Supply Train G-ets Through to Naavrro. (By C. ! Hnjrerty, Associated Press AVsr Correspondent.) GMhtiahua, Mex- Jan. 3. "With, the Insurrectos routed from their strong er f , ' hold Trest of here, The government Is about to attempt the pacification of the country east of here, commonly called the Ojinagra district. Gen. Iiuqne, iho relieved Gen. Navarro at Pedernales, arrived here today frith 500 troops detached from Navarro's forces for thS purpose of proceed ing; cast on the train. He also had a number of sick and crippled soldiers. The supply train -which, left here jesterdaj reached Pedernales, vthich Is beyond Mai Paso, -without Incident. The telegraph wlre was repaired today to that .point. Campaigning In the Ojlnajra district Is lery difficult. The country Is mostly desert and at times a march of 35 and 40 miles must be made Trtthout any water sae such as is carried along. An estimate of the total federal dead in the western Chihuahua Campaign may bo made from a subscription list which has been started for the relief of the widows of the dead soldiers. The list of dead numbers 105. This In- eludes those who have been killed outright, or who have died of their wounds, or sickness. -It does- not include the unmarried dead. The list was placed in the Foreign clnbtoday and met with a generous response, despite the severe business depression. Battle is Fought at Janos 1 Near There, Operator Re ports, However. WIRE UP TO THE MORMON COLONIES The band of ii-urrectos operating south 'of Giudad Juarez along tbe Mexico North "Western rairn-ay seem to have removed themselves from the line, i according- to telegraphic communication 1 received Monday afternoon in Juarez. For the first time .in -vreeks'the opera tor at Casas Grandes succeeded -n sending a message to .Juarez. He -said tsaat alhad been Jiuiet there; that no insurxeetos had been seen, but v.-hen questioned further the. connection -was broken. His message came'-tboiit 4 oclock and a few -minutes later, the operator at San Pedro, telegraphed that all was quiet in that mining district. He said that a band of 3S men had gone, having -caused no' trouble in the vicinity. They had gone west, he saia, and added that a report had it that a battle had occurred at llanos, a small town about 30 miles overland ride west of Sd.n Pedro. The operator at San Pedro tnad heard that the telegraph operator who was a member of the in surrecto band had been killed, but that no other fatality Jas reported. Again the telegraph refused to work and no more particulars were obtained. It is thought that the many telephones Jin use on the line paused the difficulty In service. ' A Surprise Message. The message frrfm Casas Grandes came as a surprise, for it was not" known here that the lines were being repaired. The information secured from the operator at San Pedro may be tne basis of the government bulletin which stated that the band uffder Cant. Guer- I rero had been defeated and its leader killed. This in the government reports Was reported as occurring at Casas t Grandes. No word has been received from George Eutledge, local superintendent of the road, since the departure of his work train. In addition to the train of local ifreight which departed Monday morning for Guzman, no more trains have gone out. "it is expected that Mr. Hutledge will have repaired the re mainder of the burned bridges smith of Guzman by Tuesday night. It is his in tention to run the work train ac far south as passible, and he may proceed as far as Pearson, before returning to Juarez. Wire Is Cnt. What the operator at San Pedro said regarding the fight at Janos is possible since the federal telegraph oiflce at Juarez will not accept messages for Ascension, which is an inland town north of Janos. A federal wire runs from Juarez to Ascension, and thence to Janos. This -wire has been cut. Colonia Piar, a Mormon settlement. Is a few miles northwest of Ascension.

REPUBLi;0A MINE IS PAID A VISIT A letter under date of Dec 28, to The Herald from its correspondent at La Trinidad, Sonora, says: Ocampo is now in rebel hands. While everything around here is quiet as usual, the revolutionists are gaining in strength just oyer the line la the state of Chihuahua. The mail carrier came in from Mores yesterday and reports that on the 23rd at two oclock when he arrived at that pla o there were 160 or more revoltosos in arms, collected there, and that by three oclock 125. of them began marching to ward Ocampo, which is 25 miles from Mores. They were In command of Nico las Bravos and well armed and equipped -with plenty of -ammunition and provis ions, some being mounted and some afoot. A few of th,em had no arms, but they said they -would roll rocks down the mountains on the town of Ocampo, and when the town "was taken they would get plenty of arms. Ocampo is situated "in a deep canyon, and, as the country Is -v ery rough, they can roll 1 the rocks down on the .town and de stroy it, as such things have been done in other mountains by the Yaqis in former years. Cut tbe Wire. The 125 men who started from Mores made a camp for the night at a place called Cuista Colorado, about eight or ten miles from Mores. ""There they i cut the telegraph wires and connected them with the instrument they had with them and talked over the -wires with the 40 men they had left at Mores in barracks; stated that they had killed osme steers, and that when they arriv ed at Ocampo they expected to be joined there by 250 men from the Arochuibo country and 250 men from Gepachic district and Tutuachic country and claimed their force would amount to 800 men when they arrived at Ocampo. Tliey expected the entire force to ar rive in Ocampo not later than the 25th (Christmas), and on that day would at tack Ocampo. They claimed that while the presidente of Ocampo was loyal, yot the majority of the. inhabitants were in sympathy with them. As Soon as Ocampo is taken they said they would commence moving toward the city of Ghihuahua. Ocampo is Taken. A man named Onicimo Mellndez pass ed through here yesterday from Mores and the Republica mine and told us that on the 25th a telephone message was received there that the rv-ul jsos badvtaken possession of Ocampo -with-! nut any fighting and had lefl 20Q of their party there and 300 of ti.em had returned to Mores and 280 haa st-arted Contlnued on PAge 'Trro.) Press .Var Correspondent.) t consisting of 37 bottles, were broken at his feet, and It is believed that he was to be shot, but after the scare he was turned loose. x An American who has arrived here, confirmed repeated previous stories of the disorganized condition of the, in siirrectos. He added to the explanation of the drunken ranchero the story of how the latter roped an American named Cotton and after mistreating him, turned him loose. This was one of the reasons why the revolutionists executed him. Unconfirmed reports have it that the insurrectos have retreated to Guerrero, but this is doubtful. Some time ago several of the chiefs told a correspond ent that they could not attempt to de fend that towny as it is situated in a hollow surrounded by heights on which an enemy would have "all the advantage. LOiOII Anarchists Fortify Them selves and Defy 'Police Until Killed. THEIR FORTlS BURNED OVER THEM London, Eng., Jan. Z. Holding at bay for hours hundreds of policemen, troops and guardsmen, a .band fit sus pected anarchists, almost in the heart of the city today maintained their de fence until the house they had convert-, ed into a fortress collapsed under an attack of flames and buried the crim inars in the ruins. Six bodies were found in the wreck age. Several firemen were injured and a number of persons wounded by bullets from the beseiged. The affair was one of the most -remarkable criminal outbreaks London has ever known, and it took on the dimensions of a battle. It began early and continued until the afternoon, when the civil author ities at last became'-masters of the sit uation. "Vast crowds gathered in the narrow streets leading to the scene, while word, of the desperate character of the fighting ran throughout London, caus ing wide-spread excitement and alarm. At one time, the beseiging force called for machine guns, but these were not brought Into actual use. "Were Marderers. The men, who were suspected of hie ing the murderers and friends of the murderers of thVee policemen -who -were killed recently by anarchistic burglars, occupied a four story brick house on Sidney street a narrow thor oughfare. The police, discovering their headquarters, surrounded the place and were raet with a voney of shots two detectives being wounded, sergeant Leeson receiving a bullet in the lungs. The police poured in from all parts of the city and took positions command ing the house. Whenever the officers j approached, a volley of bullets spat tered tne pavement. A detachment of 60 men from the Scots Guards arrived later from the tower, and fired two rounds Into the building, the inmates replying. It was Impossible to estimate the number of inmates,' as they were armed with magazine rifles, and fired with gTeat rapidity. As the situation became more serious! thousands of onlookers were driven back and the space cleared for a radius of half a mile from the be seiged house. House Set Afire. While the soldiers kept up the fusil lade at the -windows of the house, loads of straw were hurried to the place, and lighted near the building. The flames soon communicated to the house. The fire brigade was summoned and di vided its energies betwen putting out the fire and trying to flood out the outlaws by streams of water through the windows. Soon after 3 oclock the roof fell in, carrying the anarchists down among the flames. Just before the supports gave way one of the , desperados attempted to dash from the building, shooting in every -direction. He met a volley from the soldiers and staggereu back into the house, which was a fiery furnace. SAD WEATHER THE CAUSE OF A WRECK Fog, Sleet and Frost Residt 'ia Train Collision in New York. New Tork, Jan. 3. Sixteen persons were injured, two fatally in a collision of two -Brooklynvtrolley cars early to day. One car ran away on a long In cline, leading from the elevated line to the surface and crashed into another car in a dense fog. The brakes of the runaway car re fused to work, probably on account of the rails, which were slippery from sleet and fog. ater Cold Snap Hits Alligator Pool, Too, Just as the boys were getting accus tomed to their rather hard seats on the bulging sides of the water" wagon, what did an unfeeling and unsympathetic (-weather man do but freeze said pro- J.1U1UUU euiue unui it was stranaea on the upper end of Upson, where the riders on the sky juice chariot were forced to desert their newly adopted crait ior tne more congenial station ( along the bar rail of a steam heated saloon. f And this only the third day of grace for the "resolved that we, the party of the first part" boys who had solemnly sworn by all that was good and holy that Old Man Bobze and. themselves had partedx company for ever and a day.

SCENE ONLY NINE MILES FROM OGDEN Ogden, Utah, Jan. 3 Southern Pacific train No. 1, the Overland limited, west bound, was held up.by two masked bandits early this morning at Reese, nine miles ,wesf of Ogden. William lavis, a negro porter, was shot dead, and A. W. Taylor, another porter, fatally" -wounded. 'One passenger was also slightly wounded," and a hun dred passengers on the train were re lieved of their valuables.-1- The robbers did not attempt to enter the express car. but devoted their entire attention to the Pullmans, where-they made a rich haul among California bound pasengers, holdings the train more than an hour. The trainmen also lost their money and Jewelry. Brutal Murder of Porters. The killing of William Davis and the wounding of A. W. Taylor, both por ters, was unprovoked. The negroes were in the drawing room of the Pull man when the bandits entered and they made no move to resist. One of the thugs asked fiis confederate, "What will we do with them?V The reply was: "Kill them; they are only niggers," and instantly came the mur derous response from the rifles. Twenty-seven passengers were on the train and all hut three were searched. Railroad ofricials place the total loss at $1100 to $1200. A woman who hesi tated to obey the command to give up her valuables was struck a severe blow in the breast with the muzzle of a rme. two otner passengers were clubbed over the head with a revolver. Word of the robbery soon reached this city and the sheriff and police de partment started posses for the scene of the holdup In automobiles and a special train. The posse of deputies' and police officials at noon tracked the two rob bers to a point four miles beyond the scene of the robbery. The money loss among- the passen gers is from $2000 to '$2500. Hiding is OgdeH; The police are of the opinion that the robbers-are in bJding in-Ogden and are making; IrtjusB p"brouse" canva'ss of roaming places and hotels in the railroad district. , The theory is based on the fact that the robbers, after holding the overland limited, uncoupled the engine and compelled the engineer to take the switch and back toward Ogden. A short distance east it met a freight train, blockingfurther progress. The robbers held up the crew of the freight train, destroyed th,e telegraph apparatus in the caboose, then took to the wagon road afoot. About four miles .from Peese, they met two daughters of bishop Waymanjt, of the Mormon church, returning home from a dance. One of the rob bers politely requested the girls to hand over their purses and "beat it" The highwaymen then drove toward Ogden. Last June, the Oregon short line train was held up and robbed at Five Points crossing, just north of Ogden. In both instances a tall and short man conducted the hold ujj, in very much the same manner. The Southern Pacific and allied Har riman roads wall offer "a heavy reward for the capture of the robbers. HOLD BUT POLITE ROBBER OX TEXAS IXTERURBAX CAR Sherman, Tex., Jan. 3. A lone rob ber at' midnight last night held up an intenurban car of the Texas Traction company v bound from Dallas to Sher man. He boarded the car at Dallas and presented a ticket for Sherman. Between Anna and Van Alstyne he covered the conductor with a revolver and compelled him to deliver $3.50. The bandit did It politely, however, and took the conductor's address, saying- he regretted the necessity which forced gon reezes: Resolutions ?WayyOff and Makes Porch Sleepers Hedge on ernment thing-a-jig- that registers the mean temperature was feeling un usually peevish Tuesday morning and the temperature was the meanest that has been known in thse parts for some time.
