THE RELEASE OF TWO
AMERICANS DEMANDED
Juarez, Mex., Dec. 4 While looting
by isolated bands or confiscation of
property by the rebels may continue
the days of fighting in northern Mex
ico are numbered, so far as the pres
ent revolution is concerned, according
to opinions expressed by rebel leaders
today.
General Francisco Villa's assertion
that there is not much more to fight
for in the north because of the bank
rupt condition of the federal army,
which caused them to evacuate so
important a city as Chihuahua, has
spread among the rebels. What most
immediately concerns the constitu
tionalist party now is the elaboration
of its civil government. This em
braces a more systematized customs
to be enforced along the border. The
rebels hold all the important border
towns except Nuevo Laredo and Pie
dras Negras, opposite Texas. There
remains also to be put iu force a
uniform currency system, for new
rebel and federal currency are in con
flict, one kind being acceptable in
one place and another kind in anoth
er. Rebel postage stamps already are
in use. Many governors and state
officials are to be selected.
For all practical purposes within a
short time, the leaders say, a govern
ment will be In operation in the north
ern half of the country which will be
entirely detached and independent of
that at Mexico City.
The settlement of the civil ques
tions is one reason why Villa has ask
ed General Carranza to meet him at
Chihuahua. Sylvester Terrazas, a
newspaper editor in Chihuahua, who
Is not related to the wealthy Terrazas
family has been selected for governor
of the state.
Villa expects to leaveto Carranza
the task of establishing livil govern
ment, devoting himself to the military
campaign southward towards Mexico
City.
U. 8. Troops Ready.
Marfa, Tex., Dec. 4. Immigration
and cavalry troops went to Presidio,
opposite Ojinaga, Mexico, today, on
information that refugees from Chi
huahua would cross the border there.
Among the refugees are Gen. Mer
eado, Huerta's commander in north
ern Mexico, and his officers. It is not
known whether the Mexican officers
will seek safety in the United States
or whether they will stand at Ojinaga
against any attempt of the rebels to
capture them. Ojinaga is reached
over a fifty mile wagon road from
Marfa.
Release Demanded.
Washington, D. C, Dec. 4. Immedi
ate release of W. S. Windham, an
American, and a companion of the
name of Dunn, held for ransom near
Mazatlau has been ordered by Govern
or Felipe Riveros, commander in chief
of the constitutionalist forces in Sina
loa, according to today's dispatches to
the state department. Windham for
merly was cashier of a bank in Pasa
dena, Calif., and is now superintend
ent of a ranch.
Today's dispatches, which confirm
the capture of Victoria by the rebels,
say both Monterey and Tampico are
threatened. Nearly all the Americans
many foreigners and hundreds of
Mexicans have fled from Monterey to
Texas. The strike situation at Tam
pico is still unsettled. Today's ad
vices say representatives of the oil
company have gone to Mexico city to
adjust differences. Durango is re
ported comparatively quiet.
Report is Unofficial.
The Hague, Dec. 4. Neither official
nor diplomatic circles in the Nether-
lands know anything about the report
that Queen Wilhelmina has been ap
pointed by the powers an intermediary
for the pacification of Mexico..

Barbosa, a federal officer who' was left

rebels at Torreon, arrived in the capi
tal today. He relates that he was
captured by General Francisco Villa
when the federal troops commanded j
by General Felipe Alvircz were wiped J
out just before the evacaution of Tor-
-reon. 1913
Colonel Barbosa is the only one tu
escape death of the 19 officers cap-
- tured by General Villa on that occas
ion. He says that he, with all the rest,
.were shot down. Later, however, he
recovered consciousness and while his
executioners were feasting, he crawled
away from the spot and managed to
get to a ranch" where he was given
help. Some time later he got away
and reached a mining camp where a
doctor dressed his wounds. When he
was able to walk he made his way to
Zacatecas and Mexico City.

Plymouth, Eng., Dec. 4 Wind and
sea today helped the police to evade
the posse of suffragettes who had
planned to prevent the rearrest of
Mrs. Emmeline Pankliurst under the
provision of the "cat and mouse" act.
A heavy sen was running in the
harbor when the steamship Majestic
anchored shortly after noon. , The
waves, while they did not affect, the
powerful police tug, were too much for
the little motor boat, which the mili
tant suffragettes had engaged to head
off the police. The occupants, who
included "general" Mis. Flora Drum
mond, and otlter leaders, were drench-
ierl to the skin before they reached the
liner.
The Majestic, under police orders,
had anchored outside the breakwater.
The Bea delayed the little suffragette
warship so much that it did not arrive
at the side of the bis liner until the
police were leading Mrs. Pankliurst

'shouted to her through their mega-

mm URGE THE
HOUSE AGAINST
UOTES FOR WOMEN
Washington, D. C, Dec. 4. Oppon
jents of woman suffrage appean-d be
fore the house rules committee today
to argue why a committee on woman
suffrage should not be creaied by the
house. The delegation was headed by
Mrs. A. M. Dodge, of New York, who
yesterday was reelected president of
the national association opposed to
women suffrage. Speakers lor Ihe op
ponents declared working women
were opposed to the franchise because
they would lose more than they would
gain. This was in answer to the state
ment of the suffragists that the work-1
ins women needed the franchise and ,
was strongly in favor of it. ,
Mrs. Arthur Dodge, the leader of !
the anti-suffrage movement, had !
charge of presenting arguments, She j
said (lie speakers represented "more
than ninety thousand American worn-
en, all over voting age." This Mrs. i
Dodge said, was all the more remark- j
able, because we women are of a class
not eager to organize "
Miss Alice Hill Chittenden of New
York, declared the equal suffrage
question was not a federal one; that
it should be left to the stutes. Miss
Chittenden said that there were more
than two and a half million women of
voting age in New York, the majority
of them foreign born and that the. anti-suffrage
women believed it had hot
been left to the other states of the.
union to say whether they had been
added to the New York electorate.
"Women," said she, "has attained
what she today without the vote. The
women who oppose equal suffrage are
not. drones, nor parasites, sitting home
with our knitting, but real conserva
tionists of women's position iu the
community, as a non-partisan citizen."
To give woman the ballot, she be
lieved, would "make her a mere spoke
