GOV. VEGA ON The RUN.
Mexican Commander Is Wounded and
in Full Retreat.

Mexicaii, Mex, Feb. dedicated ana
in full retreat, the army of Governor
Vega, of lower California, is hurrying
back toward Enseneda by way of the
Cocopah mountain pass, southwest Of
here. Vega himself is sorely wounded.
One insurrecto bullet pierced Vega S
neck and another his left side, caus-
ing a serious wound
In a litter, rugged like a sedan chair,
he is being carried southwark by his
men.
Simon BerthoIdt, second in com
mand of the insurrecto force in Next
cali left here with about 100 men and
it is supposed that he is in pursuit OF
the retreating regulars.
The main body of the rebels remains
entrenched in the arroyos, washed out
by the Colorado river during its last
rampage They are waiting the arrival
of the federal forces which are believ-
ed to be on the way from Sonora by
way of Yuma.
1t is understood here that these
troops will be sent to where the break
of the Colorado river into the Rio Abe
Jos is being closed by Colonel Ockerson
at an expense of about one million dol
lars.
They are supposed to protect that
work from molestation by insurgents.
Locally, this protection is considered
unnecessary, as the insurgents would
have to travel long distance to reach
the break and would accomplish moth
ing to advance their cause by placing
any difficulties in the way of Colonel
Ockerson's work.
The location of the work is approx
mately so miles east of Mexicali-

End OF ASTOR LIBRARY.
The 'sF'or Sale'' Sign Is Hanging on
the Building.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE "for sale"
sign of a real estate agency hanging
from the front of the Astor library on
Lafayette street, marks the passing OF
another New York landmark. The
building, opened to the public 81 years
ago as the result of a 100000 gift from
John Jacob Aston, will be closed about
May 1, when it's books and manuscript
treasures win be moved to the new
SIC, 900, 900 public library building on
Fifth avenue.
The Astor library was incorporated
in 1849 with Washington Irving, Fitz
Greene Halleck and other notable lit
erary men among it's trustees The
original gift for its establishment was
largely increased 80 years later by Will

BIG YEAR AHEAD.
Advance Bookings for Travel to
Europe Are Heavy.

New York, Feb. 17-According to a
representative of the Transatlantic
lines, the advance bookings for next
season give every indication that the
travel to Europe will be greater than
ever before. Last year was regarded
by steamship men as the banner year,
as the tide of eastward travel reached
a higher mark than even in 1907, just
before the financial depression.
Between January 1 and September /
of last year 1855 cabin and 21O, 900
steerage Transatlantic passengers sail
ed from this port. These figures are
likely to be surpassed this year in the
first and second classes. and there IS
reason to believe that steerage travel
will also be heavy.
