Rebel Leader
Insolent in Reply.

1t was not until this morning that an
answer was received. Couched in in
solent terms, evidently intended to
sting the Americans into armed pro-
test, Rojas declared that II the Ameri-
can government chose to aid the fed

The rebels with a far superior force,
moved up during the night closer to
the little Mexican border town. Their
main army was to the southwark of
Aqua Prieta, the position having been
shifted slightly so that their fire Is
trained directly on Douglas.
The garrison of Aqua Prieta, having
needed the warning Of the American
troopers guarding the border, shifted
their two machine guns to the east edge
of the village, and made preparations to
defend against an attack from the east.
American troopers were sent out
earlier than usual today for border pa

Dual Tragedy.
FRIEND OF DEAD MIKADO.
HE DIED FOR HIS MEMORY
Shinto Religion Makes 1t a Vir-
tue To Give Up Life
For Friend.

TOXIC, Sept. t3.-Genersl Nogi
hero OF the Russian apanese war, and
his wife committed suicide here to-
night The dual tragedy was the re-
suit Of a suicide pact
The suicide of General Nogi and
his wife came as a climax to the flu
neral services conducted for Emperor
MutsuhitQ. The general was a devoted
friend Of the late mikado and it is be-
lieved that grief over the death of the
monarch drove the general to the de-
cisfon to commit suicide in accordance
with the Shinto belief that 1t is just
and holy to die in memory of a friend.
General Nogi was Ga years old and
MS wife was about three years his
junior. AS director of the japanese
operations against Port Arthur he won
undying fame.
Nogi shared with Field Marshal
Oya1ua the highest honors for the great
victory over Russia. The only criti-
cism which he received was caused
by the failure Of one of his flank at
lacks on the Russian forces at Mukden.
Nogi assumed full esponsibility for
this and was received with the high
est honors in spite of his mistake when
ne returned home from the war.
