Spanish Minister Beaten By Carran
za’s Orders When Accused of
Sheltering Enemy.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—Jose Ca
ro, Spanish minister to Mexico, has
arrived here after being beaten and
driven from Mexico. The minister
8till shows marks of the blows from
the whips of the Mexican soldiers of
Provisional President Carranza.
Carranza agents. Minister Caro de
clares, trumped up charges that he
had sheltered enemies of Carranza
and had effected the escape of sev
eral of the leaders of the revolution
ary party from tho country. Caro does
not deny that he afforded shelter to
foreigners in Mexico but has entered
a vigorous denial that he interferred
in the affairs of Carranza. He ex
presses intense indignation at the in
dignities which were heaped upon
him by Carranza.
He has laid his case before the
State Department and has sent a
complete report to the Spanish gov
ernment. He reports conditions in
Mexico as rapidly becoming unbear
able and predicts that America must
soOn intervene as Carranza has be
gan a system of persecution against
foreigners.
LONDON BANKERS
PREDICT PEACE
Declare That Germany Is Staggering
Under Financial Strain and
Must Collapse.
LONDON, Feb. 12.—Leading bank
ers of London do not believe that the
European war will last long and ex
press the belief that the end will
come sooner than expected. They are
inclined to make light of Lord Kitch
ener’s statement when he declared
that he did not know when the war
would end but that so far as Eng
land was concerned it would begin
next May.
The bankers base their forecasts
upon their knowledge of the finan
cial co.nditions In Germany. They
say that the nation is staggering un
der a heavy strain and that it must
soon collapse. Germany is said to be
financing both Austria and Turkey,
both of which nations have proved
heavy drains upon the resources of
the empire.
Lloyd-George Chancellor of the
Exchequer, is reported to be in Par
is now, where he Is conferring with
the French and Russian ministers of
'finance. It is understood as a result
of the meeting that Britain will un
dertake to finance the Allies to an
■even greater extent than she has done
in the past.
