RebeIsl Loss Is Larae

Mexico City, Dec. 15-The rebel
loss in the battle between the fed

for the possession of the seaport Of
Tampico is estimated at 1000 men,
according to telegram received to-
day at the ministry Of the interior
from the governor of the state of Ia
maulipas.
The last shot in the battle was
fired at 10 O'Clock Sunday morning,
when the rebels retired, according to
the official report given out at the
war office today. Federal cavalry
then pursued the retreating rebels
for some distance, afterward return
ing to Tampico and reporting that
the rebels had dispersed, some of
them going toward Victoria and
others in the direction of Tula and
Xiootancatl, in the state Of Tamauii-
pas.
I'ne rebels were demorallzed and
short of ammunition, the official re-
port said.
The war department is of the opin-
ion that Tampico is safe from further
attack, and with this assurance an
active campaign is to be begun by
the federals in the region about Tor
reon. 1t was announced today that
an effort to retake Durango, which
has been long in the possession Of
the rebels, is to be made at once.
The recapture of Durango was the
object of the ilI-fated expedition, the

HUERTAs FoRcEs ABLE TO GIVE
coNsTlTUTIoNALIsTs A
HARD FIGHT

Oiinaga, Mexico, Dec. 15.-Only
Americans with special passes were
permitted to cross into Mexico today
because of the closing in of the rebel
forces and the prospect of an attack
on General Salvador Mercado's 1000
federal troops garrisoned here. Whe-
ther the advance Of the rebels viii
result in an immediate battle or a
prolonged siege is impossible to tell.
Ojinaga, in the opinion Of mill
tary men, is virtually impregnable.
The town, where the federals have
built strong Notifications, is on top
of a plateau, which rises abruptly, so
feet from the surrounding ground.
The river forms half circle around
it on the east and north, while on
the south rises a series Of hills, all Of
which may, be commanded by artillery
located OH the plateau. There are
three points from which an attack
might be delivered Two of these are
SC difficult to maneuver on cavalry
horses that they would be useless,
as the rebels will rely mainly on cav
airy for the offense. The natural
opening for an attack would be along
he river bank to the southeast.
The Importance Of the ultimate re-
suit here lies in the fact that should (
he federals win they then would be
II a position to attempt to recapture
Tuarez, opposite El Paso. If the reb- |
lis win, General Mercado's forces /
sither would have to surrender or
ross into the United States.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE
MEETS TO CONSIDER CALLING OF A
SPECIAL CONVENTION NEXT YEAR

the fact that the convention is called
for purposes of reapportionment, will
show plainly the attitude of the ma
tional committee as to these mat
ters.p
Former Governor Hadley of Mis-
souri, conferred with representatives
of the Cancellation forces'' of pro-
gressives and republicans.
To Restrict Committees Powers
Recognition of state primary laws
and reduction of the representation
from southern states in the national
convention does not satisfy the de-
mands of the more radical forces,
who intend to demand that the con
vention shall take away from the
national committee it's power to
make up the temporary rolf of the
convention and shall give to the re-
publican organization in each state
the right to settle it's own delegate
contests.
That change and the provision that
each presidential campaign should
be run by the newly elected national
committee, instead of the "hold-over'
committee, would satisfy practically
all of the democrats of the so-called
progressive-republican forces.
Members of the national committee
still expect an effort to force the
special convention to take
up the question of a new party plat
form, while the Hadley-Cummins
forces may not participate in the ef-
fort, Senator La Toilette is expected
to take an outspoken attitude in favor
of such action.
