minister OF foreign affairs Is the man
this direction.
In asking for the reports the Chamber
is bringing into the open not only the
question of the relations with the United
States, fast becoming a bugaboo, but the
negotiations Tor peace.
The reports will be made in open ses-
sion and all Mexico it to know just what
is being done to end the war.
A still deeper significance is that by
their act the deputies have placed their
country in position where it can deal
frankly and openly with the rebels, some
thing which up to this time it has been
impossible for the unofficial agents to 90.
The action of the Chamber of Deputies
was taken in executive session, which
lasted for two hours. The vote stood III
for the measure and 80 against it.
Immediately after the session, a
committee called on Minister De La
barra at the foreign office and informed
| him of the action taken. Instead of
| being annoyed by the action of the
| deputies as might have been expect
| ed under the old system, the minister
| was well pleased. Since his acceptance
of the portfolio his work has been
| characterized by frankness and it is
| known that if he had his own way 1t
| would be still franker.
There is no doubt that now the Mex
leans believe that American interven-
ton is imminent and a large part of
them. ignorant of just what is doing,
regard it as inevitable.
In letter to the presidents of the
various electionist clubs organizations
| formed for the support of General Diaz
during the last political campaign
Rosendo Pineda leader of the group
issues a warning, based on. the pos
sibility of American Intervention.
Mr.. Pineda recently returned from
New York.
In his letter Mr.. Pineda urges all
members of these clubs to stand to-
gether to avert A terrible and imi
nent danger to the honor and the
autonomy of the country. American
intervention.
Before going into executive session
today the second reading was given
the Bulnes measure. providing for the
non-re- election of u President, Vice
President or any state Governor This
measure comes up for discussion to-
morrow.

Cabrafs Insurrectos reported to be
south Of Naco, preparing to attack
that town. The Federal column march,
ed directly west. following the inter

Fear of a renewal of insurgent efforts
to capture Aqua Prieta is probably re-
spon2ible for the failure to send for

not moved far from the town was indi-
Gated this morning when small Insur-
recto band broke through the Federal
lines and set fire to the Necozari Rail-
road station, which was destroyed

During the ensuing skirmish several

ARM pistol to fight with the rebels.
Tied and roped, he was brought today
before American Consul Dye of No
gales with Tim X. Sullivan, an Amer
lean from Bridgeport, CT. The consul
had requested an opportunity to see
them. The Federals had kept Sullivan
for several hours SO tied with knotted
ropes that he was unable to lie down
