lie,

Washington. Jan. Ex-senator AL
bert h. Fall, of New Mexico, received
tonight confirmatory information of
the secession of the State OF Oaxaca
and of the establishment there of a
government independent of Carranza.
The news came in a letter from G., w.
Knoblauch. former partner of John b.
in his house In Mexico City last
March.
Reports that Oaxaca had seeded
reached Washington several months
ago but details of how the secession
was accomplished and information
about conditions in that part OF Mex
leo have not been obtainable
The letter reads as follows:
Regarding CarranZa's ability to
handle the situation. ii is interesting
to learn that the State of Oaxaca has
seeded This is probably no news to
you, inasmuch as the secession took
place June of last year The Incl
dent leading up to this act was an
attempt on the part of one OF Car
ranzas officers Figueroa by name, to
capture the State Congress of Oaxaca.
Carranza Leader Killed.
"Figueroa had entered the State
with only forty men, ostensibly TO re-
cruit. but after a month or SO. one
night. he surrounded the building in
which the Congress was in session,
and captured the entire body. The
news OF this act was quickly carried
to the Juarez Indians and they went
to the rescue. cutting Figueroa's men
off from the railroad and forcing him
to release their prisoners.
"Figueroa himself was killed. After
that OaXaca seeded 1t ia claimed
that the separation is provisional
only, and that on the establishment
of a stable government the State will
return to the Mexican federation. but
my informant doubts II Oaxaca will
ever go back. IL is large and rich
State, and has several harbors and
landing places on the Pacific. II Is
intensely hostile to Northern Mexico.
and has at present an army of some
eighteen thousand men, commanded
by Higinlo Aguilar and a staff COM

most of them Chapultepec graduates.
"Carranza troops are not allowed
to enter the State, and his authority
IN not recognized In any way. Trains
do not run through TO the City or

NEW SEA PLANE NOT
LARGEST IN WORLD
Built That Win Eclipse Craft
at Washington.

New York. Jan. 23.-The sea plane
being built by the Navy Department
at the Washington navy yard will not
be the largest in the world. 1t will
not even eclipse those which already

foreign governments.
Henry Woodhouse, governor of the
Aero Club of America so declared to-
day.
More than 100 aeroplanes have
been built in this country already that
eclipse the one building in Washing
ton" he said THE point is this, that
while the Navy Department is still
experimenting with an aeroplane
equipped with two engines, Great
Britain already has received more
than 120 of them built in this coun-
try.
'"The seaplane building in Washing
ton will not have more than seventy
Ave feet wing spread. 1t will be
equipped with two motors of 140
horsepower each. The Gallodet Com
pany. of Norwich Conn, is building
a similar machine for the department
I'm Buffalo. however, the Curtiss
Company. is building for England an
aeroplane equipped with four motors.
Each OF these engines will be of ESQ
horsepower. The machine itself VIII

others have been ordered. AS ] have
said. Great Britain. alone has already
