There wasn't much fighting, and the rebels secured 25 rifles and 750 rounds of 'ammunition from the soldiers. There were about 200 Americans in town, and we went up in the hills near by, where it was safe, but where we could see the scrap.

They sent a train of soldiers out from the city of Chihuahua. There were 100 infantrymen and 25 cavalry, and they detrained and marched to meet the rebels, who by that time had increased to 90 men. armed with the 25 Mausers and all manner of other arms. All but 30 of the rebels remained in the hills, and the 30 were driven into the town, with federals after them. The 30 expected their ments to come down from the hills.

But they come to the rescue, saying afterward that they expected more federals to come. After a little fighting from the town, the rebels took to the hills. At one stage in the fight three volleys were fired at about 60 feet, and nobody was hurt. any news in Chihuahua that we could learn.

Nogales, March from a trip of several days through tne rebel infested region of Sonora, Herald representative reached here today. Throughout Sonora both sides claim that they are going to win. The surrectos say they are growing stronger every day, while the govern- men men say that the insurrectos are not as strong as they were four weeks ago.

A number of different insurrec- i to bodies said they would lay down their arms if Diaz would resign and step out. Government men hearing this story said: will never In the states of Sonora, Sinaloa and Tepic. thousands of men were asked who they wanted to win, and at least 90 percent stated that they were for Madero. Nearly all of the Americans who own bfg mines in Mexico are for Diaz. The insurrectos are from all walks in life.

Some are the very poorest and some are among the richest men in Mexico. Not an American was seen with the insurrectos. Perhaps the finest and best educated insurrectos in Sonora are those led by Ramon Gomez. They are from the very best families in Sonora and Sinaloa. At a very low figure there are said to be at least 7000 armed insurrectos in the states of Sonora, Sinaloa and Tepic, and they are growing in strength every day.

One thing is sure, if the government rush more troops into these states, the tos will soon capture some of the large cities on the west coast. The insurrectos are busy burning bridges between Guaymas and Mazatlan. However the railroad has extra forces of men working day and night repairing and rebuilding the bridges. Gen. Gomez says the only way to keep soldiers out of that country is to destroy the railroad bridges.

Every passenger train from Mexico is crowded, mostly with women and children, who will remain in the states until after the trouble is over. The Americans who are hit hard on account of the revolution are the mining men, because most of them are forced to close and many men have lost their positions, while other mining men who were trying to finance their property here lost out completely. There was no part of Mexico that was developing so fast as the great west coast country. Many say that after the revolution it will develop faster than ever before. mounted inspector Champman of the United States customs service, was arrested several weeks ago by a detachment of insurrectos for looting a farm house near San Carlos.

He was given a trial and to death. While an attack on the customs guard house still in possession of the federals, was in progress, Alvarado pleaded to be permitted to die fighting. He was given a gun and took his place in the ri.fle pits. Within a half hour one insurrecto fell wounded and Alvarado, in an endeavor to drag the man within the rebel lines, was shot through the brain. FIGHT FEARED AT LAS VACAS, MEXICO Little Adobe Town Opposite Del Rio Is Being Fortified.

Del Rio. March soldiers of Los the little Mexican town opposite Del Rio. are busy fortifying against an attack from the in- surrectos, which Is expected within the next 10 days, if the mission of Limantour to the City of Mexico proves fruitless. Extra adobe walls are being erected in front of the doors of the more prominent houses and sacks of sand were being carried up from the river to complete the fortification. Los Vaeas ha? not suffered from the disorders since June, 1908, when 'ain attack was made upon the garrison early in the morning and about 40 soldiers and revolutionists were killed during the fight which lasted ifor several hours.

Sympathy is mostly for the revolutionists in Del Rio and Mexicans who go back and forth from here to the camps in the mountains report to their American friends that a general uprising will take southwest of this city at an early date. Mexico Sends 500 More Federal Troops to Ensenada. San Diego, March Mexican steamer Herrerias arriving today from Lower California brought news that 500 more Mexican troops are on the way to Ensenada, that United States destroyer Truxtun is patrolling the lower California coast and that the British sloop of war Shearwater is at Guaymas, Mexico.

TROOPS AT GALVESTON ARE READY' TO MOVE QUICKLY Galveston, March troops, transports and naval vessels assembled at Galveston could get away from here in an incredibly short time if necessary.

At Fort Crockett the 36 companies of coast artillery are being transferred into infantry organizations. At the docks the three transports are being equipped with supplies for all the soldiers they can carry. In the harbor the cruiser Salem and the gunboat Tacoma are preparing to fill their bunkerg to capacity. In spite of all these moves those highest in authority here say emphatically that they have no signal cance; that they are all a part of the plan to have the force in a state of preparedness for any service that may be required. Seven loaded cars marked arrived here late yesterday.

They are said to belong to these mysterious 10 cars that are supposed to have left Philadelphia loaded with ammunition. Lincoln, March Owen, of Oklahoma, in his speech at the Bryan birthday banquet eulogized Arizona and her constitution. He said in part may she live long and prosper. And her government will live long and her people will prosper, because they have built the foundation of a government upon a stone and not upon the sand have established a constitution providing for the rnle of the people through the initiative, the referendum, the recall. Under this rule, the people of Arizona can never be long dissatisfied their own government, because their government is in their own hands in such simple fashion that they can by the easiest process amend any error.

the initiative, the people of Arizona can, by petition, initiate any law they want and compel its sumbis- sion to the vote of the people and by a majority vote write that statute upon the statute books of Arizona, regardless of the legislature and regardless of any governor, who might veto an act of the legislature. He cannot veto any act of the sovereign ruling people of Arizona. stability this assures in giving to the people any law they really desire and really need, really care to have. How can men complain of the laws which they write themselves, free from corruption, intimidation, force of fraud? like manner by the referendum, the sovereign people of Arizona can, by petition suspend the operation of any unjust, undesired law passed by the Arizona legislature which might, perhaps in these days be subjected to the corrupt persuasion of special interests against the welfare of the people. By the referendum petition, the sovereign people of Arizona can submit to the vote of the people of Arizona, any such law passed by the legislature and put their veto upon it if they like.

stability of government does this assure when men can prevent the passage of law which they do not like and guarantee themselves by their own act, immunity from a statute to which they are not willing to yield obedience? it not obvious that, with the right to pass the laws they do want, the right to veto laws they do not want the people of Arizona have provided for themselves the most stable form of government possible? with the right of recall, what more is to be desired? When the public functionary who for any reason becomes unworthy, corrupt or inefficient, may be recalled it is not necessary to have proof sufficient to convict him of disloyalty or inefficiency. It is sufficient to provide by the recall for an early ending of his tenure in Between 1200 and 1300 followers of William Bryan attended the complimentary banquet tendered him by the Lincoln Bryan club. The dinner held in the Lincoln auditorium, began shortly after 7 oclock. The menu was unpretentious, served from a nearby hotel with not a suspicion of anything stronger than coffee.
