REBELS. DEFEATED. WILL
ATTACK ZACATECAS AGAIN

Ell Paso. Tex, June 16.-News of con
StitutiOnalists reverses at Zacatecas
was received here yesterday from the
south, as we'll as by press dispatches
from Mexico City. Reports from Tor
reon failed to tell of General Villas
departure to help Natera, although it
was said here that Villas men We're
moving toward Zacatecas as rapidly as
the condition of the railways would
permit.
In an effort to take the city. Gen.
Panfilo Materials troops attacked the
federal entertainments on Ell Grillo and
Veta Grande mountains and We're re-
pulsed with heavy losses. Four attacks
were made and each time he onstitu-
tionalists a to retire, owing to a
heavy and we'll directed machine gun
fire. No information On the number
of dead and wounded on the constitu-
tionalist side were given out, but it is
understood that the losses We're Urn
usually heavy, The constitutionalists
employed in the assault numbered
about 1000 out of a total of l2.0oo
forming the command of General Ma
terra. It has been learned that the
forces of General Medina Barron, the
federal commander of the Zacatecas
garrison, are at least 5000 strong.
Natera Asked Aid.
An attack made Friday or La Bufa
was unsuccessful, it is reported. and
later in the day General Natera was
obliged to telegraph to General Car
rama for reinforcements. So critical
was the situation that General Car
rama at once ordered south a num-
Der Of brigades of General Villas dl-
vision, a step which on Saturday led
to the holding of long conferences at
Torreon between Villa and the various
brigade commanders of the division OF
the north. AS soon as possible Cen
eral Villa will take his troops to "a
catecas and every effort then will be
made not only to take the place. but
also cut off the retreat Of the federals.
Torreon. Coahuila. Mex. June 10
No fighting in the city proper is antici-
pated by constitutionalist officers, here.
who are preparing to move against Ia
catecas with Villas force. AS yet the
assault of Natera's troops has proven
unsuccessful. Due to the fact that the
city is located in a basin. either force
would find itself in a ,predicament
should it occur in the city itself without
having gained possession of the three
mountains and other commanding ele-
vations about the town. With their re-
treat cut off. the federals may decide
to defend to the utmost every position
taken by them inc since they have a
large number Of machine guns. con-
stitutionalist officers believe that the
fighting around Zacatecas may become
the bloodiest that the revolution has
seen thus far.

provement Costing $4oO,O 900.

A delegation from Louisiana, headed by
Mayor Behrman of New Orleans, today

committee to urge that provision be made
in the river and harbor appropriation bill
for developing that part of the projected
inland waterway from Boston to Mexico
lying between New Orleans and Morgan
City, La. and that part lying between
Teche and Bayou Vermillion. No pro-
vision Is made in the bill as it passed the
House for these projects.
The Louisiana delegation told the Sem
ate committee that the sections of the
inland waterway which they desired de-
veloped were of major Importance to the
state and would benefit trade largely. The
army engineers have recommended these
improvements. and Col. Beach and Maj
Shulz, T. S. A.. were present to support
the arguments of the delegation. In the
delegation besides Mayor Behrman were

FUND OF $500, GOLD,
RAISED FOR DEFENSE
American Druggist Accused of Con-

Honduran City.

NEW ORLEANS, March 30.-A fund
of sixteen hundred dollars in gold is
being raised by popular subscription at

Basis of Suspicion.
DIR. Leigh went to La Ceiba about
two years ago as manager for the
Botica Atlantida, drug store owned
by a former resident of Biloxi, Miss.
The disastrous fire is said to have
originated in his drug store. 1t Is
claimed that two previous fires also
originated in the store.
Feeling against DIR. Leigh is said to
have been so intense at the time OF his
arrest that the military authorities
kept a strong guard about the Jail for
a number OF days to guard against any
possible attempt at mob violence

BIG lob FOR c. O.P.
TO WIN NEXT HOUSE
Analysis of Figures Doesn't Show
Much Chance of Demo-
cratic Rout.

Politicians at the Capitol who have
analyzed the figures and actual con-
ditions do not greet with much en-
thusiasm the suggestion that the demo
cratic party is likely to be ousted
from control of the House in the forth
coming congressional elections
They readily recognize the strong
likelihood of a number of democrats
failing denomination, and to that ex-
tent changing the personnel of the
House. but they do not admit republi-
cans preponderance in the next House
Majority Is Overwhelming.
There are 290 democrats in the House
to 1913 republicans. progressive re-
publicans' Is 'progressives, l indie
pendent and seat vacant
In tnat smashing democratic majority
there are 1856 democrats who were elected
by a clear majority over all, and by
figures so large as to be exceedingly
discoura ginE to political opponents
Fifty-one Of the seats gained by a
clear majority are held outside of the
solid south, in territory reasonably de-
batable, but not promising for a land
slide the other way In these districts
the bull moose party will probably nomi-
nate candidates, and repeat next fall the
action which put those democrats in
power.
Analysis of Figures.
Analysis Of the figures shows that in
the districts which elected by a plural
ity there were not many where the
situation holds out glittering prospects
of change. In only six districts was the
plurality less than 800; in three it was
below .OOO in eleven it was between
1000 and 1000: in four it was between
2,O(U and 5000. and in eleven between
5000 and 5000.
If the republicans should win back
each of these districts, they would still
have a long distance to travel before
sighting majority in the House.

House Forces Resume Battle
Over Exemption Clause
With Renewed Vigor.
l'ENGLE CALLS ENGLAND
"BULLY OF THE WORLD"
Floridan, From Invalid's Chair,
Opposes Repeal. But Defends
President Wilson.

With renewed vigor the forces of the
House fell to battling one another today
within a few ticks of the clock after
Speaker Clarks gavel had fallen at noon
and the Sims bill to repeal the
exemption clause of the Panama canal
act was taken up for discussion. Far
from having lost interest in the discus
sion over Sunday, the crowd which sought
to squeeze itself into the few hundred
House gallery seats seemed to be larger
and more insistent than ever. and be-
cause of the fact that the doors to the
galleries were not opened today until IL
o'clock the Capitol corridors on the
House side were jammed early-for the
most part with women.
Picturesque in his language and ap-
pearance, Claude LEngle, representa-
tive at large from Florida, led off the
debate today in an anti-British state
ment delivered from the floor of the
House in an invalids chair.
England Bully of the World"
Weak with rheuma tism and unable
TO walk, the Florida member of Con-
Sress paid compliment to the states
manship of the President on one hand
and termed England "the bully of the
world on the other. He opposed the
repeal. but declared the President is
not making democrats sell their birth
right for a mess of post Offices as
has been charged.
Following him was Representative
Doremus of Michigan. one of the biggest
elements In the opposition TO the Presi-
dent, a democrat and chairman of the
democratic congressional committee.
When the history of the Panama canal
legislation is written he said. ''it is to be
regretted that it will be necessary to
record that the first attack came from
within and not from without. An ac-
count of his speech will be found else
where In The Star.
Montague Supports Repeal.
Representative Montague of Virginia
supported the repeal bill He declared
that in interpreting the Baltimore plat
form pledge in favor of free tolls demo-
crats must choose between following the
ancient Jeffersonian democratic policy
forbidding subsidies and following the
doctrine of the republican party advo-
eating subsidies. Il choose the time
worn democratic policy
The history Of the treatise on the sub
iect of the canal and various construc-
lions Of the Clayton-Bulwer and Hay
Pauncefote treaties were reviewed by Mr..
Montague to show that equal treatment
of all nations in the use of the canal
was a historic policy of this country.
He declared that this government had
initiated negotiations for both of these
treaties and was. therefore, more than
ordinarily bound by their provisions.
One striking feature of the contest is
that Speaker Clark's office has been
crowded all day by utter strangers.
well as mere acquaintances and friends,
who have been rushing in to congratulate
