CMC Hllloreft, MUTTON REBEL LINES Self Appointed "War Correspondents" Had to Go Hungry in Mexico When Their Motor Car Broke Down. (Associated Press, World's Leased Wire.) SAN DIEGO. March II. With hardship depicted on his face. Al.

Wuest. clubman and driver of the motor car of Editor Van Blarcom's party, which left San Diego Sunduy morning for Ensenada, and which was reported lost, arrived here today. He states that the party proceeded unmolested to within 20 miles of Ensenada, rebels and bandits offering them no violence, when the motor car broke down. Editor Van Blarcom, Eller. a reporter, aud Phillips, a photographer, started to walk to Ensenada, having had nothing to eat since Sunday morning.

This was Monday afternoon. Wuest succeeded in persuading a Russian colonist to drive hira back In a buckboard to Tijuana. Wuest reports that a band of rebels killed the Alcalde at Real Castillo, who refused to obey their demand for provisions and horses. Real Castillo Is about fifty miles south of the border. Wuest also says that rebels in bands of ten and IK are occupying the country between Ensenada and Tijuana, robbing ranches and hamlets of horses and provisions.

These bands had no hesitation about Informing him they intended to unite and attack Ensenada. Official Information received here la to the effect that Governor Vega has started a force of 140 Mexican troops to clear the country of lnsurrecto bandits! This force has started north from Ensenada today and must march fifty miles to the first camp of the rebels, reported by Wuest to be 160 strong in several bands between Real Castillo and the American boundary. ANOTHER EXCUSE FOR PLAYING WAR GAME Unique Reason Oven for Mobilization by "High Military Authority." (tailed Press. World Leased Wire.) S.VN ANTONIO, Texas. March 15.

The mobilization Is merely a demonstration or publication of the suppressed report of Secretary of War Dickinson, which answered the Mc Lachlan congressional resolution Inquiring whether the army was not on an efficient basis," declared a high military authority here today. "Army men understand that Dickinson threatened to resign unless allowed to sho wthe people bow unprepared the army Is for real service. He tried to show this In the report hich was suppressed In a spirit of economy. If It had gone to congress the law makers would have been forced to grant the army's demands tor an efficient organisation. "Unable to get a report before congress thus the army people understand that Dickinson tendered a conditional resignation to Preisident Tatt, to become effective unless the president allowed a hurried mobilization of troops to prove what the report charged regarding unpreparednesa." "The Mexican situation was the reason aelsed upon as an underlying motive for ordering out the division to prove the army's own contention that It was unfit for effective service," this authority continued.

"It will be 11 days from the time the mobilisation order was Issued before a division will be in the field. You will find a major general commanding a division who never saw so many men In the field, and colonels seeing their regiments In their entirety for the first time since the Philippine war." AMERICANS MORE TO BLAME THAN REBELS (Called Press, World's Leased Wire.) KEW YORK, March 11. Intimating that the auspenelon of the constitutional guarantee waa directly aimed at Americana as well aa insurrectos, Jose Yvee Limantour, Mexican minister of finance. In a statement declared that but for the aid of many Americans who had enlisted In the rebel cause, the revolution would have been suppressed many weeks ago. "Every report from the front," said Limantour, "shows that the Americans are more active among the Insurgents than the natives.

Aa they could scarcely expect protection under their own flag should tbey Join In an Insurrection against the United States, they most certainly must take their own chances of being shot to death when caught committing depredations under a foreign flag." 900 RAILWAYMEN TO GET INCREASED PAY MONETON.

THE AMERICAN tea value if yoo ask for Li Capt. McSpadderi, J.H. Cocking and Others in Southern California for Winter Months, Give Their Views.

Preaching the doctrine of "The City Beautiful," and handing1 out pointers for the promotion of the beat interrsts of the well known southern wintering place, J. H. Cocking, of Vancouver, is In Riverside, California. Mr. Cocking Is quoted by the Riverside papers as saying that upwards of 3000 Vancouver people visit Southern California every winter.

Many of them while enjoyintf the semi tropical climate, have a keen eye for investment. Mr. Cocking declares that here are too few Vancouverites investing la Riverside. J. H.

Cocking has seen Vancouver grow from fifty to one hundred and thirty thousands. He has been telling the residents of Riverside a few of the experiences during the development of Vancouver and lias been laying great stress on the seriousness of the beau tiflcatlon of cities. Mr. Cocking himself contemplates seriously making Riverside bts winter home. He was so favorably impressed lust winter that he brought a party with him this time, says the Riverside Press.

The party includes Capt. Mc Spadden, for many years building Inspector for Vancouver, and a former member of tho board of aldermen: Mrs. McSpadden, her son Cecil and daughter. Miss Mabel, and Mr. and Mrs.

Mort and son Oliver. Mr. Cocking is accompanied by tfls wife. Mr. McSpadden naturally Is much Interested In the character of the buildings being erected here, an dex pressed himself as particularly pleased with the county court house, whose classic lines might well be the pattern for Imposing capltol buildings.

He frele that Riverside has a great future. That Vancouver approaches the Los Angeles class in building Improvements, Is Indicated by the fact that the valuation of building permits the coming year Is expected to reach the total of approximately 117,000,000. Last year the total was 113,600,000. That Vancouver people are beginning to take note of Riverside Is shewn by the purchase made only a few months ago by a Mr. Cassidy, a Vancouver attorney, who paid the Chases (40.000 for Victoria htlL Mr.

Cocking states that he understands Mr. Cassidy Intends to hold the property for his own use and will ultimately erect a magnificent home there. Mr. Cocking and friends arrived in Riverside In season to attend the peace conference at the Glenwood Mission Inn and the dedication of the new cathedral organ. They expect to remain In Southern California for three months.

Mr. Cocking la a past president of the 60ns of tit. George, which has a strong following In this city. He has sold his busineie Interests In Vancouver, and It la likely that when another winter rolls around be will be ready to ally himself with Riverside and Its Interests. MANY MILLIONS FOR AUSTRALIAN NAVY What Rear Admiral Henderson Advocates Asks for Fleet of 52 Ships.

MELBOURNE, March II. That Australia cannot afford to keep up a navy to protect lta coast Una la the chief feature of the report of Rear Admlral Hen derson, who was detailed to investigate the conditions of naval defenct of the country. He advises that tho commonwealth co operate with the British government on a population basis and that Australia have a fleet of fifty two warships. Including eight armored and ten protected cruisers, eighteen destroyere, twelve unmarinei; the whole to be manned by 10,000 men. The construction program to extend over a period of fifteen years la another feature edvorsted, with an expenditure of fifty two million pounds sterling, with a quarter of a million added every year for depreciation, so that the amount the government will be asked to expend Is seventy three million pounds sterling.

In addition thera la f.fteen million required for tho defence of the harbors. In carrying out the program twenty three ships would be isady In 1911 and forty eight In 12I. FODDER IN CHILEAN RED CLOVER SEED WASHINGTON. D. C.

March II. The United btatea department of agriculture has Issued the following warning: since July 1, twenty three lots of clover seed of probably Chilean origin aggregating 11,000 pounds have been linportod Into the Lotted biates. In all those shipments two kinds of dodder seed, characteristic of Chilean red clover seed, are present. At a normal rate of seeding, these ship ments are sufficient to seed approximately 41,000 acres, and at this rate of seeding an averege of approximately 40 dodder seeds would be sown en each square rod. Tho sowing of this Chilean seed thle spring means that the clover crop on a considerable pro portion of the area on which It la seed ed win pe aestroyeu by aoaaer, ana farmers should be on their guard agalnu purchasing thle aeed.

fVi fortunately most of these Importations have gone Into the southera part of the clover producing region where this dodder will undoubtedly prove disastrous. This Chilean clover seed Is Itself especially floe looking seed, being dark colored and approximately fifty per cent larger In also than ordinary red clover eeed produced In the L'nlted Mlatea. It will, therefore, doubtless receive a ready sale oa account of Its fine appearance. NP)W OH4NUK MASTER MITIt PALLH. March 14, Col.
