ated Torreon. but rebels believed he had

the junction had been formed, giving
Velasco 4 combined force of about 1000
men.

tention of departing for Chihuahua to-
day, said he expected to stay there only
a few days before going to Torreon 10

Another report said a rebel detachment
from the brigade of Cen Gutierrez met
a detachment OF federaIs at Masmesas. a
short distance north of San Luis Potosi,

CORRECTION OF ABUSE
Will Attempt to Correct Any Wrong
Resulting From Mislead-
ing Advice.

II persons seeking information from
the Interior Department are set on the
wrong track by some employe of the
department, Secretary Lane has an
nounced that he will make every ef-
fort to rectify any wrong which may
have been done.
Several cases have come to my no
tice lately" says a statement sent by
Secretary Lane to bureaus of the de-
partment, lin which appeal was made
to me to remedy some act of injustice
resulting from misinformation given to
the public by some employe of the de-
partment. Upon these matters being
referred to clerks in the department,
have been surprised to find an indis-
position to suggest methods by which
these wrongs could be righted.
This has struck me as rather harsh.
and l desire to call your attention 10
the burden that is cast upon US to do all
that is legally within our power under
such circumstances to make amends for
our previous indifference or ignorance.
The statement. it is explained. means
for instance, that If a person is given
wrong information about the way to pro-
coed to obtain a part of the public do
main and the party following the infor-
nation gets into trouble, Secretary Lane
intends to see that everything is done to
| undo any wrong that may have been
done by tho giving out OF the msnforma-
