"Depriving them Of their arms is an
absolutely necessary punishment. Any
other rule will result in the Big Bend
country being overrun with swarms of

would require all Of Major McNamee's
force. and probably more, and he would
be unable TO perform his important
duty Of receiving the main body which
may eventually be driven across at
Preside.
In short. the requirements Of hui
mainly are fully met. All civilian ref
ugees, men, women and children, and
all wounded persons are received and
cared for. All armed men who seek
asylum are received, disarmed and
cared for All armed men who do not
evidently seek asylum and whose good
faith is in doubt are also disarmed.

Refugees from oiirsea.

According to a dispatch sent to Gen
sral Bliss. commanding the troops on
he border. by the officer commanding
he American force at Preside, across
he Rio Grande from Ojinaga the Fed
erals we're holding their own last night.
About one thousand men, women and
,hndren refugees are on the American
side awaiting the result OF the tignt-
ing. They are in charge Of immigra-
ion officials and the Red Cross
Some uneasiness has been caused by
the discovery that a Federal prisoner
at Preside has smallpox.
General Bliss sent a long telegram
to the Secretary Of War to-day con-
corning the treatment of refugees. Sec
rotary Garrison had asked General
Bliss 10 explain a report that eighty
four Federals had been disarmed and
sent back across the river at point
six miles below Ojinsga. This was Gen
eral Bliss reply:
your telegram to-day about return
OF eighty -four Mexican Federals has
been wired TO Major McNamee, at Pre-
sidio. for further report. Pending his
report will state that, so far as known
at these headquarters, what has been
done al Preside is in accordance with
unbroken practice from the beginning
all along the border. Any one seeking
refuge or claiming asylum is received
and protected.
Frequently armed parties Of either
Federals or rebels cross the border
without evident intent to surrender or
seek asylum. If not found by our
patrols they cross back at convenient
time and place Their international
status is that OF armed invaders Of
United States territory. If caught by
our patrols they are disarmed and
either held or put back across the
river according TO the circumstances

Under no circumstances are they
obliged to return where they can. be

Boston. Jan. Sword was received
in the New haven shops in Boston and
Readville to-day that 10 per cent cut
in wages for certain classes of work
had been ordered. This step is in line
with Chairman Elliott's policy OF re-
trenchment and economy, even at the
cost, for a time, of service.
Taken together with the recent re-
duction of the roads working force, the
announcement caused considerable in
dignation among the men. The reduc-
ton takes effect to-day and affects sew

those in the shops in New Haven but

figure for months in the revolution and
in the battle at TERRA Blanca, below
Juarez, she was the most CONSPICUOUS
figure i'm the last days fighting. The
woman is said 10 be a natural fighter, and
is actuated by a spirit of revenge to do
all the harm possible TO the Federal
cause. She has lost a brother her father
and her husband in the revolution with
the men Of her command she has won
derful influence. and she always leads
them when making an attack.
At times to-day there were lulls in the
fighting, following a rebel repulse The
Federals thought more than once that
the rebels attempt to take the town had
been abandoned.
Rebel wounded are being treated In
Preside by American Red Cross surgeons
and nurses. The wounded are carried by
their comrades to a point two miles below
Preside. where they are brought across

getting supplies. and Major McNamee
consented.
There is no lack Of food in either army
Both sides appear to have abundan,
funds. and the whole country around
Preside has been searched by rebel and
Federal agents for supplies
Federal troops were paid the amount
due them on back salary to-day, when
more than 100000 was taken across the
river to Oiinaea. The money was sent
