Huertd TOttering. Is the Re-
port From Capital.
TAMPlC0 NlENACfD BY REBELS
Capture of Mazatan, on West Coast,
Leaves Salina Cruz the Only Port
Through Which Arms From Ja-
pan May Be Landed.

Mexico City, Dec. There is strong
,trong feeling here that General Hu-
prta Is close to his last stand. The
government has been forced to admit
the fall of important northern strong
holds. and 1t was also admitted that
the rebels had done such damage to
the railroad and telegraph lines that
concerted movements Of federal troops
ire barely possible.
1t is believed that the government
has received word that Guaymas has
fallen as we'll as Mazatlan, the other
Important western port. II this is true
the government will have hard work
getting to the capital the big shipment
Of arms and ammunition reported to
be on the way from Japan.
If Guaymas has fallen the only I'm
portant Pacific port remaining in the
hands Of the federals is Salina Cruz.
The rebels have further disorganized
the federal campaign by the seizure of
all the vast oil property of the Cow
dray syndicate In the iuXpan district
The only way fuel oil can be shipped
from the port for the use of the Ma
tional railways Is by water.
The Constitutionalists under General
Candido Aguilar have threatened to
destroy the oil wells If the company
continues to ship oil for the use Of the
railways. The company is reported to
bo uialdnI tn ha nIc hot thnx
will supply no more oil to the National
railways. that no appeal will be made
to the Huerta government for protec-
ton and that the taxes will be paid to
the rebel chiefs.
The National railways use only oil
for fuel, and the cutting off of the sup
ply means that any considerable mill
tary movement in that district must
be abandoned by the government.
Tampico In Danger.
Tampico is said to be in grave dan
ger of capture. 1t is reported that
big body of rebels in the oil district
left Xicotencatl presumably to cut the
railroad from San Luis Potosi, having
already destroyed the Tampico- Mon
terey road. This would completely
Isolate Tampico from any land ap-
proach of the federals.
1t was reported that General Huerta
had obtained a loan of 100000 pesos
from some unidentified source. The
belief here is that if the report is true
the loan will serve only to delay the
financial crisis a few weeks more at
best.
General Banquet has assured Cen
eral Huerta that the war department
debt of 22,000,000 pesos would be paid.
but where these funds are coming
from has not been revealed. Instead Of
being paid with cash on Saturday, as
Is customary, the employees of the Ma
tional railways received checks to be
cashed today. The obligations Of the
National railways must be met this
month, which causes much concern in
government circles. The government
finds it more difficult daily to raise
funds.
The Japanese minister has requested
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the American
| charge d'affairs, to protect japanese on
the west coast. After consulting with
Washington Mr.. O'Shaughnessy replied
that American protection would be ex-
tended to japanese subjects.

for two hours before rescuers could
reach him, but they were helpless until
ditch had been dug through the snow
and frozen earth, through which he
was taken out.
Both the engine and the smoking car
we're overturned. The express messen.
ger, Francis Noonan, was buried under
the car. but escaped injury. The pas

DIVES TO HIS DEATH.

Fearing Sanitarium, John Churchill,
inventor, Takes Fatal Plunge.
New York, Dec. 1.-Fearing that he

two years, John Churchill, an inventor,
thirty-four years old, committed sui
eide by leaping out of the window Of
the home Of his brother at 129 St
Johns place. Brooklyn.
Churchill had patented a number Of
inventions, but had concentrated his
mind on making. an absolutely nonre-
fllable bottle. So hard had he labored
on the invention that his mind is said
to have become affected, and two years
ago he was sent to the sanitarium
where he was kept in confinement.

MORE ABOUT ICE.

The good wishes of the citizens of
every community that has found itself
whenever there has been shortage of
ice at the mercy of the ice dealers will
90 out to the city of Willimantic,
Conn, which voted recently to 90 into
the municipal ice business and appro-
priatcd $4,000 at a special session of
the voters to erect ice houses and pro
vide machinery and tools to harvest
the ice crop during the coming winter
Ice has been n much discussed topic
in Wllmanitic for many years and
this year the two men in control of
the local ice business put up their
rates in common with the other ice
dealers of the country though it APP
pcared on investigation that they had
ice enough and their excuse was the
old one Of supply and demand. How
ever. rs the IIolvoke Transcript points
out, there seems to be one flaw in the
decision already. Willimantic propos-
Is to place itself at the mercy of the
weather conditions locally and cut
natural ice only. In view of what has
happened twice within the past five
years, it would seem better for Will
mantle to go the limit at once and
erect an artificial ice-making establish
ment The initial cost would certainly
| be greater but after that the cost of
operation becomes fixed and most i'm
portant of all, there can be no short
age Of the product. Sooner or later
there will come year when Whitman
tic viii have to install an artificial ice
factory 1t will cost as much then as
now and the money invested in the
sheds and machinery for harvesting
natural ice Will be just so much vast
| ed.

EFFECTS OF THE DROUGHT.

Reports from various and widely
scattered points in Vermont and New
Hampshire Indicate that the drought
has reached serious proportions. Al
though not noticeable in Brattleboro
the water is lower in the Connecticut
river than it has been in years, and as
a result Il portion of the International
Paper company : plant at Bellows Falls
has been obliged to shut down. The
water supply in that town is also
dwindliug and houscholders have been
asked to be as economical as possible
in the use of water. The western part
Of the state, especially Rutland coun-
ty, is experiencing one of the worst
droughts in many years. While all
streams are low in the eastern part
and the dry weather is affecting gar
dens, the situation is much better than
in such towns as West Haven and Ben
son and in other clay districts Rut-
land has at present plenty of water
for ordinary needs, city officials say,
but the use of hose is forbidden.
There is a long stretch of country
north and west of Fair Haven where
the ground is baked and scanned and
hardly a well can be found that has
any water in it. All small streams
have ceased to flow and farmers are
drawing water many miles for their
stock and in some eases still farther
for drinking purposes. In one instance
a man makes daily trips of 10 miles
to Whitehall, n. Y, to secure water
fit for household purposes.
