Jose Vascon-celos, who wa9 sent by the Mexican constitutional's on a secret mission to London, arrived here today en route to Piedras Negras, where he will report to Governor Carranza. He issued a statement tonight declaring that the threatened anti-American demonstration in Mexico City was deliberately planned by Huerta and his adherents. Advices received by constitutionalist headquarters bere tonight state that tbe priests of Monclova and Candela, who were captured fighting against the constitutionalists, had been courtmartialed and shot. Destitute Americans are arriving in the United States on every boat from Mexican ports. Many of them face financial ruin, owing to the series of revolutions which has paralyzed commercial and industrial enterprises in Mexico, and they are leaving the Southern republic with reluctance.

American consuls are empowered to draw upon the State Department for funds to bring Americans out of the various danger zones, and, in some instances, notably at Torreon, Ambassador Henry LaneWigon has sent money to be expended and consular agents to relieve actual hunger. Before Mexico passed through the travail, which commenced with the Ma-dero revolt against the Diaz Tegime, most of tbe now indigent Americans were engaged in prosperous ranching and mining enterprises or other' commercial pursuits. Whilo the United States government has repeatedly warned them to flee and depend upon the government of the United States to secure a settlement of their claims against Mexico, the fear of delay in the adjustment of claims and the hazard of the loss of their property has made hundreds risk remaining in the revolution-torn country. Within the last month, between 400 and 500 have been brought to the United States at government expense. PROTEST IS EFFECTIVE Sunday Anti-Foreign Demonstration in Mexico City Checked.

The American ambassador 's note of protest to the Foreign Office against permitting an dav. had certain indirect results, al though the government did not aDso-anti-American demonstration here to- lutely forbid tbe ioldig of ciais style "a popular raanuesiauon oi patriotism."

A detachment of police accompanied the procession and the minister of war, General Ulanquet, followed in an auto mobile. Brig. Gen. Samuel Garcia Cuellar, governor of the federal district, yester day refused permission for a demonstration Sunday and rdered the police to disperse it if it formed. The students last night applied to the minister of the interior, Dr.

Aureliano Urratia, who told them that lie sympathized with them and would overrule the governor order on condition that they created on disturbance. A government official last night asked Ambassador Wilson for a statement regarding the charges that the rebels had received aid from Americans. The ambassador denied the truth of the allegation that an American warship at Guaymas threw tbe rays of its searchlight on the city during recent fighting enabling tho rebels to take better aim. WILL ATTACK MONCLOVA Bebels Will Attempt to Betake City Mexican Federals Captured. Eagle Pass, July 13.

Refugees arriving in Pediras Negras during last night brought news of the capture of Monclova, a Constitutionalist stronghold, last Thursday, by federals under General Maas. Constitutionalists are now massing at several different points preparatory to a. desperate, ihft jity probably some time this week. The capture of Monclova was a brilliant coup by General Maas, who waited until Governor Carranza left to attack General Navarrette and then he found little difficulty in occupying the city, which had been left with anly 300 men as guard. Governor Carranza is reported to have abandoned Candela in an effort to prevent the capture of Monclova, but in spite of forced marches he arrived too late.

Mulhalli confessed lobbyist of the Na tional Association of Manufacturers. arter doiging subpoena servers of 1 the louse of since Saturday evening, will be before tho Senate lobby Investigating committee again tomorrow and resume his revelations of alleged dealings and double dealings wtih men of affairs in and out of Congress.

Though legislative affairs, chiefly tariff revision and currency reform, are progressing and destined to take on new vigor this week, interest in them is. overshadowed by the Mulhall charges, hitting at public men right and left, as the Overman committee digs deeper into the huge pile of correspondence carried on between Mulhall, officials of the National Association of Manufacturers, labor leaders, congressmen and others. Enlivening tbe interest in the lobby hunt is the game of hide and seek attending it, members of the Senate committee in the role of bidets and members of the house investigating committee acting as seekers after the arch-witness, Mulhall, and his ten years' pile of correspondence. 'hairman Onrrett and Irhr hy.the- house to inquire into Mulhsll's charges, were considerably aroused yesterday over the trick played by the Senate, committee, which let Mulhall leave town for over Sunday before subpoena servers could round up the witness for a Saturday afternoon ession with the house committee. Senate Hag Nine Point.

As matter-, now stand in the contest between the Senate and the bouse for jurisdiction over the person and the effects of Mulhall. the. Senate claims nine points of the law, being possessed of liotn witness and documents and will continue to hold them until all the pa pers in the case have been read into the record and interpreted bv Mulhall and until they are through with the witness. It is not the intention of the Senate committee to release Mulhall from the subpoena, which antedates that issued by the bouse committee. Member of the committee declared todsy that they could not finish with Mulhall in less than a week and that they might require his presence longer on direct ex-mnination.

In order to avert any possibility of the witness getting away from the Senate side, the Senate com mittee contemplates holding day and night sessions. Tho house investigators will continue to watch for, opportunity -to catcb Muihall when he is not engaged before, the Overman committee, and in the meantime they are planning to examine acquaintances and relatives of the Baltimore lobbyist to get all possible information nbout the man and his operations from outride sources. BUI la President's. President Wilson will return to Washington tomorrow from his vacation and lie will be gratified to find the Senate ready to begin debate on the long considered tariff bill. He will also find that the bill has been made a party measure as he desired, and that when it becomes a law it will have been placed on the statute books by the Democratic party and not as the result of any particular effort by an individual congressman or senator or clique of individuals.

The tariff debate really will begin in the Senate Wednesday, although the first Republican 'gun will be fired at the measure tomorrow when Senator Me-Cumber of North Dakota attacks the agricultural schedule. He will speak by unanimous consent because he is obliged to leave Washington for some time. i 8enator McCumber will rotnrn in time to vote against the bill. Senator Simmons, chairman of the Finance Committee, will submit the majority report oa the bill in day or two and he will make the opening statement for the administration' Wednesday. Republican leaders intend to fight each schedule vigorously, and substitutes for each one will be offered.

In some cases there will be many amendments to each schedule. Republicans Art Beady. Senators Penrose, Smoot, Burton.

Owing to the emergency brought about by the impending strike, it seems probable that the house will pass the Senate bill in order that a means may speedily be provided for arbitration of the threatened gigantic industrial strug gle, which matter will be brought up in the house tomorrow.

Take Up Currency Measures. Currency legislation again will be taken up by the house Committee on Currency and Banking tomorrow, and there is a slight prospect that the committee may get together and complete consideration of the bill by the end of the week. The Owen committee in the Senate has dropped consideration of 'the currency bH while the tariff debate is progressing. It will be taken up again within a few weeks. The bill probably will be passed in the house by the time the Senate has disposed of the tariff.

Despite efforts to assure legislation at this session sentiment against enactment of a currency law continues, to grow in the Senate. Democrats and Republicans alike have been heard to sav that the bill will set no farther in tion, which will lead to its being taken up on the floor next winter.

The speaker, who is the national temperance and citizenship superintendent of the society, said weaknesses of the anti-sa-foon movement had been due to lack of unity. "But in this new militant educational campaign," he said, "which will be nation-wide, we will present a fighting platform of common agreement. "We declare for national prohibition in 1920 as the eighteenth amendment to the constitution of the United StUifv-aftd -befauw -of -past Wtter de feats where good laws nave been on-trusted to unfriendly and uncommitted administrations, we declare for the election of candidates and administrations outspokenly committed to the enforcement of existing temperance laws and to the complete destruction of the liquor traffic.
