denial has been sent to American
Ambassador Wilson at Mexico City by
Manuel Calero, the Mexican minister
for foreign affairs, of the interview
accredited to him declaring Ameri

invade Mexico.
Ambassador Wilson in dispatch
to the state department today said
Calero had declared his sentiments
were exactly the opposite of those
expressed in the alleged interview.
He also asserted he would not let
the matter rest with mere denial,
but intended to pursue a riged inves-
tigation.

Henry Seggerson, customs broker,
doing business in Juarez, complained
to American Consul Edwards today
that the Mexican rebels had seized and
confiscated $4,000 worth OF -four in his
warehouse in Juarez and asked re-
dress. He wired the same informa-
tion and request to Governor Colquitt
of Texas.
This afternoon the rebels succeeded
in importing 100000 rounds of am
munition, several cases of arms and
a machine gun barrel from Ell Paso
to Juarez. The United States tenn
porarily detained the stuff last night.

This evidently means that he re-

the subject. Captain Amundsen in

days. He then will go to Australia
and give a few lectures, afterwards
departing for Europe by the circuit
Gus route of Buenos Ayres, then
around Cape Horn, to Bering Straits
and through the Northwest Passage
and the Arctic ocean.
The confirmation of Captain Roald
Amundsen's attainment of the south
pole on December IA, 1911 received
today from the explorer himself, at
Hobart, Tasmania, sets at rest the
conflicting reports current on the
subject yesterday. A dispatch pub
lished by the Daily Express in London
Yesterday morning, dated Wellington,
N. H., declared that Amundsen had
stated that Scott had reached the
south pole. 1t was assumed that this
declaration indicated that Amundsen
himself had not succeeded in attain
ing the object Of his expedition, and
credit was given generally to the Brit
ish explorer.
Nothing hitherto had been heard
from Scott, and Amundsen now de-
nies that he said or telegraphed any
thing referring to his British rival or
his expedition. The honor for the
achievement of reaching the south
pole must now be given to the Nor
wegian explorer until Captain Scott

On his return Amundsen decided to

to go to tht north in an endeavor to
discover the Northwest Passage. He
prepared himself by undergoing a
course in magnetism and meteorology.
He sailed for the north from Chris

eight men, June 16, 1903. Proceeding

Lands at Hobart

London, March S.-Captain Roald
Amundsen states he will submit his
charts and all information concerning
his expedition without delay, accord
ing to dispatches from Hobart receiv-
ed by special correspondent at We'll
lington, N. z.
~E'he Chief Royal Geographical SO
cety accepts unqualifiedly Captain
Amundsen's claim that he reached
the south pole, and takes il for grant
ed that he was the rirsC explorer to
reach the goal, although Amundsen's
brief dispatch does not mention that
fact.
Geographers point out, however,
that Captain Amundsen and Captain
Scott may both have been there and
within a mile of each other without
knowing it, and scientists here are
awaiting further details before hc-
cepting definitely the defeat of the
= British expedition.
The message received yesterday by
the London Daily Express from Wei
lington in which Captain Amundsen
was reported as saying that Scott
had reached the south pole, was based
on telegram alleged to have been
sent by the Norwegian explorer, but
the authenticity of which Captain
Amundsen today denies.
In response to cabled instructions
to ask Captain Amundsen point blank
whether Captain Scott reached the
south pole, the correspondent Of the
London Evening Star at Hobart today
telegraphed the following statement;
"Amundsen refuses to say anything
on the question as to whether Scot
reached the south pole or not

Captain Amundsen has settled hi
plans to sail from Hobart within ;
week for Buenos Ayres. From there
he will go round Cape Horn to Sal
Francisco and then on to the Berinl
Straits. Then he will drift with th'
ice across the Arctic ocean and ex
poets to emerge at some point be
tween Greenland and Spitzbergen.
Captain Scott's agent in New Zea
land expresses the opinion that Scot
must have changed his plans and pre-
ceeded with new exploring and scien
tific work, thus possibly delaying hi
return some weeks.

BOTH MEET IN CONVENTION
COMMITTEES APPOINTED TO
FORM BASIS OF A PARTY
COMPROMISE
UNRESTRICTED DELEGATION
PRESIDENT TAFT ENDORSED BUT
AssEMBLAcE MAY NOT IN
sTRUcT FOR ANY MAN

Santa Fe N. NJ, March S-Both
the republican and the progressive
republican state conventions Of New
Mexico met this afternoon a.. Santa
Fe, the former at the Elks' theater
to select eight delegates and eight al
ternates to the Chicago convention
and the latter to propose basis on
which the two republican factions
can unite. The indications are that
an uninstructed delegation of Taft
men with the exception of two dele
gates will be sent to Chicago and
that the Taft administration will be
vigorously endorsed.
The biggest republican conventions
in the history of New Mexico, which
was called to order at 2 o'clock this
afternoon, signified the vast interest
that is being taken by the dominant
party in the national election. 1t now
seems certain that the delegates will
go to Chicago uninstructed and that
Taft and Roosevelt men will have
about equal rerresentationA A. B.
Renehan, who was selected as tenn
porary chairman. delivered an ele-
quent address, the kr synote of which
was harmony. His prediction of re-
publican success in the coming cam
paign, based on a now apparent GER
tainty of the union of all the ele-
ments of the republican party under
one banner, evoked the greatest en-
thusiasm.
The other temporary officers are:
secretary. Lorenzo Delgado; interpre-
ers, Luis Armiio and Nestor Monte
va 1t seems quite certain that B.
C. Hernandez of Rio Arriba county
will be selected for permanent chair
man and that the remainder of the
temporary organization will be made
permanent.
Interest centers about the action OF
the Bernalillo county and Sandoval
county factions. The so-called pro-
gressive republicans are known to be
much disgruntled with Governor Nc
Donald on the matter of appoint
lmehtsk and furthermore, a large ele-
ment in the boiling faction want to
come back to the old party. The
progressive republican convention has
appointed committee of five to meet
a similar committee to form a com
promise.
1t is safe to say that the temper
of the regular convention is that il
the boilers come back they must come
as regular republicans. Congressman
Curry has submitted a proposition
which is under consideration to send
a delegation to Chicago composed Of
one-half Taft and one-half Roosevelt
men. This will probably not be rails
ed in the convention, but in effect the
results aimed at by Curry will prob
ABLY be accomplished. Santa Fe il
crowded, the delegates to the con-
vention being augmented by nearly all
4 the members Of the legislature and 3

There is CONSERVATION in the ranks
of the democrats over the disaffec-
] ton of the Bernalillo and Sandovai

J publicans.

PROGRESS OF THE CHURCH IN
CHINA.

The remarkable progress of Catho-
licism in China within the last TWEEN
ty years gives us hope for new era
of still more numerous conversions
to the Faith. 1889 there were 542,-
664 Catholics, COS missionary priests
and 329 Chinese priests in the Celes-
tial Empire; in 1909, 1,21O,O54 Catho,
lies, 1879 missionary priests and 631
native priests. Within twenty years
the numbers had more than doubled.
The increase was 667,39O Catholics,

csc priests.
China has a Catholic University.
1t is located at Shanghai. The Jesuit
Fathers, who have charge of the
vicariate apostolic of Nankin, or
Kiang-Nang, which includes the
provinces of Kiang-Su and Ngan-Hai,
opened this university nine years ago
1t is an institution already famous
among the educated classes of China
and is known as the university OF

than five hundred students in it's three
branches of Philosophy, Sciences and

MACKENZIE.

The Right Rev. G. Breynat, Vicar
Apostolic of Mackenzie, Canada tells
us of the conquest of tribe Of Eskl-

reached by the missionaries. These
Eskimos were very shy, and distant.
They had a good reason to be- Ira
dition has it that in the 18th century
the explorer, Samuel Hearne, fell un-
expectedly upon their ancestors and
ruthlessly massacred the most OF
them. They never forgot that part OF
their history, and being of mild
peaceful disposition, instead of de-
Tending their camps against the in
trusion of whites or other Indians,
they would abandon all they had to
them and fee.
Their former enemies the "Dogribs'

formation of these terrible savages
produced by their conversion to the
Faith is an object lesson to them, and

There are no men so we'll equipped

They learn the language far more
thoroughly than all but very, very
few Professionals do; they learn even

deeply into Japanese history and char
