San Jose. Mexico. January 81:
Details Of the massacre of Federal

battle He is a veteran of four wars
and is credited with killing four ru-
rales. The massacre took place near
CuchillO. The correspondent with the
insurgent forces interviews several
captured government soldiers and all
of them gave practically the same ac-
count of their losses. Jose de Ia Cruz
Sanchez and Torileo Ortega. Mexican
ranch owners commanded the inSur-
gents. All the Federal soldiers under
Col. Dorante, numbering nearly 400
men, probably would have been mas

hausted their ammunition. The SOL
diers were entrapped in the mountains
and for nearly three days were under
the fire Of the insurrectos. The insur-
gents cantured 80 Mauser carbines and
10 wounded men. Twenty horses be-
longing to the revolutionists were left
in a canyon three miles from the bat
tie ground and in their retreat the Fed
eral soldiers confiScated them. The
government troops retreated in disor-
der to Coyama and entrenched them
selves. They made no attempt to cross
the mountains to their headquarters at
Ojnaga. Only $50 soldiers remain IN
Ojinaga and an attack is hourly eX-
pected.
There is just now much agitation
of the question of fortifying the Pan
anna canal. Philanthropists, peace
makers. or perhaps sentimentalists
are opposed to any step looking to-
ward military protection. Statesmen
and militarists, on the other hand. are
unable to see safety except in fortress
es and big guns. Congress has been
memorialized by distinguished men
and women who made much of the ar
gument that the SueZ canal was with
out fortifcation and that inasmuch as
England had left this canal open and
undefended. there was no reason why
the Panama canal should be fortified.
This statement, however, appears to
have been presented without complete
geographical or political knowledge. a
sum equal TO the cost of the Panama
canal would not he sufficient to fOrtify
