More Sugar Frauds to Be Investigated Alleged Abuie of "Drawback" Priy ilegei Under Investigation Seek to Eecover Large Amount. WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.-Customs ex perts from the Treasury department and special agents of the Department of Jus tice are making an investigation which promises to add another chapter to tfi story of th sugar frauds. An alleged abuse of th "drawback" priv ilege, principally at Now York. Is under Investigation and one official says, tho revelations promise to put 'the government in position to recover "nearly as much aa in tho underweight cases, when more than t.1,000.000 was paid to the treasury. When sugar Is Imported It pays duty, unless coming from the Philippines, Md when it is manufactured into a product and in that form exported, th duty Is re funded in the form of a "drawback" ex cent 1 per cent, which Is retained to defray the coat-of tariff admiatstration. . .. Under this arrangement sugar is ' Im ported raw. exported as syrup and many other byproducts of sugar. On each of these the treasury makes "drawback" re funds. About $7,000,000 Is paid In that way each year and half that amount Is drawn back on exports of sugar and tin. Officials say that frauds In sugar extending over keverai years could easily run Into a large amount of money. MEXICAN TROOPS DEFEATED Cutting Up of Troop Train at Malpaso Intensifies Situation. REBEL FORCES GROW RAPIDLY Report that liesrrsl arr la r reandetl ear Pedernalea ss4 la horl of fond and Am. munition. CHIHUAHUA. Mex.. 1-ec. 91 (Via El Paso. Dec. 21). Amplified advices change but little today's telegraphic report of the rutting up of the government troop train port or twenty-one rpfieral killed, ten miss ing and forty-two wounded stands with the addition that thirty who were slightly wounded, bringing tho total Injured to seventy-two. also came on the train. The Injuries of these thirty are n,ot serious and It Is not customary to carry them In the hospital list. Most of them are on their' feet. Rumors have been abroad today that the federals lost 100 killed, but this seems to be without foundation and probably referred to the total number of killed, wounded and Injured, which makes about lot). Verlsmlll tude Is added to the government report of losses by the fact that the hospital train brought in eighty Mauser rifles, or about the number which their killed and wounded wottid have dropped. Also 100 killed to seventy-two wounded Is far from the pro- ffltA wt.(nk . 1. 1 1 1 - J . 1 -. I . . .tun .nut,,, in, niutra in uiiiiie Dear 10 the Injured.

The defeat of the troop train with Its three field pieces and 550 men, Intensifies the tension here. On top of the drawn bat tle of Cerro Prleto ten days ago It Is taken as confirmation of declarations that Presi dent Dlax . for the first time In his long tenure of office confronts a real revolu tion. The most ardent sympathizers with the revolt, and they Include most of the unofficial population, scarcely hoped the insurgents would be, able to make more than one stand against the disciplined sol diers of the government. The government stated that the revolt conMisUd of but little else save a nucleus of bandits augmented by misguided peons who could not handle a rifle and whom it would be but police work to subdue.

That sum marises In effect the result of Important military happenings In the state of Chi huahua. Conservative Americans who have held all along that the aovernment hart Job on Its hands but would triumph eventu ally by force of numbers and resources, were talking in a different strain tonight. The discussion runs mostly to hnw lonir General Navarro with the main force oi rebels, can hold out. Rennrtu th he ha been killed remafh without confirmation. his rorce, however, it is reported. Is sur rounded In the vicinity of Pedernales. Inaarrectos Force Growing;. Navarro had been ordered to hold Mal paso to form a Junctura with tho of the troop train. He made a desperate effort to do so, but failed. Ills failure In this regard is attributed to the remarkable augmentation of th vn. tutloilary numbers. It has been reported by insurgent leaders that 1,000 men were neja tp reserve, having been ordered; to remain at work In the mines until called for. ' This call went forth over a week ago. Whereas, the number at that time was not over 1,000, the official reports now put them at 2.000. Navarro, on the other hand, has not grown stronger. Food has grown scarce with him. Small engagements have depleted his ammunition supply. He has been compelled to move his force to meet the enemy at Pedernales, as well as Mal paso, and to use some of his men for scounting and maintaining his line of com munications. The troop train, which was shot up, carried a large amount of ammu nition, and this was brought back to But tlllos. Those of the troopB who were not killed or wounded, retreated to Bustlllos, which Is between this citv and the imtn of the engagement. They wished to return nere. Dut it was pointed out that-such ac tion probably would result In court-martial, and they concluded to take a chance of Joining Navarro by some overland route, huptng to elude the insurrectos.
