tween the vanguard of General

General Huerta ragged for hours today
through a cyclone of wind and dust
on the desert plains in front of Tor
reon, the objective point OF the
rebels.
Operating from Escalon as base.
where General Oro2co and his staff
are stationed, the liberal forces con-
tinued today to tighten their Gordon
around the heavily garrisoned and
fortified federal outposts at Borme-
iillo and Mapimi, both towns being
less than twenty miles from Torreon.
Though much skirmlshlng has been
In progress no battle had been fought
up to o'clock tonight. The fed
erals refused to be drawn from their
strong positions. There was hardly
an hour In the day. however that
the liberals did not feint at some
point to coax the entrenched federals
out into the open. but the latter re-
fused to take the bait
In the meantime, General Orozco
was massing his men and getting
them into positions where his artil-
lery could support them. by the
bringing up OF more guns and dyna-
mite bombs last night, Orozco be-
lieyes he can take the federal out
post by assault and drive those fed
erals not killed and captured into
Torreon for last stand. Notwith-
standing the intense heat. the men In
the field are in good condition. A
high wind has blown constantly for
several days, raising clouds OF alkali
dust and enabling the liberals to
move freely without fear of deteo-
ton.
just when the long looked for bat
tie VIII be fought is problematic. but
Il will not be until the evacuation OF

REBELS MEET STUBBORN
RESISTANCE At BEHMEJIIIO

Juarez, Mex, May 9.-Rebel lead
ers here tonight admitted that the
vanguard of their forces had at
tackled Bermejillo on the way to Tor
reon ana had met stubborn resistance
all day Reports of twelve hours of
skirmlshing have reached here.
According TO Col. Pascual Orozco.
Sr.. father OF the liberal military
chief, there are 5000 insurrectos en-
trenched near Bermejillo and about
5000 federals.
A dispatch from Escalon states
that courier from the front report
ed that the federals, strongly en-
trenched, were warding off the rebels
with a heavy fire. General Huerta.
commander OF the government troops.
Is said to be well toward the front
of his army directing operations.
Rebel officials here made public
additional details OF the recent fight
near Cuatro Cienegas, II now APP
pears that General Salazar was head
ing for MoncloVa, an Important rail-
road center north OF Torreon, with
the intention of flanking the federals
from the south. He met with unex-
pected resistance and in a desperate
fight with Trucy Aubert's force Sala-
zar was driven back westward along
the fdllrOud 10 CuatfO tleneRAS, whicn
town he stil holds. He was today
reported TO be making another as
sault on Monclova. Losses on both
sides were said to have been heavy.
Interest tonight centers OH Salazar's
ability To circumVent Monclova with
the idea of attacking the rear col
umns of the federals. While rebel
officers now here concede that Gen.
oral Salazar was beaten they regard
Il as a temporary rcpulse.
Tho political situation here was to-
night UNCHANGED. Emilio Vasquez
Gomez denied that he was a prisoner.
Some OF the rebel leaders declare
hat the hours of Gomez as provi-
ional president are numbered. 9th

RED CROSS LOOKS
INTO CIVIL WAR
PROBLEMS
Paper on Subject by Solicitor
General of State Department
is Given Careful ConSidera-
ton by Society,
rBy Morning Journal sneo,a, Lea,sd Wire


Washington, May 9.-The most i'm
portant question before the Interna-
tlonal Red Cross Society in session
here is What can the Red Cross do
in case of civil war, when internal
jealousies exist ?"
Joshua r. Clark, Jr., solicitor of the
United States department OF state, was
TO have spoken on the subject today,
but of so much value did the officers
of the conference consider his paper
and suggestions that a special COM
mittee was named to report on Mr.
Clark's paper before 1t is openly dis
cussed.
On account of the delicacy and i'm
portance of the problem they decided
IL would be better than submitting
the paper for such off. hand impromp-
tn discussion as it's presentation would
have involved.
The committee composed of repre-
sentatives from Germany, France,
Russia, Italy, Greece and Cuba, will
not have its report ready until next
week.
Solicitor Clark's paper suggests that
in time of civil war in a certain coun-
try the Red Cross of other nations
offer their assistance to be guided in
the work by the terms of nn agree
ment, conformabie in general with
practices which would be information
al in character.
Several recent charges by the rev.
olutionists in Mexico that their wound
ed were not receiving as much atten-
ton from the Red Cross workers as
they should, gives interest to the
question.
