Some published reports including the

New Jersey. as attorney general. were
not confirmed. The information on
which the four portfolios were defi-
nitely designated was of Il positive
character. but 1t did not include the
name or Chancellor Walker. The IN
clusiGn OF his name in some OF the lists
made public is based on conjecture and
is not In accord with the latest infor-
ma ton reaching those In close touch
with the new administration. Their
advices are to the effect that while
chancellor Walker was considered. cir
-curnstances arose which are likely to
eliminate him from the lists.

PEACE IS FAR OFF.
Rebels in Northern Mexico Continue
Warfare.

Rebels in Northern Mexico Continue
Mexico City, Feb. 26.-Hope for i'm
mediate peace in Mexico is slight.
Rebel activity, in the north has in
creased and the governments efforts to
enter into arrangements with the Ia
patistas appear to have failed.
Whether the rebels, whose center is
the state of Coahuila, where Governor
Carranza, father in law of Gustavo
Madero oppose the new regime, have
increased numerically, is rot generally
known, but they have so conducted
their operations already that commune
cation with the frontier has been
stopped that region between Laredo
and San Luis Potosi being practically
desolated. In Coahuila also are two
brothers of the slain president, Fran
cisco l. Madero.
In the south the ,Zapatistas continue
burning and raiding, and an attack on
a military train between Ozumba and
Mexico City leaves little doubt as to
their attitude toward the new admin
istration. The attack was of the ordi-
nary ambush type.
The train was stopped by a burned
out bridge, and the fighting continued
for more than two hours.
One OF the demands of the Zapatistas
made yesterday by commissioners rep
resenting that section Of the rebels,
was that all Zapatista officers be ad-
mitted to the regular establishments
with corresponding rank, some having
assumed the title of general. To this
the government strongly objected
The commissioners left in order to
report to their chief, and soon word
came back that the Zayatistas con-
sidered the revolution still in progress.
The government has sent forces
southwark toward Cuernavaca along
the line OF the Central railway, por-
tion 5of which, destroyed by rebels, will
he Yehuilt.
Reports from the state OF Morales in
dfcate that. the work Of destruction
during the last twenty -four hours has
been more complete than is ordinarily
undertaken by the rebels

lieves, however. the government be-
iievesS there will besno difficulty In con-
