today are within 80 miles of Bachim-
ba pass, where the rebel forces OF
General Orozco are gathered. Govern
ment scouting parties have approach
ed to within 70 miles of Chihuahua,

Twenty-Five bridges destroyed by
Nhe rebels on their northward re-
treat are being repaired by 1000
workmen, and the Mexican Central
railroad is expected to be in complete

nearly 200 miles, within two days.
General Huerta lis enthusiastic
over the prospects of entering Chi
huahua before the end of the month.
He expressed satisfaction at the re-
ported route of the rebel forces of

of Torreon, as this reDel movement
airaed at the federal rear has threat
ened to embarass communication OF
the government columns with their
base of supplies at Torreon. Rebel
forces in the Torreon district have by
no means been dispersed, however,
but reports to General Huerta from

Havana, June 10.-The publication
in today's papers here of the news Of
the dispatch Of United States war
ships from Key West to Havana un-
der the command of Admiral Hugh
Osterhaus created a profound impress
sion. The popular impression is that
the coming Of American ships means
speedy Intervention by the United
States. Officials. however, unanimous
ly scout the idea and regard the send
ing Of the warships as friendly act
by the United States. They declare
they deplore that Washington has
been misled by exaggerated reports in
to the belief that racial war is about
to break out.
The officials assert that the rioting
here on Saturday night was not signi-
ficant Of race hatred, but they don't
explain the reason for the extensive
military preparations which were TAX
en- to prevent breach of the peace
in the capital last night, All parts
of the city were patrolled until day
light by detachments Of regular
troops and home guards. The aspect
of the city today is normal.

ing for the lightweight championship
fight at vernons July a, between Ad
Wolgast of Cadillac. Mich, and Jose
Rivera. (known as Joe Rivers) the To-
cal Mexican, began yesterday in the
camps of both principals.
Rivers condition was said to be
good but because of Wolgast's oper-
alton for appendicitis, much specula-
lation -centered around his appear
ance. Aside from being slightly wind
ed. his work was as fast as ever in
nine rounds of boxing, however, and
his punching power, if anything
seemed improved by his long period
of inactivity.
Manager Tom Jones announced
that Wolgast would leave in a few
days for the mountains where he
would trough it, for week. To the
surprise of fight followers, Wolgast

Mexico City, June 1O.-The Mexi-
can foreign office today is studying
the possibility of the extradition OF
Gonzales C. Enrile, the deposed fin
ancial agent of the revolutionary
party, who yesterday was arrested by
the American authorities on attempt
ing to reach American soil.
Foreign Minister Lascuray had be-
fore him documents relating to the
charge Of alleged embezzlement
against Enrile while Mexican con-
sui at Clifton, Arizona. Although
Enrile's political offenses are many,
Senior Lascuray said they did not
constitute basis for extradition.
Senior Lascuray was inclined to
doubt the reported resignation OF
General Huerta, the commander OF
the northern division of the Mexican
army. 1t was impossible to secure
verification or denial of the reported
resignation of General Huerta.

HEADS BEATEN INTO A PULP
cREwsoME DISCOVERY is MADE
BY WLLIscA, IOWA, Of
THE WORK OF A FTENB
CRIME MOST ATRocloUs EVER
COMMITTED IN THE HAWK
EYE STATE

Villisca, Iowa, June 1O.-Joseph
Moore. a leading villisca business
man, his wife and four children and
two visitors were found murdered to-
day at the Moore home. Their heads
mad been beaten to pulp and an axe
covered with blood and human hair,
found in the house, is supposed TO
have been the instrument with which
the crime was committed. All were
murdered in their beds. There is no
clew to the murderer. The dead:
Joseph Moore and wife.
Herman Moore IL years old.
Catherine Moore, 3 years old.
Boyd Moore, years old.
Paul Moore, years old.
Miss Edith Spillinger, 20 years old
Miss Blanche Spillinger. IS years
old.
Owing to the terrible mutilation ths
identity of the two women could not
at first be established. They were be-
lieved to be Mrs. vangiider and her
daughter, relatives Of the Moore's. La
ter they were positively identified az
the Spillinger sisters. daughters Of e
wealthy farmer living few miles
from villisca, who had been in attend
ance at a church entertainment here
last night.
No robbery was committed and it
is seems clear that only revenge could
have prompted the murderer, unless
the work was done by a madman.
Horses neighing in the barn at the
Moore home caused woman neighbor
to notice that no member of the fam
lily appeared to be up and about the
house. She investigated, and after
failing to effect an entrance to the
front door, called her husband, who
also failed The city marshal was
then summoned and the doors werc
forced.
Moore and his wife were the first
to be discovered. They we're lying in
their bed in a front room. Then came
the finding of the bodies of the two
guests, and later those of the children

ager of an implement concern and r

Chicago, June 1O.-The standard IF
Senator Cummins of Iowa, for republi-
can presidential nominee, was raised
today by his colleague, Senator Ken
yon, who arrived from Iowa full Of
enthusiasm for the Hawkeye candidate.
Senator Cummins now has ten dele
gates pledged to him.
Headquarters in the hotel where the
Taft and Roosevelt camps are located
we're engaged and the Hawkeye club
of Chicago assumed charge of the
campaign. Before the end of the
week the Iowans expect that more
than 1000 enthusiastic boosters will
be here to demonstrate their fealty to
Cummins. It was expected that be-
fore night the headquarters of Sen
ator La Toilette would be opened and
the Wisconsin men actively at work.
Possibility of the arrival in Chicago
of Colonel Roosevelt within the next
few days furnished the chief topic OF
discussion at both Roosevelt and Taft
headquarters with the beginning
today of the final week of prelimina-
ries for the republican national con-
vention.
This and the question OF what Ell
feet such action by Colonel Roosevelt
would have upon the pre-convention'
situation held the foreground to the
exclusion of many other matters Of
considerable Importance. Roosevelt
leaders did not agree in their opin-
ions as to what the former president
will do. A number maintained that
Colonel Roosevelt will not be in Chi
cago at any time prior to the conven-
tion while others stoutly asserted
that they had received positive infor-
nation that he will be here by Wed
nesdav or Thursday, at the latest
None of them, however would talk

Chicaso. June 10.-Postponementi
of the hearing of the contest in the
Fourth California district today
brought to high intensity the heated
conflict between the Taft ano Roose-
velt factions in the republican nation
al committee. The vote of SS to 1S,
by which the postponement was eff
fected on motion of Senator Crane
of Massachusetts, drew beyond any
possible doubt the lines between the
factions.
The negative votes were those OF
Knight of California, Borah of Idaho,
Burnam of Kentucky, Wright OF
Louisiana, Kellogg of Minnesota, Lit
tauer Gor Flanagan of Nevada),
Ward of New York, Capers of South
Carolina, Therson of South Dakota,
Lyon of Texas, Loose of Utah, Rogers
of wisconsin and Mccoy of the Phil
ippines.
The committee then took up the
case of the four delegates-at-large
from Indiana. 1t was expected that
the Indiana cases, and perhaps those
from Kentucky would be finished to-
day. The Indiana cases had been
looked upon as the first real test OF
strength. With former Vice Presi
dent Fairbanks heading the Taft del
egates-at-large and former Senator
Beveridge the leader of the Roosevelt
delegation the fight took on more
general interest tnan any of the 9th
er contests, aside from the issues in
volyed in it. The Indiana contests
involved 12 delegates: the four dele
gates-at-large and two each from the
First, Third. Fourth and Thirteenth
districts.
The Kentucky contests, which were
to follow Indiana's, involve the foul
the delegates-atlarge ana the two
each in the First, Second, Fourth
Seventh, Eightn, Tenth and Eleventh
districts-1S in all.
There also are on the docket thu
cases affecting the six delegates-at

the Fourth district of California
which was passed when reached las
week in alphabetical order. Th'
California case is Taft contest.
