.FEDERALSCAPTURED
Mexican Rebels Force Surrender
Of NaVarrO's Command.
Further Revolts Are Feared as Re-
sult-Government Rushes Troops
to Scene of Hostilities.

Mexico City-General Navarro has
surrendered to the rebels, according to
report that has reached here from
authorities which have heretofore
proved reliable in the matter of war
news.
The government denies the report
and says that he is awaiting reinforce
ments. Officials say Pedernales is not
menaced seriously by the rebels.
1t is known from other sources that
Navarro has been having hard time.
His men are not used to the severe
winter climate of Chihuahua. They
are not properly clothed and are short
of food and ammunition. 1t is consid-
cred here that if Navarro has not sur
rendered, he is liable to do SO at any
time.
Another report says that Navarro
has not surrendered, but has deserted
with his men to the rebels. This is
not believd.
The government now acknowledges
that the situation is very serious. All
available troops are being sent north
as fast as possible to assist Navarro.
Three hundred prisoners were taken
from the Belan prison and drafted into
the army. A considerable portion of
the army at present is made up of
prisoners.
In all the battles that have occurred
so far, it seems that the rebels have
been shooting particularly at officers.
The percentage of these wounded or
killed is very large. At the battle of
Nal Paso, the rebels, who were en-
trenched on mountains forming the
side of canyon, rolled immense boul-
ders down on the troops. These did
more damage than the shooting.
The serious condition of affairs in
the North is the principal topic of con-
versation here. There is much specu-
lation as to the outcome. 1t is expect
ed that the reverses suffered by the
government recently will lead to other
uprisings throughout the republic as
soon as they become known.

German Birth Rate Lays.

Berlin.-As a result of computations
recently completed, it is found that the
birth rate in Germany is decreasing.
Sociologists are anxiouslv drawing at
tention to the menace of race suicide.
Last years birth rate for every 1000
of population throughout the empire
was only 33. as against Sc for the de-
cade ending in 1890. and 70 per 1000
in 1875. The decline is attributed
partly to the increasing reluctance of
persons, especially in cities,
to accept the burden of raising large
families

His son, Baptiste Charboneau, was
being educated at St. Louis by Cap
tain Clark, who was then superintend-
ent of Indian affairs at ST. Louis.
Captain Clark died in 1888. In 1887 a
steamboat belonging to the American
Fur Co. communicated the smallpox TO
the inhabitants on the Mandan viii
lagos, the Mandans numbering about
l,6OO, and the eros Ventres about
1000. Some of the eros VenIres were
away from the village and escaped.
The Mandans were almost wholly de-
stroyed, only about thirty lodges, or
about 125 people remaining 1t is prob
able that Charboneau was with the
eros Ventres, who were absent from
the villages, and that he returned to
the home Of her people after the small
pox scourge, which was carried to the
Sioux and other Indian tribes on the
Missouri river, some 1900 of the sew
eral tribes dying before the disease
had run it's course. In 1856 the eros
Ventres and Mandans occupied nine
villages about the mouth of the Heart
