FL Paso, Tex, April 10.-Advices

Reinforcements from Hermosillo have
gone to the assistance of the Federals
driven from Arizpe, and battle with
the victorious Insurrectos in that vi
cinity is expected when the two fed
eral forces form Il junction.
The Insurrectos have abandoned
Tepia, Durango, to go to Nelardena to
reinforce the rebel force battling with
the federals in that vicinity. 1t is re-
ported the Federals have formed an al
lance with the Cuencame Indians in
Durango under compact by which
the Indians are to have their lands and
rights restored if the Insurrectos are
driven out of the state.
Material is still being taken from
here to Pearson and Casas Grandes for

Several Injured in Attack Upon
Barracks Of Civil Guard.
Genddrme ReintorCementS on
Way to Re-eStabIish Order.
The Conditions with Regard to Por-
tugese Possibilities and Fears.

Madrid, April 1o.-An embryo repub-
lie has been proclaimed at Canillas De
AceituGo in the province of Malaga.
The populace Of the town rebelled
against the royal authority and at
tackled the barracks of the civil guard.
Several persons were wounded in the
fighting that followed. Reinforcement
of troops are being hurried to the
scene
Official adEices state that a part of
the population of the town revolted
and proclaimed a republic. a crowd
attacked the barracks of the civil
guard and five persons were wounded.
1t is officially announced that rein
foreements of gendarmes have been
hastily sent to the town to re-establish
order.
Canillas De Aceituno is a town of
about 5000 inhabitants in the southern
part of the province of Malaga.
Malaga province borders on the
Mediterranean, its capital Malaga, be-
ing So miles northeast Of Gibraltar.

CURED near the Portuguese frontier as
in the historically rebelious Catalonia,
IL would have given more concern to
the government which is determined
not to tolerate the intervention OF the
Portuguese representations in Spanish
affairs.
The government already has made
representations on several occasions at
Lisbon, regarding the number of
Portuguese who are in close correspond
ence with Spanish Republicans and
plotting for a republic in Spain. This
government is not hostile to Portugal
but has infomed the provisional gov
eminent, that Portugal cannot be used
as a base for the promotion of designs
against the Spanish monarchy without
awakening serious distrust on the part
of the government at Madrid.
The cabinet has considered what ac-
ton should be taken in the event of
anarchy in Portugal as consequence
of a prolonged civil war between
Monarchists and Republicans In the
event of such a situation Spain for the
sake of her own security. almost GER
tainly would intervene.
The military element regards the oc-
cupation of Portugal as something easy
of accomplishment. The Spanish
troops are well equipped for field work
and the Spanish garrisons on the
Portuguese frontier are being strength
eEed
The government. however, has no
thought of the permanent occupation
OF Portugal This is due to several
reasons, the most important of which
is that it is not disposed t. have an
other troublesome Catalonia on its
hands. 1t appears to be thought in of
fetal circles that the government could
deal more readily with the Republican
movement in Spain should a republic
in Portugal fail.

sidered that a minority member is en-
titled as a right to remain on two OF
the leading cor mittees.

signment with q new member. so as to
avoid the embarrassment which a new

leagues declared they would not sit on

not been assigned to any committee on

That many of the committees of the
House of Representatives are loaded
down with employees drawing immense
salaries, employees for which the COM
mittees have no more use than hog
has for side pockets" was the declara-
ton of Rep. Frank Clark of Florida in
Ia resolution which he introduced In
the House today to abolish rs more
positions with an annual payroll Of
about $685. 1000
Mr.. Underwood. Democratic leader,
objected to the resolution until the
situation could be investigated. He
said the House, payroll already had
been cut $4,000 and that the bus
mess of the House might be handi-
capped by further reduction Of the
force of employees.
The House adjourned at LOT P. NJ,
until tomorrow when 1t is expected
committees will be announced.
A joint resolution "to equalize ben
efits of reciprocity between agricul-
tural and manufacturing sections Of

NEW FREsNAL LIGHT.
Hot Springs Special Has New Fes- ture Installed by Iron Noun
 tain Road.

The Missouri Paclfic-lron Moun- tain is installing the Fresnel Signal Lamp on the rear end of it's trains. This is the same light used aboard ships and on steamboats. It is a long. narrow belt of light and gives spread of illumination of forty five degrees on either side of a central point. or a total illumination of 90 degrees.
 The ordinary signal lamp used on the rear end Of trains is the small bufls-eye, and while the light is bright, 1t has no spread, throwing out only thin line of illumination directly back of the train.
 The big advantage of the wide spread of light that the Fresnel lens gives is that in rounding curve 1t over the land. so that trains on the other turn of the curve can plainly see 1t, whereas they cannot observe the light of the ordinary strain sig nal lamp. This fact gives the Fres- nel lens great advantage in ,he line of safety.
 The problem of getting light that would carry around curves is oae on (which the railroads have been draw- ing for years because 1t means SO lmuch to them from inc standpoint of safety. The Fresael lens has been worked on by numerous railroads. but there were me ,hanieal arobienIs connected with 1t they niers unable to overcome.
 MT. B. IT, Mann. chief signal en. gineer of the Missouri Pacific Iron Mountain, has been working for over Ia year to overcome these defects and has finally snccee led in perfeesing the lamp so that t can be used on railroad trains.
 Service tests have been made re- cently on the Hot Springs Special ard on both of iae through. fast } trains to Texas. These tests have been most satisfactory, aad arrange ment are now being mada to have the Fresnel lens signal lamp 10 eaxs the place of all other signal lamps on aiI trains of the system
 The Missouri Pacific-lron Moun- Itain is the first rcai to psriect ard ladopt these lamps. .t will only De a question Of time nntiI all other railroads will follow 'fs example.

Compromising Crime.

Several weeks ago, in Judge Lands court
at Chicago, man was found guilty of defraud-
ing the government Of customs duties When
1T came time to impose sentence the Judge de-
clined to fix a definite penalty stating in open
court that his reason therefor was that the gov
eminent proposed to let escape two of the man s
accomplices if they made restitution. The court
refused to make fish of one and fowl Of the
other nor to discriminate against the one at the
expense of the other.
Pennsylvania built state capitol that cost
it $13,O00,000, of which $5,000,00 or more was
stolen by grafters The case was one of the
most shameful even in the black annals Of that
corruptly governed state. One Of the grafters
is under an indeterminate sentence although an
appeal has been taken. His convicted associates
have made restitution to the state in the sum
OF $l,300,000; have surrendered warrants for
100000 upon which payment had been stopped
and in return the commonwealth agrees to stop
all further proceedings
The two paragraphs above point their own
moral They are printed together because they
indicate the responsibility for much Of the cor
ruption in public life today, as well as point
the remedy.
just so long as men of venal tendencies be-
lieve they can get free Of any charge Of steal
ing public moneys by restoring part Of the loot
just so long will they continue to theve when
opportunity offers But the practice makes a
with enough of his thievings left to make it
worth while may have his offense compounded
and escape all punishment, while the poor devil
who stole but few thousands and blew it in y
has nothing left to purchase his exculpation
Boiled down to its last analysis, the practice of
compromising these sort Of offenses on the basis
of restitution really amounts to bargain and
sale Of the offenders liberty if he possesses the
price That is the plain English Of it. And it
is really not pleasant thing to think about
that our courts are so shamefully prosttuted in
these proceedings.
Judge Lands has the correct idea about it.
Don't have one kind of justice for the man who
can return the government modicum of his
theft from it, and another brand Of justice for
the one who cannot make restitution. Is the
guilt of the man with the money any less be-
cause of that fact, or is the guilt of the other
man greater because he is pennilessY Any judi
cial institution which endeavors to discriminate
between the two might as well leave the blind
fold off.
