San Antonio. Tex, Feb. 10.-Offi- cial government adyices received here this morning are to the effect that the Mexican federal troops have suf- fered severe defeat at Mulato. where a battle ragged for tairty-six hours.
 According to this message the rebel forces lost but two men. while the federal losses are described as num- erous and many of the dead soldiers were left lying on the field notwith- standing the federals outnumbered the rebels. Officers here who are familiar with that section of Mexico believe the federals were caught in pocket and hemmed in by the enemy. At last ac- counts the Mexican troops were re- treating rapidly.
 Presidio, Tex, is the nearest Amer ican town to Mulato. Advices were received by way of that place. The dispatches are vague. but it is be- iieyed they refer to a continuation or the fight reported Wednesday,

PURNELL CASE
 IS UNDECIDED
GIVEN TO THE JURY LATE IN AFTERNOON, AND JUDGE
 LEAVES FOR BENTON.
Masterly Arguments in Behalf of the State and Defense Are listened to by a Crowded Court
 room.

The fate of Jack Purnell. who shot and killed Carroll w Turner in this city on August II, is now in the hands of jury at Malvern, where the case was tried on change of venue from this county.
 At ' o'clock last night, after a day devoted to the most brilliant and masterly argument that probably has ever been resultant from he trial of one case, Judge Evans gave tae jury the instructions, and announced that he would leave immediately for his home in Benton.
 If the jury reached verdict by this morning the sheriff had instructions to notify Judge Evans by telephone, and he would come and receive it.
 A few hours after the iury retired there was report that 1t had reached It's conclusion, and written it's yer dict, but this was only report, and could not be verified.
 1t is the general impression in Mall vern that Purnell will either be ac- quilted of the charge. or that the trial will result in hung jury and no de- cision.
 Prosecuting Attorney Wood. Col. George w. Murphy, and Attorneys A. J. Murphy and R. E. l.. Maxey re- turned on late train last night. Their work had been finished.
 Tae large court room at Malvern was crowded when the arguments were begun at the morning session. Judge Wood opened for the state, and he outlined the evidence. applied It strictly to the law, and urged ~sF- dict in keeping #ith the tenor of the indictment, which charges first degree murder. He talked for about two hours, and his address was masterly one.
 John Ross, of the law firm of Ross and Means, opened for the defense, and talked for about an hour to kis fellow citizens on the case. making strong plea for the acoused.
 Colonel George w. Murphy then took up the cause of the defense. and talked for three hours ana twenty minutes. He delineated the case from the first meeting of Turner and Pur- nell until the night Of .ae tragedy, and his speech was pronounced mass tenpiece ill the career of a man famous for brilliance before the crim~ inal bar. Strong men were swayed into emotionalism through his impress siye pictures. as he paralleled the trials of human endeayor in the lives of other men with the case at bar
 In the close of the case Judge Wood again entered into the spirit of the prosecution with his characteristic yigor, but did not remain steadfast to the call for first degree murder yer dict. urging that still in his opinion of the case 1t was cold and calculated murder, but that the law gave to tho jury the authority to lessen the form of punishment if, in its opinion, tle exacting Of the life of Purnell was not neoessltated by the evidence.

Juarez Expects Federal Leader to Re- lieve Town--Orozco Blows up Railway Bridges in His
 Path.

El Paso, Tex, Feb 1.-The Jefe Poltieo, or mayor of Juarez, said to- day he expects General Navarro to en- ter the town across the river tomor- row.
 He has issued orders that prepara- tions be made for a public demon stration.
 Aside from the mayors statement there is nothing to confirm the re- port. Navarro is believed by the in- surgents to be proceeding by train They blew up bridge on the Mex ican Central Railroad eight miles south of Juarez last night. If Orozco intends to contest the road, which is believed to be improbable. the fight probably would occur near the wreck med bridge.
 Members of the junta today were not permitted to state that Orozco was in position to fight.
 Provisional Secretary of State Her nandez said Orozco brought 3S7 men with him to Juarez, and that during the last week he had admitted a hun dred armed recruits. Many others of fered themselves, he said, but as they brought no rifles they were denied en- listment.
 
 He added that General Manuel Cas- sillas who arrived Thursday, brought only sixty men.
 He came north to Kern to take part in the council of war held yesterday in which a board of strategy was ap- pointed Orozco and the other leaders are subject to the orders of the board according to the agreement signed.
 Casillas and GastuIa Herrera, the latter on recruiting duty, visited in- surrecto quarters today. Cassillas said his attack on Galanea week ago was a surprise to the federals. who were of about his own numbers. He claimed to have taken seventy pris-
  oners there with little bloodshed. Gen. eral Blanco, he said, with 400 men, joined him there, but later returned to Casas Grandes to replenlsh his am- muniticn supply. He expressed the opinion, without affirming it, that the nonarriyal of the ammunition was d ot tofntno Ilfoono
 The usual reports of heavy fighting with Navarro we're current today with shadow of confirmation
 Nine insurrectos who were wound ed in the fight in Molina, January 2S and who made their way across the Rio Grande, were brought to Fl Paso today by friends.
 It was stated also that fifteen had been brought to Juarez. Further ia formation was not available on this point, but from the coincidence Of their arrival with that of the insur- recto wounded, it is thought that they too came from Molina.

CANNON OPPPSED
 TO RECIPROCITY
ILLINOIS SENATOR MAKES PU.- Llc A COMM MuNicAToN FROM
 THE SPEAKER.
Says He Expects to See a Hard Fight Against Reciprocal Agreement
 With Canada.

Springfield, H., Feb. l1.-Senator Bailey, of Danville, made public to- night letter from Speaker Joseph |G. Cannon, in waich the speaker strongly opposed reciprocity with Canada. MT. Cannon's followers in the Legislature, according to the Danville senator, will put up hard fight on the floor when the Canadian reciproc- ity resolution is offered next week.
 Following is the text of MT. Can mons letter:
 Tt is represented in Washington that you are about to consider in the Legislature at springfield resolu- ton indorsing the commercial agree ment with Canada, which is now pend ing before congress.
 That proposed agreement provides substantially for free trade between Canada and the United States in agri- |cultural products, the farmers finished products.
 Of course, free trade in these pro ducts is by itself one sided because we give Canada an immense market for her farm products both in theory and in fact. while she affords us prac- tically no market for farm products, in facts whatever may be the theory
 of course, if there can be any ad- vantage given us which will compen- sate for the burden of competition thus placed on our farmers, we should be able to find it in the terms. have not found it so far and note that the Canadian envoy, MT. Field ing, explains to the money country that while Canada is gaining large market in the United States the United States is not to gain market enough in Canada to interfere with English trade.
 T note also one conspicuous dis elimination. Food animals on the hoof such as our farmers have to sell. come into this country free of duty, but on the meats manufactured from these animals there is levied a duty of a cent and quarter pound.
 The agreement to me and to many others seems substantially to deny protection to all agricultural prod ucts, treating them as raw material, and to accord protection all who use such products in whole or in part as basis form some manufacturing or finishing process.
 Tine democrats in the house of rep resentatives have held caucus in regarr to the matter and have re- solved to support the agreement in the house on the ground that while it is not all they desire to accomplish it Is long step forward in the di- rection of free trade, under the guise of reciprocity, their position now and in the near future being for tariff for revenue only and against protsc- tion That is not, as l understand, the position of the republican party as set forth in it's platform and outlined in it's policies and for one I can't agree with the democratic caucus,

senators in some way which shall not permit tae people to pass directly up- oh them is merely relic of the same feeling which made the founders of the constitution trust the election of lhe president to the electoral college lhstead of to direct popular vote. The same fears of the people expressed now by those who are against the choice of senators by popular vote were expressed a century and a ouar. ter ago by the good and wise meu Who erroneously felt that it was not safe to trust the election of the pres,- dent to direct popular vote.
 "A comparatively short experience convinced the nation that the presi- dent should be voted for directly by the people. And although the form Of an electoral college has been retained. the actual fact is that the vote for president is direct vote, the cleo tors having no function except for mally to ratify the popular decree. and if it were possible even this slight function could, with advantage, be abolished.
 None of the evils prophesied have resulted from the change in the case of the president and the same thing, am perfectly sure, will happen when the change is made as regards to senators. It will be a change mark edly for good-iust as much for good as was the change in the case of the president.
 But the United States should, un- der no circumstances, surrender one particle of the control it now has as regards the election of senators. To do so would be a mistake which might have grave and far-reaching conse- quences and absolutely no argument worth haeding can be advanced in favor of such change.
 T feel that we are to be congratu. lated as nation rpon the liklihood of obtaining closer reciprocity of tariff and trade relations with Can ada. Among all the powers of the earth there is none with which we should desire to be upon more inti- mate footing of equal rights, to whica We should be more closely bound in relations of mutual helpfulness, es. teem and good will than in the case of our great neighbor to the north. whose prosperity and growth should be matter of pride to al! who dwell on the American continent"

Naglll to the American ambassador

Magill to the American ambassador here.
 MT. Wilson has made proper rep resentations relative to the affair to the Mexican foreign office it became known today.
 The speech to which exception was taken was delivered by Senor Cuesta before working mems organization in Guadalajara. He declared that the Yankee men and Yankee gold" were behind the revolution and that every man who allied himself with the movement sold himself to foreigners. He pointed to Cuba, Porto Rico and Hawaii as Horrible exemples" of American intervention, and to their fate as the probable fate of Mexico should the revolution succeed.
 At the foreign office the subject was said to have been referred to the department of the interior as com ing under that jurisdiction.
 The opinion was expressed unoffi. cially that inasmuch as Senor Cuesta had not yet assumed the office of gov ernor, his utterances could only be regarded as those of a private criti- cism and as having no special signif- canoe.
