he has captured more than 100 pris-

Reports which cheered the consti-

tween two forces of rebels, that 1000
Sonora rebels were reported making
for the rear of the federals and that

Huerta Seems Satisfied.
Paris, Nov. 26-President Huerta
sent the following cablegram from
Mexico City to the Matin:
''The situation of the country from
an economical and military point Of
view has improved, because the gov

funds necessary to supply its needs,
and, moreover, because the national
army came out victorious in the re-
cent serious engagements fought
against the rebels of the north.
$50 far as our international rela-
tons are concerned we are in COM

with the government of the United
States, but the republic looks to the
latter to do complete justice to the
national cause. .-..

improved. The two chambers and
