ward retreat of the Mexican rebels
today in the face of the slowly ad-
vancing federal army removed by at
least two days the expected engage
ment in the vicinity of Escalon.
Advices from the rebel front at Es-
Gallon today stated that the insurrec-
tos were falling back on their strong
hold at Rellano, eleven miles north,
burning bridges behind them and 9TH
erwise hindering the advance Of the
federals. Rellano is admittedly the
best fortified place from rebel view
point.
Federal officials admitted that no
fighting was likely for another TWEEN
ty-four hours on account of the retreat
of the rebels.
The positions of the two armies
were relatively unchanged today ex-
oept that the main columns of the
federals moved up closer to its van
guard at Zavalza, the first station
south Of Escalon. The rebels embarked
orderly in troop trains at Escalon
early today and it is expected that the
federals will enter Escalon tonight
or tomorrow early.
The manoeuvers of the federals
south of JuareZ are being closely
The Juarez garrison is rap
idly being reinforced by troops from
the south. 1t is reported that General
who first took The town for
the rebels and then went south to aid
General Orozco, has been ordered
back to take charge of the defense of
Juarcz. Although General Salazar is
familiar with Juarez it is not be-
lieved that he will be risked away
from the main columns at this time.
The federal columns, which are sup
posed to be threatening Juarez ad-
vanced no closer today. Major San
chez, who commands the federals near
here. sent out scouting parties. One of
-hese came to within twenty miles OF
Juarez, opposite Clint, Texas. Here an
American officer In charge of the bor-
der patrol, saw them and reported to
Colonel Steever, who is in command of
he American troops along the border.
1t is not believed the federal forces
advancing along the Rio Grande will
attack Juarez until the columns COM
ng from Palomas. opposite Columbus.
Y. NJ, arrive to form a junction with
hem behind Juarez. 1t is probable
hat the two forces will unite at about
he same time the main engagement
occurs in the south.

Cincinnati, o.. May 1s.--ln most
bitter and scathing denunciation OF
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, President
Taft declared that the certainty OF
his defeat for the republican nomina-
ton must be a source of profound con-
graduation to all patriotic citizens;"
declared that his predecessor in the
White House would seek to wreck the
republican party if he Is not chosen by
the republican convention, and COM
pared Mr.. Roosevelt to Louis XIV, OF
France, who said. THE state? / am
it,"
The attack was In the form of
statement in which President TAFT
said:
"On Thursday last | gave a state-
ment 20 the press in which ] said that

mediate prospect of the election OF

the success of the course of consti-
tutional government seemed assured.
The delegates elected since that time
have confirmed this conclusion.
MIR. Roosevelt's speech at Cleve-
hnd shows him in such light that
the certainty of his defeat for the re-
publican nomination must be source
q profound s.eonapatuls .tina, to oil ra@
triotIc citizens who can now see the
utter wreck he would have made or

danger TO which the country would
have been exposed had there been any
chance OF his election to third

Seattle. May f3.--Two persons arr
known to have been drowned and
forty or more were injured today wher
the adjustable end of temporary pas
senger gang plant at the Coleman
dock dropped. precipitating sixty pas
sengers into the water as they were
preparing to board the Sound steamer,
Flyer, for Tacoma.
The dead:
MRS. @. V. LEARNED. Seattle.
CARL BRUDER, one-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. c. Bruder, Seattle.
Most of the injured were only
slightly bruised or cut by striking
against piling OF the hull of the Flyer,
when they fell into the water, and all
will recover.
The Flyer had just discharged her
passengers from Tacoma and was pre-
pairing to load for the IL o'clock re-
turn trip. The pier was crowded with
passengers who, in their eagerness to
get aboard, were pressing persons on
the gang plank.
A defective cog broke under the
weight of the crowding passengers and
the shock of the inch drop was suf-
ficient to strip the cogs and let the
end of the plank fall into the water,
the screaming passengers rolling and
sliding down the steep incline into the
water between the wharf and the
Flyer.
The water was dotted with frantic
persons struggling to reach the boats
which were lowered from several
nearby vessels.
The Flyer could not be moved be-
cause her whirling propellers would
have chopped the struggling persons
to pieces and il was difficult for the
small boats to get those caught be-
tween the vessel and the pier.
1t is believed that every one on the
gangway when the accident happened
is accounted for. but TO make certain
that none went to the bottom and
was caught in the piling. divers were
ordered to explore the spot thorough
ly.
After working two hours the divers
reported that they found no bodies at
the bottom OF the slip and the coro-
ner is confident that all who fell into
the water have been accounted for.
Newton Johns, coiored bootblacs,
leaped from the wharf when the ae-
cident happened and saved several
women. When Mayor George +. Cot
terill. who hurried to the scene. heard
of his conduct he sought the youth
and complimented him warmly, mucn
to the embarrassment of Johns, who
was busy polishing shoes.
G.. V. Learned. president OF Il luli-
ber company, was with his wife, who
was drowned. With their 3-yea- old
boy, they went into the water. but the
father and son were fished out in
time to be resuscitated.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. Bruder. whose child
was drowned. were rescued. although
Mrs. Bruder suffered severely and is
unable to leave the hospital.

New York. May 19.-Pubiication OF

George w. Perkins. the New York
financier, who, upon his return to Ne'v
York, issued a reply to the statement
given out at the White House last Fri

tary to the president. The statement
reads:
II have read Mr.. Hilles' version OF
the Harvester matter and fail to find
anything In 1t that in the remotest
degree answers my letter of April
29th. last, to Chairman Mckinley. II
Mr.. Taft and his managers had at any
time meant to be fair and square and
frank with the public in this matter.

gard to the Harvester Company dur
ing the Taft administration, especial
ly in the last twelve or eighteen
months.
The public Is being deluged daily
with the Taft version of how Mr..
Roosevelt held up Mr.. Bonaparte's
suit against the Harvester Company
and why; but great care is being made
to keep from the public all the knowl-
edge as to whether or not Mr. Taft
held up Mr.. Wickersham's suit against
the Harvester Company and why.
Full publicity regarding the whole
affair would enable the public to form
Its own judgment and reach its own
conclusion. Ii also would show what
Mr.. IIllles regards as proper favors for
"A private secretary to president
seeking denomination TO ask from the
Officers of a corporation threatened
with prosecutions by the self-same

ton to the democratic administration.
With the senate in control OF : two
thirds majority. and with situation
in the house which could very easily
have been made to produce two
thirds majority In that body, Govern
or Mcdonald would have been bound
hand and foot and would have been
absolutely helpless. The committee
OF thirty has prevented that situation,
and it is of course vitality important
o the governor hat it should remain
In power.
Only about half the democrats in
the house are now on the committec.
If the worst came to the worst IL
would be the easiest thing in the
world for the governor to throw all
his influence on the democratic MEM
bers into the balance and save the ba-
con for the committee. This proba-
bility will not happen, but 1t is by no
means an impossibility.
Any way you take it, the political
situation in the Legislature has DIS
tinct edge on anything ever known Tor
being complicated.
