MEXICAN REBELS
CLAIM VICTORY
At AQUA PRlETA
Deny Report That Federals Am-
pushed the lnsurrect0s
During Fight.

Ell PASO, Tex, March 3l.-Advices
to the Herald from Magdalena, Sonora,
by mail declare that Mondays battle
reported from Aqua Prieta as a victory
for the federal force was really a VIC
tory for the rebels. Regardless Of an
official dispatch from General Torres
that the rebels had been ~annihilated,
the Herald's correspondent at Magda-
lena says the dispatch only caused de-
rision there, where the facts are known.
He says the rebels ambushed the fed
erals at San Rafael, instead of the
rebels being ambushed or taken un-
awares, as officially reported, and that
the federals were driven to take refuge
in a mill at Santa Rosa, where the
rebels surrounded them. Then rein
forcements came out from Hermosillo
and the battle was raging on Wednes-
day when the letter was written.
A telegram sent by mail yesterday
from Hermosillo by the Herald cor
respondent to Nogales n from
Nogales forwarded this morning by
wire says of the fighting:
1.-THE battle that is being fought at
San Rafael is the most important en-
| gagement of the revolution in this
state.

PARIS. February 24.-Incidents OF pub

The Avenue de IOpera was the scene
of one of the more serious male out

was una BILE to proceed. and a man, TAX
ing advantage of the situation, purchased
a basket of eggs from dealer In a side

other men, who, in order to show their
disapproval of what they considered un-
ladylike conduct. pelted the helpless
wearer of the new garment until a squad
of police interviewed and aided the woman
to escape in an automobile.
Doubt as to Skirts Adoption.
Doubts appear to have arisen among
the leading Paris dressmakers as to
whether the skirt will be adopted by
women as a general fashion. But few
have been ordered thus far and these
have gone chiefly to women from abroad
who were shopping here and wished to
take home the latest sensation. Many
models have been sent to prominent
houses dealing in women's wear in New
York city.
The journals publish medical opinions
on the new style. Some aver<the wide
trousers, affording the wearer freer
movement in walking, and furnishing
less resistance to the winds, are to be
recommended from the viewpoint OF good
health. Other opinions to the contrary
are expressed. Prof Debore, formerly

Dispatch Not Conclusive.

The Valparaiso dispatch does not make
clear whether the accident was on the pri-
vate spur lines leading to the Braden Cop

probably that such is the case. The
Braden mines are on the western slope
Of the Andes mountains in the province
of O'Higgins, Chile. This is 175 miles
by rail south of Valparaiso.
Thus the scene of the wreck is a con-
siderable distance from the usual course

from Valparaiso to Buenos Aires, Argen-
tina, runs east and west far to the north.

Savarkar escaped to French soil when
the vessel upon which he was being re-

arrest in London, stopped in the harbor
Of Marseille. He was arrested by the
police and turned over to the British
detectives. The matter Of the rights of
asylum for a political refugee was raised,

should be returned to the French gov

serted that the Indian student was i'm
properly surrendered to the British Off
GERS after he had set foot on French
soil and appealed for refuge as a politi-
cal prisoner. Savarkar is a subject OF
Great Britain and was arrested on his
arrival in London March 13. 1910. charged
with sedition. The court ordered his re-
turn to India for trial.
Was Twice Sentenced.
After his escape at Marseille and his
recapture Savarkar was taken to India,
where he was tried and twice sentenced
to transportation for life, once for con-
spiracy to subvert British rule in India
and subsequently for completely in the
murder of Arthur NJ. l. Jackson, chief
magistrate of Mask, who was assas-
sinated in December. 1909.
Had the tribunal decided that Savarkar
should be returned to France on the

cal Great Britain would quite likely have
applied to the French government for his
extradition as a convicted murderer al
though the fact that he was not con-
yicted until after his escape and recap
ture might have made this move unsuc-
cessful.
