Officials Pushed.

Washington, March 15.-Oficials of
the state department and the Chinese
legation here are puzzled to find q
reason for the sudden delivery Of an
ultlmatum by the Russian government
to China in connection with the ne
gotiations regarding Russian trade
relations in Iii province. The dis
agreement is of long standing. Sew

nounced its purpose to have a military

roads and Trade.

Peking, March 15.-The Russian
minister. NJ. Korostovetz, delivered
Russias ultimatum to the Chinese
foreign board yesterday. 1t caused
much surprise among the officials
who seemed not to realize the gravity
Of the crisis.
NJ. Korostovetz last week for the
second time requested permission on
behalf OF his government to establish
observation stations along the Amur
and elsewhere on the frontier. He
desired also to place. doctors and po-
lice In Chinese border towns for the
purpose Of effectively quarantining
the frontier.
China viewed this measure as an
infringement on her integrity and the
Russian minister was notified that q
reply would be given today. In the
meantime M. Korostovetz was re-
quested to obtain further explanations
from st. Petersburg regarding the ma
ture Of the proposals, whereupon the
Russian government evidently decided
that there was no further use of par
leying.
1t Is expected here that the Rus
slams will now settle many outstand-
Ing matters. including the plague
quarantine, the disputed frontier, the
protection Of the railway from Hung
tie HUI, as we'll as trade, consular and
other differences in connection with
the treaty Of 1881.
1t is pointed out that for many
weeks the press throughout Asiatic
Russia has been supporting the de-
sire Of the military for the annexa-
ton Of Mongolia and northern Man
churia. but the Chtnsse foreign hoard
does not anticipate q SERIOUS Invasion.
Some of the Chinese express the hope
that the United States will interfere
and propose arbitration, but foreign
residents do not believe the American
government will take part in any of
these controversies except when ac-
tual American rights and interests
are affected.

revolutionists can be divided into
three groups: Those who honestly
think themselves the apostles of de-
mocracy and progress; men who have
failed in life and aspire to figure in
q new regime. and "the dross of So
ciety who are ready to fight for any
cause by which they can profit and
make use Of for their evil intentions,' -
declares Senior de la Barra. the Mexi-
can ambassador to the United States,
in the current issue Of the Independ-
ent. Of the first group, Senior de la
Barra says:
These individuals, II they are sin
cere, will admit that their act, instead
of being beneficial, has been harmful.
Their duty should be that Of the true
apostle, cooperating by their writ
ings, preachments and example to ac-
celerate the evolution" (the govern
ment's attempt to better the condition
of the people,, that has been start
ed. thus contributing within the law
and under its protection to the great
work Of national unity"
Senior de Ia Barra deplores the
harm which he says already has been
done, defines the insurrection as a
guerrilla warfare, maintained by mall
contents in q portion of the state Of
Chihuahua, which will be suppressed.
and expresses the belief that a united
people will work anew In Mexico to
solve its national problems.

clared Theodore Roosevelt this morn
ing at the breakfast given in his hon
or by the Toltec club. The colonels
remarks were the only utterance he
has made on the Mexican situation
and came as q complete surprise to
the members Of his party.
Col. Roosevelt led up to his obser-
vattons on the Mexican trouble by
saying that the property of his neigh
bors was the condition of prosperity
OF any man. He declared that hon
est dealing between man and man was
the only certain foundation Of pros
pertty. The same thing was true, he
said. Of the relations Of communities
to each other. Continuing, he declar-
ed that this country wished to see
its neighbors prosper, that his hear
ers who dwelt along the southern
border, knew from experience how
the turmoil" to the south had af-
fected business. He said that this
country only demanded Of its neigh
bors that order should reign in their
borders and that order should be es.
tabltshed upon justice.

Lost Opportunity.
Douglas, Ariz., March 15.-General
Blanco. the rebel leader, by delaying
too long his final attack on Aqua
Prieta, apparently has lost his op-
portunity. The Mexican government
by a ruse in allowing the capture Of
supposed official mall, deceived the
insurrecto chieftain into delay, enab-
ling federal reinforcements from Ma
cozari to reach the city and Join the
garrison.
These reinforcements arrived today
They number $50 regular troops and
Yaqui Indians. This brings the total
Of the federal force in Aqua Prieta to
$50 men. According to the best in
formation obtainable General Blanco
has 660 men.
The detachment Of federals that
reached Aqua Prleta today IL the
sahuar,pa. eand .s,ang gttered the rehel
men In the houses and streets Of that
city.
General Blanco appears to have re.
ceived misinformation which prevent.
ed his capturing Aqua Prieta before
reinforcements to the garrison ar
rived from the government mail
which he took from the train on the
Nacozari railroad several miles south
of Douglas yesterday. His men tore
up the. railroad track stopping the
train. They then went through the
mail car, carefully sorting out the
government mail. From this they
learned that the government had sent
no troops from Moctezuma for the re-
lief of Aqua Prieta.
A detachment of 100 federal troops
was sent out today in the direction oi
Blanco's camp. The rebel forces are
in the CenizaS Springs canyon, mar.
row chasm fl1nked by steep hills and
covered with large rocks, affordins
excellent cover for sharpshooters. II
is not believed the federals were
seeking an engagement unless they
succeed in drawing the insurrectof
from the canyon.
General Blanco is alleged to have
said in camp today that since the
government has decided to shoot pris.
oners on the field, he would do the
same thing hereafter.
| There .is no truth, however, in the
statement published in some quarter,
that wounded men were shot by the

is not believed that the cas- will be

friends of Judge Cowan say that the.

enmity for political purposes, possibly
to checkmate the Stockwell incident
Another class of people feel that the
dignity of the court should he upheld
and that drunkenness, as charged,
should not be tolerated in a district

for the state in a financial way and
