CHINESE LOAN HAS
 STRUCK A SNAG

Peking, November, e9.-Serious doubt that the projected loan of s50,0oo,o00 to China by an American financial syndi- cate will be finally concluded is expressed an Picking. Numerous difficulties have arisen. among them being the unwilling ness of China to accept foreign fi- nancial advisor Without such control, 1t is said, the promoters are unwilling 70 proceed.
 The present Is recognized as crucial period in the history of China. If bor- rowed millions are squandered any ca lamity will be possible even a revolution and the partition of the empire.
 Tho Chinese have never been more sensitive to foreign usupation of author ity than they are now and look upon the proposition to give the foreign financial group control of the currency reform to which the loan was to be devoted as a further encroachment upon their integri- ty of which the new senate and the par liamentary party is especially jealous.
 The opposition of the Chinese people, however, is not the only barrier to the consummation of the agreement. Euro rean banking groups who have been in- vited to partake with the Americans are not expected to agree to an American advisor to the sfChinese government.
 Furthern1pre, while the preliminary agresmesfts stipulated that the Americans were to retain control of the bond issue the British, French and Germans are ex pected to demand an equal participation requiring also that they become sigma tories to the final compact.
 If eventually successful the loan is not likely to take the form of an American enterprise much to the disappointment of the community.

 OUT OF BUSINESS Mexican Rebels Have Control of One Short Line ARMY WAITS FOR AID General Navarro Holds Ills Forces Idle Until Reinforcements Arrive
 Before He VIII Attack
 the Rebels
ARMY WAITS FOR AID

Chihuahua, Mex, November 29.-While the fnsnrreetos retreated following their skirmish with government troops at the gates of this city on Sunday. they gained their object, which was to prevent the government regaining control of the Mex ican and Northwestern railroad from this point to .Minaea. Since the attack on a train a week ago not a car has run over the line.
 The revoluttonsts are said to have their main force at Santa Isabel, about 9 miles west of here, and other forces at San Andreas and Guerrero, thus con- trolling the line.
 General Navarro returned to this city with his force to await endorsements.
 It is reported that insurrectos have been reinforced by bands from Parral. and that in all they number about 10oo They are said to have fortified a number of positions along the line.
 With this condition confronting him. there is nothing for General Navarro to do until his little army of 400 has been at least doubled It is understood here that endorsements have been ordered to proceed from the City of Mexico.
 There is no excitement here. It is ad- mitted the situation is serious, but the passifcation of the towns along the rail- road is confidently believed to be merely matter of time. If Sundays fight Is prophetic, as it probably is, lively fight ing in the mountains is prospective. In Sundays fighting both sides used steel- iacketed bullets, and all of the wounds in- f1icted were clean Three American phy sicians, Drs. Commons, I've and Shaw, as- sisted in dressing the wounds at the hos pital last night.
