GEN. REYES FA|LS ID SECURE RECRUITS Government Officials Hold His Rebellion in
 Contempt

Monterey, Mex, December O.-Gen. Bernardo Reyes failure to place himself at the head of even a small army of insurrectionists after six days in Mexico has caused government officials to regard somewhat contemptuously his effort to start a rebellion against the Madero ad- ministration. Since Reyes and his four loyal followers crossed the Rio Grande, he has traversed a large portion of that part of the state of Nuevo Leon, lying along the boundary line of the state of Tamaulipas, but, according to the reports received by Gen. Geronimo Trevino, com mander of the government troops in the north, he has failed completely to secure recruits So flat does his plan appear to the general to have fallen that he has entrusted his capture to a hundred men under Lieut.. Col. Manuel Garcia Lugo.
 Just where Reyes was today General Trevino does not know. Since crossing the border he has established no head

SOUTH POLAR CAP OF
 MARS DISAPPEARS

Flagstaff. Arizona, December 20.-Ob- seryations at the Lowell observatory have shown that the south polar cap of Mars, which had been melting slowly for months, has at last practically disap- peared. At the same time several glitter ing points appeared at about 10 degrees from where the old cap had been and showed the new south polar snow cap. A peculiarty of the Martian climate is that the fall cold does not begin at the axis, but at a different point. The date of the event corresponds to September 8 on earth. We are prevented from having similar phenomena here because of the extensive permanent ice about our poles thus preventing what theory shows should take place and which Mars actually ex- hibits, the faculty assert.

Each day men he has solicited report to Trevino his movements The latest report, consid- cred authentic at army headquarters, is that yesterday he was on the Caraeol ranch, not far from the Tamaulipas line. Friday night he spent at Veviadera ranch, near China, a town two days horseback ride from Galeana.
 Col. Garcia Lugo has placed his de- tachment along the line from point a short distance south of Linares, to a point not far from China, and the com manding officers believe within a week Reyes will fall into the hands of some of these men, since, according to General Trevino, there are no bands of insurrec- tionists near enough to come 10 the aid of the rebel leader. Col. Garcia Lugo's force is made up of state troops made up of men declared to bear personal enmity to the general.

After fifteen years in the major
leagues there is no indication that
those marvellous optics will ever grow
dim. Indeed Larry bids fair this sed-
