U. s. Soldiers
 Fired Upon

| DOUGLAS. March, 3-No further developments have occurred here since the exciting events of yesterday morning when Lieutenant Nicholson aud bic patrol of Is U s eoldiers were fired upon by Mexican federal sol- diers about 3 miles below the city When the Lieutenant sent for rein- forcemepts, 200 more U soldiers en- csmped here were sent to the scene and engaged the Mexican soldiers for nearly half an hour, it being estimated nearly 2,oO0 shots were fired by 10th sides.
 The Mexiesns numbered about 70 aud were about 500 yards away, most. tIy bid in the bushes.
 The U 5 command had strict or- dsrs not to cross the line and were un- able to do much execution.
 The cause Of the shooting is . mys- tsry. The Mexicsns were federsls and the Agua Priets version is that they had just previously had . bru.b with Maderista forces when the U s troopers appeared and the shooting continued thinking they were part of the same band
 The only casualties were one Mexi- can shot in the shoulder and is not believed dangerously injured. Some of ihe bullets reachtd d Douglas but no damage done.
 General Sslazar sent word 10 the 'Agus Priets garrison that 600 more troops would arrive tomorrow to guard the city against attack of Ms- dero sympatbize,s in Sonora.

CHALLENGES PRESIDENT
TO TELL MEXICAN POLICY
Maj. Gillette Says Mr. Wilson Has
Never Given Real Reason for At
titude of United States.

Challenging President Wilson to tell his
real reason" for not recognizing the
government Of Gen. Huerta in Mexico,
Maj. Cassius E. Gillette, L. S. A.. re-
tired. yesterday afternoon opened series
of lectures on the southern republic at
the New Masonic Temple. Maj. Gillette
said that the President has never given
the American people a good reason for his
Mexican policy.
He declared that Gen. Huerta holds Of
flee in Mexico just as legally as did
President Roosevelt following the assas-
sination of President Mckinley, and that
it has been clearly shown that Gen.
Huerta is not an assassin He added
that the course of President Wilson is
with Mexico.
Saying that he made the statement
upon reliable information Mai. Gillette
also said that Sir William Tyrrel. secre-
tary to Sir Edward Grey, the British for
eign secretary, told President Wilson re-
Gently that Great Britain would not in
terfere with the policy of the United
States in Mexico. but would hold the
United States. not Mexico. responsible
for English losses since the revolution
began.
Maj. Gillette declared that the real rea-
son for the trouble in Mexico is the fact
that no taxes are collected there on pas
ture lands. Because of this, he said, the
great landowners are able to hold large
tracts of land, raise cattle and pay no
taxes. This condition keeps the peons or
Indians in a constant state of poverty.
he added.
No Constitutional Recognition.
Before John Lind was sent to Mexico,
Mai. Gillette said. it was suggested to the
President that he send an emissary to
Cen Huerta and propose that his govern
ment be recognized on condition that pas
ture lands be taxed, thus forming a basis
for reform. The administration replied
that there could be no conditional recog-
milton, he said.
Mai Gillette charged that there was no
union of the various bandit chiefs rum
ming the revolution against Huerta, and
that the entire fight is being run from the
Hibbs building here.
Regarding the oil situation in Mexico.
Mai Gillette said that it was his opinion
that the Madero revolution was backed
by American oil interests which We're
fighting the British interests OF Lord
Cowdray. He said that the Waters
Pierce Oil Company owns extensive oil
ard Oil Company owns some properties
Speaking Of the Mexican people, he
said that the great majority Of them are
sayages who neither read nor write nor
care anything about voting or taking part
in government He said that he doubted
whether per cent Of the constitutional
lists know what a constitution is or can
spell the word.
Mai. Gillette gave another lecture on
Mexico this afternoon and will give an
other tomorrow afternoon at 2:3O oclock
at the New Masonic Temple.

Overwhelming Force Is Near
Seaport. American Con-
sui Reports.
BATTLE NOW is EXPECTED
AT OJINAGA, ON BORDER
Believed Villa Caannot Ignore Fed
eral Stronghold-Movement
Against Town.

VERA CRUZ, Mexico. December 10
An Overwhelming force of rebels threat
ems to attack Tampico at any moment,
according to advices received by wireless
telegraphy this morning from Clarence
A. Miller. American consul at that sea
port.
JUAREZ. Mexico December To-
Events today indicated that Oiinaga,
sometimes called Preside del Norte. the
small Mexican village on the border op-
posite Preside. Tex, would be the scene
of the next important move in the Mex
lean revolution.
Rebel leaders were more than ever
convinced that Ojinaga, where the feo-
eral troops have concentrated cannot be
ignored by Gen. Francisco Villa. Within
the town are fortified practically all the
federal troops of the north, with most of
their important generals. Their retreat
thither avowedly was to obtain money
and provisions, because in the interior
they had been without pay and were on
the verge of famine,

Root on Arbitration Board,
ORGANIZATION IS NEEDED.
Important Factor in Road Building
Declares Speaker.

PHILADELPHIA, December 1O.-That
proper organization for the construc-
tion of public highways is a most i'm
portant factor was the opinion Of speak
ers who today addressed the annual
convention of the American Road Build
ers' Association. Delegates were much
impressed with remarks made by ]. De
Pulligny, director of the French mission
of engineers to the United States, who
told the convention that what the Amer
lean system of road building lacks is
organiza ton. He directed attention to
the roads of France, which are among
the best in the world, and said that to
organization both in acquiring the
money to build roads and their actual
construction was due Frances splendid
system of highways.
Much of the discussion in the conven-
ton today under the general subject
of organization was of a technical char
acter.
