HERNANDEZ DENIES GRUELTIES
General Navarro Declares He
Did Not Order Execution
of 30 Civilians.

Chihuahua, Mex, Dec. "a special
train of box cars was quickly made
up here this afternoon and loaded
with a hundred soldiers and destined
for Juarez, across the river from Ell
Paso, Some other point is probably
the ultimate destination as Juarez is
quiet. General Hernandez said to-
day that General Navarros inactivi-
ty following Sundays battle is due to
General Hernandez orders that rein
forcements will be awaited before
pressing the Insurrectos further.
Small detachments of revolutionists
continue to arrive in the vicinity of
Cerro Preito and Rancho de Santa
go, making good the Insurrecto's s
claim that when the Federals again
attack, it will be against a thousand
men. Hernandez denied the story
that Navarro executed thirty anti-re-
electionists after Sundays battle.
The story was told however not only
among the revolutionists but in Ma
varro's own camp.

across the country. These troops
probably are the ones that left Chi
huahua ostensibly for Juarez, as

prisoned by fire in the Leyden coal
mine fourteen miles from Denver,
are still in the mine. According to J.
c. Roberts, government expert in

have a good chance of being found
alive if they remained where they
were working when the mine caught
fire. Five men equipped with oxygen
helmets are exploring the lower work

take and rescue the men through the
worst of the gas.

along the lines of Improvements and
new devices for making talk over

become baritones and other tenors
sopranos; why certain singers who

understood on the phone, Mr.. Hamlin
said that he had not given the sub
