INSURGENTS SEEK BATTLE
Thousands of Revolutionists and

Apart—Battle Is Near
CHIHUAHUA, Mex., Dec. 10.—
federal troops and those of the insur
rectos, or "pronunelados," as they pre
fer to be designated, nre some forty
miles apart. The federal soldiers are
at Carretas, a hßmlet <>iT the railroad
in the vicinity of Santa Isabel, west
of here. The location is known from
eeveral reliable sources. Xhi y are
awaiting a considerable augmentation
of their numbers to make a surround

The revolutionists were tonight with-
Ing a few miles of Pedernallea.
The Associated Presa correspondent
left them there at noon Friday after
a three-day trip in their midst, while
they were In search of their enemy.
At that hour they had just discovered
that a report that the federals were
some ten miles distant at Cosihulra
chlc was erroneous. A movement In
that direction was countermanded.
The correspondent' counted 164 per
fectly mounted and armed men in tbe
main street of Rancho today. About
an equal number were reported scout
ing from there as a central point. De
tachments could be seen occasionally
on the horizon of the mesa. Three
hundred others were encamped about
lifteen miles to the southwest and an
equal number north at about the same
distance. All were working east, ac
cording to a prearranged plan. All are
mounted, well armed and well equipped
with ammunition.

as a fact that the insurrecto army

men.
If there were a directory of the able
bodied men along the railroad line as ,
far as La Junta it might be turned
into tin army roster without much
editing, for at tho towns along the
road there were no noncombatants to
be seen except young boys and very
old men.
The insurrectos, contrary to many
statements, are fully aware that other
parts of Mexico are not in revolt. In

INDIAN ADDRESSES Tlioors
In a speech delivered to the troops
Friday, when it was thought that the
light was only a few hours away, Jose
Rochie, a Yaqui Indian by birth and
one of the captains, speaking from
the saddle, declared that the men
must realize that they might be mere

They claim that they are not right

any one else in the presidential chair.
They assert that the death of Porrlrio

into confusion sooner or later unless
an honest ballot can lie secured. They

the regard in which he is held, how

at the conclusion of Rochle's address
to the troops.

Burial of Dead
rAssociated Press]
Kin JANEIRO, Dec. 10.—A serious
revolt occurred among the soldiers of
the mart no corps quartered in the
fortress on Cobra inland last night.
They captured their ofllccrs and sent
tin -in to the mainland.
The scout ship Rio Grando do Sul
Joined in the uprising-, but the mutin
ous soldiers were finally subdued by
their officers and a portion of the local
garrison that remained faithful.
At 6:30 a. m. the guns of the land
batteries were trained on the island,
which lies in the bay of Rio Janeiro
only a short distance from the city,
and opposite the navy arsenal. A heavy
fire was directed against the rebels and
continued without cessation for five
hours. Then a white flag appeared,
and it was thought tho rebels were
ready to surrender, but they asked
only for an armistice, probably for
the purpose of removing the dead and
injured.
Tim bombardment of the island
ceased for. an hour, being renewed at
II i.'clock. The land batturies and two
loyal warships took part, and the artll
lery duel continued with great violence
until 3:30 p. m.
The arsenal proved a good target
for the batteries, and replied with a
vigorous fire, employing considerable
shrapnel.
Several persons were killed along the
shore and in adjoining- streets.
The fire against the scout ship Rio
Grande do Sul lasted three hours, and
among the killed was one officer. Small
bands of rebels climbed into launches
and drew near the front of the Palacio
Cattete, but they were forced to retire.
UNITED STATES REMAINS
SECOND IN NAVAL POWER
WASHINGTON. Dec. 10.—The United
States closes another year in second
place among the world's naval powers.
The great navy building race between
Germany and England has not
brought the former country up to the
United States in the number of battle
ships afloat, but in ships projected and
in the total number of warships of all
kinds Germany will crowd the United
States to third place.
These facts are shown in the new
navy year bonk prepared by Pittman
Pulsifer, clerk to the senate committee
on naval affairs, and Boon to be issued
by the government printing office.
In armored cruisers, although the |
technical division made in the United
States Indicates Germany to have more
than this country, the actual strength |
of the United States exceeds that of .
its European rival.
In ships completed, building and
provided for by various countries Ger
many's number rises to 255, with a
displacement of 933,845 tons, while the
United States has 177, with a tonnage
of 575,152.
At present the floating navies of the
leading powers have dreadnaught type i
vessels as follows: England 11, dis
placement 203,100 tons; United States
4, displacement 72,000; Germany 4, dis
placement 72,000. .
The year book shows that when ves
sels now being constructed and those
for which funds have been provided
aii' completed the dreadnaught strength !
of the three countries will be: Eng
land 27, tonnage 558,900; Germany 17,
tonnage 357,000; United States 10, ton
nage 221,350.

trial of Dr. W. P. Burke, the aged
physician charged with having dyna
