reported hero tonight that Col.
Rafael Garcia Martinez has been ap-
pointed Jefe Politico at Ciudad Juar-
ez, vice Francisco Portillo, who will
be assigned to another important
point, probably Guerrero. Col. Mar-
tinez was jefe politico at Juarez about

They stopped at Galiego to water
their animals and are believed to be
traveling northwest.
a There is no news of any kind from
the west today. Nothing can be
be heard from General Navarro nor
of the passenger train lost on tho
Chihuahua division of the Mexico-
Northwestern railway last Monday.
No news of any kind has reached hero
Tri
dred and one hundred and fifty sol-
diers, but it is feared they will ar-
rive here too tate, or perhaps be at-
tacked on their way here.
The telegraph operators all along
the line have orders to stay up all
j night to send government dispatches
and report any developments along
the line of this division. The situa-
tion seems to be becoming critical.

Marfa, Texas. Jan. 20—A message

A force of about 200 federals were
surrounded at Peguis on the 15th and
have never been relieved by Luque.
A call for reinforcements reached
Ojinaga on tho 16th when a large
body of troops were sent to their as-
sistance. A second call for aid was
received the foijowing day, which re-
sulted in Luque leading a relieving
column in' person. He is said to have
left only about 200 soldiers in Ojin-
aga as a guard, taking with him near-
ly all of the Infantry and cavalry.
The entire command is reported as
having been ambushed at Galindos
Vinata, which is a very steep canyon.
The insurrectos are said to have al-
lowed the federals to enter the defile
and to have Immediately placed
forces at both entrances which are
successfully preventing either a re-
treat from one end or an exit from
theother.
A messenger who arrived from the
vicinity today stated that at the time
he left there was much heavy firing

INSURRECTO PRISONERS
CAPTURED BY RUSE
That the number of insurrecto pris-
oners now hold at Casas Grandes con-
sists of eight men instead of twenty-
one as given out by government re-
ports, was told yesterday afternoon
by a man wlsu was present at the time
the Insurrectos were captureij. The
men, consisting of one officer and
seven of his followers, are now In the
city jail at Casas Grandes, where they
have been held during the past throe
weeks by the federals who have an-
nounced their Intention of sending
them to Juarez for trial.
According to the story the '-men
were captured by a clever ruse at San
Diego ranch, ten miles north of Casas
Grandes. The men were not taken in
battle as reported.
About 40 insurrectos put in their ap-
pearance at the ranch some three
weeks ago under the leadership of a
chief whose name cannot be ascer-
tained. As the ranch houses are built
around a common court and the in-
surrectos were not aware of the pres-
ence of a company of federal soldiers
hidden within the court yard, the
leader and seven men walked into the
court not suspecting the presence of
tho enemy. When they had entered
the enclosure they were made prison-
ers before they knew that the sol-
diers were on the property.
One man is said to have jumped In-
to a pit with his rifle and to have stood
off the federals for almost three hours.
The men were at all times within
speaking distance of the soldiers,
whom he warned that he would shoot
in the event that they undertook to
take him. He was finally guaranteed
protection by one of the officers if
he would surrender. Seeing that it
was impossible for him to make his
escape he threw his rifle from tho
pit and surrendered.
The men were Immediately taken to
Casas Grandes, where arrangements
were made to have them transferred
to Juarez to be tried for treason. As
soon as the Insurrectos heard of the
plight of their comrades they sent
word to the federals that any attempt
on their part to either execute or to — . -----
move the prisoners would in retails- river at New Braunfels.

KLECTIOV OF HE NATO HK

Associated Fres* Dispatch.
Washington. Jan. 20—For the first
time since the report of the resolu-
tion looking to the election of lljfrtcd
Htrites senators by direct vote of the
people, that resolution tndav became
the subject of general debate in I ho
senate.
Senator Ttnyner was the chief
speaker, hut the disc fission wuh par-
ticipated In by Senators Bacon. Bo-
rah, Sutherland and others. Jt grew
out of the Maryland senator’s, assault
upon the Sutherland amendment giv-
ing congress such power to control
the time and manner of holding sen-
atorial election as Is now possessed
by it In the election of members of
the house of representatives.
The amendment is giving tho friends
of the resolution concern. It appeals
to many of the I to publican senators,
but not to the Democrats. The ap-
prehension Is that It may be voted in-
to the resolution and in that event
it is probable that the provision as a
whole would be defeated. A ma-
jority vote would lie sufficient, to adopt
the amendment, while two-thirds
would be necessary to Insure the suc-
cess of the resolution as a whole.
Senators JUyner and Bacon charg-
ed that the .Sutherland provision
would authorize the use of federal
agents at the polls and while Mr.

fact that yesterday $250,000 was sub-
scribed to the capital stock of a big
twelve-story hotel to lie built on the
northwest corner of El Paso and West
