.Rev0keOrderS .Regarrisoning
 Fort Whipple
(From Tuesdays Daily3

Official advices were received yes terday afternoon by Captain II. Han nah, U. s. army, from the secretary of war at Washington, revoking or ders for the re-garrisoning of Fort Whipple, issued over two weeks ago
 Last Saturday it was stated tha, such action was contemplated, this news omanating from military cen ters in Texas, but the official orders received yesterday admit of no doubt as to what disposition has been de- finitely and finally decided upon.
 Captain Hannah on arriving at Whipplc to begin rehabilitating, was in charge as quartermaster, and had proceeded to such an extent that he was practically ready for garrisonine the post, when the unexpected arose much 10 his surprise. All government property was being placed in fine condition, and it was believed that the first detail of troops would be in their barracks later this week. Mili- tary supplies were being received, but which under orders received ycster- day from the war department are to be transferred at once to Fort Hua- chuca, on the Mexican border near Nogalcs.
 It is stated that the sudden change in this action to rehabilitate Whipple arises over a new order of the war in abandoning early plans for enlisting home guard defense of 25,000 men, and curtailing this force to only 1900 for the special duty
 It is intimated in military circles that Whipple will, in the very near futur6 be occupied by the war de- partmeA,, but for what purposes is not known.
 Hundreds of letters had been re- ceived in this city from officers who were conversant with Whipple's for military uses. com mendi1g the action taken to restore it, and in some instances officers were very anxious to receive stations here.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul today issued orders that every pos siblc train be cancelled to save coal. The Armour and Swift packing plants were closed and the employees put to work clearing the tracks of snow. Meanwhile, the weather bureau has issued a warning of another heavy gale, which is sweeping toward the city. leaving in its wake snow-cover- ed states throughout the southwest
 All ? steam railroads entering Chi cago resumed limited service today but officials said it would be at least two days before anything like normal passenger schedules could be estab- lished.
 As soon as each railway line was opened efforts were directed to bring ing into the city fuel and milk trains and was announced no attempt would be made toward resumption of regular passenger service until the shortage of fuel and milk had been met. All coal in the railroad yards was confiscated by County Fuel Ad- Durham and orders were given 10 the railroads to divert coal on thci- tracks to the most available yard or to- track. Every available motor truck and similar vehicle has been called into service by the fuel administration for moving coal. It was thought the fuel situation would be quickly cleared.
 Only a few sections of the city were supplied with milk yesterday and today.
 The Union Stock Yards today be- gan to emerge from the huge piles of snow that covered the pens and the switching tracks in the yards. Stock rains began unloading with a sem olance of usual activity, but numbers of cattle and hogs were found frozen in the cars.

Activities of Bandits In Mexico Causes Residents
 Of Big Bend to Fear Raid

Big Bend district, because he always wears three belts filled with ammuni- ton. They said there were no proof that any of the raiders were Mexican federal officers or soldiers and they denied that one of the leaders of the band who was killed wa sa federal officer.
 Reports from other parts of the border are similar to those brough, back by the cattlemen. Food is scarce on the Mexican side, there is little work for the men to do and the temptation to raid the well stocked stores and ranches on the American side is too strong for them, accord. ing to these reports, and raids on out of the way ranches and small settle ments, may be expected at any time, according to these reliable sources.

Doomed Ship Sends A Farewell Message As Waves Close Over Her Following a Collision With Unknown Vessel.
H A0oe4st ted Press.

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Jan. IA Agents of the American steamship Texan, a vessel of l4,0O0 tons, today received advices from naval authori- ties that she was sinking at sea.
 The naval authorities did not state the cause of the Texans distress, but reports reaching shipping circles here from other sources were that the yes- sol had been rammed amidship in col hsion with another ship
 Ii was said a steamer which had picked up the Texans S. O. s. calls was hurrying to her assistance and that the crew of 43 had taken to the boats.
 The Texan left here recently with a cargo of nitrates bound for French port, agents of the vessel stated
 In the absence of definite word re- garding the accident, shipping men expressed the opinion that the Texan may have encountered an iceberg. Ef- lords were made by government radio stations to communicate with ships with which the Texan might have been in collision. The fact that the Texan apparently was sinking soon after being rammed, without word as to assistance by another vessel in saving the crew, made the accident puzzling, naval authorities said.
 Messages reaching here from an- other steamer arriving there today re- ported that at I a. m. she picked up an 8. O. g. from the Texan, reporting that she had been struck amidship and was sinking. The last message from the Texan said :"Good-bye-no more"
