 The correspondent of Fl Imparf |. reporting tonight from Jiminez, i'd the itinerary of the rebel forces sent south from Ahumada 10 days ago had been ascertained To get through the federal lines the rebels had to dodge the command of General Rabago, which was sent from Casas Grandes 10 San Buena Ventura with orders to cut off the restreat of Orozco into Sonora The correspondent added that force of rebels. probably the band which slipped past General Rabago. was camped near Caballos. so miles north of Torreon. The leader of this band served notice on the station agent at Caballos that passenger trains to and from Chihuahua would be permitted to run, but there must be no movement of troop trains or military supplies.
 Federal forces are reported to have been dispatched from Mapima and Torreon to oust the band.

Of- ficial reports to the war department tell of minor engagements with rebels near Matamoros Official dispatches stated that these were the forces of Cheche Campos and Del Toro. It was not gen orally known that these bands had worked that far north.

APPEALS 100 CASES TOSTATE TAX BOARD
Citations Will Be Issued
 From Montgomery
LONG AND EVANS HERE
Dates Will Be Set for Hearings and Property Owners Will Be Given Chance to Present
 Their Cases

The state tax commission met yester day in Birmingham to take up the cases appealed from the rulings of the Jeffer- son county board of revenue by Captain J. V Allen, back tax commissioner of Jefferson county.
 About 100 cases were cited by Captain Allen to the commission. all of which he contended had not been raised sufficiently by the board of revenue or had not been raised at all. The commission took up these cases yesterday and after investiga- ton reassessed the property dismissed the appeal, as the case may be. They will conclude there labors this morning,
 l will leave the city for Montgomery
 here as soon as the papers can be pre- pared, will issue citations, set a dat. for hearing the cases and will return to hear objections at the date set in the citations
 The members of the commission in the city are Lee Long. chairman; Judge A. A Evans. Secretary Lloyd anu Assistants Murray, White and Eugene O'lsrien. At tending the meeting of the commission are Captain Frank White and Jesse Stalllngs, special counsel employed by the state 10 prosecute these cases The commission was in session until late hour last night, in order to complete the work
 The state commission held their sessions in the law library of Stallings & Dren- nen, in the First National bank building. The extent of their findings could not be ascertained, but 1t is understood that they will make some substantial raises over those allowed by the county board of revenue. The raises will not be known until the citations are issued from Mont somery, and the property holder will have the opportunity to contest the raise as they had before the board of revenue.
 Lee Long. chairman of the board, stated last night that an early date would be set for the hearing and that no raises would be made by the board unless 1t was clearly shown that the assessment was too low.
 In speaking of the agitation against the tax raises MT. Long stated that it would be just as reasonable for the citizens of Jefferson county to say that before you can convict the murderers and cut throats that are confined in the jail of Jefferson county awaiting trial you must first convict every other criminal con- fined in the other county iaiis of the state, as it is to attempt the argument that Jefferson county should not be re- quired to comply with the law as regards taxation until the other counties of the state has been raised to the 6o per cent valuations. He said the board would tions would be issued unless 1t was showed conclusively that the property valution was too low.
