pending negotiations between the Panama

cessitated his remaining In this city over

Secretary D1cklnn was emphatic In de-
clarlrwr that the Mexican situation was not
Influencing his plans in the slightest de
gree.
lie declared that there would not. In his
belief, be any movement of I'nlted States
troops across the border and that Interven
tion was not being contemplated.
Secretary Dickinson arrived at the of
fice of the Panama Railroad company this
morning, where he was engaged with the
president of that company and representa
tives of the All-Atlantic Steamship com
pany and the Pacific Mall Steamship com
pany In regard to the new agreements to
be made between the Tanama Railroad
company and those steamship companies.
T'pon being asked whether or not he was
going to Panama this afternoon, he stated
that he would postpone bis trip until the
matters above referred to could be ad
justed. "There can be no excuse for lnt-rven-tlon,"
said the secretary, "unless the
Mexican government proves negligent In
protecting the persons or the property of
foreign residents. nnd such negligence
would have to be firmly established. In
my opinion, before any such step could be
taken. There are no conditions now
Isting to give us such warrant.

"In order to ma'ntaln the neutrality
laws It has been deemed advisable to send
troops to the border, and on account of
the Immense length ol the frontier and
the fact that the Rio Grande can be
crossed at almost any po:nt, a larger num
ber of troops have been dispatched than
would otherwise prove necessary.
XKUOTI TIO.S WITH BKUELS
I.lmantour Denies Report that He Is
In torn in u nice Hon with Madero.
NKW YORK, March IS. Jose Limantour,
Mexican minister of finance, made a
positive denial today of the reports that he
had been conferring with the Maderos and
tnelr associates here with the view of
bringing about a cessation of hostilities.
Mr. Limantour was appraised of reports
tbst the United States was preparing to
send an additional 30.000 troops to the
scuihwest. The minister said:
"I have no official information that such
a decision has been reached by the I'nlted
States government. .The reports may be
true, but there have been no developments
in my country during the last few days to
warrant doubling the forces which the
United States government originally an
nounced It was Its Intention to mobilize for
military maneuvers.
"Of course, your government has the
right to send as many troops as It pleases
to that section of the United States, but I
believe not even 20.000 troops will be needed
to stop the Insurrectionists from smuggling
arms and other supplies across the Texas
border.
My attention has been called to vague
rumors that since arriving In New York I
have had conferences with the Maderos
and their associates with a view to bring
ing about a cessation of hostilities in
Mexico. There can be no negotiations with
insurrectionists or consideration of their
alleged grievances except that they first
lay down their arms. Therefore, I can only
emphatically deny that there have been
such negotiations In New York In which I
or any other representative has taken
part."

WASHINGTON. March 13.-8ecretary of

United States from an inspection of the
Panama canal will review "the maneuvers

Antonio.
After Secretary Dickinson baa completed
his inspection Major General Leonard
Wood, chief of staff, will go to San An
tonio. General Wood denied today that the War
department had ordered or was contemplat
ing ordering more troops to the south.
It Is the Intention of the War department,
It developed today, to change from time to
time the general officers now in command
of the troops In order that the whole staff
of officers ol the army may be given an
opportunity to assume field command of
large bodies of soldiers.
The officers of the organized militia will
be attached to the officers of the regular
army of euual grade for the purposes of
Inst ruction.
"The maneuvers division." It Is said at
tha War department, will be maintained In
the south until well Into tha summer.
DIAZ TELLS OF GOOD HEALTH
President Says Last Sickness Dates

MEXICO CITY. March 12. -General Dlat,
without doubt the busiest man In Mexico,
took time from his duties today to reply
to several specific questions touching upon
the revolutionary situation. He had Just
concluded a conference with his minister of
war. A dosen persons were still waiting
to consult him on one matter or another,
and many would come before the day's
work was over.
General Ilas" mien wa stern and he had
an air of aggressiveness; but the lines of
his face, which stamp him as a man of de
termination, softened In an amuei smile
when one of the objects of the visit a de
sire to refute stories of his illness was
mentioned.
"Xome persons In the I'nlted States are
persistently trying to make It appear that
you are not In good health, and that the
fact menaces the stability of the Mexican
nation." It was suggested.
"Fifty years ago," he said. '! can re

then I have paaaed no time on beds of
sickness."
Why." he said, seemingly pleased at the
recollection of scenes that rose before his
vision, "when I was In the field, leading
my army, there were months at a time
during which 1 slept under the open sky. 1
never was ill. If, then. I could endure such
hardships and keep my health, why should

CHIHUAHUA FACES
GENERAL FAMINE
(Continued from Pae One.)
he has gathered a force of I,'") men and Is
now within a few miles of '.he town. His
explanation of the defeat Is 'hat several
scouts, pent out to rcconnolter before the
attack, failed to report the lomlug of
Colonel Cuellar with & feeloral force. The
unexpected arrival of the federals resulted
in a panic among the ;nsiirrec;8. The
scouts, he said, had been shot.
't tluarter" t- Insnrgents.
The news from Mexico City C at Presi
dent Idas has decided to take advantage
of provisions of the constitution so that
summary death may be imposed by the
military authorities for any acts of vio
lence and that the Mexican government has
decided to wage a sharp and decisive war
of exteminatlon supposeCiy to end hostili
ties has spread throughout the insurrecto
ranks. The reply, through insurrecto sym
pathizers here, Is that In retaliation the
revolutionary forces hereafter will expect
and give "no quarter."
lnformatlein from insurrecto sources Is
that the attitude Of the Mexican govern
ment will Intensify situation already
tense and It necessarily will impose further
hardships on non-combatants, including
women and children living In the small
towns scattered throughout ' the "war
rone.
No word has come from the city of Chi
huahua for seven days. It 14 reported the
Insurrectos are encamped around the city,
twelve miles distant In each direction, and
are successful In maintaining a stoppage
of trains and telegraph communication both
north and south. When the last word was
received seven days ago It was that the
food question already had become critical
meat and breadstuffs having been ex
hausted. The continued isolation of the place has
given rise to grave fears as to the fate of
the 25,000 Inhabitants. The presence in the
city of 2,000 federal troops under General
Juan Hernandez,' whlje being looked upon
as sufficient protection against an attack,
is thought to have more than ordinarily
depleted , rations.
Like conditions prevail in many small
towns.
Federals Have Military Train.
The Mexican federal troops have been
provided with a "military, train by which
they hoped to be able to carry supplies to
the Isolated districts, . but the burning of
the bridges and the blowing up of the
tracks for miles has made the plan Im
possible." The trains are steel covered and provided
with loop holes for the action of the
machine guns.
The best information obtainable here as
to the strength of the opposing sides In
Sonora and Chihuahua states that the fed
erals under General Navarro have a total
of 5.000 men of whom 2,000 are in Chihua
hua city, 4130 in Juarez, and the rest scat
tered, while the Jnsciactos onder Madero
and General Pasqual oYoxco have about an
equal number, tout no- one force larger than
l.ooo. y.
In his letter 'Madero announced he had
taken prisoner and t would hold for trial
Colonel Jose Soto, a member of his own
staff, Soto says Madero was taken pris
oner soon after the retreat from Casas
Grandes.
The arriva! of United States troops here
today occasioned much Interest. The ar
rivals were two troops of the Eighth
cavalry from l'"ort M.-ade, S. L. With four
more troops due tomorrow from Fort
Snelling, Minn., and the troops already
here, they will compose a force of 900
men, under Colonel E. Z. Stevens.
From their post at Fort Bliss, the troops
have a direct view of the mountains in
Mexico.

General Blanco Hashes From Canyon
and Engages Federals.
DOUGLAS, Aris., March 12. Eleven were
killed In a 'battle near Auga Prieta today
between General Blanco's force of W0 rebels
and a federal force of 300. '
Eleven federals were wounded, but the
number of rebels wounded Is not known
as they took their Injured with them on
their retreat to the mountains.
After mystifying both the Mexican of
ficials and the Americans on the border
for a week, Blanco suddenly broke out of
the canyon heading from Cenises Springs
and engaged the federal troops that had
been rushed into Auga Prieta last night
on a special train under command of
Colonel Mora. Except for a few prisoners
taken by the federals, the rebels retreated
in good order. It Is understood that Blan
co's entire force did not participate In the
engagement.
Blanco'a first rnova was to throw out a
skirmish line for the purpose of drawing
the federals Into action to ascertain their
strength.
The battle lasted an hour and It Is be
lieved that the retreat that followed was
for the purpose of drawing tha federals
into the canyon, where the main body of
Blanco's force was stationed. The federals,
however, after a spirited pursuit,, rallied
and returned to Auga Prieta. refusing to
be entrapped.
Another Attack Kxpected.
Another attack is expected tonight. Three
hundred federal troops are being rushed
from Cananea to the relief of the Auga
Prieta garrison and should reach there by
daylight.
Both tha Mexican authorities and the
Americans In Douglas learned today that
the rebel camp was only a few miles east
of Douglas. The mountains break Into foot
hills about four miles from Agua Prieta,
the ground falling from these hills toward
the town in a series of draws, sparsely
covered with light memjuite. There are no
rocks for protection
By o'clock the rebels were seen stream
ing over a little bog and pouring down
into the Bids draw from the international
line.
The Americans began a rush from Doug
las to the boundary by thousands, mount
ing the house tops and waluhiug the rebel
movements with field glasses.
Automobiles streamed out from all direc
tions.. Soon the entire country from the
American custom bouse to die eastern
ouukiiis of the city was a solid phalanx

and had established a perfect patrol alnng
the lines.
The troopers went coollv about their busl
nes of preventing anv emu rwns; the
International boundary from elt'icr el.le.
From Aima 1'iieta a long line of federal
troops swept up over the bare mrjea, al
xanoing rapidly toward the rebel line ap
proaching from the east.
Federals Analt Hebels.
As the forces drew near il,.i federals
formed a solid fighting front. V hen about
half a mile from the reh -Is the fe.leials
crouched low and await -d the oncoming
rebels.
On the right of the federal f in e was the
Twent -seventh regiment of inlan'vy. On
the lift wing was the ThlrL'entli Infantry,
while in the center weio thirty iroiinlvd
rurales.
The federals had halted on the gentle
slope of the draw, almost ut ihj point

toward Cabullona. Only a few bi:f lies e. f

tinued to advance until within nrds of
the federal line. At this p.ilnt u.o f.-ierala
arose from their knees ind be firing.
The rebels deployed to tnc tight nrd
left, shooting from their horsos rnd then
diopplng from their saddles m fire from
their knees. At the first vollev, several
federal soldiers dropped. The soldi vs of
the Twenty-seventh regiment aeemcd to
bear the brunt of the rebel tire.
The rebels, after a short encounter at
close range, galloped over th? errst of lh
draw, the federals following. As the fed
erals appeared on high ground the In
surgents poured In a deadly lire and It
was at this point that mrlnt of the federal
soldiers were shot.
I.leu It-nun t Wounded.
Lieutenant Manuel Rubles of the Twenty
seventh fell, shot through the right
shoulder and the right arm. Lieutenant
Morales, also of the Twenty-seventh,
dropped with a similar wound.
The loss of tliene two men Is thought
to have affected the ranks of the federals,
for the troops on the left swung around,
followed blindly over the next ridge, where
