re-. The members Of the Saracen army
are variously estimated at from 400
600 to To0onu. aud the histori.ns say
that $4,000 were killed on the field.
II Is suspected that these figures are a
gross exaggeratioa, but Il is certain
that few battles OF history have been

Columbus N. M, March 23.--Gen.
Luis Herrera, until recently Carranza
military governor of Chihuahua, has
renounced Carranza and announced in
favor of Villa, taking the field in
western Chihuahua with 1000 troops,
according to reliable information re-
ceived here.
The exact place at which Gen. Her.
rera's troops are encamped was not
indicated in the message-which
reached Columbus from a source
that has always been found to be
thoroughly reliable. 1t is believed.
however, that the troops, most of
whom recently constituted the Car
rama garrison at Chihuahua City, arc
some place in the distance between
the San Pedro and Chihuahua, and are
preparing to work north and west
toward the Americans under Gen.
Pershing.
N The sentiment of the people in this
region, which lies about 70 miles di-
rectly east of the Guerrero region, in
which Villa began his days as an out
law. is strongly in favor of the bandit
chieftain. His success in withstand
ing Porfirio Diaz's rurales eight years
curing which there was heavy price
on his head was through the loyalty
of the poems, who worship Pancho
| Villa as an idol.
1t is pointed out that the reported
remuneration of the Carranza standard
by. Herrera is the first to be made by
an important military leader of the de
facto government since the American
troops crossed the international line
Gen. Herrera was military governor
of Chihuahua at the time of the mas
sacre of eighteen Americans at Santa
Ysabel several weeks ago. 1t was re
ported that Carranza relieved him OF
Washington, March 23.-Grave ap
prehension regarding the outcome oi
the American expedition into Mexico
in pursuit of Villa was evident for the
first time in Washington last night at
ter receipt by the War Department d
a dispatch from Gen. Funston saying
a report reached him telling of the
Chihuahua revolt. Gen. Funston die
not disclose the source of his inform
i alton, and. so far as 1t could be
learned, no confirmation had reached
the State Department or the Mexican
embassy. Fear that the report might
| be true was not diSglIised in Official
circles, and developments were await
ed with tense anxiety. If Herrera and
his troops join Villa in the field, Off
cials believe other Carranza command
ers and troops may follow.
Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman OF
Illinois introduced a resolution to au
thorize and direct the President at
once to call for $4,000 volunteers for
service in Mexico.

Cider Under Ban of New Dry Law.

Cider, unless it has been sterilized,
is an intoxicating liqucr and cannot
be sold in Colorado under the pro.
visions Of the state prohibition law,
according to report made to Attor-
ney General Farrar by John Lynch,
state pure food inspector. Analysis
by Prof. John Ekeley,. state chemist,
has proved that benzoate of soda
does not prevent cider from ferment-
ing. 1t will be necessary therefore
for factories in this state which are
making cider to install sterilizine
equipment to comply with the pro
hibition law. Lynch says in his re-
port that there is no reason why ap
pie juice can not be handled in the
