Bishop Lillywhite yesterday wired to
senator Reed Smoot at Washington,
and was advised to give up the teams
and take a receipt from Gen. Sanjines.
This was done and payment was prom

The occupation of Granados about a
miles south of Bavispe by the rebels
indicates that th ir-surrectos already

Eope by System of Guerrilla
Warfare to Reentrench
Themselves in Portugal.
AGAIN OUTMANEUVER
GOVERNMENT TROOPS
Lisbon. Portugal, July 10. The roy
alist rebels in north Portugal again
outmaneuvered the Republican gov
ernment troops today. After the san
guinary encounter at cabe Celras de
Basto, where the royalists defeated the
Fifth regiment of infantry, reinforce
ments of government troops were
rushed to the 3cene.
A strong cordon of infantry this
morning advanced slowly on the insur
rectionary town, pouring in a heavy
fire. A few scattered shots were the
onlv response, and when the final as
sault was made with fixed bayonets,
the beseigers found tlie streets desert
ed and all the houses empty. The
ir-babitants bad withdrawn to the
mountains with the royalists and now
are hidden in the passes.
Royalist Attacks May Continue.
Jnless th government decides to
weaken the garrisons of Lisbon and
Oporto, which would be a dangerous
measure to take in !ew of the possi
militv of revolutionary outbreaks in
the big cities, it seems likely the roy
alist warfare in the northern prov
inces is likely to continue for some
time.
The bituation may be coni.mred to
that which existed on .ne Mexican
American border at the opening cf the
revolution. The roalists retreat to
foreign soil in Spain when they are
hard pushed. As the frontier is moun
tainous. It offers many safe retreats to
the royalists whose roving bands are
thus able to hold in check the superior
forces of the government.
According to last accounts, Capt.
Henrique de Palro Couceiro, the royal
ist leader has now retired to Spanish
territory.
Have General Ininslon Plan.
The general plan drawn up by the
royalists for the Invasion of Portugal,
was as follows:
A column of 200 men headed by Lieut.
Sepulveda was to enter the country
across the river Minho; Capt. Couceiro,
with another 900 men, was to cross the
frontier and enter the province of
Trash-Os-Montes, which Capt. Aceve o
with 200 men was to reach from Beira
and Camacho with 250 men from Ab
motejo. Every column succeeded in
entering the province, and with some
losses Capts. Couceiro and Camacho ef
fected a junction and fought a battle
at Chaves.
Patriots . CrKanUe.
The society of patriots organized a
big parade here last evening Large
crowds gathered on the sidewalks and
aptlauded tfoepperaders who stoppiKrand
cheered in front of the XJelglan lega
tion as a mark of approval of the seiz
ure of the steamer Vos at Zeebrugg,
June 14.
The Teasel was taking on board arms
and ammunition which the Belgian au
thorities thought were intended for
the Portuguese royalists.
It is understood 100 men of the Por
tuguese crew of this vessel secretly
entered Portugal recently and immedi
ately disappeared in the mountains
w here they are commanded by the rebel
leaders Acevedo and Lobo.
The Casualties.
Madrid, Spain. July 10. Advices from
the Portugese frontier say the Portu
gese royalists lost 50 killed and 200
wounded in the battle at Chaves. Re
publican losses are not given. One of
the Portugese officers who urged the
soldiers to turn against the repub
lican was shot by his men.

Aguirre. who has oeen in charge of
the jury in the Darrow case since the

that position today, following tho cir

was too friendly to an attorney for
the defence, brought about a series
of conferences which delayed the be

hour.
Judge Hutton declined to discuss the
matter other than to say that no di

made.
Aguirie was greatly agitated over
the attitude of the prosecution and
promised to bring up the matter and
demand vindication in open court.
Aguirre, who has been a peace of

plained that detectives, apparently
employed by the prosecution, were
spying on the jury at night.

PETITION SCHEME
A FLASH IN PAN
Washington, D. C, July 10. C D.
Hilles issued a statement last night
declaring his confidence in the Repub
lican party, its cause and Its candi
dates. It follows In part:
The Republican party approaches
the presidential campaign with confi
dence In the solemnity of its cause and
in the Integrity and ability of the can
didates who represent (tnat cause.
Progress, with order, is as good doc
trine for the Republican party today,
as it has been since the day of its
birth.
"Real progress Is not a theory but
an achievement. More ha3 Deen accom
plished In the last three years under
ibe administration of president Taft
than was ever before accomplished by
an American president in the same
i time. '
' "A distinct line of demarcation be-
tween the Republican party and the
Democratic .party is revealed in the
platforms adopted at Chicago and Bal
timore.
"Upon the solid rock of the rights
of the individual, as granted by the
constitution, the Republican party
builds Its structure of optimism. The
Deniocratic party, on the other hand.
in the opening sentence of its address
tj the electorate, betrays its recessional
quality by denying the right of con
gress, a right again and again con
firmed by the supreme court, to estab
lish protective duties for the benefit of
American industries.
"Such liberties are now assailed by
those who advocate the overthrew of
the independence of the judiciary. It
would leave the individual defenceless
in the protection of those rights de
clared inalienable under the constitu
tion." The subcommittee of the national
committee today, followed the selection
of Mr. Hilles as chairman, with the se
lection of James B. Reynolds, Massa
chusetts, as secretary, and then ad-
Kjoumed to meet -again in New 1'ork.

committee of five and an executive

After the meeting Mr. Gompers said
"We discussed with the governor the
platform adopted by the Baltimore
convention and expressed ourselves as
being in entire accord with the planks
which apply to legislation affecting
the rights of the working people.
"I think the platform goes as far as
a great political party can declare un

conditions that is, with any degree of
assurance of being enacted into law." "
Mr. Gompers said that he and his
colleagues were acting as "envoys of
the American laboring men." When

would support the Democratic ticket.
he said, "we are going to report to
our colleagues and they will make a
