MEXICAN REBELS MARCH TO BATTLE

Juarez Said to Be at Mercy of the Insurrectos. TOWN IS POORLY DEFENDED Federal Soldiers Dynamite Troop Train and Blow it to Pieces, Killing Five and Wounding Many—Battle Imminent.

El Paso, Tex., Feb. 3. J wA battle between the federals and 800 rebels who are marching on Jaurez and said to be twelve miles away to south with all reihforcemerts for border towns cut off and less than 300 armed men in town, including volunteers, rebels gay they will set up the capital of Chihuahua in El Paso’s sister city before another 24 hours. An attempt to get reinforcements into Jaurez from Casas Grandes, where Col. Robago and command have been fighting rebels and taking defeats for a week past, fai’ed when Mexican officials were unable to secure trainmen to run a train down the line after them. It would have been useless, as the insurrectos' advancing on the town held both the Mexican and the Mexico Northwestern roads and are advancing on the city in the shape of a fan.

The only clash so far between the advancing rebels and the federals came when the federal cavalry sent out to intercept the rebels, wrecked a train on which thp enemy was carrying explosives. At least five rebeles were killed and many wounded. The federals lost two killed and four wounded. Three trainmen were wounded, one of them an American, an engineer, named Charles Hay. The federals dynamited a small bridge about twenty miles south of Jaurez end then attacked the oncoming train. The train hearing only 45 men and high explosives ran into the cut and the federals opened fire The rebels replied and the fire of the federals sot off the dynamite. This literally blew- the train to pieces. The rebels on the train were working their way slowly along the track followed by the main body of troops. The federals finally retreated to the woods. Paschal Orozco Is In command of the rebels. He is known as chief of arms of the rebels and has been in command of the bands that have been doing such execution aginst the federals at Casas Grandes and Galena, south of here. He is a former telegraph opera or and son of a Wealthy rancher of Fhihuahua While they were held on the marooned trains between El Paso and Chihuahua, the American passengers were fed and treated courteously by the insurgents.. The passengers formed themselves into a volunteer red cross corps and, led by Miss Annette Cowles of Mexico City and assisted by Ex-Secretary Garfield, they aided the tvounded. Miss Cowles is head nurse of the National Railw‘ay hospital in Mexico City and was returning to Mexica from the states when her train was held up. The passengers tore up Pullman sheets and bandaged the wounds of the rebels and made them as comfortable as possible.

THIRTY KILLED IN LARGE EXPLOSION

Warrants Issued For Railroad Officials Held Negligent VICTIMS BLOWN TO ATOMS Bearch for Dead Continues, Although Bodies Are Found in Bmall Bits and Identification of Remains Are Made impossible.

New York, Feb. 3. —Warrants have been issued in Jersey City for the arrest of seven officers and employes of te Central railroad of New Jersey and the Du Pont Powder company and for James Healing, owner of the Katherine W., one of the two lighters which was destroyed in Wednesday’s explosion. The men against whom the warrants were issued are A. Hamilton, general freight agent of the Jersey Central; J. M. Morris, freight agent at Communipaw; Louis F. Galidetta, dockmaster at pier 7; Charles Ridder, checker at pier 7; Frederick Peters, manager of the Du Pont company; Captain B. St. John, superintendent of transportation of the Du Pont company, and James Healing, owner of the Katherine W. There are two warrants against each of the eight men, one for manslaughter and the other for violation of the city ordinance regarding permits for the handling of combustibles Those responsible for the prosecution say criminal negligence will also be Involved,

New York, Feb. 3. —With five separate investigations under way, there was every indication of determined official intention to get to the bottom of the causes of the disastrous explosion of dynamite on the Jersey City water front which cost many lives, caused the injury of hundreds of persons and material damage estimated at approximately $1,000,000. A fifth and important party to the investigation, it developed, was the United States government. The federal inquiry was in charge of H. P. Conreye. special agent of the bureau of explosives, under the jurisdiction of the war department. Coroner James M. Houghton set the beginning of his formal inquest for next Tuesday and the police summoned witnesses to appear next Wednesday night at police headquarters, while Prosecutor Garven said it would probably take him several days to cover all the ground necessary to his inquiry. No more bodies were recovered, although fragments unidentifiable were found near pier No. 7. There was more reason than ever, however, for believing that perhaps thirty workmen and sailors were killed. James Healing, who owned the Catherine W., said that all of that boat’s crew had been lost as well as the Whistlers’ which, with the twelve Polacks employed in handling dynamite, brings the number up to twenty-five. There Is some evidence that half a dozen Pollacks who were rot at work on the dynamite job, but were at the end of the pier to see their friends at the lunch hour were blown to pieces. The railroad did not attempt to use divers because, as Vice President Besler suggested, what would be the use. All of the men who were killed were blown to bits and no more has been found of any man who was actually at the center of the explosion than portions of a body. Only eight victims of the explosion are in the Jersey City hospitals. The most seriously injured of these are John A. Deppon and Charles McNeal. the engineer of the lighter Emperor. It was the largest explosion of dynamite ever known, 50,000 pounds going up in a single detonation. Fifty thousand more failed to explode. The cars which contained it were twisted and torn and the boxes were strewn on every side, but the dynamite, thick with the dust and debris of the explosion, was unharmed and intact in its paper coverings.

ARCHBISHOP RYAN DYING

Pulse of Venerable Prelate Very Weak and End May Be Near. Philadelphia, Feb. 3.—The archbishop is at present in a comatose state. His pulse is weaker than at any time heretofore. He may not survive. Several hours before the bulletein was issued, the venerable archbishop lighting off the dimming veil of unconsciousness, dictated what may prove to have been his last words, a message to Pope Pius. It was an answer to a cablegram received earlier in the day Inquiring about the prelate’s condition.
