FIGHTING OVER IN MEXICO
Officials Say Rebellion Has Been
Broken-The Trials.

Mexico City, Jan. 1--we do not expect
any more engagements between the fed
eral forces and the revolutionists in the
state Of Chihuahua" said government
official who is close to the President to-
night.
"Our soldiers have sought in many places
i'm Chihuahua to meet the rebels, but IN
every instance of late the rebels have re-
fused to fight. fleeing to the mountains and
scattering in every direction.
The insurrection in Mexico we consider
a closed incident. II any further trouble
occurs II will doubtless be in the vicinity
of the town Of MADEIRA. Chihuahua, but
even there we do not expect any activity.
II am not prepared TO say just what pro-
cedure will be taken i'm the trial Of pris-
oners. but they win be tried in the Grim
inal courts on charges based on what the
individuals have done in the way Of break
ing the laws of the country.
For precautionary reasons our soldiers
will remain in Chihuahua for some time
longer They have large supplies OF am
munitiOn. and reports that our army Of
fcers have been compelled to go into cities
in the United States near the border TO
purchase supplies are absolutely without
foundation

Statement on Foreign Relations.
ENTENTES NOT INJURED
Triple and Dual Agreements
Unchanged by the Confer

tBy Cable TO The Tribune. ]

Paris. Jan. 14.--The replies made by
NJ. Pichon, the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, to the trenchant attacks made
on the foreign policy Of the BRAND cab
met by NJ. Jaures. the Socialist leader
of the French parliament. have cleared
the political atmosphere and nave caused
unqualified satisfaction i'm France. Ac-
cording to trustworthy information re-
ceived here. the impressions created in
official circles In st. Petersburg. London,
Berlin. Vienna and Rome by NJ Pichon's
declarations are, on the whole, extremely
favorable.
NJ. Jaures. who is notoriously a bitter
enemy Of the Russian government
sought TO prove that the recent Potsdam
interview between the Kaiser and the
Car. followed by the Russo German ne
Gotiations defining and settling the spe-
cial interests of those two nations in
Persia and in regard 10 the Bagdad
Railroad, constituted a partial renuncia-
ton of the triple agreement between
France. Russia and England.
Minister Pichon, by his answers to NJ
Jauress incisive questions. has convinced
the French people that the Potsdam In
terview has not modified the triple en-
tente, has not weakened the dual agree
ment between France and England
and that It has not in any way affected
the alliance between France and Russia
In other words. the three cardinal fac-
tors on which the foreign policy OF
France is based remain as firmly estap-
lIshed as they were before the Potsdam
interview occurred.
II is. moreover. now known that Rus

DEVELOPING NEAR EAST
England Likely to Support the
Schemes of Germany.
TERMS MADE IN LIBERIA
Conventions Likely to Further
Negotiations for Loan to
Black Republic.
IBN Cable to Tho Trihunc |

London. Jan. 14.--The British govern
ment is not seriously weakened by evil
dence that Russia and Germany are
making working arrangements respect
ing the Middle East The grouping OF
the powers remains as ii was, and the
triple entente serves TO balance the Triple
Alliance. If Germany reverts to Bis
marck's policy of interesting Russia in
Asian affairs and diverting her atten-
ton from Europe, she Is also herself
drawn in the same direction and her
predominance on the Continent is i'm
paired.
A new chapter in railway diplomacy
has opened The BsgGad Railroad will be
taken up with fresh ardor if Germany
has provided diplomatic means for link
ing it with the Persian system and Eng
land, instead of playing the foolish dog
in-the-manger policy. Is likely to CO.
operate in the work of civilization and
carry out the projects of the Jndo-Eu-
rcpesn lines, with direct connection from
the Caspian to British Beluchistan. one
railway agreement is likely to lead to
another. especially as the Turkish gov
eminent has not been consulted. King
George and the Kaiser, when the time
comes for an exchange of visits, may
help along these railway compacts, with
the consent of France and Russia.
The only other diplomatic episode is
the settlement Of the Liberian frontier
disputes. One convention has been made
by France, and another has been ar
ranged with England, and If the republic
loses slices of territory over which there
was only nominal control, the settlement
of the boundary question is great ad-
vantage. 1t will materially facilitate
the negotiations for loan for which
American. British, French and German
money will be solicited The friendly
influence Of the State Department has
been exerted IN all these transactions,
and a marked improvement in the af-
fairs Of the little black republic is hoped

Halifax. n. s, Jan. 1.-THE 5000 for
which the Bank OF Nova Scotia officials
have been searching since Wednesday has
come to light in manner fully as mys-
terious as the circumstances surrounding
the disappearance OF the money. The cash

REPRIMAND FOR SIMS
Secretary Meyer Issuing Formal
Order to Navy.

Washington, Jan. IA general order
reprmandlng Commander William 5. Sims
for his last drop Of blood speech in
London has been issued by Secretary
Meyer. The first copy Of the order was
sent to Admiral Schroeder, commander-ln-
chief of the Atlantic fleet. to be given TO
Commander Sims. This action was based
upon a desire of the Navy Department
that the commander should receive the
order before it is generally published In
the navy.
The order Is now being printed and VIII
be sent 10 every officer In the American
navy and posted on board every vessel
and at every navy yard and station As
the general order will be given to the press
later this method of reprimand is consid-
cred distinctly public and In line with the
Presidents instructions in his letter TO
Secretary Meyer. While no information in
regard TO the contents Of the order can be
obtained IL is understood that Secretary
Meyer follows the reasoning Of the Presi-
dent closely

NAVAL FEUDS NEAR END
Effect of Retirement Of Fisher
and Beresford.
rBy Cable 10 The Tribune. !

London, Jan. 14.-Resistance within
the English Cabinet to the costly naval
armament has apparently lapsed. There
will be larger appropriations for the
navy than ever before. and a more ag-
gressive scheme OF construction. The
two rival admirals who have divided the
navy into factions will speedily be in
retirement. Lord Fisher will cease to
be Admiral of the Fleet before the end
Of January, and Lord Charles Beresford
will also retire under the age clause In
another month. without having attained
equal rank with his rival There would
barely be time for his special promotion
to the highest rank as Admiral OF the
Fleet. but this well merited recognition
of his brilliant services is not likely 10
occur. The naval feuds will end wheh
the two admirals disappear from the ac-
tive list.

Nicaragua.

Tegucigalpa. Honduras, Jan. l4.-Ine
censorship was relaxed sufficiently to-
day to permit the statement that the
government realizes the seriousness OF
the revolutionary movement led by Tor
mer President Bonilla. That Tru1iilo
has been captured by the revolutionlsts
is not denied.
The officials arc reticent but seem
confident that the revolt will be sup

There is an unconhrmed rumor OF an
invasion from Nicaragua in support OF
Bonilla.
No official information regarding the
loan which was expected TO be obtaineo
from an American syndicate is obtain
able.
New Orleans. Jan. 14.-Since Wednes-
day morning. when brief wireless mes
sage from Ceiba told of the approach
near that city Of Bonilla's insurgents, not
word has been received from the HON
duran port. The belief that a decisive
battle has been fought at Ceiba ana that
the wireless station has been seized is
general here. The steamer Karen was
scheduled to sail for Ceiba last Wednes-
day with a cargo Of bananas, but her
owners have heard nothing from her
since Tuesday. The Karen flies the Nor

yentions OF 1907 by which the sigma

The dispatch from Tegucigalpa, the Hon.

that revolutionary party has made prog
ress against the administration of Presi-
dent Davila. The censorship has been
strict, and news from Tegucigalpa has
been TO the effect that everything was
quiet and that the situation politically was
not such as to make the government un-
easy. 1t had been reported that Trujillo,
a town on the north coast, had been oc-
cupied by the revoutionists and this is now
officially confirmed. Trujilo is $50 miles
from Tegucigalpa. There have been ru-
mors that Bonilla's followers were moving
