IAF1'S REPLY
 ID SENATE
SENDS SENATE HIS ANSWER ON LODGE RESOLUTION ON THE
 JAPANESE QUESTION.
Denies That Japan Has Secured a coalng Station at Masdalena 5ay--Latter Country Has No
 Base on Pacific Coast.

Washington, April 4.-Pfesident Taft's answer to the Lodge resolution calling for information as to the re- ported establishment by Japan of a naval base on Magdalena bay, in Mexico, will be designed to set at rest the constant rumors of Japanese col onization in North America and will he a distinct blow at the bugaboo of a war with Japan.
 The presidents answer probably will be sent to the senate tomorrow. Although 1t was denied tonight that Senator Lodge was acting in sym pathy with the administration. 1t was admitted the president will make use of his resolution to set at rest recur- rent reports of friction with a friend ly power.
 Chairman SuIzer of the house for eign affairs committee, after a talk with President Taft today. declared the Lodge resolution was the mer- est buncomb" and that Japan had ac- quired nc rights for q naval station from Mexico.
 Huntington Wilson, acting seere- tary Of state, had a short conference with the president about the reply to the resolution. It became known that the answer will be lacking in sensational features and at the state department it was said the response would tend generally to discredit re ports of Japanese designs on Mexican territory.
 ''The story that Japan" said Mir Sulzer, Tor any syndicate acting for Japan, has acquired rights, directly or indirectly, at Magdalena bay, or else where in Mexico. has no foundation in fact. l speak adyisedly. In view of our well settled policy. the asser tion that Japan has acquired bas' on the Pacific coast of Mexico re flutes itself and is too absurd for SC rious contradiction by Mexico or by Japan
 The Lodge resolution is well un derstood by those on the outside how ever It will do no harm and when the answer is officially filed the al mosphere will be cleared and we will hear no more Of Mexico ceding to Japan a naval base on the Pacific. "

Campa,s Recent Defeat.

Mexico City, April 4.-News dis patches received here from the rebel headquarters at Jiminez bring addi tional details of the defeat of Campa the revolutionary commander, who was driven back from Parral Tues day by a superior force of federals.
 Campa left Jiminez Saturday with about TOO men who were divided in to two columns He reached his po- gsition close to Parral Monday and, having occupied a nearby hillside with his artillery, opened fire upon the town His position exposed him to the federal fire which eventually com pelled him to withdraw. He quite the exposed position Monday and on the following day encountered a far larger force of federals than he an ticipated. stating General Te1lez was in command with nearly 1000 men.
 The repulse of the rebels at Par ral is expected to materially change General Orozcos plan of operations. He had expected to take that point easily, leaving himself free to move against Torreon.
 With the federals strongly placed at Parral, it will be necessary to prepare for an encounter much near CT Jiminez and it is anticipated the federals will be able to regain all of the ground lost in the fighting of two weeks ago.
 The situation places Orozco on the defensive
 As an indication of the feeling of assurance of fedegal success, the governmental offices were closed practically all of today in observance of the holidays preliminary to Eas. ter. The cabinet ministers who have been kept busy for weeks paid little attention to affairs of state and went home after an early visit to their offices.
 One press dispatch from Jiminez tells of message sent during the fighting Tuesday by General Campa to Orozco, advising the latter that he expected to eat dinner in Parral that day. The dispatch adds that as a matter of fact General Campa was obliged to hasten back to Jiminez in stead, and arrived there late for sup npT
