TURN TO GUERILLA WARFARE

Chihuahua, Mexico, June 25.-General
Pascual Orozco, the rebel chief, has
decided to ask General Huerta, the fed
eral commander, advancing northward
with six thousand men, to agree to the
policing of this city by afrebel gar
rison whose neutrality should be re-
spected. General Orozco said he did not
wish to place the city with its foreign
residents in peril of a mob. Officials
at rebel headquarters are reticent, but
the intention to negotiate for the pos
sible abandonment of chihuahua is TAX
en- to mean, in connection with other
evidences of disorganization here, that
the revolution soon will pass from an
organized revolt into guerilla warfare.
The garrison at Juarez may be the
first to evacuate and begin guerilla fight
ing. II is practically certain there viii
be no big battle at Bachimha, forty
six miles south of here, as had been
expected. An orderly retreat is being
planned, and the destruction of every
bridge and cuIvert between Bachimba
and Chihuahua further TO delay the gov
ernment advance.
Efforts to convert into cash gold bull

indicate the desperate straits of the reb-
ell army Discomfort in the ranks and

A QUEER SITUATION.
Involving Possible Complications, Has

San Francisco, June ga peculiar
situation has arisen in California, re
garding the election of members of the
electoral college. Under the primary law
in effect in this state, the nominees of
the various parties to the state legisla-
ture will hold over and will on October
10 nominate the party candidates for
the electoral college, but the names of
presidential nominees will not appear on
the ballot in November.
In California, with the Republican po-
litical machinery dominated at present
by Theodore Roosevelt's supporters, the
electors may easily be Roosevelt men,
who would secure the regular Republican
columns on the ballot submitted to the
voters in November. In that event, II
the supporters of the president placed
an electoral ticket in the field. they prob
ably would have 10 do so by petition.

THE GAME OF KNAPPAN. .
A Murderous, Skull Cracking Sport
That Gave Us Football,

|
George Owen, lord of Kemes, &
| Welsh gentleman who lived in Penn
brokeshire 800 years ago, has left q
description OF the extraordinary game
Of "knappan," which seems to have
been the forefather of Rugby football
Two thousand foot, besides horse
men, he tells us, were frequently en-
gagged, and, as for the ground. 1t was
Il stretch of open country at least two
miles long and often much more. The
umpires who watched the goals were
mounted on swift horses.
There appear to have been no side
boundaries and no rules in particular,
except that 1t was not etiquette to
commit murder. The game was start
ed at 2 in the afternoon and lasted
until one side got goal or until
darkness fell.
The game began as follows:
THE combatants having come to-
gether, q crye is made. when all pro-
coed to divest themselves Of their
clothing, save only a thin pair of
breeches. If the player have but a
shirt on his back, in the fury OF the
game 1t is torn TO pieces"
The ball was small and made OF
wood, but the game resembled Rugby
in that the players ran with the ball
and when collared passed to another OF
their own side.

summoned three times to deliver the
ball. II he refused his head was
punched until he gave in. Our chron-
isler hints that, instead of the mere
fist, stones were sometimes used If the
player proved obstinate.
'At times" says the writer, "the
players fall by the ears, soc that some
times you shall see FIVE or six hundred
naked men beating in cluster togeth-
er as fast as fists can goe, soc that
you shall see two brothers, the one
beating the other, the man the master.
the friend against friend"
Spectators had to be uncommonly
careful. for IL one got meshed In the
titanic combat he was at once made a
player by lending him half dozen
cuffes."
Most extraordinary scenes occurred
at times. On one occasion a mounted
player got away with the ball and won
the match for his side and so much
honor and glory that he was anxious
TO repeat the performance.
But at the next match. much to his
chagrin. no one would or could pass
the ball to him, so presently he resolv-
ed on stratagem. He suddenly broke
from the crowd and began galloping
nway as fast as he could, pretending
that he had the knappan in his grasp.

from his bruised body. and he was left
to lament the entire failure of his
