ALAMOGORDO. X. C June 21.
County road commissioner Geo.
M. Moffett ia spending a week's
vacation at home here after his work of
supervising the construction of a new
piece of road in the eastern portion of
Otero county. Between Weed and Avis.
He will begin on a new Clouderot
road soon. This piece comprised a
three mile stretch and not only lessens
the distance between the two places
but lowers the grade 306 feet and de-
creases the average grade about one-
half. The road as built along modern
lines and is a valuable addition to the
already constructed good roads of the
county.
In a short time Mr. Moffett will take
up the construction of a new road from
Cloudcroft to Weed. This new loute
will lessen the distance between the
places between four and five miles and
will reduce the grade 100 feet and the
maximum grade from IS to 8 feet.
These roads in the eastern part of
the county will give a splendid high-
way from this city east to the county
line and traverses a fine stretch of
mountain scenery. Mr Moffett also
states that ork will probably be taken
up this fall on the construction of the
new road running from Moutaln Park
to the summit of Cloudcroft. This road
will probably go up the mountain on a
gradual grade and south of the canyon
up which the present road rune.

ably to such a provision but other
framers of the bill are reported to
have taken the position that a sep-
arate measure incorporating that fea-
ture can be introduced in December
if desired.
Favr WMae&'a Currency Plan.
President Wilson has secured from
a majority of the Democratic members
of the house banking and currency
committee expressions of harmony and
acquiesence in the administration pro-
gram of enacting a currency bill at
the present session of congress.
At a two hour conference in the
white house the congressmen were
asked their views on the administra-
tion currency bill as it is to be intro-
duced by representative Glass chair-
man of the committee. Some of them
had not yet thoroughly examined the
measure but those who expressed opin-
ions were favorably inclined toward
it.

sure. Mr. Wilson said that moreover
the members of the committee all
seemed to desire action at the present
session but hat they had asked him

The president remarked that he had so
intention of seeking hasty action.

Cancan ea Tariff.
Important reductions in the Under-
wood tariff bill rates on iron steel
and other metal products: the addi-
tion of cattle wheat pig iron angora
wool and many other articles to the
free list; and an increase in rates on
many classes of cotton goods and some
silk products were the chief features
of the revised tariff bill as It was
laid before the senate .Democrats in
caucus by chairman Simmons of the
finance committee.
President Wilson's desires as to free
sugar in 191 and free wool at once
prevailed in the redraft of the MIL In
the general level of its rates the "Sim-
mons bill" represents a heavier cut
from existing rates of the Payne-Al-drich
law than did the bill as it passed
the house.
Cedar "Wood oa Free List
Discussion began today on the chem-
ical schedule where the Underwood
rates were reduced on certain dyes
used in the manufacture of cotton and
woolen goods while other articles such
as creosote oil alasarin and cyanides
were transferred to the free list.
In the summary of the senate
changes all sawed boards of cedar
and cabinet woods appeared to have
been transferred from the house free
list to the dutiable list. The reverse
was the case the 16 percent duty of
the house bill having been stricken
off entirely by the senate committee.

TRAIN DYNAMITED
AT MAYTORENA SON.
Mere Than 1 Federal Soldiers KIHed
Wbch.KxpWhOob Oeenrs ja Frost'
of Railway Station.
Cananea. Son. Mex. June 2L Al-
though the report of a federal armored
train being dynamited at Ortiz was de-
nied. It Is now certain 'hat there was
a federal train blown up at Maytorena.
Reports from Hermosillo are to the
effect that a train armored containing
about 200 or 225 federals had left Em-
palme northbound the destination be-
ing Maytorena. 18 kilometers to the
north. The progress of the train was
greatly impeded by the numerous ob-
structions on . the track which con-
sisted of piles of ties earth embank-
ments and trees. Every few minutes
the train had to be stopped to clear
the track and then. proceed to. the next
obstruction. At every place where there
was an -obstruction a thorough exami-
nation was made for the purpose of
ascertaining whether it was mined or
not and after a dose examination the
impediment was removed. At about
noon the train entered Maytorena and
just as it arrived in front of the sta-
tion a -tremendous explosion occurred
and there was gfi immense pillar of
dirt smoke splinters of wood and Iron
thrown skyward together with bodies
of federal soldiers. The effect of the
explosion was great and the earth was
shaken for a radius of many miles.
There was a shapeless mass of wreck-
age of several cars and the locomotive
in which were found the bodies of over
100 .men. After a short time the fed-
erals made their retreat to Empalme
on foot. It is. understood that there
were a number of cannon and machine
guns mounted on the train and loco-
motive all of which were damaged to
such an extent that they were left be-
hind. The state war department reports
that it is not aware whether the ex-
plosion was caused by a shell or a
mine but judging from the havoc
caused It "is believed that the track had
een mined.
Cras tie Pledra Fight.
On June 14 federals were defeated by
state troops at Cruz de Pledra. The fed-
erals numbered 300. approximately and
were aboard an armored train south-
bound for the purpose of repairing the
railroad believing that the state troops
had all left that portion of the state.
However as soon as the train hove into
sight at the-little station the state sol-
diers opened fire upon the train. The
federals replied with machine gun fire
with now and then a cannon but this
was unsatisfactory as no damage was
done. A detachment of cavalry was
disembarked from the train and sent
out against the state troops beins cov-
ered by the artillery. However the
rebels were stronger than the federals
believed and the cavalry -was soon sent
back towards the train leaving 19 dead
behind them .besides 14 saddled horses
30 Mauser rifles and a quantity of am-
munition. As soon as the' men got
aboard the train they headed back to
Empalme.
The state soldiers at Cruz de Pledra
numbered 100 and were commanded by
Maj. Fructuoso Mendez. while he was
assisted by a command of Yaquls num-
bering aobut 100 and in charge of Gen.
Mori. The state loss Is given at one
killed and a number wounded among
the latter being Capt Benito Matus.
who has been taken to Torin for medi-
cal attention.
Ranches Raided.
Federals In the south have raided
a number of ranches belonging to Gov.
