REFUGEES FROM
MEXICO |NTERNED
AT FORT BLISS
Nearly 5000 Soldiers, Women
and Children Erect Camp
Near U. S. Troops.

Ell Pr so. Tex. Jan. 20.-The $500
Mexican ,ederal soldiers. six Mexican
generals and 1859 women and,chfldren
who sought asylum in the United
States after they were driven out of
Ojinaga, Mexico, by General Francisco
Villas rebel forces, arrived in Ell Paso
today. They were formally interncd
at the Fort Bliss military reservation,
where they are to be held indefinitely
as prisoners of war.
Arriving in ten trains from Maria.
Tex, the refugees were taken at once
to Fort Bliss, where they were put in
a camp enclosed by a barbed wire
fence and guarded by United States
troops
The bringing of the refugees here
resulted from series of dramatic
events in recent Mexican history.
These include the evacuation of Chi
huahua seven weeks ago by General
Salvador Mercado's Federal army, its
flight across the desert TO Ojinaga by
the rebels, the retreat of the Federals
into United States territory at Pre-
sidio, Texas, and the picturesque
march afoot of the Federals over the
sixty-seven miles of mountain trail
to the nearest railway station at
Maria.
The first of the refugees to step
off the train was General Mercado.
Il am completely dumbfounded by
the unusual position we are in said
General Mercado. 'It is something
unprecedented to have a whole army
division interned on foreign soil. We
are grateful to the United States for
the asylum afforded us and for the
attention shown my soldiers. hope
the world will understand that our
fight was on grounds of humanity.
to save the lives of women and chill
dren, as well as of soldiers, who ran
out of ammunition. The rebels would
have killed us. What is to become OF
us, I do not know. We shall wait
and see.
General Mercado was Joined by his
wife and three sisters-in -in-law. About
one-third of the common soldiers are
accompanied by their wives.
As soon as they could be assorted,
the 1859 refugees to be fed, sheltered
and clothed by the war department
were assigned to permanent quarters
and soon a series of camp-fires told
that a Mexican village suddenly i'm
planted on American soil was pre-
pairing for breakfast.

Shots ringing out in rapid success

Fort Smith, Jan. 23.-Three persons were injured, one proba- ply fatally, when an automobile driven by Luke Pence of Van Buren was struck end wrecked by a freight car on the Fort Smith and Western road in the southern part of this city late to- day. The injured:
 Mrs. Max Goshea, Van Buren, skull fractured, internal injur- ies; may die.

 The Gosheas are in local hos pitals. A second child was slightly hurt. MT. and Mrs. Pence, seated in the front of the machine, escaped injury.
 The freight car was being switched over a crossing. Those in the automobile were prevent ed from seeing it by buildings on both sides of the track. The automobile was upset and was showed along for 50 feet before the freight car was stopped. The six occupants were buried in the debris and carried along in the wreckage and could not be rescued until the car was lift ed from them by jacks. They were almost suffocated and were treated with a pulmotor until they revived sufficiently to be taken to hospitals.

Hays Unopposed This Time.

Little Rock, Jan. 23.-The sev- eral gentlemen mentioned as probable opponents of Governor George w. Hays in the coming March primaries have announc- ed that they will not oppose the governor for a second term, but will very likely seek the demo- cratic gubernatorial nomination two years hence, providing they are in the land of the living. Gov. Hays is now assured that he will have no opposition in the prim- aries and his friends over the state will be glad to receive the information. He is making a very acceptable governor, and it is only right that he should be given a second term without op- position. This rule has prevail ed in the democratic party in Arkansas since the adoption of the present constitution in 1874. Judge Jesse M. Hart, one of the associate justices of the state supreme court, Attorney Gener- al w. l.. Moose and Agricultural Commissioner John H. Page will also be nominated without op- position in the March primaries. The fact that a large number of counties hold their county prim- aries before March 25, the date set for the senatorial and state primary, will cause a light vote to be boiled in the state primar- ies.
 The greatest interest always centers in the selection of local officers, and for this reason, a light vote always follows in the general primary. In a number of cases democratic candidates for the legislature have already been selected. This will also tend to lessen the interest in the general state primary. The most surprising feature of the campaign to date is the little in- terest that is being taken in the contest for United States Sena- tor between Senator James P. Clarke and Associate Justice Kirby. Everybody visiting Lit tie Rock from the interior says the people up to the present time
 are paying very little attention ! to that or any other political , contest.
