LAST NIGHTS PANIC AMONG
FEDERAL TROOPS CAUSED BY
SkIRMiSH REBELS.
CAP TURE one HUNDRED
United States Soldiers Force Fleeing
Federals Back Into Rio Grande at
Preside and Capture One Humid
red Who Were Washed Ashore.

Preside, Tex, Dec. 3O.-The fed
erals and rebels resumed lighting at
Ojinaga this morning. Daylight de-
veloped the fact that last nights
panic among the Ojinaga federals
had been caused by skirmishing
eighteen miles from the Ojinaga fed
erals, who have ben uneasy because
of the lack of pay and became ter
or stricken at the sound of firing
Five hundred of the federal sold
iers jumped into the river aiming to
cross into Texas, but the United
States soldiers stationed on the Tex
as side forced four hundred back
without leaving the water and cap
tured one hundred who were washed
ashore, later sending them back.
The fighting yesterday began at
Mulato which is twenty seven miles
east of Ojinaga, about 4:3O in the
AFTERNOON. A desperate battle ensued
there, the artillery fire of both arm
les being destructive.
About four thousand are engaged
on each side the rebels slightly out
numbering the federals. AS the reb-
els opened a desultory fire within
sight of Ojnaga this morning the
federals retreated to their innermost
trenches, apparently without ulti-
mate hope of winning.
Before retreating today, the fed
erals made several brief stands at
points within a few miles of Ojinaga
From the American side of the river,
the federals chances appeared slim.
1t is reported that the rebels have
received reinforcements today, which
will enable them to greatly out
number the rebels. 1t is rumored
that the rebel orders are to show
no mercy to captured federals and
to summarily execute Generals Oro-
zco, Salazar Rojas and Alanis.

F|NANC|ERS ARE
OPTIMISTIC NOW
AS THE YEAR NEARS ITS CLOSE
CHEERFULNESS is NOTICE
ABLE IN WALL STREET.

New York, Dec. 29.-As the year
draws to close, there is a wide con-
trast to the gloom and pessimism
that overshadowed it for nearly
fifty weeks and students of husi-
ness and finance are more cheer
full today than they have been since
the first day of 1913. The feeling
of cheer that had its birth in bank
ing circles little over a week ago,
when President Wilson made it
clear that he stands willing to meet
halfway the alleged viOlators of
the sherman antitrust law seems
to be more permanent now than it
was at first thought to be by the
Wall street wiseacres. The market
held up we'll during the week, al
though many cross-currents were
produced by heavy profit-taking, but
that is always to be expected after
such long periods of unrest and de-
preston.
THE bad money conditions in
Europe also for the past year were
bound to be reflected here, but as
it was explained by an astute fin
ancial Judge today, this is being
rapidly discounted, and the next
movement now must come in bust
ness circles. While business has
not responded to any significant de-
gree to the spirit of optimism no.
ticeable in Wall street, the general
belief is that it can be expected to
do as soon as the currency bill is
put into operation and peace in the
financial world has been restored
completely. Today's Washington dis
patches brought cheer with the in
dication that much less so-called an
thrust legislation will be attempt
ed than had heretofore been gener
ally expected and that the Admins
tration is desirous of having a short
session of Congress leaving the COM
munity free to adjust itself to eX-
isting laws, rather than to look to
Washington in constant dread of
still further legislative enaCtments
dealing with general business.
"A respite of this kind would
greatly be welcomed by all bust.
ness and if the program is carried
out along the lines now being fol-
lowed, much will have been done
to dispel the feelings that import
ant business ventures are to be
kent under harrassment from Wash
ington. The Presidents ability to
carry out his sound policies of con
structive business Legislation have
been proven; his desire to cooperate
with financial institutions during
the hours of their peril and his
determination to stand out against
feints and bluffs of would-be vio-
lators, have gone farther than all
other of his acts to relieve the
long existing stagnation, said one
banker today.
Just what effect this attitude of
the President will have so far asI
it bears on big business it is yet
difficult to say, but some bankers
are of the opinion that he is more
willing to hear their side of the
question than they thought during
the first months of his administra-
ton.
In describing the conditions that
have eisted for the last year many
writer's tonight term the last twelve
months as unusually perpleXing, but
wind up with optimistic prophecies
for business during the next twelve
Money is naturally close,
but this is explained by the heavy
something like $780,
100000, that must be made on the
first of the year
