REBELS ARE CONSIDERING
OPERATION OF RAILWAY

The systematizing and operation Of such
portions of the National Railways of
Mexico as lie within their control is
the proposal the constitutiUnalists are
considering. according 10 advices received
here yesterday.
The revolutionists claim to have nearly
half of the entire mileage of the National
Railways under their control in Northern
and Eastern Mexico, and this is believed
to be the fact. although much of the
road has been so damaged as to be in
capable of operation at present. 1t has
been proposed, however. to organize into
a working system the lines now in their
hands, not only for the purpose OF saw
ing them from ruin, but also to aid the
military operations OF the revOlutionist
forces and incidentally for revenue pur-
poses.
According to the plan now being con-
sidered by Gov. Carranza and his asso-
ciates at the head of the cOnstitutionalst
movement, a commission will be appoint
ed to undertake the work of organizing
the railroads into an operating system.
This commission, it has been suggested,
might be under the direction of the de-
partment of public works of the consti-
tutional government. Should this be done
it is the plan to send to New York a
representative of the. proposed railroad
commission. there to deal with the Amer
lean representatives of the National Rail-
ways of Mexico in any manner that
might prove to be mutually satisfac-
tory.
Not to Borrow Money.
1t is asserted by constitutionaIist rep
resentatives here that it is not the plan
to borrow money against the railroad
properties now in the hands of the con-
stitutionalists. The Carrancistas feel,
however, that their possession of the
physical properties would justify them in
mourning such liabilities against the rail-
ways as the purchase of new materials
and supplies for reconstruction and equip
ment
1t is asserted here that there is a plan
on the part of President Huerta and GER
tain of his associates to throw the Ma
tiOnal Railways into the hands of a re-
ceiver. This receiver, it is said, Is to
be Z. N. Brown, the present president of
the road. 1t is asserted by the constitu-
tionalists that this would be a most un-
fortunate occurrence, as the receiver to be
appointed. under the alleged plan would
have unlimited opportunities of exercising
absolute control over the system, which |
might result in its serious impairment. |
State Department officials yesterday
said nothing had been received here. |
neither from consular representatives.
Dr. from the British government, regard
ng the reported expedition of British
marines and bluejackets into British Hon
luras to prevent violation Of the neu-
rality laws governing that territory.

the State Department that Great Britain
was acting wholly within her rights il
such an expedition had been sent into
her territory, and that Mr.. Millward's in
formation was not the cause Of any con-
Germ to this government.
Trying to Get Brito.
The purpose of the expedition. it was
said by Mr.. MilIward yesterday. is to
apprehend former Governor Brito, who is
accused % stealing 500. 900 from the state
government of Campeche in Mexico. 1t
now is asserted that he is back in Cam
peche. stirring up a revolution against
Huerta. He made his re-entry into
Mexico, il is said, by way OF Belize, Brit
ish Honduras, arriving there December
6. under an assumed name. Thus he
eluded the British officials. who had been
asked by .he Huerta government to ap-
prehend him for eXtradition TO Mexico in
case he appeared in British Honduras. At
the British Embassy here yesterday it
was said tina, nothing was known Of any
expedition heing landed from the Her
mione to patrol the border of British Hon
duras to prevent arms being smuggIed
into Mexico or to captuI Brito.
Further report of the operations OF tb.,

eral hundred men. His forces DESTROYED
some buildings and committed Other
depredations. The consul at Tampico has
taken steps to see whether American
life and property are menaced. Torreon
is reported still in the hands OF the fed
erals. although the rebels control the
surrounding district.
Gen. Villa, at Chihuahua, has not vet
completely satisfied the demands of the
United States as to his treatment of for
eigners. 1t was learned yesterday that
he has refused to make good on his
promise to allow women and children In
that city to join the men who were
expelled from the city by the rebel lead
er. 1t is understood Villa is holding the
women and children as a sort of hostage,
The Japanese government has followed
the example of the Spanish government
in asking the United States to use its
good offices on behalf of its subjects
in the district under Villas control.
