WAR ON IN EARNEST
IN MEXICAN REPUBLIC
Revolutionlsts Are Making Roadway
Against Government and Are In
creasing In Numbers-Rebels
Now Number over 1000.

Chihuahua, Mexico, Dec. 23.--The de
feat of the government troop train
with it's three field pieces and five
hundred and fifty men, intensified the
war tension here. On top Of the drawn
battle of Cerre Pristo ten days ago 1t
is taken as confirmation OF declara-
tons that President Diaz for the first
time in his long tenure Of office con-
fronts real revolution.
The most ardent sympathizers with
the revolt, and they include most OF
the unofficial population, scarcely
hoped the insurgents would be able
to make more than one stand against
the disciplined soldiers OF the govern
ment
Official reports now double their
estimate of the number of insurrectos
in the field. Gerro Prieto was a
drawn fight; Nal Psso was a victory
for the rebels. The question now is,
how long General Navarro with the
main force OF federals, can hold out.
His force is reported surrounded in
the vicinity of Padernales and it is GER
tain that he is running short Of food
and ammunition. He Is said to have
reported here that he had been unable
to hold his advantage at NAL Paso and
had been twice repulsed. He had
been ordered to hold Nal Paso to
form a juncture with the soldiers OF
the troop train. He made desperate
attempt to do so, but failed.
His failure in this regard is attri-
buted to the remarkable augmentation
of the revolutionary numbers. Off

Dead Bodies Taken out--Twenty'
Two injured TO Hospital.


Philadelphia, Dec. 23.--With a crash
that could be heard for squares, three
walls of a burning leather factory at
Numbers 111i, 1116 and 11lS Bodine
street crumpled up like house OF
cards and buried Al iremen beneath
the blazing ruins.
Four dead bodies have been taken
from beneath the debris, % injured
firemen have been rescued and 1t was
estimated that IS more were still
under the mass of brick and mortar
Three of those still in the ruins have
been located and the rescuers were
able to talk to them, although they
could not reach them. These three
we're underneath the ruins at the
Third street end of the factory, which
extended straight through from Bodine
street where the fire was out and their
only danger was from suffocation or
death from their injuries.
The remainder of the missing men
under the ruins at the Bodine street
side and where the fire was still
blazing fiercely. adding this horror to
the danger that threatened the i'm.
prisoned men.
The north wall of the building, the
only one that did not go down in the
crash, was standing but swaying
dangerously over the heads of the
rescuers, who were working frantically
\ to release their comrades before it
should fall.
When the firemen arrived in re.
Spouse to the first alarm the fire had
gained considerable Roadway. Lad
ders were run up alongside the Bodine
street wall, the big tower ladder was
thrown into position and streams of
water were thrown into the interior
of the building. Another squad
gained an entrance at the Third street
end. Upon the roof of the building
Chief Baxter and several assistants
took their stand and from here Baxter
directed operations.
And then, without warning, the
crash came The Bodine street wall
collapsed first. 1t swayed for a
second and then toppled over, hurting
into the very center of the ruins a
flying cloud of bricks, burning timbers
and shrieking men. With the wall
came the ladders.
The tower truck was crushed and its
ladders bent over. Every man who
was on the ladders was thrown to the
ground. Most of them went into the
building to be buried under the
weight OF bricks that followed them.
Some of them, more fortunate than
their brothers. slipped from their
perches and dropped into the street,
to be knocked over by the scattering
portions of the wall that fell outward.
The men at the Third street end OF
the building stood aghast at the horror
OF what they had seen, and then came
