Serious.
EL PASO, Tex. Mar. 12. Condi
tions bordering on panic reign al
most throughout northern Mexico to
night. Stirred by the belief that the
revolutionary movement ras reached
a critical stage, the Insurrectos In
the state of Chihuahua and Boner
are reported to have reached activity
in tearing up railroads and telegraph
wires. Numerous twons. according
to reports, are under siege by the in
surrectos and thousands of .women
and children, cut off from food sup
plies, are helpless.
Hot, Short Fight.
Following the receipt of corrected
derails concerning the battle at Casa
Grandes. a town of about 500 Inhab
itants, about 160 miles southwest of
El Paso, where 80 men were killed
last Monday, news reached here of a
fight at noon today at Uuapri on the
border across the river from Doug
lass, Arli. Five hundred kisurrectos
attacked 300 federal troops, but were
repulsed with a toss of 35 and wound
ed on both sides.. The fighting was
short and the insurrectos armed with
rifles only, soon scattered under the
Are of a machine gun. What is be
lieved to be a reliable report of the
casualties at Casa Grandes says that
15 Americans were killed and IT
Americans taken prisoners. The fol
lowing, at first believed to have been
killed, are known to have escaped:
Lieut, Colonel Garibaldi, Raul Ma
dero, brother of Francisco I. Madero,
so-called provisional president of the
insurrectos; Captain Gultterras and
Cutl Valencia of El Paso. Captain
Euardo Hay, a Mexican of Madero's
personal staff was not killed but was
taken prisoner. Raoul Madero was
wounded.
R. F. Harringtoln, a former ser
geant In the United States army who
lived at El Paso: Robert E. lee, end
Robert Evans of Ban Francisco and
Roy Glenn, a boy of Mineral Springs,
Texas, were killed,' The names of
Has Thousand Men.
A letter written by Madero was re
ceived here today In which he de
nied he made another attack on the
town after he was driven away. He
asserts, however, that he has gather
ed a force of 1,000 men and now Is
within a few miles of the town. His
explanation of the defeat Is that sev
eral scouts sent out to reconnolter
before the attack failed to report the
coming of Colonel Cuellar with a fed
eral force.
The unexpected arrival of the fed
eral resulted In a panic among the In
surrectos. The sefcuts, he said, had
been shot. The news from Mexico
City that President Diaz, had decided
to take advantage of provisions of
the constitution so that summary
death may be Imposed by the military
authorities for any arts of violence
and that the, Mexican government
has decided to wage a sharp and de
cisive war of extermination speedily
to end hostilities has spread through
out the Insurgent ranks.

the revolutionary forces hereafjer will

that the attitude of the Mexican gov

No word has come from the city

last report was that the food question
had become critical. The presence In
the city of 2,000 federal troops under
General Juan Hernandez, while look
ed upon as sufficient protection
against an attack, is thought to have
more than ordinarily depleted rations.
Like conditions prevail In many
smaller towns.
The best Inforation obtainable here
as to the strength of the opposing

Is that the federals under General Itta

FLOATING DEBT OF
NATION REFUNDED
Boundary Dispute With France
Is Settled and Judicial Sys
tern to be Changed
MONROVIA, -Ljberla, Thursday,
Msr. . It seems now certain
Liberia will' be saved. The
llanactal cloud t which recently
hung so threateningly has been
lifted at lost and clean hortson can
be viewed. The Visit of Roland P.
Kalner, financial representative of Li
beria to Monrovia during the recent
session of the legislature, served to
bring about this agreeable condition.
He remained only 14 days, yet In that
space of time he cleaned up all local
obstacles which Were In the way of
obtaining the much needed loan.
Three MU Harrier.
There were three main barriers to
the proposed loan; the adjustment of
the Kanre Lahun question with Eng
land, the ratlfllcatlon of the
new boundary dellmlnation treaty
with France and the reform of the
Judicial system1, of Liberia. To settle
these questions was the ostensible
purpose of the visjf of Mr. Falkner.
The first and second were absoluetly
necessary to obtain- the consent of
England and France to and their co
operation In the readjustment of the
finances of Uberlay... Judicial reforms
were necessary to guarantee the safe
ty and security of capital Invested In
the country. ..V'--
There had been Strong opppsltlon
to both the yielding of the Kanre La
hun district to lflngland and the rat
ification of the new boundary with
France, and the . legislators were
afraid to consent to eit her, particular
ly on account of the approaching elec
tions. They were' loth to render the
dissatisfactions of 'the voters more
acute :itfW,iiilng.h .op,ulas
transferring this territory . to Eng.
land. The.; delay In ratifying tho
boundary agreement with France was
on the ground that It was unjust
usurpation, on the part of that gov
ernment.
lain, Unpleasant Truths.
At a luncheon given by President
Barclay, at which many senators and
representstlves were present Mr.
Falkner took orrnslon to drive home
some plain and unpleasant truths re
garding the Llh.rlan situation with
special reference to the credit of Li
beria In the money markets of the
world. That credit, he said, was ze
ro and would remain :enro If the lex
Islaturn did not at once settle these
threatentvg questions. Should they
be left open, he could not guarantee
any loan as the bankers would In no
circumstances consider refunding I.I-
iiari.'-. ,iin
There was no fun her hesitation on
lhe imrt of the IrirlslMture ns there
was no alternative for Liberia should
proposed
nnn fall through. The
dellmlnation treatv was signed and
Kanre Twihun pummmI under the fold
of the British Hat; In consideration
of 120, 000 and a utrlp of territory
about as larve as Kanre Lahun Itself,
situated on the sioiiheast of this ter
ritory. The art re affirming the Ju
dlrlary was tabled for the reason
that the secslon of lhe legislature was
too near the close to give the meas
ure due consideration. This act
would provide a simple system of cir
cuit courts with the republic divided
Into four Judicial districts and the
judges of the Supreme bench to act
In conjunction with these circuit
Judges.
One result of Mr. Falknee's visit
here was the appointment of an In
ternational debt commission to ascer
tain the amount of the floating debt
within the republic and to classify
this with a view to lis liquidation.
