REBELS HOLD MANY TOWNS.
Passengers Report More Fighting Be.
tween Insurgents and Troops.

El Paso. Tex, Dec. 1.-Passengers
arriving here today direct from Ma
dera, Chihuahua, on the first train that
declared every town along the line OF
the Chihuahua and Pacific Railroad be-
tween Chihuahua and MADEIRA except
one, was held by insurgents and that
there has been considerable fighting in
the mountains and many wounded fed
eral troops had been brought into the
towns. Travellers said government SOL
diers had taken Guerrero, Chihuahua,
but that another band of insurrectos
was marching against the town.
The following dispatch dated yester-
day was received today from The As
ISOLATED Press staff correspondent at
Chihuahua City:
"A serious clash at Padernalles, so
miles west of here took place yester-
day between $50 government troops
and somewhat larger body of insur-
rectos. The soldiers are said to have
been fired upon from roofs and VIM
dows while marching through the
streets of the town.
Passengers arriving by train to-
night declare that those of the gov
eminent force who were not killed or
wounded were taken prisoners. Those
rumors are also current among the
soldiers at the barracks, but General
Plata, in command of the military
zone, stated that his report showed
nine government soldiers killed and
that 81 insurgents were slain"

THE MESSAGE.

eral of the big bills ready for the first
week.
The river and harbor committee of the
House began work yesterday on its $50,
100000 appropriation bill and Rep. Alex
ander of New/York, it's chairman, eX-
poets to have the measure ready within
a week.
The Indian affairs committee began
consideration of the Indian appropriation
bill today. This measure will carry about
100000 for the support of Indians and
their institutions. Chairman Burke ex-
poets to have it ready Monday.
Many of the separate appropriation bills
originate with the appropriations COM
mittee of which Rep. Tawney is chair
man. subcommittee of that body are
now at work upon the bill which carries
funds for the executive, legislative and
judicial branches of the government; and
the measure providing funds for the Dis
trict of Columbia. Both of these will be
ready before the Christmas recess.
The unusual activity upon the appro-
priation bills is due to the desire to have
them before the House as early as pos
sible. so that there will be ample time
for their consideration. The rules of the
House have been so changed during this
Congress that appropriation bills cannot
be given as speedy consideration as in
the past. 1t is thought the Indian bill
will have passed the House before the
Christmas adjournment, and that one or
two other appropriation measures will be
under consideration by that time.

Surplus Of Nearly $1,000, 000-Noven-

Washington, Dec. November was
a highly favorable month for the fin
ances of the United States treasury.
1t produced a surplus on all accounts
of nearly $1,000,000. where October had
produced a deficit of more than $4,000

SS6,600,000 in the general fund, an i'm
provement of a round $2,000.000 in the
cash available for immediate opera
TONS This condition would seem to
justify Secretary MacVeagh's conf
dence in the treasury's ability to main
tain itself for the present without new
financing.
If the drain of Panama canal opera
tions. amounting to S3,000.00O for the
month which We're not intended as a
charge on the treasury, could be elimi-
mated from the calculation, November
would show a surplus of more than
100000 over all expenditures. Pro-
nounced cuts in the governments ex-
penses and a gain of S3.000.000 in the
receipts over last month, are partly
responsible for the showing. Customs,
internal revenue and other revenue
sources made decided gains and
brought the months total up to $58,-
100000. A decrease of $2.000.000 in the
civil expenditures. 100000 in the
army. $3,000,000 in the navy and other
items brought the expenditures of No
vember down to $54 100000, some $4,-
0O0 000 than fha
AS compared with this date last year
receipts are $14,000,0O0 higher and ex-
penditures are $5.O0O,00O lower The
result of all this is that the total de-
ficit for this fiscal year to date is $780,
100000 as against $44,000,00O this time

The general condition of the treas
