MEXICAN GOVERNMENT PROM

TIVE BATTLE AREA.
TENSION IS NOW RELIEVED.
Rsbsls Quit Aqua Prieta-FsderaIs
Advanced Slowly and Found a
Deserted city-RebsIs Fled
in Detached Bodies.

Washington, April 19.-Positive as
surances that the Mexican government
will adopt a definite restrictive policy
along the border and the news from
Douglas that the rebel forces evacu-
ated Aqua Prieta did much to relieve
the high tension under which Presi-
dent Taft and the members of his cabi-
net have labored for thelast few days.
The assurances from Mexico followed
the demands of the state department
that the fighting which endangered
American lives in border towns must
be stopped.
That the situation is regarded as
acute is evidenced by the fact that the
leaders Of both the house and the SEN
ate, with whom the president conferr-
ed prior to assembling Of the cabinet
declared that action is contemplated
by congress at this time.
Aqua Prieta, April 19.-The rebel
army, after eighteen hours of incessant
fighting yesterday in defense of Aqua
Prieta, quietly evacuated the town
during the night. 1t moved out silent
ly and when daybreak came was no
where to be seen. The Mexican fed
eral troops entered the city at dawn.
encountering no resistance.
The federals approached the town
from the south and east during the
early hours, coming in slowly and cau-
tiously lest they encounter an am
bush. Great was the surprise of the
commanders of the government troops
on finding when they reached the out
er works of the rebel entertainments
that the trenches had been abandoned
and no insurrectos were in sight.
The federals continued to come in
still more slowly presumably expect
ing at every moment to encounter a
surprise, but they found no rebels
anywhere. The latter had vanished
as completely as the night.
Later Developments showed the rebel
army to be badly disrupted. It's lead
erss gave up the fight and the men in
the ranks appear to have fed in di-
rections of their own individual choos-
ing.

Vow LOT Ine 1Ort1nCat1On OF the
Panama canal zone. Maj. Gen.
IL Leonard Wood has outlined
the needs of the strip from
the war standpoint. The pre-.
liminary sum appropriated and those
amounts that are to follow are to be
placed at the disposition of Col.
George w. Goethals, chief engineer of
the Panama canal, and the forts and
quarters are to be built In conjunc-
ton with the other work in this, the
greatest engineering undertaking in
all history.
The Panama canal in its simplest
terms is an inland lake accessible at
either end through locks. The few
miles Of channel between the locks
and navigable water on either end are
mere accessories to the canal. The
great Culebra cut is important only be-
cause Of the work In making it. The
locks are the vital thing when the
work Is done.
For these reasons the board Of for
tification decided that it was between
these locks and the sea that the great
defenses should be built. The high
lands near the sea should be the loca-
ton of the coast defense stations. The
chief Of these on the Atlantic side
would be on Toro point, commanding
Limon Bay and the entrance of the
canal. Another battery would be To-
Gated across the bay with the same
command. On the Pacific side the
greatest point Of vantage would be
Battle point. with a twin battery on
the opposite side Of the canals mouth.
or possibly on the island Of Culebra
In the harbor. All Of these points
are on high ground and command the
waters within ten miles Of the mouth
of the canal. g
Military authorities today declare
that the coast defense is the most i'm.
pregnable Of all, Notifications. Hours
Of heavy bombarding from powerful
navy should have little effect upon It.
while in return the probabilities are
that It would send many battleships
to the bottom.
7 The mainstay Of the coast defense
,is the disappearing gun. Those to be
used at Panama are to be sof 14-inch
caliber. They will be placed back Of

than mountain ridges, for the coast
