PAPER MONEY POPULAR
Displacing >Hiit Coin, so Long Pre?
ferred In tile South.
Washington. July 7.?P.ipor money
rapidly is becoming the medium of cir
? dilation in the south, displacing sliver
com. which for years was preferred in
j that section. Treasury officials say
i there is an enormous increase in ship?
ments of notes and a remarkable de?
crease in the movement of gold ami sil?
ver coins to the Southern States.
This change has taken place in the
past few months. It began, oillclals
assert, when the government ceased
paying for the transportation of coin
to banks. Banks now apply for cur?
rency which is less expensive to trans?
port. By compelling bank;! to pay the
expressnge on money, the treasury ex-'
pects to save about $300,000 annually.

General Te-Uz and General Ha bo go, In
command of twp: brigades of cavalry,
entered the city a short time before,'
but were Immediately dispatched north- ;
west toward Cnsas Grandes t? head otf
the tleelng rebel army.
To the number of foreign Hags raised
many days ago by foreign residents,
who feared that .1 season of looting
would follow the rebel retreat and evac- (
nation, wire added hundreds of Mex?
ican banners, giving the city a holiday
Reduces High .Tension.
The entry of Huerta s army reduced
the high nervous tension under which
foreign residents hail lived ever since
rebel reverses In this scetlon began.
The same people who until a week ago
were loti'J in their protestations of
friendship for General Orozco and his
ragged and undisciplined army stood
in the streets, applauding ihe victori?
ous General Huerta and his columns of
r, gulars with shouts of "Viva Maderol"
The comllig of Huerta means the res?
toration of railroad communication
with Tprreon. though it simultaneously
cuts off the city on the north from dua- ,
res and the American border. This
city has been mulcted of supplies, tfnd
business had long been at a standstill
Many mines now win be reopened.
General Huerta has spent two months
in rebuilding 10.". miles of railroad de?
stroyed by the rebels as they retreated
from Torreoti.
Xen Complication* Vrlse.
Washington. July 7.?.lust at the
time when the oltlclals of the State
and War Departments had been
brought tr> the hope that the Mex'
can revolution was near an end, now
and graver complications in the Mexl
can situation are beginning to loom
up.
Gmlnous reports are beginning to
reach Washington that Japan may
take a hand '11 the situation, and that
the Mexican rebels, under Ganeral
urozco are expecting aid from the
Japanese.
Surely In Need ol \rmn.
Such aid. if it comes, will nnt be
given in direct fashion. It will come
in the form of arms ami ammunlt'on,
so sadly needed by the Insurgents.
1: is largely because this government
has shut off the supple of arms and
ammunition from America that Orozco
and his forces have been reduced to
th. straits in which tney note find
themselves. ?
Hope of Revolutionists.
The hope of the revolutionists, as
it is conveyed in dispatches. Is to
hurry Into th.- province of Sonora,
? a| fire a seaport .and open the way
to the shipment of arms and ammu?
nition from Japanese source.*-.
The plans of Oi ozro's forces s i.e.:
their defeat last Thursday near Ch'
huahua have been variously described.
It appears that only part of the fores
has been sent to Jwirez. A large
share of the main bedy of Orozco in
the flgb.ti.ng near Chihuahua Is headed
westward, with a seaport on the Pa?
cific coast as Its destination.' The.
plans seems to be to attempt a Junc?
tion with General ArgumedU and his
rtbel army in Durango.
Should this plan be made effective
Und rifles, cannon and ammunition
begin to come in from Japanese or any
other sources, it would open up the
possibilities of all manner of trou?
ble. Thus It appears that just at the
time when the rebels seemed crushed,
they are planning new schemes which
may compel this country even yet to
tike a hand in the Mexican situation.
li would seem almost incredible that
th*- Japenese government could be
Thinking of giving ?my nid to the
Orozco forces at this critical time.
However, it Is asserted in dispatches
that the rebels believe. If they can
1.pen up a seaport, a supply of arms
arid ammunition will ho at once ship?
ped in from a Japanese port.
The rebel plan as now described
recalls the fact that In the recent
drscussion In the Senate over the
Magdalena Bay affair It was brought
out that Cleneral Orozco was sustain?
ing mysterious relutlons with Japan.
It was charged that Orozco was will?
ing to gl* e Japan important conces?
sions In return for help.
Import 11 nt Concession's,
Note It is intimated that If the rev?
olutionists can possess themselves of
one or more stratog.e points on tho
western coast, with tho help of Ja?
pan, the Japanese will bo well re?
paid. This can mean only that tho

The otllclal view in Washington of
the reported Intention of the rebels
to make their last stand on the paoUte
coast of Mexico is that the Madero
government will be able to cope with
the situation. General Huerta has
shown such military capacity thus far
that considerable confidence is felt
here that be will not permit any con?
siderable body of the rebels to escape,
from him across th.* mountains u.it
of chihuahua.
It Is perfectly plain that if such an
escape is effected, even if Japan or
Japanese individuals give the rebels
