FEDERALS' BULLETS
The Steel Jacketed Missiles
Make Wounds More
Easily Treated.

Bisbee, Ariz., April 25.-Dr F. E.
Shine, chief surgeon Of the Ell Paso &
Southwestern, with headquarters at
Bisbee, who was in charge of the field
work Of the Red Cross following the
battle of Aqua Prieta, is an enthusiast
tic convert TO the universal use in
warfare of the steel jacketed bullets
used by the federals in that battle.
He says that while the rebels can
hardly be blamed for using soft-nosed
bullets. having to take whatever kind
they could get, they are inhuman and
civilization should not tolerate their
use.
As an instance of the Clean work
of the steel jacketed bullets, the man
Crow. who was shot by stray bullet
during the attack OH Aqua Prieta, has
already recovered, although the bullet
pierced the liver. The ball made a
small clean hole, a wound that a sur
gicaI enthusiast would call pretty"
On the other hand the doctor says,
the soft-2osed bullets made wound
in which the fist can be thrust.

SIGHTS OF CITY
ATTRACT REBELS

Insurrectos, high hated and sandal
clad, are to be seen on the streets in
crowds today. They rubbered at the
alligators, flattened their noses against
the shop windows and strained their
necks looking at the tall buildings.
For many of them it was their first
glimpse Of a live, American town, and
they were making the most of it.
Many Of the insurrectos are quitting
the camp for good, while others are
coming TO town for a few supplies and
a sightseeing trip. Those that are
quitting have been employed by the
labor agencies for employment on the
railroads of the southwest
Should the insurrecto army disband
at its present location it is expected
that the town will be overrun with
the rebels who will come Immediately
to the American side. Among them
are many renegades of both countries
and the police are anticipating consid-
cradle trouble at the disarmament, al
though there has been practically no
lawlessness since the insurrectos have
been eneamped across from the smell

Mexico North Western railroad from
the suburbs of Chihuahua to its ter

control of the revolutionists and is
operated by them 1t is also under

no. federal troops are moved over It.
A list of the districts, corresponding
to counties. over which Abram Con

from the United States border almost
to Torreon.
In that territory, Chinipas. the capt.

ments. However, the authorities took
another view of the case and arrested
him.
His brother, Gen. Preyra, was promi-
nently identified with the government
before his retirement several years ago,
and it is said that he is still a staunch
supporter Of the present. government

reason of what vital fundamental differ

the Honorable Albert B. Cummins that he

has been greeted with one OF the loudest
and most prolonged outbursts OF silence in

and valleys Of Iowa politics in many a

Cummins' natural preferences incline him

point OF view, but they can hardly blame
him for selecting the leader with whose

they are politicians. II the standpatters

BROOKLYN. n. Y, Sept e.-To the
Editor Of The Bee. Last Tuesday morning
I returned from Portland, Ne. by the ocean
steamer the North Star TO New York City
and am now at the residence Of my
daughter, greatly improved in health after
a delightful visit in Maine among my early
friends
1 was pleased when I saw the dispatch
from Omaha that the republican party has
reaffirmed its faith in President Taft and
that you had again led the party in Ne
braska along that line. The principal thing,
politically, with the republican party lie
that our nominees are men Of sincere pur-
pose, outspoken and faithful to the prom
ises and declarations Of the party, and not
insincere. The trouble has not been with
the principles of the party. but with the
individuals who have held office under its
sanction and election, so that now the
mind has been renovated in that respect
and we are nominating sincere and faith
full men, we have accomplished all neces-
sary purpose, and the progressive has no
further cause TO complain of his party
And so far as am able to see, President
Taft stands at the forefront of the world S
thought it's highest desires its best pur-
poses and is leading the republican party
in accord with its ancient traditions and
principles with a wide and strong common
sense which is justified in asking the con-
fidence OF the entire party, which he so
Justly and conspicuously leads to the honor
and glory of the great republic.
On the steamer 1 became acquainted with
Chief Justice Russell Of the criminal courts
OF New York City, and he kindly urged me
to call on him. This I did yesterday, and
the Times mentions today that sat with
him. AS one who has acted quite a part
in the judicial matters Of Iowa and Ne
braska, have a feeling that I would like
to have my friends know where 1 am ard
what I am doing at times.
