Juarez Merchant Denies;

(Continued from prevloas page.)
the blame of having- mixed themselves
In the Mexican politics, giving an un
derstanding that all the Spaniards that
have been damaged by the revolution
have participated In it, is entirely false
and invented by the excited passion of
I energetically protest against ,all
news 'which 1b and might be spread,
that I have given support to Mr. Huer
ta's government, as, knowing my rights
and duties of a foreigner, I have al
ways been neutral.
Men under Mr. Villa or Villa himself
have taken from me in Ciudad Juarez
or Chihuahua 93,000 pesos, and only by
reimbursing me this amount to pay my
debts, could he justify his proceedings.
I again state that I have never been
mixed in politics and on the same con
ditions, many others can be found. 1
also will explain that I am not looking
for intervention, owing to the outrages
committed on us, as I have lived in
Mexico for the last twenty-five years
and it has my respects.
If any Spaniards or from another
country have mixed themselves in the
present revolution. ,1 am sure they make
an extreme minority, and it Is a shame
against people's right that of expell
ing and depriving us of our own in
terests. - Iomingo Trueba.
TWO KCHDERED SPAJflARDS
fVEEB CLVBBBD TO DEATH.
Refugees who arrived en the Tuesday
morning train from Chihuahua say
that the two Spaniards, Jose and Au
gustin Gonzales, who were found dead
in the dry bed of s stream. In Santa
Rosa, a suburb of Chihuahua, were
clubbed to death. They disappeared at
the time the order was given by Villa
for the Spanish residents to leave the
State, The bodies were found: later
with the heads of" the two men -"badly
beaten and their clothing torn. The
rebels claim that jobbers were respon
sible for the crime.
Husband and Wife Both
Saved From Suffering
I wish to tell you the good results
myself and husband received from Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root. About eleven
years ago I had a severe attack of La
Grippe and "was confined to my bed
about eight weeks under the doctor's
care. He pronounced my case kidney
trouble and vtaeumatism and not re
ceiving the results from tie-doctor's
treatment I should have received, I de
cided, to try Swamp-Root. -After taking
several bottles of Swamp-Root I was
able to get up and attend to my work.
iAbont a sear later my husband was af
fected with a severe attack of kidney
trouble and doctored for some time
with, the doctors and received no ben
efit. Knowing of the good I had re
ceived, he decided to try Swamp-Root
His condition -was such that he was
confined to bis bed and words cannot
tell how he suffered, hat after taking
Swsmp-Root he was relieved so he
couM go on with his work without
pain. I wish to heartily recommend
Swamp-Boot to all persons afflicted
with, kidney and bladder troubles and
you aay publish this letter if you
wish.
Tours truly,

CARDINAL RAMPOLLA,
NOTED PRELATE, DIES
Papal Secretary of State Under Pope
Leo, Once Considered for Papacy,
Passes Array at Home.
Rome, Italy, Dec. 17. Cardinal Ram
polla, former papa secretary of state,
died last night.
He was not known to have been 111,
but had several times suffered from
serious attacks of influenza, similar to
that which has afflicted the pope.
It was cardinal Rampolla who cele
brated the Te Derai at Rome on May
11 in thanksgivingrior the recovery of
tne pope.
Cardinal Rampolla, Marquis Deltin
daro, was appointed secretary of state
by pope Heo XIII, and' at the conclave
for the election of a successor to pope
j SPANIARDS' GOODS
HELD BY BENAVIDES
CARDINAL RAaiPOLLA
Leo, was a dominant figure until Aus
tria exercised an old prerogative, the
right to enter an objection to the elec
tion of a given candidate for the pa
pacy. Cardinal Rampolla led on the
first and second votes.
Of late cardinal Rampolla had been
mentioned as a possible successor to
pope Pius X. He was born at Polizzi,
Sicily, in 1843, and was proclaimed car
dinal in 18S7. He was arch-priest at
St. Peter's and secretary of the con
gregation of the Univerasl Inquisition.
Since the conclave cardinal Rampolla
has lived in retirement in the palace
of St Martha, just behind St. Peter's,
and had devoted his time to the de
partments dealing with matters of doc
trine, dogma and internal administra
tion of the church, holding aloof from
affairs pertaining to the foreign rela
tions of the holy see.
Removal of Minor Juarez Official Is
'Said to Ilavc Followed Attempt
to Smuggle Property.
Additional details of the attempted
smuggling of four van loads of seized
Spanish merchandise from Juarez have
been learned by secret servioe opera
tives on the American side. The mer
chandise was a part of that which was
taken from the Trueba and other
stores in Juarer, which were owned
by Spaniards. "When the stocks were
confiscated, it was reported that HI
Paso men had bought large quanti.
ties of the merchandise and would at
tempt to move them from Juarez to HI
Paso. To prevent this, attorneys for
the Spanish mercnants prepared to
claim the goods when they arrived .at
the custom house here. This pre
vented the purchasers from bringing
the goods into this country.
The merchandise was then stored In
Juarez and left there until Monday,
when four wagon loads of the goods
were taken from the warehouse and
hauled to Guadalupe, below Juarez, the
reported intention being to smuggle
them across to -the American side. The
rebel commanders In Juarez were not
in on the scheme and the rebel river
scouts arrested the eight wagon driv
ers and escorts and took them back to
Juarez under guard, seizing the four
wagons with their loads. Later Primo
Salcido, the chief of police of Juarez,
was removed from office, Juarez resi
dents say, and arrested by order of
Gen. Bugenio Benavides. The goods
are being held by the commander un
til instructions are received from Villa
as to their disposition.

Movement of 10,000,000 Feet of Lum
ber, Year's Supply, Will Start
When Railroad In Repaired.
Railroad communication between
Juarez and Chihuahua over the Mexico
North Western will be resumed before
January 1 if Castillo's men do not dis
turb the construction crews now re
pairing the line.
As soon as the work is finished, the
movement of 16,000,000 feet of Madera
lumber will be commenced. This will
supply the El Paso mills for the entire
j ear of 1914, officials say.
There is a construction crew at Sab
inal, 155 kilometers south of Juarez,
another at Santa Sofia at kilometer 174,
and another at kilometer 115. These
are the only places where the track Is
damaged. With the completion of re
pairs trains will run to Madera and
Pearson. A repair crew is also at work
at Rincon, 471 kilometers below Juarez,
on the Chihuahua division.
Castillo himself has not been on the
North Western line, but a few of his
men appeared near Pearson.
5EXT DOLLAR. DIXXEIt ,

The next dollar dinner of the cham
ber of commerce will be held Dec. 22.
The dinner was originally planned for

VILLA TO GO SOUTH
WITH 15,000 MEN
Herrera's Force Will Be the Vanguard;
Rebels Have 5000 Xenr Monterey
to Join Movement.
Villa is making preparations for his
advance south toward Torreon, re
gardless of the presence of the federals
at Ojinaga, according to Torreon refu
gees, who arrived here on a special
train Wednesday morning. The move
ment of Maclovlo Herrera, with his
command, was to ParraL where Her
rera will recruit his force, visit his
family and make all the arrangements
for departure to the south as the van
guard of Villa's main army, the Tor
reon refugees say.
When the Torreon mining and smel
ter men left that town, it was being
held by the rebels, but Valasco and
Argumedo with 6000 federals were en
camped at San Pedro, 60 miles north
east of Torreon. This was on Dec 5,
and, since they left Torreon, it was re
ported that the federals had occupied
Torreon on Dec 10. Trains are run
ning between Chihuahua and Berme
jillo every second day.
The refugees left Torreon on Dec 5
on board a special train which arrived
in Chihuahua on the 9 th. They left
Chihuahua on another special Tuesday
at noon and arrived at the border at
4 ocloek Wednesday morning.
One of the party saw a review of
troops at Chihuahua Sunday and say
that Villa had 4500 men in the review.
Pablo Gonzales, the rebel leader who
captured Tampico and Victoria, is re
ported near Monterey with 5000 men,
preparing to join Villa when he starts
south. The Torreon refugees say that
villa will have a lorce or 15,000 men
when he moves south, unless he leaves
a part of his command at Ojinaga to
prevent the federals from retaking
Juarez and Chihuahua.
The refugees declare that a lake was
discovered on the Orient line west of
Chihuahua which had been filled with
ammunition and machine guns by the
federals on the march to Ojinaga. The
rebels have taken 125.0W rounds of
seven milhueter Mauser cartridges
from this lake, two machine guns be
longing to the federals and an auto
mobile which had been run into the
lake when it could not be operated.
The members of the Torreon party
were L. de la Garza, a mining man of
Torreon; F. F. Vlllareal, manager of
the Torreon smelter; Alfredo S. Farias,
a real estate dealer; B. Ramos Bar
rera, an official of the smelter; Vivto
riano G. Navarro, Raoul Gamez, Man
uel Amaya and Bmelio Mores. The two
latter came to Chihuahua from Tor
reon on a secret mission for the "Con
stitutionalist" government
THROS'C SEEKS TO REDEEM
BASK BILLS IX MEXICO CITY
Mexico City, Dec 17. Thousands of
persons formed lines yesterday at the
doors of the Banco Central. It was
the only bank in the city that had not
refused to redeem state baiik notes.
Practically every bill in the city issued
by an outside bank was brought to the
Central bank for redemption. Paper of
six outside banks has been refused on
account of lack of funds in the Central.
It is assumed that the paper of others
will be refused when their deposits
have been exhausted.
Business men fear the refusal to re
deem the notes will eauee a run e the
state banks. It is known, however,
that perhaps a majority of these are
wholly solvent and that ultimately
when the notes now out of their ter
ritory are returned to them, they will
be paid to their face value.
It is reported that president Huerta.
by official decree, will force acceptance
of the bank notes, perhaps making
thorn lac-al tender throughout the re
public, aa he has already done In the.
states w-hea they were issued.

DUAL SYSTEM OF
ESPIONAGE STARTS
A dual system of espionage has been
established in Bl Paso by the rebels
and federals in Mexico. The federal
and rebel spies are watching each oth
er and the leaders of the opposing fac
tions elosely, and are reporting to their
chiefs here. When a new leader comes
to the eity he is foUowed by the spies
detailed by the opposing bureau and
his movements are carefully reported
while he is in the city. The federal
spy system is made up of a large num
ber of the former federal officials and
officers in Juarez who are being paid
by the Mexican government while they
ar-e refagees here.
