which might involve all the maritime
nations in the world and which
would revolve about the Suez and
Panama canals, was predicted today
in Washington by officials who have
watched the development of word
interest in the Panama canal bill,
now awaiting approval of President
Taft
According to the report that
reached the state department today,
the directorate of the Suez canal has
decided to reduce rates through the
canal.
In official circles this notice was
regarded as the first retaliatory step
against the free tolls provision for
American ships through the Panama
canal. The announcement of the
proposed reductions through Suez
appeared in nconspicuous notices in
American newspapers The notice
was to the effect that after the first
OF next year the transit dues of the
Suez canal would be reduced so CEN
times bringing the toll for loaded
ships down to 6.25 francs. This is
the precise equivalent to the SIPS
maximum tolls which the Panama
cana, act prcseiibed for vessels
passing through that waterway.
Professor Emory p. johnson,
whose exhaustive investigation of the
financial aspect for the Panama ca
nal as special commissioner for the
war department, formed the basis for
the action of the congressional com
mttee in fixing the canal rates, said
that if the Panama project was to be
a success financially and CONNER
cialy. its tolls should be lower than
those of the Suez canal.
This was on the basis that the
Panama route would secure at least
minor share of the shipping be-
tween Europe and the Pacific ports
of Asia. Even lower tolls at Pana-
ma, he said would not draw away
from the Suez canal a large part of
the Oriental trade. because of traffic |
opportunities. the price of coal and
other supplies which have a deter
mining effect upon the selection of
routes

of the rurales Is at Magdalena south
of Nogales. Ariz. Rebels have cut the
road to the north and to the south
of Magdalena. where General Roster
litzky is stationed with 500 ruralcs.
This happened today when destruc-
ton of the southern Pacific of Mexico
between the international border and
Hermosillo. the state capital of So
nora was begun by rebels in unknown
numbers. A train with 100 of the
rural police from Magdalcna is
stranded between burned bridges. In
view Of his record as fighting man,
il is believed the veteran Of many In

will sally out to meet the rebels with
the cream Of Mexico's fighting force,
the rurales.
Details of what occurred south Of
Nogalcs were received at the Juarez
office of the federal telegraph lines
before the wires were cut early today.
Receiving report that rebels were
congregating along the railway. Cen
cra kosteritzky wired the assurance,
Have no fear" Within five minutes
after these words came over the wires
it was reported that 'wenty-six bridges
had been burned along the railway.
Then all communication stopped.
1t is uncertain what group of rebels
invest the district north of Herinosll-

The report that the road had been
cut south of the state capital causes
some anxiety here as the road from
Hermosill runs directly south to
