IRepubIican A. P. Leased WireJ

BISBEE, Dec 26.-With the ther- mometer lowering near zero. Bisbee is facing severe suffering. due to the shortage of the coal supply. The Copper Queen Mining Company has given twenty tons for distribution in three hundred pound lots. and one of the local fuel companies has carload due at any moment. This promises to relieve. only temporarily. the need. Suffering among the poorer families and among the Mexicans is great South of the border at Naco, Sonora, and at Cananea, the suffer- ing is intense. according to reports.
 To be carried with his tent, 200 yards from the side of a hill to d rocky gulch, and still live. was the experience of Dan Holland a pros pector, who was working at the Juniper Flats Gold Mining Company's property near Bisbee, when a severe windstorm broke over the country early yesterday morning.

Republican A. P Leased Wirel

The TeutonIc aIIies are favorable to an immediate meeting of delegates from the belligerent states at some neutral point in order that exchange of views with regard to peace may be carried out.
 This has been declared by the Ger man government in replying to the re- cent note of President Wilson suggest ina that the beligerent nations make known their basis for peace. It is an nounced in the note that Germany is of the opinion that the work of pre- venting future wars can be begun only after the end of the present struggle, but that then Germany will be ready to collaborate with the United States "in this exalted task
 Nothing has yet come through to in dicate what will be the tenor of the replies of the entente allies to Pres dent Wilson's suggestion and, so far as is known, none of them has yet given an answer to the announcement made to them in the note of the Teutonic al- lies that Germany is ready to discuss peace.
 Meantime, the premiers or Great Britair's colonies have been urged to attend at an early date-not later than tho end Of February-a series of spe cial meetings Of the war cabinet.

Says No lime Limit

NEW YORK, Dec 26.-Luis Cabrera, chairman of the Mexican delegation on the Mexican American joint commis- siOn said here late tonight that no time limit had been fixed for General Farranza, either to accept or reiect the protocol proposed by the Mexican American conference at Atlantic City. \. J. There was no understanding during the sessions of the joint com mission, he added, which gave the American commissioners authority to impose such time limit
 General Carranza, Mr Cabrera de- clared, would have ample time to con- slider what action he would take. MT. Cabrera said he was surprised when informed that Q reply was expected by the United States government today He asserted that he had intended to take a vacation beginning tomorrow, but that he had altered his plans and would remain here
 Up to a late hour tonight, Mr Ca hrera said he had received no instruc- tions from General Carranza. The re- latiOns between the United States and Mexico he continued, are the same as when the tentative agreement was first signed by the commissioners at Atlantic City
 Remember" said Mir Cabrera. that the next move in adjusting the rela- tions between this country and Mexico is not General Carranza's."
 When the joint commission ad- iOurned in November MT. Cabrera added. the understanding of the Mex ican members was that the joint com mission would meet on January g. in probably New York or Philadelphia. No word. Mir -Abrera declared, had been received by the commissioners regarding the loan to Mexico

 C0LD WEATHER
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26.--Far western states were in the grip today of the coldest weather of the winter In Helena, Mont, thermometers regis tered % degrees below zero. There was more than a foot of snow in east ern Washington and Montana and transcontinental trains were running behind schedule.

'CARRhNzA HAS
 N0T REPLIED ID
 DEMAND 1T ]. {.
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

lRepuDHCan R. r. Leased wire
 WASHINGTON, Dec 26.-Although General Carranza had not replied to- night to the demand of the United States that he either ratify or repud- fate the protocol drawn by the Mex ican- American joint commission, the expiration of the time limit was not made the occasion for formally declar- inc the negotiations at an end. While the time expired at midnight, officials were inclined to take into considera- tion that a reply might have been ue- layed and indicated that favorable rep.N even though a day or more late would not be rejected inasmuch as all adjustment of the international diff LLltles was the chief object
 Refusal to accept the terms of the agreement under which American troops would be withdrawn from Chi auahGa means the closing of negotia- aiOns through the joint commission for adjustment of the questions at issue between the United States and the de facto government of Mexico. What ef- feet the new situation then presented would have on the policy of the United States is not known, but it was said at the state department today that any 1uruner move Wodld be maue through the, usual channels and not by the commission, which for more than three ponths attempted to effect amcable settlement Dr. John R. Mott one of the American commissioners conferred with Secretary Lansing during the day and both expressed the hope that Car Tanza's s reply would be favorable The more general opinion among govern 3nent officials however, was that the ,l declaration that American troops must } c withdrawn internationally and that any further discussion on information al subjects could not take place while foreign troops violated the sovereignty of Mexico.
 If Carranza persists in his refusal. there will be nothing for the members of the joint commission to do but to hold one last conference to close the record and say goodbyes.
 Luis Cabrera, chairman of the Mex lean group. spent Christmas here. the guest of Ambassador designate Are ,dondo, but was not in communication with the American chairman and re- turned last night to New York for the meeting with his colleagues today
 II favorable answer finally is re- turned by Carranza, the conferences will he resumed to discuss such sub Jects as the creation of an internation- ]i court of claims. the treatment of foreigners. sanitation by cooperation of international forces. modifics tions in neutrality laws and other questions affecting the interests of the two countries.
 Disruption of the commission would, It is believed, make very slim the chances of Carranza obtaining an American loan, without which those N' in his own council concede it would be, almost impossible for him to continue the task of conducting an ad- ministration beset by organized i bandits

rRepublican A. p. Leased Wirel


 FL PASO. Dec. 26.-A report was received here late today by sources known to be close to Francisco Villa and by government agents, saying that Villas forces captured San Luis Potosi yesterday from the de facto garrison No details Of tho fight were given. Unusual interest IS attached to the repott here, be- cause of the fact that many of the foreign population of Torreon, who left there before Villa attacked, went to San Luis Potosi.
 San Luis Potosi is southeast of Torreon on the National railroad line between Aguas Calientes and Tam pico. Tampico is believed to be Villas objective in order to obtain port through which he can imporr arms. ammunition and supplies. Villa was reported to be between Torreon and Chihuahua City. and was said to be preparing to launch an attack against Chihuahua City soon.
 In anticipation of tEis attack Gen. eral Francisco Mdrguia was reported to have ordered General Francisco Gonzales, former commander in Juarez, to proceed south at once with his entire brigade to reinforce the Chihuahua City garrison. General Murgua also requested all of the available troops from his brother. General Jose Murquia's command ir Juarez. to strengthen the forces at the state capital
 4 Mexican who claimed to have de- serted from the command of Mariana TamcZ, a colonel in Villas army, ar rived here today and said Tamez was east of Villa AhUmada, eighty three miles south of Juarez with column of 400 Villa followers. This force was believed to have been the one reported to be operating south of Juarez.
 Tamez was colonel in the Car ranza garrison in JuareZ at one time, and after planning mutiny, left with small force of his men and joined Villa.
 Reports Villa Defeated
 CHIHUAHUA CITY, Mex, Dec 26. General Murguia reported today that his forces had defeated Villa bands both at Guerrero and Santa Rosalia. with heavy losses in men and war material for the rebels
 Speaking of the loss of Torreon. the general said that this should not have occurred. as the Carranza gar rison there was ample for the citv's protection and well supplied with arms and ammunition He added
