BATTLE PENDING IN MEXICO
Insurrectos Are Concentrating Forces
Near Cerro Prieto.
CENSORSHIP IS MADE MORE STRICT
Associated Press Dispatch Telling of

to JuareR.
From the Baltimore American.

CHIHUAHUA, Mexico, Dec. N-(DelayedD
"A special train OF box cars was quickly
made up here this afternoon to accom-
modate 100 soldiers destined for Juarez
just across the Texas line from El Paso
Some other city in Chihuahua, probably is
their ultimate destination, as Juarez Is
quiet
General Hernandez in an interview today
stated that General Navarro's inactivity
following the battle of Cerro Prieto last
Sunday was due to his (Iernandez)
orders that reinforcements be awaited
before pressing the insurrectos further.
Advices from Pedernales tonight state
that small detachments of revolutionists
continue to arrive I'm the vicinity of Cerro
Prieto and RanchJ Santiago, making good
the insurrecto boast that when the federals
again attack II will be against 1000 men.
Navarro himself expects that the next
engagement will be more serious than that
of last Sunday General Hernandez denied
the story that Navarro executed thirty
wounded anti-re-electionists after Sundays S
battle. The story was told, however not
only among the revolutionists, but in
Navarro's own camp.
The reinforcements destined for Cerro
Prieto arrived here today They numbered
$50. General Hernandez stated that the
disaffected district would be flooded with
soldiers, and that he intended to place
guards along the railroad, so that he could
use 1t in forwarding troops Since the
attack on she train at San Andres a
month ago no attempt has been made to
use the line for military purposes, as the
insurrectOs threatened In such case to
blow up the bridges.
The censorship frightened here Monday
The Associated Press disaptches sent from
Pedernales that night and telling Of sun
days battle reached Chihuahua over the
railroad telegraph and was delivered TO
the federal line, but II fell into federal
hands and thereafter never saw the light
again. 1t offended, presumably in placing
the insun ecto loss at nineteen, whereas
the official report says eighty. The federal
loss Is said to be considerable.
There was no fighting today, although
the revolutionists predicted an early at
tack by the federals. II Navarro continues
to await reinforcements and the insur-
rectos do not themselves attack. It will
be several days before an engagement is
fought.

the trip over the ice says:

During this time, from the early DAYS of

centered about the idea of the pole. Then,
to bewilder one, to set one laughing with
silly amusement or to fill one with a sense
of awe, there early began a procession of
miIages and optical illusions. The mental

times these exaggerated transformations

lures ordinary, 4O7,1 ga yen; extraordi-
nary, 1881 .6s9 yen A yen is equivalent
to about so cents in American money.
Marquis Katsura, premier and minister
of finance, takes a hopeful view OF the
financial situation, He says that the af-
fairs OF the current year and the finan-
cial program have worked we'll This
program will be continued. During the
last year the government has had a par
ticularly heavy burden 10 carry. The navy
has called for an increased expenditure in
order to avoid the criticism OF neglect in
the face Of the advances made by other
powers. The annexation OF Korea and
disastrous floods have added materially
to the extraordinary expenses.
Marquis Katsura lays down these two
rules as effective in directing the policy
OF the government:
VIII Avoid Loans.
First TO maintain the balance OF revenue
and expenditure in the general estimates,
and not to look to loans as financial re-
Second, to maintain the program Of an
nual redemption of the public debt by an
amount of 100000 yen or more.
He saws the government has committed
itself to these principles. In the next six
years s., 900 yen will be spent in supple
menting and improving the navy Fifteen
millions is appropriated for the next fiscal
year. The minister says that the "conspic-
uous innovations adopted by other powers
In the types Of their warships has made it
necessary for Japan to somewhat increase
its naval expenditure, not because OF any
change arising from differences with other
countries, but because the navy of Japan,
while not endeavoring to compete with or
surpass those Of other nations must be
kept up to a modern standard. incidentally
the minister states that Japans relations
with other governments are most amicabls.
Money for Railways.
Next years estimate for railways is
nearly 100000 yen. This amount is re-
quired the premier says, because Of the
determination Of the government to i'm
prove the railway system. Commencing
next year, the reconstruction OF the main
line into a broad guage road will be un-
dertaken. A loan for this purpose probably
will be raised, but II will be in the nature
Of a special account for which the railways
will be made responsible. The time and
place Of raising this loan will depend wholly
upon economic conditions at home and
abroad

MENDOZA IN SOURCE
OF ORE DEPOSITS
Cuts Vertical FiSSure Through
Which Great Flat Veins
Are Fed.

A strike in the Mendha mine, near
Phoebe. which is regarded as the most
important development ever made in
that faithful producer. is reported by
George II. Coke, manager Of the
Phoebe Golden Prince company, who
arrived in the city yesterday from
camp.
Tn the lowest level Of the mine OF a
vertical fissure. six feet wide. the ore
in which is said TO average better than
500 a ton I'm gold silver. lead and
copper. The fissure was encountered
when following the nearly flat vein
which has FOR long time been yield
ing the ore which the mine has pro-
duced.
The new fissurc is near the great
the source Of the extensive orc deposit
ton in the property and toward which
development Of the ore bodies has been
directed. I'm the belief that the big
mine would be found in that region.
The latest discovery confirms the
theory upon which operations have
been conducted. The vertical fissure
Is believed without question TO be the
avenue through which solutions have
assembled from great depth 10 feed the
flat veins. which are themselves pro-
life producers.
The ore which the mine has been
shipping has averaged around $50 and
$40 ton. The new strike is I'M
portant. therefore. not only on ac-
count OF its proving that the source
OF the ore is deep seated. but on ac-
or the ore toward its source. II ap-
pears to prove beyond question that
one.
