News of Federals
Defeat Is Censored

Mexico City, Nov. 26.-News OF
the disastrous defeat inflicted upon
the fedarals by Villas rebels near
Juarez was kept out of the news
papers here today. Instead the news
papers published dispatches indicat-
ing that the rebels were in ful re-
treat and that prospects were bright
for the recapture of Juarez. Huerta
held se1 eral conferences during the
day with the cabinet and members
of his staff. The food shortage aud
money stringency continues. Inc
passage of the Belgian railroad con-
cession by Congress is relied upon to
relieve the latter condition and pos
sibly provide means for breaking the
rebel embargo on food supplies. But
the activity of the rebels make this
a rather forelorn hope. Unless the
rebels can be curbed or driven out
of the states of Vera Cruz and
Tampico to the situation OF the capt.
tai and therefore of the adm1nlstra-
ton will be most precarious.

CIV C.. T.. GERTELLD

Paris. Nov. 26-Special Cable. -
The final refusal of William f. Nc
Combs to accept the mbassadorship
to France has greatly displeased The
Letter family, with which Mrs. Nc
Combs is connected ny marriage Mrs.
McCombs was Miss Dorothy Williams
of Washington, and her sister is Ms,
Joseph Letter.
Joseph Letter who is now cruising
in the mediterranean. expected that
after Mr. McCombs was married he
would see his way clear to reconsider
his first refusal Of the post and, ac-
cording to my informant, the Letters.
counted upon Mr.. McComs' rank as
ambassador to great social promin-
ence. They We're especially thereby
to obtain entree into the dazzling
court life.
Mr.. McCombs said the original and
gravest obstacle in the way of his ac
cepting President Wilson's offer was
his inability to meet the monetary
obligations the post CENTRALIZED. My
informant said this was true and
added that Miss Williams did not
possess great fortune to aid her
husband IL keeping up the embassy.
SHORTY before the wedding took
place." said my informant, Mr..
Letter declared himself to be more
than willing to finance Mr.. Nc
Combs for any length OF time he
chose to stay in the diplomatic SER
vice. OF course, Mr.. Letter was
forced to explain his reason for such
an offer, and while Mr.. McCombs
might have been willing to accept
financial assistance from his wife in
order that she might enjoy the social
life, he revolted at the blooded
proposition. He declared that he
could not bring himself to become TIE
social stalking horse for a wealthy
relative by marriage.
His Independent attitude in this
matter did not endear him to any OF
the Letter family whose alliance with
English nobility through the mar
riage of Miss Letter to Lord Curzon
has already proven a keen disap.
poitment in social sense as well as
financial drain"

Rebel Forces Gain Complete
Victory In Juarez
Battles.
CAPTURE AMMUNITION
Fully 5000 Soldiers Are in City and
Constitutional Money May Cause
Trouble With Merchants.

E Paso,, Texas, Nov. 26.-The VIC
tory of General Villa owe rthe federal
troops, sent to recapture the City of
Juarez, was complete, Tonight not
a federal is within twenty-five miles
of the border city. The rebel army
is back in Juarez with its wounded
as we'll as the captured arms, am
munition and supplies. The number
of dead and wounded, as aresult OF
the two days fighting has been great
ly exaggerated. There are but 1S4
wounded mere. A thorough search
of the field where the hottest fight
ing occurred, today disclosed no dead
rwounded left. The number Of
prisoners captured by Villa also has
been over-estimated. The rebels re-
ported last night that they had cap
tured 700 federals. Not over 250 were
brought to Juarez today.
That many executions had taken
place was admitted by Villa today =
He refused to say how many, how
ever,
Fully 5000 rebels are in Juarez to-
night. All are jubilant and are try
ing to spend Constituencies money.
Shop keepers are trying to close up
to keep from accepting it. The out
look is for trouble. Villa says he will
carry the campaign after the federals
as soon as he can supply his men
with ammunition again, but he fail
ed to press any advantage he may
have gained yesterday, when he
forced the federals to retreat.

sition to make of those who have
been treated artery they shall have
been discharged from the hospitals.
The Navy Department today re-
lceiyed i,eport from Admiral

Republican Faction Indignant Over
Procedure and Says II Is Done
To Force Matters.

. Washington, Nov. 26-Dcmocratic
Senators today turned the tables on
President Wilson. If he leaves Wash
ington during the Christmas holidays
in accordance With his announced
program for what he says is his
needed rest, he will desert the CAPT
tol and leave the Senate industriously
at work on his pet job, the currency
bill. Rather than not keep his hand
orders, President Wilson must forego
that promised vacation and stay here
wit hthe senator's Only few days ago
President Wilson vetoed the timehon-
ored custof of holding New Years
reception for the general public. He
did SO on the ground that he needed
a rest and would leave Washington
during the customary holiday vaca-
ton of Congress.
Today the Democratic senators in
caucus decided not to have a holiday
recess, but to stick steadily on the
currency bill.
Republicans Sore.
Republicans were indignant Ovel
the action of the Democrats. Elk
pressing themselves as favoring re
vision of the currency laws, just as
sincerely as were the Democrats
they declared their intention of not
being driven and worked overtime
in order to put into effect a program
that was intended to jam the measure
through under a caucus decree and az
a distinctly partisan bill. This feel
ing of resentment manifested Itself
later in the day when Senator New
lands took the floor to speak on the
currency resolution and Senator
Smoot Immediately demanded a rol
call to disclose quorum.
Practically all the Democratic lead
ers chuckled in private at the way
they put one over on the President
and said he would have to stay here
with them until the bill was finished
