within one week-one at Conejos and
the other yesterday at Rellano-the
rebel chieftain is having a difficult
time keeping his troops together long
enough to organize further resistance
to the advancing federals.
The Mexican consul today declared
that private advices he has received
show that the federal victory at Rel
lano was a sweeping one and that
Gen. Huerta Is following the feeirs
rebels and harassing them with az
the cavalry under his command.
Even the rebels at Juarez do NOT
attempt to conceal the fact that Oroz-
cos troops were routed. They excuse
the defeat. however, on the same
grounds they excused the rebel re-
verse at Conejos-that the federal ar
tillery was too powerful, making it inn
possible for Orozco's men TO get close
enough TO make their numbers count
II was still dark, Thursday morn
ing, when Gen. Huerta ordered his
force to open fire on the rebels in 'he
suburbs of Rellano. Before day Drobe
the federal front was blaze of fire,
Huertas entire force being engaged.
The federal artillery fire was particu-
larly deadly, quickly forcing Orozco's
gunners to run to cover, abandoning
their guns. This at once increased
the disadvantage of the rebels. while
II enabled the federal riflemen to pour
a CALLING rife FIRE.
Several times Huerta ordered his
infanfrymen TO charge hut each lime
Orozco's force succeeded in driving
the enemy back. Huerta also at.
tempted TO turn the eastern rebel
flank, but Orozco massed rifemen az
that point and repulsed the attempt
Toward nightfall. Orozco, realizing
the uselessness OF further attempts TO
defend Rellano against the federal ar.
tillery, and fearing further decima-
ton or his army, ordered a retreat an1
his forces withdrew.

UNITED STATES READY
TO INTERVENE TO SAVE
CUBA FROM ANARCHY
Step Will Not Be Taken, How
ever, Unless Drastic Action
Is Imperative
GOMEZ MEETING CRISIS
President Is Making Desperate
Effort To Put Down Negro
Uprising
GOMEZ MEETING CRISIS

WASHINGTON. May 24.-Uncle
Sam does not intend TO intervene In
Cuba unless II becomes apparent that
such step is absolutely imperative to
avert a condition OF anarchy beyond
the control of the Gomez administra-
tion, or unless it develops that depre-
dations upon Americans and their
property continues. AT present the ad-
ministration thinks the covert threat
OF an armed force will be enough,
This was the way officials here to-
day summed up the Cuban crisis.
Seven hundred marines are now en-
route to the American naval base at
Guantanamo. Three gunboats arrived
there today. In diplomatic parlance
this concentration is simply In case
necessity develop sfor protection OF
Americans near Guantanamo-just
now the fever spot of the rebellion.
In reality, It gives Uncle Sam the
nucleus OF an army of Intervention,
should this drastic step be determined
upon.
That President Gomez Is making a
desperate effort to quell the Negro up
rising was indicated In dispatches 10
the state department today. Govern.
ment troops are being rushed 10 the
dtsaffected provinces, and volunteers
are being enrolled. The Cuban lega.
tion today was informed from
Havana:
The situation is not serious. The
government is able to cope with IT,
In spite OF assurances of this nature
the fact that the Cuban government
established an iron censorship on all
war" news, was viewed significantly
here. Official advices estimated the
number Negro insurrectos all the way
from 400 to 5000. The majority are
unarmed. except for machettes.
State department officials were anx
fous that Cuba understand the signifi
canoe of the mailed fist" that Uncle
Sam has bared In the dispatch oi
marines, because II was felt that IL the
island government appreciated tn,
Significance 6f the move there would
be a hurried move TO crush the rebel
lion. On Jan. 16, Secretary Knox is
sued an ultimatum that the threat
ened trouble owing to the activity Of
the Cuban eVterans' association mus.
be headed off, under penalty of inter
vention Within three day sthe cloud
of rebellion was dissipated. While
there has been no mote" 10 the Cuban
government in the present case, the
administration action has been even
more emphatic. The hope here is tha,
the Gomez administration will see lis
significance and crush ont the dis
order.
The United States officially does not
want to intervene unless IL is absolute
ly necessary. because such move
would probably cost many lives and
an enormous sum Of money. The sec
ond Intervention totalled up to eight
! figures.

Teachers Names Missing In

Objection In Evidence To Dis
missal of Supervisor

gHILvERS MAY REMAIN
Miss Ellen Beane. Central high.

Miss Ellen Beane, Central high.
James Kelly, Central high.
Thomas Chilvers, supervisor OF
music.
Miss Ellen M. Sheeran, princi-
pal Tilden school.
Miss Alice V. Guysi, supervisor
of drawing
Miss Janette Guysi, assistant
supervisor of drawing.
j. Remsen Bishop, principal
Eastern high school.
The foregoing teachers were not
recommended for reappointment by
the committee on teachers and. schools
Of the Board OF Education in the reg
ular meeting, Thursday night. All
the other teachers were recommended
for reappointment. Thursday night.
All the other teachers were recon-
mended for reappointment, but the re
port was laid on the table for two
weeks. In the meantime, the cases of
the seven teachers whose appointment
is being held UP, Will be taken under
consideration.
The name of Mr. Chilvers was not
included in either list when the mat
got motion through, placing Chilvers
on the list for reconsideration.
Inspector Condor told The Times,
Friday morning, that there was d
plan on foot to abolish the Office of
music supervisor. because of a belief
that the teaching OF music was sort
Of fad. He-also said that some OF
the inspectors plan to abolish the
teaching of drawing in the public
schools as WELL II is not believed
that the sentiment OF the board is
against dispiacing Mr.. Chilyers. whose
competency has not been questioned.
"A number of the inspectors. and
/ am one of them, think that the
teaching of drawing should be con-
fined to the Cass technical high
school, said Mr. Condon. There
are rany pupils IN the public schools
who will never make any headway
with drawing; they are just wasting
their time at It,"
The board also PASSED a resolution
empowering a committee to search
for candidates for the superintend-
ency of the schools, in the event that
Sup:. Martindale be ousted In the
July meeting.
The reason for not recommending
Miss Sheeran for reappointment lies
in the fact, according TO the inspec-
tors that her health is bad.
No reason is given for the holding
up OF the reappointment of Mr.. Kel-
ley and Miss Beane, but fault is said
to be found with the management of
Mr.. Bishop. The latter, the inspec-
tors allow, is above fault-fnding in
regard to his educational equipment.

New York, May 2i-Stagnation such
as is often witnessed during midsummer
overlook today's stock market The first
hour brought very moderate degree of
activity, particularly in the low priced

averaged little more than 10000 shares
an hour. For long periods the ticker
failed to record any transactions. even
the pooled" shares relapsng into utter
quiet with the balance of the list De-
spite the dullness, sentiment seemed to
be mildly optimistic. the change being
predicted in part on the negative fact
that there was no selling pressure. Dur
ing the morning there was violent up
rush in the Tobacco shares, especially
American Tobacco, which rose seven
points, but at midday practically all this
gain was lost. Other and more OBJ
scuFe stocks rose from one to two points
but as usual their rise failed to elicit
any pronounced response elsewhere For
the rest of the day the market dragged
along HstlessN, even the adoption of the
subway plan by the local authorities fail

Railway Business for March.

For 80 per cent. of the steam railway
mileage OF the United States the aggre-
gate of the operating revenues for
March showed an increase of $1266l ,901
as compared with March, f91L Operating
expenses showed an increasezof S12. i52. 394
and net operating revenue an increase of
$500. 5O7.
This increase in the total of net oper-
ating revenue was due solely to the
larger returns incident to an increase in
railway mileage. When the returns are
measured by the average per mile, the
only proper basis for comparison. the net
operating revenue shows a decrease. The
average was $306 per mile of line for
March, 1912, and 1909 for March, 1911 This
average for 1911 was 1913 per cent. less
than for March, 1910
Railway taxes for March amounted to
S9,576575, or $44 per mile, an increase of
per cent. over March, 1911.
These compilations were made by the
Bureau of Railway Economics from re-
ports of the railway companies for the
month in question that had been filed
with the Interstate Commences Commits
sion prior to May 16s
