 Many of the Mexicans here show undoubted evidence of being Villa soldiers. But nothing has developed 80 far, however, to indicate these sympathizers will carry their sym. pathies In action.
 General Pershing, in an effort to convince the people of the Americans good intentions. has become to some extent, a judge of petty grievances, of the Mexicans.
 Today, for example, a scout was sent to get a cowhide, with instruc. tions that the money would be paid later. He was misunderstood, for two hours later two small boys aD. peared in front of the Generals campfire, crying bitterly.
 The General, squatting Mexican fashion in front of them. was told something which they considered ter rlble had happened to their fathers cowhide. They believed 1t was not to be paid for. The General handed them the price of the hide in Mexi- can silver dollars.
 The price of the few articles of food which can be purchased here have been fixed by Genereal Persh' ing SO that both the Mexicans and the soldiers may not have any cause for complaint. The price for eggs has been agreed upon as five cents apiece, Mexican silver, and fifty cents per dozen, equivalent to twen. ty-five cents per dozen American money. Other prices are about in proportion.

B|SBEE Is IN FOR L0NC, COLD
 WINTER, WITHOUT MUCH GOAL

YOakGm and will be shipped here just as soon as the Mexican gangs in the mountains can get in through the snow and cut them.
 With the exception of two cars of coal due tomorrow for the Independ- ent Fuel company. and one for the Warren company soon. no coal is ex- pected by private coal companies here.
 It is all coniscated in the north. much by the Santa Fe railway compa- ny at Gallup and even in Colorado. it is said
 Last month. according to word from Gallup. the Santa Fe used 5000 tons of the Gallup output. confscated an- other 1000 tons. leaving only 1000 for the coal company to supply its custom CTS all over the southwest
 The Santa Fe. it is rumored. had contemplated putting oil burners in it's engines. only to fail at the last moment, when it had not taken the precaution to store a supply of coal and now is taking Gallup's winter output
 The Arizona and New Mexico cor poration commissions are doing all in their power to relieve the situation. but the word of Gallup may be taken as final. that practically no coal can be sent from there during January and possibly not until much later.
 The situation resolves itself into re- conciling the district to the shipments of coal over by the Copper Queen and to wood. shipped in from the noun tains nearby.
 What coal has slipped to local deal CTS. it appears. has cost them practi- cally as much as they are getting for it. As Yoakum said last night: We're being damned lot and we take 1t good naturedly. but we're not prohting by this coal famine. We are trying in every way possible to help. not hinder the situation"

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-COnferences between representatives of the rail- ways and the four brotherhOods of railway employees at which were dis cussed the possibilities of a settle ment of the eight hour controversy. were discontinued abruptly today when it became apparent that an a. greement could not be reached. It was said on both sides that there would be no meetings until the su- preme court hands down it's decisions on the constitutionality of the Adam son act.
 Reject Wage Schedule
 The break came when the railroad representatives refused to concede the demands of the brotherhood chiefs for an agreemeni-looking toward the enforcement of the new wage .sched ule, fixed by the Adamson law, which goes into effect January 1.
 The brotherhood chiefs held that their men had the right to begin draw ing wages according to the scale pro- vided by the Adamson law immediate after the law became effective. ire spective of the suits brought by the railways to test its validity.
 A statement issued by Elisha Lee. chairman of the conference commit tee of railroad managers declared:
 Test Case To Decide
 'The railways will await the decis- ion of the supreme court on the Adam son law test case. This agreement with the Department of Justice with :he railroads becomes effective Ianu- ary l. The rights of the employees in the interval thus will be amply pro tected.

The District now finds itself the in nocent goat" of a freeze-Out game. in which the only solution appears to be to "sit tight" and wait for the coming of spring
 The fuel situation resolves itself into forcing Bisbee either to use wood or to subsist upon the meagre supply of coal which the Copper Queen is turning over daily for public distribu- tion.
 No relief ahead can be seen
 Local coal operators frankly throw up their hands in despair at getting coal from any source whatever for the next month or two to come. Perhaps an occasional car may slip through but nothing substantial.
 Letters to local coal men from Daw- son. Gallup and numerous other points of supply bear the same sad message, that there's nothing doing, some of them adding that no coal may be ex- pected from them during the entire winter season.
 Hope still lives that the Copper Queen will continue to come to the Districts aid. as it has been doing. Yesterday two cars more of Dawson coal came in on the siding. and 1t Is understood at least one of these cars will be placed in the hands of the Warren District Commercial club for public disposal.
 The Bisbee Fuel X Feed company has about eight cars of wood on hand, and is having it sawed as fast as pos sible. but already there are over 500 orders in. and the last ot these will not be supplied till some time next week. Manager Yoakum said last night if the people would reconcile themselves to wood. he'd try to keep all of his old customers supplied. and many new ones. Upwards of thirty cars of wood have been ordered by

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2S.-One more appeal for modification of the protocol providing for the withdrawal of Amer ican troops from Mexico is made by General Carranza in a message deliv- cred to Secretary Lane today by Luis Cabrera, chairman of the Mexican members of the joint commission. The Mexican first chief replied to the in sistent American demand that the pro tocol signed by his spokesmen at At lantic City be ratified, with an eight hundred word document in which he failed to accede to the demand, but refrained from writing anything that could be construed as a flat repudia- tion
 u. s. To Study Plan.
 The latest suggestion for changes now will be considered by the three American representatives. Secretary Lane, J, R. Mott and Judge George Gray.
 Secretary Lane advised his col leagues late today of the character of the reply and asked them to meet him here as soon as they conveniently could.
 Answer in Week.
 Early next week joint session of the Mexican-American commission will be held at which the Americans will give the Mexicans their answer and on its nature depends the future course of the commissioners, who were di- rected more than four months ago to effect, if possible, the adjustment of questions at issue between the two countries
 Neither Mir Cabrera nor Secretary Lane would discuss the nature of Car ranza's reply Mr Cabrera left for New York soon after its delivery and Secretary Lane declined to reveal it's character until it had been submitted to his colleagues. The same reticence was displayed at the Mexican embassy.
 Mexicans Optimistic.
 It was learned that the Mexican com missioners were confident that no in superable barrier. had been raised by CarranZa. It was asserted that the ut most care had been exercised to keep out of the reply any expressions or sentiments that might make the situa- tion more complicated Sr that would in any way offend the representatives of the American government
 Withdrawal is Issue.
 The chief insistence of Carranza has been that the American troops should be withdrawn internationally, was one the American commissioners would not consider. It was said tonight that Carranza's insistence on that point was less pronounced and that the change in his attitude had been wrought largely by the altered mill tary situation in northern Mexico.
 Rise of Villa.
 There appeared reason to believe that one of the conditions to which Carranza now objects is that under which he would be obliged to garrison the territory evacuated by the Ameri- cans as they marched out. It was pointed out that since the protocol was drafted the increased activities of Villa and the steady growth of his

 SIGNING PROTOCOL AND
 OFFERS H|S OWN TERMS
Patient America Sends Commissioners Back Conference to Consider First Chiefs ProposaRefusa to Sign Is Ac companed by Mild Plea for Unconditional Withdrawal Of American Troops from Mexico

army of bandits has made 1t difficult for Carranza to agree to use any con- siderable part of his army in the dis trict now occupied by Pershing when it might be necessary to use the same force in meeting more active moves Of Villa at other points.
 The situation was discussed by Secretary Lane and MT. Cabrera after the communication was delivered.
 Those who have been in touch with Carranzas representatives asserted that in his latest representation of the matter he expressed a willingness to ratify the agreement if more definite date for the troop withdrawal were specified and if more lenient attitude were displayed towards the question of increased bandit activity.
 Admits Weakness.
 Carranza holds that his government is doing all it humanly can to restore order in the north and that it will con tinue to do so, but that the presence of the American troops on Mexican soil is making the task more difficult by giving Villa and his lieutenants a pretext for using the disaffected to join him in his fight against Carranza.
 The failure of CarranZa fiatly to re- pudiate the protocol made it appear today that the Americans would give his communication due consideration and that the next meeting of the joint Commission might be but the first of a series at which would be continued the efforts to effect a solution of the different problems.
 Arredondo Let Out?
 An interesting development in the Mexican situation generally was pre- sented today in reports to the state and war departments of the changing con ditions in Mexico. When the Commis- sioners adjourned in Atlantic City there were four administration officials who believed that CarranZa's power was seriously menaced. Since then CarranZa had shown strength. The re- port persisted today that Ambassador designate Arredondo had been recalled by his government and that he was to be succeeded by Consul de Negri, of San Francisco, who would be in charge without diplomatic rank. MT. Arredondo denied the story categor- ically, and the state department was without information.
