Rebels All at Jimenez.
Gen SalaZar, who started q force
southwest on the Parral branch TO
cUpy the town held by Jose de la Luz
Soto, stopped his men at Morita on re-
cetpt OF the news that the garrison
there had already without resistance
been added to the revolutionary forces.
The advancing force was brought back
to Jimenez. where Gen Campo and the
majority Of his force which has been
held at Santa ROsalia, reported. Only
a small garrison was left at Santa RO-
salia-
The fighting strength Of the force
at Jlmenez is now placed at near 4UUU
men. Should the federals advance TO
that point and attempt TO drive them
out, the fight probably viii be at long
range. The town Is located in level

advantage to either side, but such ad-
vantage as there is VIII belong TO The
rebels since they will be in position
to avail themselves of the protection
of the buildings.
~NO Fight North of TOrreOn."
The feeling at headquarters, however,
is that there will be no fight there. The
officials believe that they viii be able
to push the column south and keep the
fe1erals on the defensive Unless zen
Oyozco alters his plans Gen. RoJas viii
be sent north and east within the next
few days to attack Ojinaga defended
by Col. Jose de la Cruz Sanchez and
Gen. Sanjines. If these forces clash II Is
probable that 1T viii be south Of the
town. ROjas viii advance from here
on the Kansas City. Mexico and Orient
to a point in the Rio COnchO veIey up
which he will march until he encoCn-
tiers the government troops. The defeat
ing of the government troops at that
point will have the double advantage
to the rebels Of delivering to them IN

War Loan Assured.
Arrangements have been practically
completed for the strengthening Of the
revolutionary war fund The measure
decreed by governor Gutierrez for sloat-
ing a loan of 100000 pesos was ap-
proved by the permanent commission OF
the legislature, and at meeting OF
bankers merchants and private capital
lists today. the distribution OF the bonds
viii be made. These bonds Of 1000 each
will be for 10 years, drawing per
cent. Bankers regard the transaction as
one OF ordinary and not Improbable
business. At the time Orozco openly
espOused the revolutionary cause. the
bankers held meeting and agreed TO
advance a certain amount OF money
voluntarily to forestal anything like
forced loans. They then suggested that
in the future, moneys desired be legally
borrowed and guaranteed The action
now taken is in accordance with that
suggestion.
The Bonds Are Good
1t is pointed out that the bonds issued
by the state viii be good whether the
revolution is a success or not; that
the central government cannot repLdt-
ate or annul such an action The bank
ers would appreciate higher intere~t
but aside from that they are well
enough pleased 1t is not probable that
a majority VIII be subscribed by any
ono institution, but by tonight It Is be-
neved the new paper can be FOUND
widely distributed through the city.
