening the safety of the Spanish colonies in Torreon and Gomez Palacio. Rumors have also been current of an impending attack on Spaniards, hut these are not taken seriously. The action of the emigrants was prompted by -what has happened rather than the consequences which might arise from the circulation of these rumors, Unrest Among Miners. A decided feeling of unrest prevails among thousands of coal miners em ployed t at Rio Escondido, where the men are effecting the reorganization of a union intended to be stronger than that which inaugurated the one day strike at the mines two weeks ago. Only three foreigners, two Scotchmen and one Englishman, remain in .the employ of the company besides the Spanish clerks employed. The men returned to, work in ail the mines of the company- but Nos. 6 and 7 have since "been practically closed t down and part of the forces sent to No 2 and to the Ciudad Porf iria Diaz mines. It was at Bio Escondido that grave disturbances followed the departure from the station of Gen. Francisco Ma dero on his way to Mexico City.

ON REVOLT Archbishop Ortiz Issues a Warning to the Clergy to Avoid Political Disputes. SHOULD KEEP OUT OF MEXICAN DISPUTE Guadalajara, Mexico, July 15. At' least one of the high ecclesiastics of the Catholic church in Mexico does not believe in the clergy mixing in poli tics, notwithstanding the fact that the National Catholic party has been formed with, the object of gaining greater freedom for the Catholic church In this country Archbishop Ortiz, of .this city, has issued a circular letter litical question of the day. He says "That priests of this diocese may have a standard, fixed and certain, to guide them in the attitude and conduct they should observe in relation to the political parties that have appeared In connection with coming elections, j ana principally in relation to tne Ja tional Catholic party, we have deemed it convenient to remind them of that which was ordered by the plenary coun cil of Latin-America, Nos. 656 and 657." Bars Political Activity. Then follows a quotation directing priests to refrain from mixing in "po litical questions and parties; from dis cussing politics inside or outside the church, and from showing favor to one party more than another, except in the event one party is openly hostile to the Catholic religion. Continuing, the archbishop says: "From the above It Is deduced that all priests are prdhlbited from taking an active part In political parties, ana it is our will that all comply with a regulation so prudent. "Do not call,, or preside at, political reunions, accept any charge in connec tion with them, nor treat of political subjects in the pulpit, the confession al or in religious as5f)ciatIons." The National Catholic party is active throughout the republic, and will have candidates in the coming national and state election?. Some Catholic priests of this state have been accused by local newspapers of working for the Catholic party. De Lara Called to Stage. Chihuahua, Mexico, July 15.

Deneen. of Illinois, who fig gured in the Lorimer senatorial fight, again testified today before the senate j Lorimer committee Governor Deneen said that before the publication of tho alleged White con fession, editor Kelley, of the Chicago Tribune, sugested to him that a special session of the legislature be called to consider the Lorimer case. The witness said that at a consul cation with his ad visers, however, the conclusion was reached that the investigating commit tee would piobably consist of men who are guilty and the special session was not called. The "Jackpot" Incident. Representative White's reference in hls alleged confession to the $30,000 loss to the corruption "jackpot" because of the governor vetoing "one" bill was taken up. Governor Deneen said he had examined his vetoes 4 and "guessed" White was referring to the "corpora tion bill," revising the corporation laws of the state. Governor Deneen said h& vetoed it because it allowed "a barber shop to incorporate and buy a rail road." Many Callj Few Remembered. The witness said a large number of the leading lawyers of the state had seen him in behalf of the bill. "Did Mr. Bancroft, general counsel of the International Harvester com pany, see about not 'vetoing the bill?" asked Mr. Hanecy. " "I do not recall whether he called before or after the bill was passed.' The witness added that he did not know whether Bancroft favored the bill which was objectipnable to Deneen.

Browneback that he "would -defeat Shurtleff if it was necessary to use all the patronage to do it." Deneen 'Denies. "I never did," replied ae governor, j He added that Ford claimed at one con- j versation that Deneen was using all the patronage to that purpose. Gov. Deneen denied that he had said to representative Durfee when Durtee announced to him that he "was going to leave Hopkins "for Lorimer that Lori mer would be elected and that the elec tion would be satisfactory to him. "I tried to prevent Durfee voting for Lorimer," said the governor, "and suggested to him that I probably would have to call a special session of the legislature in the fall to pass on water way matters and in the meantime .the senatorial candidates would fight the matter out before the people." The Noyes Conversation. Conversations Goy. Deneen had with Frank B. Xoyes, then publisher of the Chicago RecordHeralO, were 'gone Tpto. The -witness denied that Noyes had said to him "that Lorimer was the only Republican who could take, or con sistently have the office of senator by Democratic votes." He also denied that Noyes had told him "that if an attempt was made by Lorimer to elect Shurtleff senator that every vote the newspapers could con trol would be thrown to Hopkins and HoPkJ,ns uld b.e. ?leed-" I do not recollect any such conver sation and do not recall any conver sation in which he claimed that he could control any votes in the legisla ture," added the governor.
