Federals Get Reinforcements.

The movement of the reinfOrcementS
which formed junction with Navarro be-
gan last Sunday and was accomplished
the following Tuesday. At no time did
the federals sight the enemy in force.
Every day they fired at long distance at
some small detachment, but usually
without results. Wednesday, when the
work of clearing Nal Paso was begun in
earnest a small body of insurrectos con-
tested the way for few hours. killing
and wounding about twenty of the fed
esalS.
Their own loss in killed and wounded
was estimated at less than this. but the
government estimates the insurrectO
loss in killed and wounded in the
neighbOrhOod of forty.
In any event Gen. Luque occupied the
pass, as officially reported, and re-
qested repair train. This train re-
paired the track. but not the telegraph
wires, through Nal PasO, and entered
Pedernales There the wounded were
placed on board.
Navarro is in supreme command of
the combined forces. and is now MAX
ing preparations for pursuing and SUBJ
DUNG the enemy and for the better
care of the wounded. whom he cannot
safely remove from the hospital.
His opposition consists, in a semi-Organ-
lied way, of the three main bands before
mentioned. He expects opposition in the
way of ambuscades only. The revolu-
rtiOnary force Is insufficient In numbers
and arms to give open battle.
Small Bands Recruiting.
1t is probable that the small bands. os-
tensibly, at least, are OH recruiting and
foraging duty.
The whole revolutionary movement lacks
g. forceful leader, and unless some dark
hued Napoleon arises and brings patriotic
inspiration. fortitude and organization to
them their cause is generally considered
| to be lost. None of the present leaders
has developed any such genius.
Despite these facts, the task ahead OF
Navarro Is a difficult and hazardous one
He must operate as an army while the
insurrectos gallop away from MIN at
expected spots In the hills and noun
tains.

Nashville. Tenn, Jan. 21-It seems
to be generally conceded among po-
litical leaders here that the supreme
struggle between the fusionists and
regular Democrats over the United
States senatorship will come in the
general assembly next week. It is also
the opinion that unless the fusionists
induce Lake Lea to run and center on
him, they will be unable to elect a rep
resentative Of their cause.
On the side Of regular Democrats It
is said a supreme effort will be made
to elect McMillin, and it is understood
that If McMillin fails to win early next
week the regulars will divide most Of
them going to Nat Baxter, speaker of
the senate. It is reported that two or
three independents will vote for Nc
Millin for fear that unless they accept
him Governor Patterson will be elected.
Both factions are said to be quarreling
among themselves. hence the possi-
bility of dark horse winning.

completed its case this afternoon the
attorneys had played their strongest
card in an effort to establish the al
legation that a conspiracy had been
formed by members of the Schenk

This came when Mrs. Jane Hodges
testified that Johns brother had sale

I will leave no stone unturned to get
