and 1000 prospective settlers arrived
in San Antonio from the North Four
special trains were required to accom-
modate them. The passenger men re-
port fully as large number went to
Houston and Galveston. The majority
of these homeseekers are destined to
points south on the International &
Great Northern or west on the Calves
ton, Harrisburg & San Antonio. Those
destined for Brownsville are now for

Houston. Formerly the greater num-
Der came through San Antonio. Better

New Orleans to Get Worlds Fair.

New Orleans to Get Worlds Fair.
Washington.-By a vote of 9 to
New Orleans was selected Friday by
the house committee on expositions as
the site for the Panama exposition in
1915. The bill giving recognition to
New Orleans Was~sreferred to a sub
committee for slight changes. 1t is
said an appropriation bill will be grant
ed.
Afte long consideration of the claims
of New Orleans and San Francisco,
the committee voted to report favor
ably the Estopinal bill recognizing New
Orleans and authorizing the selection
of board of commissioners, the max
ing of a government exhibit and the
like.
Though no appropriation for the fair
committee will favor an extensive gov
ernment exhibit to cost approximately
one million The bill referred to a
subcommittee, which will report Tues
day and the bill will then be favorably
reported to the house.
Representative Kahn of California
who has been leading the congress
ional fight for San Francisco, said he
would bring up the question on the
floor of the house next week.
Mr.. Kahn's plan is to secure action
on the Kahn resolution favorably re-
ported to the house committee on for
eign affairs at the last session of con-
gress, inviting the participation of for
eign countries in the Panama-Pacific
exposition at San Francisco in 1915.
The committee at that time avoided
a decision on the controversy, report
ing both the Kahn measure and the
Estopinal resolution inviting the par
ticipation of foreign countries in the
Panama exposition at New Orleans in
1915. Both these measures are now
on the calendar.

NADERO AT CASAS GRANDES
HEAD OF A FORCE RECRUITED
FROM THE MINES.
Stubborn Fisht-Many Were Killed
and Wounded on Both Sdes-An-
other Brush at Boquiias.

City of MeXico-News from Ciudad
Juarez to Ell Paso Monday, stated that
the encounter at Cuesta de la Aldea
was a stubborn fight, resulting in
losses in killed and wounded on both
sides, but gave no figures as to the
number of casualties. The rebels were
said to have suffered more owing to
the fact that a part of their number
fought in an open plain. A reinforce
ment from General Luque's troops ar
rived while the battle was in progress
and saved the day for the small force
under Colonel Dorantes, portion of
whose command had been dispatched
to Casas Grandes and Galeana.
A rumor was in circulation, it was
stated, that Madero had been for some
days in Casas Grandes at the head of
a considerable number of followers, re-
cruited chiefly from the mines of the
Galena district, where work had been
suspended.
Colonel Antonio Rabago, with infan-
try and cavalry, was reported en- route
to Galeana.
Chihuahua dispatches report a re-
cent brush with rebels at Boquillas on
the Rio Grande, opposite Brewster Co.,
and a sharp fight in the Batopilas min
ing district, near the Sonora state line,
southwest of Chihuahua The former
routed with one killed and several
wounded. In the latter the federals
took the town of Yokuivo, where the
insurrectos had been intrenched. The
rebels were dislodged with the loss
of "a great number of dead, wounded
and prisoners"
Among the prisoners were four
leaders of "cabecillas"
A Three-Days Battle.
More than one hundred soldiers
were killed in a three days battle be-
tween the federals and insurgents in
the mountains between Ojinaga and
Cuchillio Parade.
Two hundred soldiers under Colonel
Dorantes, with two machine guns, have
gone to the rescue, but these troops
are also engaged
The government troops were caught
in a trap and were literally moved
down by the storm of bullets which
swept their ranks from three direc-
tions. The insurgents occupied the
cliffs and mountains and the soldiers
were in the road with only one way
of escaping and that guarded. OF the
200 men who went into the pass only
forty escaped as far as known. They
joined the column under Colonel Do
rantes.
The revolutionists' loss was slight,
only five men being killed, according
to the insurgent reports.
The battle was the most severe
fought during the present trouble and
later reports indicate that the federal
soldiers are retiring slowly to their
fortified camp at Ojinaga, pressed on
every side by the rebels.
