seven miles Of mountain road from

gees who are being taken under guard

It was estimated that 1t will cost this
government more than $1,000 day to
care for 1882 Mexican soldiers and Of
ficers. the 1867 women refugees and
the 800 children. Part of tho refugees
have already left Preside. opposite
Otinaga, Mexico, where they were driv-
en- out by the rebels. but not all OF them
will have departed until Friday. They
will arrive at Maria next Tuesday or
Wednesday. The marching column will
be about three miles long.
Major McNamee asked General
Salvador Mercado whether the women
would be able to make the march on
foot. General Mercado replied that the
women were the wives of the soldiers
and were hardy and were able to en-
dure fatigue. However, wagons will
pick up such as can not walk.

GENERAL STRIKE CALLED.
Rand Miners Vote 70 Join In osnssal
Movement.

m0vOme0Ss
Cape Town. Union Of South Africa.
Jan. 1A.-A general strike thruout
South Africa was proclaimed last night
by tho trades federation. Tho Rand
miners by q two-thirds majority voted
to Join In tho movement.
Governmental retaliation was swift.
It took the form Of tho proclamation of
martial law. This was the only step
tho authorities believed adequate 20
meet tho situation. for tho strike oe the
miners means not only the turninH
loose Of tho most turbulent spirits in
the Rand, but raises the whole question
OF the position OF the native workers.
IF tho miners obey the strike ORDER
the government will Immediately take
steps to send the natives under escort
back to their kraals.
This action would mean about 3o0.s
900 natives would be marched back by
road to their homes at enormous cost.
It will be most difficult after the end
OF the strike to recruit them again. In
brief. such a step would mean disaster
for the Rand for many years.
Chief Fear For Train Service.
Altho official reports from Johannes
burg show improvement In the train
service. reports from other districts are
less encouraging.
In Natal the situation is one of great
tension and it Is feared that the loyalty
Of the trainnen will not stand the
strain much longer. An instance Of the
mems temper is shown by the action
OF an engine driver who Quilted his
train on the veldt and left the passen-
gers stranded.
Practically no information is at hand
$~
State, but improvement there Is not
considered probable. From the govern
ment's standpoint about the only ray
of light today was the assurance from
the Indian leader. Gambia. that the
Indians against their grievances would
be dropped during the present trouble.
Union Government Stands Firm.
The Union government remains firm
in its attitude. The premier. Gen. Louis
Botha, is said to have declared he
would guarantee that with the end OF
the present crisis there would not be
another workers strike in South Africa
for a generation"
Feeling runs high between the gov.
ernment's supporters and the strikers
and the chance of mediation Is prac-
tically hopeless. The supreme court
has granted an application compelling
the government to show cause why
the strike leaders should remain in
prison.
Premier Botha has addressed a cir.
cular to the natives advising them to
obey implicitly the compound managers
and assuring them of the fullest pro-
lection. The circular seems to have
had an excellent effect

leaders on trust legislation. He talked
this forenoon with Chairman New
lands and democrats Of the senate In
terstate commerce committee ana re.
served the late afternoon for second
conference with Chairman Clayton and
democrats Of the house Judiciary COM
mittee.
To the latter committee the president
had given q preliminary outline Of the
ideas before congress recessed. Today
the president was prepared to discuss
with the two committees specific points
in his program.
So far as is possible 1t is the inten-
tion Of the administration to obtain
from these committees bills on which
they are all agreed and before the
measures covering the desired field are
introduced It is the presidents hope
that he may be consulted and that the
bills may be launched with the stamp
of administration approval just as was
the case with the tariff and the cur
rency.
An effort will be made to distinguish
for the business world those measures
which have the backing Of the presi-
dent and those which may represent
the Individual views OF members OF
congress tho the friends Of the presi-
dent in congress hope to reduce the
number Of bills to the minimum.
It was said the presidents forth
coming message satisfies the trust
views Of every member Of cabinet and
that those in touch with the business
world believe that industry will find
shealthful reinsurance in 1t.
Trust Messans Due Soon.
The president has ready for delivery
probably on Monday or Tuesday Of
next week, his message dealing with
the trust problem. For this purpose ht
has a bill, which has been prepared
by an unofficial committee. and which
now is being scrutinized by the attor-
ney general. This bin will be discussed
today with the democratic majority OF
the house judicial committee. A sub
committee Of this committee. headed
by Congressman Clayton. has three
distinct proposals. for one Of which II
will seek presidential approval.
Mr.. Wilson has no intention of forc-
ing congress to accept word for word
what he has prepared. There are GER
tain fundamental principles, however
which he will insist on. These princi-
pies are:
Identification Of the Sherman
law.
Second-Definition Of a monopoly.
Third-Prohibition of interlockine
directorates.
Fourth-Prohibition Of interlocking
stock control.
Fifth-Penitentiary punishment for
violators Of the Sherman law.
Sixth-Creation Of an interstate
trade commission.
No Menace TO Honest Business,
The administration holds 1t has
shown honest business it has nothing
to fear from the federal government
It has shown to combinations existing
in violation Of the law that 1t Is willing
to let bygones be bygones. provided
there shall be reorganization which will
bring them within the spirit as we'll as
