FEDERALS RECOVER
LOST TERRITORY
Mexican InsurrectOs Driven
Back Into Mountains.

Ely PaSo, Tex, Jan. 3.-With the rebels
disorganized and working only in small
bands throughout Western Chihuahua
and Eastern Sonora, the war is now re-
solving itself into sort of give-and-
take game. Reports to-day bring the fresh
information of the capture Of Batopilas
by the federals from the rebels and the
repulse at Casas Grandes of the rebels
by the federals, who attacked the place.
Both these towns are in Chihuahua.
From La Trinidad, Sonora, comes the
verified report that the rebels have cap
tured the mining camps of Ocampo and
La Republica, and from Torreon comes
the report of the looting by rebels of the
Malayo ranch in the Matamoras munic-
ipality and the San Ramon ranch in the
Lerdo municipality. Chihuahua reports
only an occasional brush west of there
with the rebels. but no serious fighting.
The last fight of any consequence was
last Wednesday, after Gen. Luque had
forced Nal Paso and encountered a band
of rebels between there and Pedernales,
where he Joined Navarro. In the fighting
about 100 were killed and wounded. Some
reports have it that only seventeen
wounded have been brought in. and six
dead were buried by the federals.
Batopilas, the town which the federals
have retaken from the insurrectos, is the
location of the famous Shepherd mines.
discovered and developed by the late
Gov. Shepherd. of Washington. D. c..
and still controlled by his sens. They are
the richest silver mines in Mexico.

CANADIAN CABINET
MEMBERS COMING
Various Missions Bring Men
to Washington.

Ottawa, Jan. 3.-Six members Of the
Canadian cabinet are to be in Washing
ton this week Their missions vary, and
it is altogether likely that while two
members Of the cabinet are authorized
to participate in the reciprocity negotia-
tions, the others will probably be fully
informed as the progress of the negotia-
tions, and their advice will be sought and
acted upon by the members Of the cabinet
who are directly concerned therein.
The members CT the cabinet who are
authorized to resume the reciprocity ne
gotiations are Mr.. Paterson, minister of
customs. and Mr.. Fielding, minister of
finance.
The other ministers who are going to
Washington are Mr.. Brodeur. minister of
marine and fisheries; Sir A. B. Aylesworth.
minister of Justice: George P. Graham.
minister of railways. and w. NJ. King,
minister of labor.
Messrs Aylesworth. Brodeur. Graham.
and King each has a mission ostensibly
of his own in connection with the inter-
national aspects Of his own department,
but 1t is generally recognized here that the
Importance OF the reciprocity negotiations
now being resumed furnishes a most valid
reason for the simultaneous presence Of
these men in Washington just as the
reciprocity negotiations are being re-
Sumed.
Mr.. Graham will meet the chairman OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission and
Judge Mabee, chairman Of the Canadian
railroad commission now in Washington,
while Mr.. Brodeur and Sir Aylesworth
will confer with Mr.. Bryce in connection
with the working details of the award of
The Hague tribunal in the North Atlantic
fisheries case. Mr.. King goes to address
the Civic Federation.

San Francisco. Jan. 3.-That there will

ent defects of the immigration and ex-

were the hosts Mr.. Keefe said:
las the immigration laws now exist.
1t IL an utter impossibility to keep un-
desirable aliens, especially Asiatics, out
Of the United States. Defects in the
Chinese exclusion law are responsible for
the coming into this country of Orientals
who are not entitled to land. Many
Chinese land in Canada after depositins
a $500 head tax. Canada gets the 500.
but in a great many instances the United
States gets the Chinese.
II am of the opinion that the immiEra-
ton authorities should be given the power
to decide the right Of Chinese or any
other alien seeking admission to the
United States to land.
"One solution of the present defect In
the exclusion laws would be to have the
law so amended as to permit Of only one
Interpretation.
II am strongly of the belief that the
exclusion laws will be so amended by
the next Congress as to satisfy the people
Of the Pacific Coast. I am also quite sure
that there will be q general change for
the better in all immigration laws by
Congress during the next session.
