governments operating in Mexico-Carranza, with his capital at HermosilIo; Villa, con trolling Chihuahua and Durango, and Huerta intrenched in Mexico City, Each claims to be the leader of the entire Mex ican people, each IS demanding recognition as the Ie iacto and de jure government of the republic, and not one of them can be shaken from his determination to rule as he sees fit. Huerta will be driven from power, but not by any armed force at present op- eratjng in Mexico The great problem of the Wilson Bryan policv-the one great question: Is, After Hucrta, what?

They say they don't know any more now about the strike than they did when they left Jens Kuamme and partner, who stalled all of Canyon creek, where the pay was reported, have been unable to get to bedrock on account of water. They say Joe Venus IS whipsawlng lumber for Kuammc, and he is planning on working the ground this summer. The stampede started on the report that the reindeer herd CTS brought, that $G0 in dust was banned from kuamme's ground last summer. Joe Jean stalled claim at the mouth of Canyon creek Joe ui,chner, Slim Smith and Joe Marones sank on Fork creek, but could not reach bedrock on account of water.

places mentioned are so far away from the capital and the lines of communication leading to them are either cut or in the hands of the rebels, that any relief or as sistance would be mighty hard matter to put through Iuertas real strength lies in Mexico City, Vera Cruz and Tamplco. These places he can reach by rail and steamer, and he has been able to do more than hold his own.
 Reports as to the numbers of men en- gagged in this struggle have been greatly exaggerated The real numbers are as fol lows:
 Carranza in the west has about 1000 to l0,O0O men; Pancha Villa, in Chihuahua, has 10000 to 1500O; Tomas Urbina, oper ating near Durango, 4,OO0; Pablo Gonzales and Aguilar, between them, about 10000 men, making a total of about 10000 rebels under arms and operating as cohesive armed forces
 Huerta has 3O,000 men in the confines of lis capital and must perforce keep them there for the defense of Mexico City and his government, end he has about 10000 men at the other places mentioned, All the talk about Huerta putting an army of 1C00GO men in the field as the purest rot. He has neither the arms nor ammunition.
 In giving these figures 1 have not taken account of the many rowing bands of rebels operating wherever they have an opportu- nlty. There are many such bands but they acknowledge no man or faction as their leaders; they operate solely for loot, and as soon as they destroy one place they dis oand. And I have also failed to give an account of the Zapata brothers, EmiIano and Eufemio, two bandits who have been operating in the states of MoreloS and Pu- ella ever since they were cld enough to carry gun. They have large following of about 10000 men, who in ordinary times are supposed to be peaceful farmers, but who respond with alacrity to the call of their leaders for action
 The ZaHatos and their followers are the biggest menace to peace in Mexico that here is at the present day. At the present time the Zapatas have men within the very confines of Mexico City ready to seize the first opportunity to burn outrage and loot. They are the men most feared by Euerta; they arc right at his door anI furnish the principal reason why Huerta is unable tc send men to assist his outlying garrisons.

After Huerta, What?

This is a brief review of the situation down to date, There are enough men un- fer arms in Mexico who are opposed to tIrerta to wipe him off the map within two weeks time if they would only com pine into one force whose sole purpose was to overthrow the dictator, but they will not combine. Each is jealous of the other, and tie day Huerta is overthrown, 2s he will be, will mark the beginning of a reign of blood and terror that vii make any thing tiuerta may have done seem to have been the act of Sunday school teacher.

AFTER HUERTA WHAT?
 WILL BE REIGN OF TERROR
CBy Colonel Jasper Ewing Brady, late

(Bv Colonel Jasper Ewing Brady, late
 U. s. A., in Seattle Sum
 Washington, Jan 13-Last February fe- lix Diaz from a prison cell started revo- lution which ended the uncertain IS months reign of Francesca Madero The murder of the constitutional president and vice preSI- dent followed, and Victorlano Huerta seized the presidency of Mexico. The rec ognition of his assumption of power by the European governments followed in more or less rapid succession but the United States, under President Taft refused to have any thing to do with Mexico as long as Huerta remained in power President Wilson con tinued this waiting policy, and today we stand just where we did at the beginning of the trouble.
 When Huerta assumed power the first opposition developed in the northern part of the republic Governor Mayorterena of the state of Sonora refused to recognize Huerta or any man connected with his regime. Venustiano Carranza, patriotic farmer of Cohuila, joined forces with May orterena and organized provisional gov ernment, with the capital at Hermoslllo Sonora. Carranza was proclaimed provl sjonal president, and since tken has tried to exercise the functions of government.
 Over in Chihuahua and Durango was Pancho Villa bandit pure and simple who had been a follower of Madero and who saw in the situation a chance to start once more on a career of brigandage and loot He had under his command some 10000 CT more men who would be loyal to his slightest wish. Villas big hold on his men is due to the fact that he treats and pays them well. He immediately re puCIiated Huerta and swore he would stop at nothing save his utter exterminaton.
 His campaign in the states of Durango and Chihuahua is a matter of too recent history to need more than a brief mention here

Where 1uerta Rules

Huerta holds absolute sway over the fed
 eral district and Mexico City; he has troops at Zacatecas, Monterey, Jiminez, Piedras Negras, Guaymas, Mazatlan, Manzanillo, GuadaIajara, Acapulco, Vera Cruz, Tampico and few other advanced positions From this we are apt to believe that Huerta is really stronger than he is. Most of the

Villas Rise to Power

He first captured the city of Durango, Torreon, captured that, and has held it at odd times since His next move was against Chihuahua, the richest prize outside of Mex leo City in the entire republic Here he met rather determined opposition from the federal troops under the command of Pasc- GUal Orog2o, and after three weeks of futile effort Villa suddenly made flank march to the west of Chihuahua, and after rapid forced march appeared in front of Juarcz, situated opposite Fl Paso, Texas. His movement was more than successful and Iuarez fell
 From there Villa started the movement which eventually gave him Chihuahua without fight The federal power in North ern Mexico was broken save for 4,O90 men under Mercado and Orozco at Ojin4ga The geographical location of Olinaga, together with the almost jmpregnable situation of the town itsCf, has made the destruction of ,hls federal force more than difficult For six days the Villa troops under Ortega fought back and forth and at last the reb- els were compelled to retire to await rein iorcements and fresh supply of ammun- ton. Finally Villa won this fight.
 Over in the eastern portion of the re public the rebel forces are under the i'm mediat command of Generals Pablo Con zales and Candido Aguillar They have combined fierce under them of about 10000 men, Gonzales operates in the states of TamaClpas and Nuevo Leon, while Aguilar has been paying particular attention to the northern part of Vera Cruz his especial care being the immensely valuable oil pronertes of the English and American companies, sit uated near Tuxpam
 Gonzales and Aguilar made a combined attack on Tampco during the past month
 1t were unable to drive it home on ac L. mt of the presence of two federal gun boats lying nj the Rio Panuco. These boat by reason of the superior range of their guns, were able to drive back the advancing rebels at the time when their attack seemed about to succeed
 Gonzales then retired toward Victoria, his base, and Aguilar returned to his operations about Tuxpam. During the first week of the new year Gonzales made forced march north and attacked the federal troops de lending Laredo. Again he was unsuccess- full This brings all the important military operations down to date save the actions over in Sonora and Coahuila. There the rebel troops under General Percy Oregon have captured Culiacan and are now be Heglng the federal troops garrisoning the Cludads on the west coast.
