TALK PEACE BUT
TROOPS ARE BUSY
Soldiers Go Into Action While
Diaz' Commission Confers
with RevoIutionistS

CHIHUAHUA CITY, Mexico. Dec. 3.
while the peace commissioners were
comforting with the revolutionists
along the railroad line today, 300
troops under General Navarro left here
for the purpose of subduing the insur-
rectionists in the mountains adjacent.
Reinforcements have arrived here
from the City Of Mexico to garrison
this city.
The commission telegraphed today
from San Isidro that the members
would proceed to Guerrero to treat
with revolutionist bodies there.
Unconfirmed reports have been re-
ceived here that Guerrero had been
attacked today.
The departure of troops on the heels
of the commission is believed to indi-
cate that that body carries a mes
sage more in the nature of an ultima
tum than an olive branch. 1t is be-
lieved here that the proceedings would
develop a battle here by Monday or
Tuesday.
The defeat of detachment of gov
ernment troops at Pedernale3 Tues
day is admitted by those In authority
here. The government is without de-
tails of the fight, however, and re-
ports brought in by passengers from
the west contradict each other to a
great degree.
According to the most consistent in
formation, the government troops who
met defeat were band of 150 who
left the train at San Andreas Novem-
ber %, when the coaches were at
tackled by revolutionists.
HUNGER FORCES BATTLE
They escaped at that time and up to
last Tuesday had been moving west,
gaining food and water in precarious
fashion. Hunger. it is said, drove them
to PadernaleS. The insurrectos were
known to be. The revolutionists by
long range fire drew them close to the
village, where the former attacked in
force, firing from roofs and windows.
The two officers at their head were
killed and a number of soldiers re-
ported anywhere from nine to twenty
were slain. Several prisoners were cap
tured and are said to have followed,the
Latin American custom of Joining the
enemy.
False alarms of fighting within easy
riding distance of here have, been fire.
quent, creating among foreigners a
feeling Of pleasurable excitement rather
than alarm.
An example occurred today A fac
tory superintendent on the outskirts of
the town telephoned that he had seen
forty insurgents moving around dis
tant hill. Two shots, possibly signals,
he said had been heard and a detach-
Inent Of soldiers were on their way out
to meet the enemy. 1t was the lunch
hour and most people waited to COM
p1ete the meal before starting for the
scene. Automobiles and cabs were
called into requisition and large num-
ber of persons took the five-mile trip.

ASSOCIATED Press,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The popu-
lation of the United States should be
91,193, 400, If the rate of increase shown
by states on which complete returns
have been received and tabulated by
the census officers is maintained.
Counting New Mexico and Arizona
for present purposes as states, the full
returns of the enumeration have been
tabulated for SO out of the 49 and the
District of Columbia. They show
grand total of 66.355178, as against 3D.
299, ,636 for the same area in 1900.
This is a gain of 20 per cent over the
759g4.675 indicated by the census OF
1900.
A corresponding increase for the six
teen remaining states would bring the
figure for the entire country up to the
number stated.
The states not yet announced are
Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louis
lana, Mississippi, Montana, New Jer-
sey, North Dakota, North Carolina,
South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas,
Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wy
oming.
OF these 1t is expected that Texas
and Washington will show very large
increase Georgia, New Jersey, Mon
tana, Utah, wyoming and the Dakotas
will go beyond the average, SO that
there is little doubt that the exact
grand total will be even more than
the present tabulation indicates. 1t
would not be surprising II the aggre-
gate would be almost 91,50e,000, which
is a million and half more than has
been generally estimated.
The aggregate increase in the SS
grand divisions accounted for is IL 1,055,-
542. Oklahoma, with 1897 per cent,
and Idaho, with 1913 per cent. are the
only states whose increase have run
over 100 per cent, and Iowa is the only
state which has shown decrease. :.

Green. John Craig. jr., and several
boy friends were on the deck of the
General Hubbard. with some of the
shipyard foremen when the ship was
launched.
CRAIG DIRECTS WORKERS
Shortly, after o'clock the work of
preparing for the launching began.
Thirty workmen under the ship swung
their axes in unison, knocking away
the blocks and props, under the per-
sonal supervision of General Manager
Craig, who, attired in a gray working
suit and sweater vest, mingled with
the workmen and personally saw to it
that every detail was properly attend-
ed to. The shipbuilder's face was pale
and his eyes shone, while his face did
not relax into happy smile until the
launching was over. The command to
knock out the keel blocks was given
at 9:39 o'clock, and two minutes later
Mr. Craig waved his hat, his signal
ing to the man at each end of the
vessel to chop in two the cables. With
one blow each of the workmen severed
the cable before him, the trips were
released and the ship glided down the
ways. The ship entered the water
sideways, as is customary.
The General Hubbard will be ready
for service in about four weeks. Her
engines, built at the ship plant, were
installed some weeks ago. Otherwise
the ship is almost ready to travel Her
hull is painted red below the waterline
and black above it.
The deck has been given the usual
biturine treatment. The lifeboats are
in position and the name of the vessel
is on the prov in big golden letters.
VESSEL COSTS ss25.OOO
The contract cost of the General
Hubbard was $225,00 The steamship
is 266 feet long. Her beam, is 40 feet.
She is equipped with 1500-horse
power triple expansion engine and will
have a speed OF 1919 knots an hour.
The ships draught is 1955 feet. The

LONG BEACH, Dec. 3.-The first
steel steamship built on the Southern
California coast was successfully
launched this morning, and the Craig
Shipbuilding company, as a Long
Beach institution, added its first Dig
craft to Pacific coast commerce., while
whistles shrieked and 10000 people
yelled and clapped their hands. John
F. Craig, general manager of the
Craig Shipbuilding company, and A.
B. Hammond president of the Ham
mond Lumber company OF san FRAN
cisco, owners of the vessel. agreed
that the launching of the Gen. Hub
bard could not have been more satis-
factory.
Miss Ruth Craig, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. John f. Craig, christened the
ship, swinging against its PROV a
bottle of champagne half hidden In
and suspended by intertwined red,
white and blue ribbons. 1t was ru-
mored that the bottle did not preaK
when it crashed against the steel ship,
but Mrs. Craig and others on the plat
form say that report is mistake ana
that they heard and saw the bottle
break.

said Miss Craig, and almost at that
instant the General Hubbard glided
off the ways into the water. The ship

The advent of the ship into the
water eaused a series of waves which
caused havoc among the two score
little craft in the water nearby. The
rowboats, sailboats and Launches, Doth

and rocked threateningly, while those
aboard scrambled wildly and grasped

drenched from head to foot and was
about to fall overheard headlong when
rescued by John Bye, an employe on
the improvised ferry line.
Immediately after the launching John

WAR MINISTER DENIES THAT
GOVERNMENT SEEKS PEACE

MEXICO CITY, Dec. S.-Gen. Man
uel Gonzales Cosio. minister of war,
today denied knowledge of the ap-
pointment of q commission named by
President Diaz to treat with the revo-
lutionists at San .Isidro. as stated in
a dispatch from Chihuahua.
General Cosio said: "I have no
knowledge that any commission has
been named of the nature mentioned
in the dispatch, and much less that it
has been sent to confer with the rebels
under a flag of truce, treating them as
though they were belligerents. This
would be attributing to them an inn
portance which they absolutely do not
possess.
"On the contrary. the measures
which have been taken contemplate
the exercise of all the force necessary
effectually to put down the revolution.
orders have been given for the send
ing against them of forces, but from
what point, their number and destina-
tion, of course, cannot be revealed"

Measure Will Be Taken Up in

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-"I have

pass the ocean mail bill by decisive
majority" said Senator Gallinger of
New Hampshire today.
The Gatlinger bill, providing mail
subsidy, is before the senate as un-
finished business, and will come up i'm
mediately on the convening of con-
gress. "There will be no effort to push
the measure before the holiday recess" "
said the senator. after the reas-
sembling of congress in January it will
be taken up.
"The present bill is identical with
the one passed by the senate March 20,
1908, and which failed in the house by
three votes. Every argument that was
used in favor of the bill in 1908 Is
valid now"
