haw been Bent across the bonier. M
tome cases even at the regular post

It Is pointed out by the same offi
cials that, since tbe rebels control a
large part of the frontier, this country
is dependent absolutely for the time
being on the United Stutes to prevent
the rebels from obtaining supplies.
That the rebels are securing inutili
ties of ammunition appears to be a
fact.
Kesldenta in the capital are nervo.is
because of continued rumors of friu
tion between President Huertu and
General Felix Diax, and of plots and
intrigues, even to the fixing of tots
when a new battle may be expected
in the streets, or the assassination '

questions of rivers and harbors work,
