Well, some of the letters which I

south of Cuernavaca. This is the
fourth day of the battle there The
Federals under General Castro have
thus lar held their own, hut have
been unable to gain any decided ad
vantage. A large rebel force led by
the bandit Neri Is marching from
Puebla to aid Zapata, and if he ar
rives in time the Government army
wilt undoubtedly have to retire.
The action of Congress in declaring
the election of Huerta Illegal is ex
pected to make no change in Ihe sit
uation here, as he wan directed to
hold office until after n«;\l year's
election In July, but Intense interest
was displayed to-day hv foreigners,
who anxiously inquired what action
the United States would take in view’

Gen. Villa Wires
Loyalty to Carranza.
If KRMOSILLO. MEXICO. Dec. 10.
General Carranza to-day received
a dispatch from General Bcnevldes, j
ihe rebel commander at Juarez, de-
■ iaring that General Villa recognized
the Provisional President of the
‘ 'onstitutionallsts ns supreme In alt
matters relating to the revolution.
This message, coming after Carranza
had refused to send r< inforcemmts
to Villa, was received with reserva
tions by the Constitutionalist leader
It was marked that Villa hlmaelf
sent no message pledging his loyalty,
although Bcnevldes declared he had
been delegated by his superior to send
the dispatch.
This is the first time that either
Villa or any of his agents have rec
ognized Carranza’s claims to be *h«
actual leader of the northern revolt
sin« .* the capture of Juarez
Mexican Gunboat Holds Up
Mobile Fishing Boat.
MOBILE, ALA.. Mr. 10 --That the
Mexican Government is on the look
out for a filibustering expedition out
of Mobile and is keeping a sharp
watch on every vessel leaving any
point on the Mississippi coast is the
belief strengthened by a report from
Pensacola of a Mexican gunboat .stop
ping a fishing vessel off the Mobile
Bar near Cat Island and searching
her. Cat Island Is an ideal place for
a gunboat to remain concealed and at
the same time keep a close look-out
on all vessels leaving.
The revenue cutter Winona left
here hurriedly Inst night. Mexican
secret service men here are watching
all suspicious Mexicans.
Federals Fortify For
Battle on Border.
PRESIDIO, TEXAS (By U. S. Army
telephone to Marfa). Dec 10 General
Snlvadore Mercado’s exhausted Fed
eral soldiers who fled northward when
the Constitutionalist army under Gen
eral Villa, moved on Chihuahua City,
were to-day set to work constructing
fortifloatIons south of Ojlnags.
These preparations for defense wen
dispatched from Chihuahua City with
1.500 Constitutionalists to give battle
to the Federal* at Ojln&ga
General Villa fears a surprise at-
taxk on Juarez unless the Federal
Army at OJlnaga is either captured or
annihilated.

Miss Mary Dea liavlt-
The most useful present for a
wife would be n nice range stove

Of course, people in different

gifts. If I win the Slo gold piece
