Maria, Texas, Jan. 1S.-Footsore,
ragged almost famished from their
threc-days march on foot of 81 miles
over wind-swept mountain road, the
$500 Mexican Federal soldiers and gen.
erals, routed by the rebels from DINA
ga. Mex, with 1867 women and about
900 children arrived today within a
few miles of Maria, whence they are
to be transported by train to Fort
Bliss.
The remnant of the Huerta army,
which sought asylum in this country
rather than face possible determination
by the rebels, will be formally intern
ed at Fort Bliss on Tuesday as wards
of the government. They are to be
held there indefinitely. 1t will be the
first time the American army has
been called upon to shelter. feed and
clothe an entire division of a foreign
army which includes six disarmed gen.
erals.
None of those in the unique caravan
OF Mexican soldiers, women, children,
horses, burros and dogs was more WIS.,
IDLY affected on coming within sight
of Maria than Gen. Salvador Mercado.
Huerta's former military chief, who
ordered the evacuation of Ojinaga.
Mercado was confessedly Inundated,
not only at the defeat of his army and
the necessity for his fight to foreign
SOIL but also because of a report from
Mexico City that he would be court
martialed should he return to his ma
tive country.
Besides Gen. Mercado and mingling
with the United States cavalrymen
who acted as guards, marched the
Federal Generals Castro, Aduna, Ian
da, Crpinal and Romero, all shorn of
their swords.
The picturesque march abounded
with incident. The birth of child;
the death of several wounded soldiers;
the search for water in the desert; the
constant struggling away from the line
of march and the rounding up again
of scores of the refugees were some of
the difficulties with which the Unit
ed States cavalry, commanded by Maj.
McNamee, had to contend with. The
Mexicans guarded virtually as pris-
oners, outnumbered the escorting
American soldiers 10 to /.

ing army as it sagged through the

Farmers Holding
Back Potatoes.

Washington, Jan. 1S-Unusually high
prices prevail in the potato markets be-
cause the farmers this year are holding
a larger proportion of this vegetable than
was held in the past four years in the
belief that they will profit by a future
rise in prices, according to statement
Saturday by the department of agricul-
ture. The supply, however. is said to be
normal and the conditions do not fore
cast any material advance in prices.
In consequence of the firm holding of
potatoes by producers from Maine, Michi.
gan, Wisconsin and MSnnesota-importani
producing states-the price on Dec l vac
about ia cents per bushel higher than a
year ago and To- cents higher than three
years age.
The department estimates that about
42.1 per cent. of the marketable supply
of potatoes of the 1918 crop remained in
the hands of farmers and 95 per cent in
the hands of dealers on Jan. /, in the inn
portant potato growing states.

Gen. Villas Forces
Are Now Active.

San Bias. Sinaloa, Mexico, Jan. IS
While forces arriving here today with
General Carranza apparently will
move against Guadalajara, reports re-
ceived by Constitutionalist command
ers indicate that Gen. Villas insur-
gents will move against Torreon.
Guadalajara, capital of Jalisco, is the
strategic key to the center of the re-
public. Torreon. metropolis of Coahuila,
is the central railroad point of North
ern Mexico.
General Villa reported from Chi
huahua City that he was prepared to
move in any direction with an ample
force, as the result of his victory at
Ojinaga. He said he had So cannon in
serviceable condition and plenty of
ammunition.
General Villa, it is, believed, will
move directly into Coahuila.

THE ICEHARVEST.
Cutting to Begin in Two
Places in Dresden
But Extent Of Operations Is
Yet Very Uncertain.
Depends Entirely on the Weather Of
The Next Few Weeks.

Gardiner, Me, Jan. 1S.-(SpeciaD. -
While it is too early at present to say
how much ice will be harvested on
the Kennebec river this winter it is
certain that some will be, for the work
has already been commenced, and
there is but little doubt that the op-
erations will be extended to other
points before the coming of March.
The places at which operations are in
progress are the Berry houses and the
Cedar Grove houses, both located at
Dresden and each of which has ca
pacity of $4,000 tons. The work OF
running ice at Cedar Grove will begin
Monday morning and at the Berry
houses on the following day.
The coming of winter this year
found every icehouse on the Kennebec
river empty, and while no orders have
those at the two places mentioned
above there is reason to believe in
view of the shortage of ice last sea-
son that the ice harvest along the
river will become general before many
weeks. The keynote to the whole sit
uation is of course the outcome on the
Hudson river. If the operators get a
good crop there it will mean that just
so much less ice will be harvested in
Maine, but if on the other hand the
cold weather goes back on them in
New York, as it is very apt to do, they
will have to look to the old Kennebec,
which never fails of a good supply
and of the best possible quality.
Advices from the Hudson ice fields
last week stated that conditions We're
favorab le-that the weather was cold
and that they were cutting ice behind
the bikes but not on the main river.
They had little slump of mild wealth
er the latter part of the week, but 1t
is supposed that the cold weather
which arrived here Saturday night
must have helped them out a little.
These periods of mild weather are very
apt to occur in the ice belt along the
Hudson, and it doesn't take many of
them to change the whole complexion
of the ice harvest.
The freeze on the Kennebec river is
good one The river closed under
favorable conditions, the water being
of a normal height at the time and

Plymouth. Eng, Jan. 1S.-A dozen
torpedo boat destroyers and mine
sweepers piled up and down White
sand bay from early morning today
until darkness set in, but failed to
locate the submarine Az which
sank during maneuvers Friday.
Plymouth, Eng, Jan. 1S.-An all-day
search by a fleet of torpedo boats, to
which were attached cables to sweep
the bottom of Whitesand bay, failed
to locate the sunken British subma-
rine Al. When darkness fell Satur-
day the commanding officers reluct-
antly ordered the vessels to return to
their mornings.
Although hope of any of the crew
of II being alive was long ago given
up-six hours being the maximum
time they could breathe after the YES
sci sunk--the search will be resumed
at daylight.
The hunt has been made more d1fn-
cult by the fact that the buoy, which
the parent ship placed when the sub
marine was missed, was driven out
to sea, and it is believed that the sub
marine itself drifted and probably lies
at a depth of 80 fathoms.

word to the dusty distance 10 miles
away was a picture of exhaustion, al
though the prospect of soon reaching
the railroad and ample supplies of ra-
lions seemed to revive fresh courage.
Since they were routed from Dim
aga, eight days ago, the Mexican SOL
diers have had only scant food sup
plies. Three camps had been estab-
lished along the road to Maria, but
the camps We're supplied with limited
rations, because all food stuffs and
water had to be carried by wagons
from Maria. Many of the foreigners
were poorly clad and without blankets
so their suffering at night was intense.
Tonight soldiers and civilians who
had been through battles had endur-
ed exposure, hunger and misery, and
had turned their backs on their own
country, looked forward hopefully to
life in new and strange land.

Boston, Jan. 1S.-It is many years
since such havoc has been caused
among the coastwise fleet as that
which followed the blizzard along the
New England coast last week. The
gale wrecked one steamer, six schoon-
ers and barge, according to the rec
ord of disasters disclosed up to to-
day. Numerous other vessels sustained
severe damage and were left little
short of wrecks.
The property loss is estimated at
nearly million dollars. Only one life
was sacrificed, while ISL people were
brought safely to shore. OF these los
were on the steamer Cobequid when
she struck a rock in the Bay of Fun

Terrible Anxiety
Of Crew of Palmer.

Baltimore Jan. 1S.-Reseued from their
ice-coated, sinking ship after they had
given up all hope, the 10 members of the
crew of the five-masted schooner Fuller
Palmer arrived in Baltimore today
aboard the Donaldson Line steamer Ma
rina.
The rescue was made by the Marina
early Thursday morning about 1A miles
southeast of Cape Cod.
The men rescued were Capt. o. w.
Clarke, Boston; First Mate James Rabe,
Norway: Second Mate Albert Gould, No
va Scotia; Engineer William Buchanan,
Cape Breton. and the Negro crew. Since
Monday morning when the gale which
swept the Atlantic coast had SO battered
the schooner that she began to leak, the
crew had fought to keep her afloat. With
sails whipped into threads by the wind,
and rigging broken and SO coated with
ice that it could not be handled, the
Fuller Palmer had practically drifted at
the mercy of the raging seas.
Day and night the men labored at the
pumps as the pounding of the waves
opened the seams and the leaks grew
larger. Tons of water flooded her decks
and, turning to ice, added to the unwield-
mess of the vessel
Wednesday night, feanul that their
vessel would sink at any minute. distress
signals were sent up, only to be swept
quickly away by the gale. On the masts
red lights were placed. All the small
boats and life RATS had been crushed
by the waves, while most of the wood
work on the upper decks had been
smashed.
With all chance apparently gone, the
men huddled together in the forecastle.
while up on the bridge Capt. Clarke still
maintained watch for some vessel,
Shortly before o'clock Thursday
morning a rocket shot up some miles
away, showing that at least their signals
had been noticed.
Until daylight the Marina stood by and
then, as the seas had somewhat abated,
several boats We're lowered and the crew
taken aboard. BY that time the Fulle.
Palmer had settled so low in the water
that the crew bod no time to save their
effects. The transfer was made without
accident.
