Birds In Winter.

Though birds have a much higher
temperature than a man's-man's is %.
while theirs is 107-they suffer cruelty
from the winter cold. In II mutton
country it is not uncommon TO find
sheep with dead birds fastened on
their backs. The little, cold creatures
snuggle in the sleeps wool to get
warm, their feet become entangled in
the fleece. and they strive to death.

QueretarO in a day or two. Messages
received from him Monday stated that
ne was still at Aguascalientes.
The newly appointed Gutierrez cabi-
net, together with all of the convention
members who are still in Aguascalien-
ties. will accompany the provisional
president. to the new capital It is
stated that no entry into Mexico City
will be made until after Carranza has
left the country, as ne has promised to
do should Villa do likewise. Troops
will be sent south, however, in much
the same manner in which Carranza
effected his entry into Mexico City
after Carbajal had left the country.
Francisco Villa and VenusrianO Car
rama have both agreed to leave Mex
leo, each conditional upon the absolute
retirement of the other, according TO
adVices received here by f. G. IlOrente,
appointed by the Aguascalientes con-
ference as its agent at Washington.

EulaliO Gutierrez, who was elected pro-
visional president by the convention,
has received word from Carranza that
he will retire and quit the country If
Villa will do likewise. Villa was adj

ditions are said to be rapidly growing
worse in central Mexico IT is stated
that a number of the commanders have
taken over full power to themselves
and are recognizing no orders of any
kind.
villa troops have made no offensive
movement to the east of San Luis Potost
according to advices received here Mon
day. To the south Villa is in control
almost to QuelarO, which city is still
held by the forces of Gen. Pablo Con
zalez, who is claimed by both factions.
