MEXICAN OFFICERS PLEASED
WITH WASHINGTON REPORTS

New York. n. Y, March 1.-THE
Mexican ambassador and the Mexican
minister Of finance have received as
surances from Washington which con-
vince them that there is sincere coop
Grafton between the administration OF
president Taft and that of president
Diaz.
1t is not protested that all tension
has been relieved and, while American
troops remain in force on the Mexican
border, it is admitted some tension
will continue, but apprehension was
appreciably lessened.
First in Importance was long tele-
gram to ambassador de Ia Barra from
the state department announcing that
the American warships assigned to
patrol duty on the Pacific and Gulf
coasts of Mexico had been ordered to
call at Mexican ports only for coal and
then to withdraw promptly.
The second development was the
publication here of an authorized in
terview with Jacob N. Dickinson. the
secretary of war, in which he denied
that this government contemplated in
tervention.

Rebels Under Castro Com
NIT Depredations West
of Torreon.

Torreon, Mexico, March 14-Com-
munication is again interrupted be-
tween Torreon and Durango, both by
rail and wire. The 900 insurrectos
who engaged the 100 regulars at the
Saucillo hacienda 80 miles from the
railroad, committed other depredations
before nightfall which worked badly
to the disadvantage Of the railroads.
Conflicting reports are in circulation
as to the outcome Of the battle. both
sides, it is said claiming to have caused
losses to the other, but what is &C
tually known is that the 900 men, more
or less drunk and disorderly, at the
conclusion of the battle, rode toward
Catalina. burned the bridge south of
that station on the International road
north of Durango, and held up the pas
senger train, though not for robbery.
at Catalina They forced a light en-
CINE, run by engineer Claude Rasor,
to run back toward Yerbanis as a pilot
engine and then ordered engineer Ber-
ridge Of the south bound passenger
train to back up and follow the en-
CINE. When the passenger train
reached the long bridge at kilometer
rs a halt was ordered and the mob
started TO burn the bridge under the
train. Berridge made rush for safe
II with his charge and drew heavy
fire of bullets. The passenger train
then backed up to Yerbanis, where 1t
remaining all night While at Catalina
the mob seized the fruit and the rail-
road mail in the express car, burned
the latter and ate the fruit.
The wires south of Yerbanis were
cut when they entered Catalina and
since then there has been no tele-
graphic communication south Of YER
banis As a result hacendados with
families near the seat OF battle are con-
cerned about their safety, receiving no
intimation of the outcome or the dam
age.
The band under former car inspector
Castro which visited Tlahualilo were
of a better class than the majority of
the Durango crowd and were wen
drilled and under splendid control and
discipline.

which have been received here since

Chihuahua, conditions in that city ap-

are tied UP in Jimenez consigned to

other companies in that city. It is
said. however, that the railroad COM
pany is well supplied with fuel in Chi
huahua and that the National Railways
OF Mexico throughout the system have
a 60 days supply on hand 1t is the
privilege Of the railroad to confiscate
coal at the price at which it is con-
signed, but on the other hand the rail
ways company has always been liberal
in its treatment of victims of fuel
shortages and has made heavy loans Of
coal at times in order to keep big
