Disposition of Rebels Perplexing.

The disposition of the Mexican rebels
who are deserving across the boundary
into the United States, or are being
chased across by the federal forces,
threatens to become a very perplexing
problem. Without precise knowledge on
the point at the War Department. 1t is
assumed that most of these rebels, and
certainly the members of OroZco's per-
sOnal staff and his father who were cap
tured recently by Capt. Mitchell at Pre-
sidio, Tex. remain in the custody of Gen.
Steever. He cannot keep them indefi-
nitely.
1t is expected at the War Department
that they will be turned over to officers
of the Department of Justice, or released

Mining Town Captured.

Batopilas, a mining town in Chihuahua,
manly developed by ex-Gov. Shepherd
OF this city, has been captured by the
rebels. who are demanding 1900 pesos
from the Batopilas Mining Company, ac-
ccrding to dispatch received at the
State Department today.
1t is reported from Nogales that train
service will be re-establisEed southwark
today from Guaymas.
The local authorities at San Pedro
Maren have promised to make a thor
ough investigation of the death of Jacob
Meyer. who was found by his neighbors
last Saturday with his head severed. The
motive for the murder probably was
robbery. and no political significance is
attached to it. Tampico and Ensenada
report that no disturbances attended the

cities.

Question Decided by the Board.

Observe that that was the only ques-
ton submitted to them. and that was ex-
actiy what the people who wanted to use
benzoate Of soda for wrong purposes
wanted to limit the inquiry to. These
gentlemen had to say that benzoate of
soda in itself is not harmful to the HUI
man system. as l believe it is not But
they were not asked this question: Can
benzoate of soda be used to conceal putre-
faction? Can it be used in things that
have gone bad to conceal the fact that
they have gone bad and to induce people
to put them in their stomachs after they
had gone bad?
They were not asked that question, be-
cause If they had been they would have
said: Yes, it can be used in that way.

In that way"

Could Not Get Prisoners.

Although ii has been suggested that the
Mexican government might seek to have
some of these men delivered by extradi-
ton proceedings. the officials assert that
no such attempt would succeed. On the
collapse of the Diaz government Madero
sought to secure the extradition of one of
the jefes polidcos of an important Sonora
town who had fled to Texas. on a charge
of murder.
United States commissioner in Texas
honored the demand for the extradition,
but when the case was appealed to
Washington, Secretary Knox vacated the
order and released the man. He held
that the acts charged against him We're
committed in his official capacity and
were purely political 1t is not doubted
that the same policy will be followed in
the case of the OrOzcos, If their extradi-
ton was sought.
1t is possible that these men may be
tried in the United States, not for any act
committed in Mexico, even the alleged
killing of a helpless American prisoner of
war, but on charges of violation of the
neutrality laws. in using American terri
tory as a base for hostile operations
against a friendly country.
Des Moines Expected at Tampico.
The cruiser Des Moines, the first
American warship to appear on the east
ern coast of Mexico in more than a
year, is expected at Tampico today.
The State Department made it clear
that while United States warships are
expected to extend protection to Amer
lean or other foreign citizens in case
local authorities could not protect them,
their commanders have been strictly en-
joined to take no part in the fractional
fighting or Quarrels incident to the revo-
luton.

ports. She will be the first United States
