Cumbrue, Chihuahua. Mex, Feb. s.
Nothing but charred bones and but

the south portal as far as the locomo-

Mexico City, Feb. s.-President
Huerta has succeeded in the past
week, without much fighting. in re-
opening the lines of communication to
Tampico and Laredo and between
Saltillo and Torreon. This apparent
advantage is explained to some extent
by the fact that the rebels have re-
ceived instructions to cease operating
in small bands in these districts and
join the Constitutional movement near
Torreon, the middle districts and
about Tampieo on the gulf coast. The
indications are that there will be
lull in the military operations until
the rebels have supplied themselves
with additional arms and ammunition
which are now available from the
United States.
Rebel Organizations at Work.
In the Isthmus of Tehuantepec
and in the adjoining regions extending
north, numerous rebel organizations
are operating but the interest in their
campaigns has grown less in the ex-
pectation of developments in the coun-
try still further north, where both
factions have modified large armies.
The most dangerous rebel operation
comparatively close to the capital Is
that directed by Gen. Juan Francisco
Lucas, popularity called the patriarch
of the Sierra Indians" These Indians
control large area to the north ana
east of the capital, for the most part
in the state Of Puebla. They are we'll
equipped and appear to be determined
to do their share in the coming OPP
erations. They have received among
them a force Of about 200 Northern
rebels.
The Federal Forces Placed.

Torrecn and 1000 at Monterey. AL
Tampico the Federal garrison Is ap-
proximately 2O0O and always there re-
mains the waterway from Vera Cruz

clared that he will continue to send
troops to Torreon until the garrison
there numbers at least 1o,0oo.

All on Mexican Passenger

Cuers Arrive.
Sec. Bryan Deluged with
Inquiries==Diyided Opinions
As to the Responsibility

Washington, Feb. S.--All those
those aboard the Inflated passenger
train which collided with the seven
burning freight cars at Cumbre tun-
mel, appear to have persisted. They in
clude at least eight Americans and 80
Mexicans, according to a dispatch from
American Consul Letclpr at Chihua-
hua to the state department tonight.
The dispatch said the Americans
known 10 have been aboard the train
and whose bodies were being sought
by a relief party included:
NJ. ]. Gilmartin, superintendent of
the Mexican Northwestern Railroad at
Chihuahua.
c. II. Marders, express agent.
Henry Schofield, superintendent,
Juarez.
X. L. Hatfield, businessman, Ell Pa
so, Tex.
Thomas l.. Kened.
J. l. Morris, road master.
L. Williams, employee MADEIRA Lum-
Der Co.
]. w. Webster, conductor in charge
of train.
Edward ]. McCutcheon, engineer.
About 80 other persons. including
some unknown Americans, were
aboard.
From American Consul Edward at
Juarez came the information that Vice
Consul Zoeller had left with relief
train for Cumbre tunnel, with about
80 Americans and a guard of so Con-
stitutionalist soldiers. They took many
collins with them as they had little
hope of finding alive any Of the pas
sengers or crew of the train.
Mr. Edwards added that 1t had been
positively established in the latest tel
egram received from near the scene
of the disaster that the train was not
held up or in any way disturbed by
the bandits before it entered the tun-
mel, and that it was also known that
the bandits had departed about two
hours before the train entered the
south end of the tunnel. Seven stock
cars had been set on fire at the north
end, which ignited the timbers in the
tunnel and it is the superstition of
those near the scene that the passen-
ger train collided with the burning
cars. The consul said opinion was di-
vided as to whether the bandits in
tended to destroy lives.
Secretary Bryan was busy at the
state department all day answering
messages of inquiry concerning the
Americans and telegraphing instruc-
tons to the nearest consuls. The ad-
vices were shown to President Will
son.
