GENERAL oRoZCO's HEADQUAR-
TIERS, MAPULA, Mexico July 4.-Under
cover of darkness the entire rebel army
withdrew early today from Bachimba a
distance of twenty-five miles north of
Mapula. which is but fifteen miles below
the city of Chihuahua. The rebels admit
their defeat attributing 1t to lack Of
ammunition. The whole rebel army will

abandoning the city of Chihuahua to the

ment troops at daybreak today renewed

tilities yesterday Twenty-six cannon and
sixteen machine guns distributed on the

taneously.
The rebel artillery In comparison seemed
defective and erratic.
Losses in the first days fighting ap-

wounded on both sides. The rebels had
the combined assaults Of infantry and
cavalry supported by the deadly fire of
the artillery had forced them to yield
strategic hills and ranges overlooking the
canyon.
The federal troops carried out orders
with mathematical precision. Conspicu-

California Leader
Says Roosevelt is
to Work for Wilson

All of the through trains en- route to
the Pacific coast carried extra sleepers
yesterday, filled with delegates and
shouters who had been in attendance
upon the democratic convention at Balti-
more.
A big bunch came In early on the Rock
had car to themselves and most of
them were from Utah and Colorado Both
the Northwestern and Milwaukee No. /,
carried extra sleepers. A good many of
the delegates are yet to come, for after
the close of the convention, they scattered
through the east, returning home by easy
stages. A considerable number of them
prior to leaving Baltimore, expressed the
opinion that they would go down to Sea
Girt and call upon Candidate Wilson and
pay their respects
All of the delegates returning yesterday
We're enthusiastic over the outcome of
the convention, especially those from
California
Asked If Colonel Roosevelt would push
the organization of a third party, Mr..
Mcintosh, a democratic leader from Cali
fornia said: .
Most assuredly no! There is no reason
why he should. He and Wilson stand for
the same things and the same
reforms. They are both working to Sc
cure the same ends, that Is, to make
this a government nv the neonla and for
the people.
Roosevelt knows that should he go in
to the fight while he could not win. he
might take enough votes away from Will
son to elect Taft. He is too shrewd
politician and too loyal citizen to do
anything Of the kind. While he probably
will not stump the country for Wilson and
he will do all in his power to
aid and secure their election"

On the Back Seat AGAIN.

The Nobel roll of honor affords a
unique opportunity to see which ma
tons are doing the most for civiliza.
ton as indicated by the 65 individuals
who since 1901 have received this
award. Germany has been so hon.
ored sixteen times and stands at the
head in all five departments except
peace. France stands second with ten
Nobel prizemen, followed by England
with seven and Holland with five.
Then come Russia, Italy, Switzerland
and Sweden with four each; and Den
mark, Spain, Belgium, Austria and the
United States with two each; and
Norway with one.
1t is humiliating to American pride
to be put in the lowest rank with
countries as small as Denmark or as
backward as Spain; the justice of the
awards we do not question. The
trouble goes farther back than that.
We have not achieved, and we have
not deserved

looks as If the Jerusalem nveryman
had rather the worst of it. In the sum-
mer time he is taxed a plaster extra
to pay for sprinkling the streets.
Hussein Effendi quantity says In his
letter to the New York controller that
Jerusalem's income appears rather
small considering there are from 3d.
900 to 10000 souls! The explanation
is found partly in the fact that the
municipality does not concern itself
with the maintenance of schools or
police force, these belonging to the
government of the province of Jeru-
salem. Nevertheless, if the good Hus-
sein Effendi is not accustomed to fig
uring in millions and billions and tril-
lians Of piasters, it would seem that
a brainstorm is brewing for the Far
East against the time when Mr.. Prem
dergast sends his statement.
