on due cooperative methods designed
to maintain the BALANCE OF .ne local
situation.
an some centres certain misguided
merchants may start 'Clafin reorgani-
cation sales, and adopt other regret,
table methods tending TO upset Local
conditions. Any concern which INDUCES
in such a practice prematurely, OF
without Justification, is to be severely
condemned. -,
Meanwhile, no useful purpose will
be served by specializing as to the ulti-
mate outcome Of the Claflin situation.
We are now on the eve of the narke,
buying season. We recommend tnat
the merchant make his plans, con-
servatively and consistently, and not
allow himself TO be warped into 2
hating or hesitating attitude. The
real merchant shows his true mettle
in disturbed situation. He never
gets ratified when there is trouble
in sight. At such times he is master
of himself and Of his business.

trade and of the country are sound

10 believe that the country is APP

ter that II should arrive near the end
of a period of so-called general bust

VILLA MAY TAKE
SAN LUIS P0T0SI
Not Likely, 1t Is Thought, to
Start for Mexico City
Until Its Fall.

Piedras Negras, June 2S.-Whether
General Villa, having taken Zacatecas,
will lead his men across the distance
between that town and San Luis Potosi
along the branch of the national sys-
TEN of railroads is the question that
is troubling northern Mexico, according
TO persons who have arrived here from
Monterey and Saltillo.
General Villa, the travellers say, has
announced his intention of taking the
subjugation of the Federal forces on
his own shoulders, and it is questioned
by late arrivals If he would risk leav-
ing a Federal garrison in his rear on
the march toward Mexico City, even
though General Pablo Gonzalez and the
division Of the northwest is on the way
TO attack San Luis Potosi from the
north. II will be necessary for Con
zalez TO repair the railroad for some
distance before he can attack San Luis
Potosi. 'and il is said that it might be
possible for Villa TO cross over and
take the town before Gonzalez could
reach il.
Movements OF General Carranza are
q mystery, persons from Monterey say
According TO their statements be has
promised 10 VISIT seNeIal tONhS III the
north OF Mexico within the next few
weeks, but whether he will take
Monterey as his temporary headquar'
tiers is not known. Carrsnza's pro-
grammc, as announced before he left
Durango and before the breach with
villa. has been forgotten. He said he
would announce his provisional cabinet
and his declaration Of principles or
platform Of reforms on his arrival at

FEDERALS ABANDON
AGUAS CALIENTES
Villa Forces Engage Fugitiyes at
Salinas, Killing and Wound.
ing Four Hundred.
~ Teleeraph 70 &c TrIbune.

Zacatecas, Mexico, June 2S.-Aguas
Calientes has been abandoned by the
Federals. They will make their next
stand at San Luis Potosi.
This is indicated in dispatches re-
ceived here to-day. One announced
that General f. A. Benavides, COM
handing the Zaragoza brigade Of
General Villas army engaged the
forces of General Benjamin Argumedo
to-day at Salinas, half way between
Aguas Calientes and San Luis Potosi
and killed or wounded four hundred Of
the Federals. The other dispatch said
that General Villas army had reached
the outskirts OF Aguas Calientes and
that the town appeared to be without
Federal defenders. General Argumedo
was reported wounded during the
Zacatecas battle.
Federals in Aguas Cslientes were
commanded by General JiTnenez Castro
and they had been augmented in num-
bers by the remnant of the army of
General Barron, which Villa had driven
from Zacatecas. 1t is regarded as
likely that General Castro has decided
10 make a stand in San Luis Potosi, a
more strategic point and one closer in
touch with Mexico City. It is believed
that General Castro's army, exclusive
of the command of General Argumedo,
numbers nearly fifteen thousand.
Two train loads OF rebel wounded
were sent from here to Torreon to-day
to relieve the crowded condition of the
many hospitals here. Practically every
house in Zacatecas was converted into
a hospital, following the great battle of
last week. The wounded of both sides,
numbering thousands, were gathered
into the homes of the people, women
and children volunteering as nurses
and all physicians in the city giving
their services. Conditions soon be-
came unbearable and to save the lives
of many who could not be reached with
proper attention. the less seriously
wounded were sent 10 Torreon.
The work of burying the dead and OF
clearing the streets of the debris OF
shattered buildings was continued TO-
day. More than one thousands. graves
were dug in the waste of sand when
serves Zacatecas as cemetery, and the
number of dead is being added to
daily as the wounded succumb.
Supplies of food and medicines are
now being received and the situation
has been greatly relieved. For time
the lack Of food amounted almost to
famine.
