City Of Mexico, Dec. 28.-The minis
ter of war says that a battle is now
progressing at Nal Paso. The govern
ment troops are attacking the rebels
from both sides, the troops under Col.
Cuellar advancing from Chihuahua, en-
gaging from one side, while Gen. Ma
varro, from Pedernales, is attacking
them from the other direction. The
minister Of war admitted that the
rebels are strongly entrenched but
said there was no doubt Of the out
come, the government being bound to
win Col Cuellar has 1900 men, and

1t is stated that Vice President Cor

His return to Mexico has been in

Many MeXicans are beginning to
talk of the possible intervention of the
United States because of the revOlu-
tionary trouble in northern Mexico.
Such action would be extremely un-
popular 1t is believed by the Amer
leans that there is no chance of the
United States interfering in any way,
but many Mexicans in the higher cir
cles are inclined to believe that such
action is possible.
1t would be difficult to obtain
early advices concerning the fighting
at Nal Paso for the reason that he

with San Antonio. Whatever may be
the outcome of the battle, information
of the result is not expected before
