Says Stories Untrue.

DOUGLAS, Ariz. Jan. 2.-Stories OF
starvation In Slnaloa are grossly exag-
gerated. according to General Jose de la
LUZ Blanco, who has been connected with
the staff of Venustiano Carranza and who
arrived here today, Ell route TO FL Paso
to undergo surgical operation He bore
an honorable discharge from the consti-
tutionalist army. signed by General Car
ranaz.
Blanco, who was the general comma nd
Ing the Sonora division Of Francisco Ma
deros army. served In Sonora during the
present revolution. He said the rebel
army had orders 90 feed all persons found
TO be In actual want. The only real suf-
fering he asserted. was In tho outlying
districts not yet reached by constitution
alist forces In the city Of Culiacan
alone. an average of 500 persons. mostly
women. children and aged men, were be-
Ing fed daily.
Cattle expectations from Sonora during
the year 1913, according 10 official Mexi-
can figures. were 9o,041 head. valued at
more than s1,500,000. Exports were re-
ported especially heavy during the last
three months.

NUEVO LAREDO STILL
HELD BY FEDERALS

LAREDO. Texas. Jan. 2.-While the
desultory fighting today was indecisive,
whatever advantage there was in the sec
ond day Of the battle at Nuevo Laredo,
Mexico. seemed with the federal defend
ers tonight. In the most important en-
gagement today, constitutlonalst ma

disIodged from It's position 1000 yards
from the federal line. and the rebels fled
after thirty-five OF their number had been
killed. The number OF federais killed
was placed ct Ave.
The main line OF the besiegers tonight
was unbruben and the government troops
held their positions. Rebel leaders were
disappointed at the delay in the arrival
OF artillery reinforcements They plan to
prolong the siege indefinitely and prom

tillery arrives.

San Luis Potosi, has about 1000 men
well supplied with artillery and ammu-
milton The campaign near San Luis
Potosi appears to be quite independent
of the one against Tampico, at which
place the rebels have been brought
down from northern Tamaulipas.
Railroad men know practically moth
of San Luis Potosi, where the rebels
are In control as far as Saltillo. Ad-
vices received by them today said that
two construction trains, with compile.
ment of troops, had been destroyed
near Moctezumn, halfway between San
Luis Potosi and Saltillo. The report
said that 500 soldiers were killed 1t is
understood the workmen on the train
were impressed into the rebel army.
News by Courier.
The blowing up of the train took
place December 80, but news of the
disaster arrived here only today by
courier.
Not being convinced that General
Romero will be able successfully to re-
sist the rebels, many well-to-do resi-
dents Of San Luis Potosi have arrived
in the capital and still others are re-
ported to be coming here.
The character Of San Luis Potosi,
besides the wealth it would add to the
rebel Golfers, the city being perhaps
the second woalthiest in the republic,
would seriously increase the embarrass:,
ment Of the government, as it would
effectually block the importation of
oil by way of Tampico.
Alarmed by the Increasing difficulty
in obtaining oil, the management of the
government railways, ncting under
government instructions, is busy con.
verting oil-burning engines into coal
burners. Owing to the scarcity Of coal
in the republic and the necessity Of
importing it from the United States,
railroad men see little hope Of operat'
ing trains for any length of time, eS-
cept in limited zone.
Retaliation Feared.
The action Of the government in
oil at Vera Cruz to the Mexican rail
way, an English-owned property, in
spite of alleged promises made the reb-
els by the company not to furnish any
more oil, has increased the fear of re-
taliation by the rebels in the oil dis
tricts around Tuxpam and Tampico and
caused fears that they possibly will cut
the Mexican railway, which unites the
capital and Vera Cruz. Traffic over
the Inter,Oceanic railroad to Vera Cruz,
which was suspended a few days ago
as a result Of the dynamiting of troop
train by the rebels near Jalapa, was re-
sumed today.
The banking situation here continues
critical. The Bank Of London and
Mexico is still availing itself of Presi-
dent Huerta 3 extension of the banking
holidays, by limiting withdrawals by
depositors to 200 pesos.

Act of Barbarisln.

One act Of barbarism was witnessed
from the American side Of the river. y
captured constitutionalist was trussed up
with a rope to the tail OF a Wild horse,
which then was sent plunging across the
plain. dragging the body behind. The
prisoner had been shot. but 1t was not
known whether he was dead
Another report was that a wounded
constitutionallst. his arms tied behind his
back and his knees tied to his body. was
spitted on a pole and paraded In front
of the federal lines 1t was learned today
that the federals are maintaining a vigil
liant border patrol on the Mexican Side
and that no Mexican citizen is permitted
TO cross the river.
During the night the constitutionalists
threw up intrenchments within 1000 yards
OF the federal lines southeast OF Nuevo
Laredo, Before noon the federals direct
ed n heavy but futile fire at these breast
works.

REBELS TO ATTACK
SAN LUIS POTOSl

MEXICO CITY, Jan. $50 rapidly
has the number Of rebels about San
Luis Potosi increased and so imminent
does an attack on that city seem that
freight traffic into the city from the
south over the only line open has been
suspended,
Telegraphic communication continues
and reports from San Luis Potosi to-
day said the rebels from the north and
west were closing in from the town and
that small bands were menacing it from
the east and south.
Reports are current that the troops
at Monterey and Saltillo have revolted,
but there Is no confirmation Of this,
Communication with both cities Is cut
off
Indications are that the rebel forces
threatening San Luis Potosi are
those led by men whose activity has
been confined to that part of Mexico,
and who have never taken part in the
operations in the north. Eulalia Gui-
terrez and Francisco Cotes seem to be
the dominant leaders. They are sup
ported by the Cediollo brothers, who
for months have been operating along
the railroad line from San Luis Potosi
to Tampico,

Tired of Waiting.

The company officials said they were
willing to take back men who have had
no part in promoting strike violences
and have no intention of barring from
unemployment men whose homes arc
well established in the mining com
munities. AT the same time they
pointed out, the company has waited
five months for the "return to work -
movement to take full effect and they
were indisposed to jeopardize their in
terests by further delays.
1t was confirmed, therefore, that the
companies plan to make fresh impor-
tations of non-union men at an early
date. Taking companies figures as
a basis there are some 5000 less
men now employed than when the strike
started, The local labor market is about
exhausted of strikers or other unem-
ployed who are willing to drill or tram
in the underground workings.

Later Mr.. Densmore met two fresh
arrivals in the situation, Grant Ham
ilton Of Washington, D. C., and James
R. Roach Of Albany, N. Y, both Of
ficials Of the American Federation Of
Labor. They told interviewers that
they were sent to the strike scene by
President Gompers of the national labor
body, who wished report of conditions
from personal representatives.
Outside of these activities there was
small surface indication of tense
strike situation. While this was sup.
posedly the last day on which the com
panies were willing to take back any of
their striking employees, there was
manifest no disposition to forco this
aspect of affairs. Some applications for
work in the Keweenaw county mines
were received, one manager stating that
enough had reached him to warrant a
belief that he might resume operations
