Numerous papers and documents were

Colonel Rangel today admitted that
he a participated in 4 battle last

posed revolution.
Thomas Sarabia is the editor of II

showed that the plan of the revolution
lists has progressed to the point where
the actual invasion of Mexico was un-

showed hat every effort was being
made to rush the work to completion
in order to be ready to start operations
on the Mexican side of the Rio GrandcI
sometime during October and Ger
tainly during this year.
AT the time these plans were discov-
cred by the Officers, it was agreed that
five separate armies should cross the

points along the Texas border and one
was to be moved ahead of the rest to-
cause a concentration of Mexican

President Taft'S Investigator
Prepares Report on Alleged
Discrimination Against Amer
lean Commerce on lSthmuS,


Baltimore. Md. Aug. il.-Bcrn lrd
\. Baker OF his city, who has at the
instance Of President TAFT been in
V~cstiGating the matter Of freight rates
wei the Panama railroad, has pre-
pared his report to the president,
bearing on alleged DETERMINATIONS OF
the Panama railroad and Panama
Steamship company against American
commerce crossing the isthmus.
Mr., Baker recommends the govern
ment to encourage the establishment
of an Independent line or lines OF
steamers on each coast which shall
connect with the Panama railroad.
The plan proposed is comprehen-
stve and does not, as has been
urged, contemplate that the govern
ment shall enter the steamship bust
ness. 1t simply provides that by
means of postal contracts one line
of new ana up-to-date steamers shall
be established on the west coast, con-
Meeting Seattle. Portland. san Fran
cisco and San Diego with Panama ana
on the cast connecting New York and
New orleans with Colon.
These two lines would. Of curse.
use the Panama railroad for trans
shipments and Mr.. Baker urges thai
the government establish a flat rat
across the isthmus for an shipments
whatever their origin.
