In twoa days fight with sthe insur-
rectos the Mexican federal soldiers,
under General Luque, sustained loss
OF from ten to twenty killed and with
dreY to Oyinga. The insurrectos
under General Ortega, who were en-
gagged with the federals, exhausted
their ammunition and were unable to
stop the federal retreat. The insur-
rectos' loss was one killed and wound
ed throughout the two days battle,
The leader, Ortega, had provided ex-
cellent defensive works against the
federals assaults. The insurrectos
fought from behind breast works, stone
heaps and trees. It reminded one of
days Of fighting when the Indians
combated the westward march Of the
yankee. Stories are told Of federal
soldiers cruelty to non-combatants and
the refusal Of the insurrecto leader to
permit his men to take revenge.
Brutal Treatment OF Non-combatants.

Japan after European tour, blamed
certain element in the United States
with doing all 1t can to provoke war.
Japan will do all in her power to
avert war with this country" said Mr..
Numalof. "but if the agitation-the
constant talk Of war and of anti-Japan-

cause unpleasant conditions to arise
between the two nations.

MADE START
ON CAMP PA|GN.
FIVE 8uNcHEs OF MEN LEAVE
THEIR WORK AND DEvoTErTlME.
I TO The RAISING or $4,000
ACADEMY FUND TODAY.

Five committees armed with grim
determination and line Of argument
that one cannot get away from, made
their start this morning from the rooms
OF the Commercial association for the
avoWed purpose Of raising $25.O0O
me object OF the fund is the securing
OF the new academy and convent which
the Sisters Of Humility Of Mary con
template erecting north of the city at
the cost Of 100000. The success that
the committees are meeting with is
encouraging, but the sum is Of such
size that it takes real work to make
the canvass. The large army Of men
who have volunteered their services
IN the work have ploughea through the
streets of the city all day today and
are determined that if the fund can be
raised they will do 1t and do 1t quickly
The business district Of the city has
been pretty thoroughly combed today
and the men doing the work say they
will persist in the struggle for funds
until the project is assured for OF
tumWa.
Make Statement.
The executive committee when ap-
preached today had the following to
say for the benefit of the workers and
the public:
The executive committee in charge
OF raising funds for the proposed
academy wish to say to the members
OF the soliciting committees that 1t is
absolutely necessary for each one to
arrange his business so he can devote
his time to this work for two more
days.
TO the citizens of Ottumwa they
wish to say that the enterprise is meet
ing with approval everywhere but that
the sum of $25,OO0 is hard to raise.
You must make up your minds to give
literally to this cause and then give
more than you can afford to. This is
q great opportunity for Ottumwa and
The citizens must be loyal and give.
Everyone will be seen. Please give lib
orally 80 the committees can complete
their work. Executive Committee"

.PAR7YLINES BROKEN
IN TODA YSROLLCALL
OF DEMOCRATS VOTED
FOR RESOLUTION, BUT TWENTY
VOTED WITH REPUBLICANS;
INSURGENTS OPPOSED.

Washington, D. G., Feb. 13.-The
house by vote Of 1876 to 121 decided
today to begin immediate considera.
tion of the Mccall bill carrying out the
reciprocity agreement with CANADA.
No agreement has been reached as to
the limit of debate but at 2:3O o'clock
today it was stated that no attempt
would be made to get the measure to
a vote today. While the vote to dis
place the regular order for. today on
the house calendar and take up reci-
procity cannot be accepted as an exact
indication of the final vote on the bill
it is regarded as being approximately
so. The vote against taking up the
measure today came almost wholly
from the republicans.
The democrats voted almost solidly
for Immediate consideration Some OF
the republicans who voted against dis
placing the regular order are not ex.
pected to place themselves on record
against reciprocity at the final vote.
Mr., Mccall, of Massachusetts will
handle the time for debate In favor OF
the bill and Mr.. Da1zatl Of Pennsyls
Yania.. will serve in like capacity for
the opposition.
The bill. is first being considered In
committee Of the whole on the state
of the union. All bills affecting the
revenues are thus considered. Speaker
Cannon called Representative Mann of
Illinois to the chair to preside over the
committee DUNG the consideration OF
the measure.
In the earlier proceedings, Mr.. Can
non, by recognizing Mr.. Mccall and de-
claring his motion to take up the reci-
procity bill a privileged matter, had
shown disposition to help the cause
along to a vote, despite the sentiments
against reciprocity which he expressed
in a letter to the Illinois legislature on
Saturday.
Representative Hill of Connecticut,
one of the republican members of the
committee on ways and means, was
recognized for one hour In support OF
the reciprocity agreement. He ex-
planned the measure in great detail.
The voting on the motion to take up
the reciprocity measure was followed
with the keenest interest.
On an aye and nay vote there are
always two calls throught the alpha
bette list. At the end of the first call
It was seen the reciprocity advocates
were winning comparatively easy
victory.
The vote then was: Ayes, 173;
nays, 10.
At the end Of the second call the
vote was announced as 1875 to 121. This
was later changed to 1876 and 121 10
correct a clerical error.
An analysis of the vote to take up
the Mccall bill showed this result:
For Republican 60; democrats, 1856;
total, 1876.
inst-Repubiican, 101; demo
Gratis, 20; total, 121.
Insurgents Oppose Consideration.
