TENSE SITUATION DOWN IN MEXICO

Madero Did Not Resign and Fighting Still Continues—U. S. May Decide on intervention. The situation in Mexico continues to be serious and there is now a growing probability that the United States will yet have to intervene. The report that Madero had resigned proved not to be authentic, although the senate had asked his resignation. The strictest censorship has been established over telegraphic messages out of Mexico City and the newspaper reporters can send only such reports as meet the approval of government agents. An armistice was agreed upon Saturday hut was soon violated and some heavy fighting occurred Sunday. Secretary ol State Knox has replied to the telegram sent by Madero, which asked that the U. S. refrain from intervention. The reply is said to have contained a statement that the U. S. had not changed its position of the last two years and that it was simply asking protection for the U. S. and other foreign countries. President Taft met his cabinet In special session at midnight Sunday night to discuss the tense situation. The congress is said to have almost suspended all legislation because the thoughts of all ape on the Mexican trouble.

He was a healthy and vigorous boy and the sudden death proved a great -shock to his parents and school friends. The funeral took place at the Bath Gate church, near Hamilton, and near the Brusnahan home. Only a few months ago Mr. Brusnahan’s oldest son was murdered in New Mexico.
