JUAREZ, Mexico, Dec. 26.-General Villa, of the rebel army, is now en route to Mexico City to capture the capital of the republic from Provis- ional President Huerta. The federal forces are entrenched at Ojinaga, all ready to give the constitutional forces battle and are well supplied with ma chine guns and light artillery.
 The fate of Huerta depends upon the outcome of the battle to be fought in the next few days. If Gen. Villa is successful the rebels will soon be in possession of the capital, as the defeat will mean the demoralization of the federal army and probably the largest part of it will revolt, demand ing their pay, now many months in arrears.

evolved and formally submitted the scheme to the United States govern ment, would take place in the follow ing ingenious way:
 The United States. in return for Greenland, would give Denmark the island of Mindanao, one of the most important of the Philippine group. Greenland, it is represented by the Danes, is capable of becoming "a sec ond Alaska"
 The arrangement would simultan- eously confer Denmark's right to transfer Mindanao to Germany in re- turn for Schleswig, which includes the Danish provinces conquered by Prussia and Austria in 1864
 Information is not clear on this particular point, but evidently the Danish promoters of the transaction Lave canvassed the situation suffi- ciently to think that Germany might regard an extensive foothold in the Philippine islands as quid pro quo for rhe surrender of the Danish sec tions of Schleswig-Holstein.
 Germany might welcome larger place in the far Eastern sun than her present base at Kiau-chow, but it is g grave question if she would re- gard Mindanao as adequate compen- sation for 2 territory bought, like Alsace-Lorraine, with German lives.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Skeptical smiles today greeted the rumor that Denmark was trying to get the Prus- sian province Of Schleswig in ex- change for the American island of Mindanao, provided the United States would exchange the islandf or Green land
 The administration has just pledged itself 10 the independence of the Philippines, so that the first step in the transaction, involving the perma- nent transfer of one of the largest of the group to g foreign power, is almost inconceivable
 But from German point of view 1 those here in a position to know con slider the proposed exchange equally impossible. The bloody wars have been fought for the possession of the Duchy of Schleswig- -Holstein, the Duchy is essentially German, and the German Empress is Schleswie
 princess. Still more significant is the fact that .hr cession of Schlesw:,.
 would bring the Danish frontier with i !n ten miles vf the great Kiel canal
 connecting Germany's great naval base at Kiel with the mouth of the
 Tlbe river and the North sea.
