SECURE 100000 IN JEWELS
Diamond Store at Regina, Sask., Loot,

Regina, Sask., May l3-Wheatley
Bros diamond store was entered by
burglars who made a hole through a
brick wall into the store vault large
enough to admit of a mans entrance.
Once inside drilling and dynamite
was resorted to and the reward was
fully $4,000 worth of diamonds, 9TH
er precious stones and some valuable
jewelry. Judging from the method of
gaining entrance the work was that
of a professional gang and II must

Washington, May 13.-The makeup
Of the Republican national convention,
10 far as the original selection of dele
gates can determine it, will be prac-
tically settled within week. The
widely divergent claims of Taft and
Roosevelt managers make it apparent,
however, that a determination of the
actual control of the convention is
impossible i'm advance of the meeting
of the national committee June 6. The
committee will take up at that time
contests involving the seats of at least
164 delegates and 1t is not unlikely
that additional contest cases will be
announced by the time the committee
begins work.
Up to the present 7S6 of the LOTS
delegates to Chicago have been chos-
en-, according to Roosevelt estimates,
while the Taft forces record twenty
less. The differences arise over Mary
land, where the Taft managers declare
the control of sixteen delegates will
not be cleared until the state conven-
tion, and Kansas, where the Roose-
Welt records show fourteen have been
chosen and the Taft records ten.
Representative Mckinley, head OF
the Taft campaign, claimed 4S3 dele
gates for the president, and conceded
237 to Roosevelt. Senator Dixon, man
ager for Colonel Roosevelt, claimed
319 for Roosevelt and conceded 143 to
Taft.
The Roosevelt managers contend
that ia delegates are uninstructed,
including lightweight from New York,
and that 1874 are contested. Both cam
paign committees, in their tables, give
Senator La Toilette thirty-six dele
gates and Senator Cummins ten.
Preparations for the two weeks bat
tie at Chicago over the seating of con-
tested delegations are being completed
rapidly by the attorneys for both fac
tions. While but few contests have
been filed thus far with the national
committee the managers and their at
torneys will be ready with all OF the
sesss by May %, the date. on which

cual Orozco's advance guard of rebels
have been driven back toward Es
Gallon, the central base of insurrectos
in Northern Mexico.
Instead of being on the defense the
government troops have, within the
last twenty-four hours, pushed the at
tacks vigorously, forcing the rebels
northward nearly twenty miles to Co
nejos, about 200 miles south of Chi
huahua.
General Huerta. the federal chief,
has reached the front near Peronal,
but his camp could not be reached by
wire.
"The enemy are exhausted and hun
gry." said General Teller, over the
wire from the box car telegraph office
in the heart of bis camp.
They intended first to get behind
us, going east to Cuatro Cienegas, but
the opportune arrival of General Tru-
oy intercepted them, causing loss
OF more than one hundred dead. They
were routed shamefully and still are
being pursued.
"The enemy likewise were beaten at
Zearagosa and Lahuillo on the same
day. We found many OF their dead
and wounded as we advanced.
"They left behind many horses and
in their fight abandoned much ammu-
milton. We lost about ten or twelve
killed and a few wounded.
"Our intention is to press north
ward. Our troops are full of spirit;
their equipment could not be better.
1--WE have twenty-five pieces of
heavy artillery, besides many machine
guns, and ammunition that would last
for months"
Huerta has about 10000 men and
Orozcos forces number about 5000.
