Jiminez, May 4 The entire rebel army, numbering in tne neighborhood of 7000 men, has assumed the offen sive. Convinced that General Huer t. the federal leader, was determined to act on the defensive in territory selected by himself, General Pascul Orozco, the rebef commander in chief has set his army In motion across the desert. That the government leader intends to make his final stand at Torreon seemingly was confirmed by the with drawal of his advance guard from Co nejos upon the appearance of Colonel Caesar Canales, with the vanguard of the rebel cavalry. There was no fight ing and the rebel leaders jubilantly telegraphed news of their first "tri umph." Not only have the federal troops been withdrawn from Conejos, but it Is reported that the small garrisons scattered along the railroad south of there are being called in. It is pos sible that some resistance may be of fered at Mapiml, but the rebel lead trs are convinced that the main en gagement will be fought at the gates of Torreon. If announced plans are followed however the city w'M no! be assaulted but will be besieged, Orozro believes that he has men enough to j Ku.nu eveiy passage in ana out ot tne federal base. The main body ot the liberal army Is encamped near Conejos. By Mon day at the latest, it is believed, the rebels will be within firing distance of their main objective. WILSON WOULD PUT BAN ON ORIENTALS San Francisco. C.il., May 4 In a telegram received here today by for mer Mayor Phe'.anj Governor Wood row Wilson, candidate for the demo cratic presidential nomination, voices in no uncertain terms his attitude on the question of oriental exclusion and encroachment of Asiatic labor. Tho telegram was sent in response to a question as to his views, addressed to Governor Wilson in behalf of a large number of California voters. Governor Wilson says he stands for a national policy of exclusion or re- j st rifted immigration, as regards Chi-j neso and Japanese Immigration. He says we can not make a homogenous population out of a people who do not blend with the Caucasia races, as their lower standard of living and labor will crowd out the white agricultural ists. In other fields also, Chinese and Jpnnese coolies are it serious menace. "The success of free democratic in stitutions demands of our people." says Wilson, "education, Intelligence and patriotism and the state should protect them against unjust and im possible competition. Remunerative labor Is the basis of contentment. "Democracy rests on equality of citizens Oriental col'.ieism will give us another race problem to solve and surely we have had our lesson."
