EL PASO. Tex., May 8. Insubordina
tion In the ranks of General Madero's
army and a lust for the tight of which
concessions from the federal govern
ment had apparently deprived them
. caused a fierce attack on Juarez, which
culminated tonight in a careful re
treat of the lnsurrectos under cover
Of darknesa after a day of continuous
skirmishing.
The 150 rebels who early today
opened fire on the federals not only
captured some of the Important out
posts but carried the fighting into
Juarez. Failing reinforcements, they
retired.
The casualties of the lnsurrectos and
federals are not known tonight, but
five people on the American side of the
line were killed and at least 11
wounded. Thousands of people In El
Paso dotted roof tops or lined the
river banks In direct line of the fire.
American Colonel Protests.
Colonel Steever, of the Fourth United
States Cavalry, protested tot. both
armies against the fire Into Ameri
can territory, and It lessened con
siderably thereafter. He sent two mes
sengers with his protests. One man
bore a flag of truce and another an
American flag. His protest to Madero
read:
"In the name of the President and
the Government of the United Statea I
hereby protest against the men under
your command handling their arms In
such a way that bullets fall into United
States territory, as Is happening to
day." Nearly 1000 American troops were
massed on the border, keeping the
crowds back and ready to respond to
any orders from Washington.
Tonight couriers are galloping back
and forth in an effort to arrange an
armistice so peace negotiations can
go on.
Thrills and Terror Great.
' General Francisco I. Madero. Jr., is a
sad and disheartened man. Ills efforts
to prevent a general attack were suc
cessful, but only after be bad been bom
barded with conflicting stories as to the
actual cause of the conflict. General
Madero tonight thinks remarks attrib
uted to Colonel TamboreL of the federal
garrison in Juarez, taunting the insur
recto. Incensed them. General Madero
In a statement issued tonight regrets the
occurrence.
The fight lasted until darkness came
and furnished many a thrilling spectacle
as well as continuous terror for Ameri
cans living along the river bank. About
a dozen lnsurrectos were seen to run
toward Juarez early in the day. They
skulked along through the shrubbery
toward the federal outposts, firing re
peatedly at a squad of federals cooped
up in an adobe house.
The version of the affair given at the
Madero headquarters tonight Is that the
federals began the engagement. At any
rate the federals soon left their adobe
stronghold and fled, pursued by the ln
surrectos. At the head of the lnsurrec
to band was a Canadian. W. J. McKen

aa he pressed close to Juarez.' At his
first few shots, two federals toppled
over. Soon the federals abandoned their
trenches and the rebels fired intermit

noon, the federals brought their artil

Claimants to Seek Long-

FINAL SETTLEMENT DUE
Attorney Hughes, of Seattle, lie-
views Efforts of Entrymen . to
Obtain Rights to Property and
AVhlch Have Been Withheld.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. May 8. Cunningham coal en
try men of Alaska, through E. , C.
Hughes, of Seattle, their attorney, to
day made a final appeal for the issu
ance of their long-deferred patents by
the General Land Office.- Argument
was made before Land Commissioner
Dennett and his law officers. Secretary
of the Interior Fisher Bitting with them
and participating in tho hearing.
In his argument, which was exhaus
tive and convincing, Mr. Hughes re
viewed the law applicable to the Aise,
tracing its history and pointing out Its
application. He then at length re
viewed the evidence in the case, show
lng the utter lack of anything, he con
tended, which would Justify the depart
ment in ruling adversely to the entry-
men.
Mr. Hughes began his argument at
10 o'clock this morning and was ob
liged to conclude at 4:30 this after
noon, with a noon recess of an hour
and a half. John Gray, of Wallace,
Idaho, associate counsel, will be
granted an hour and a ball tomorrow
to make the closing argument of the
facts and evidence.
Mr. Hughes, in opening his argu
ment this morning, showed that at the
time Cunningham first learned of coal
deposits In Alaska and first undertook
to interest others In it, the general
coal land law of 1873 had been extend
ed to Alaska, but was Ineffective, as
It permitted entries only on surveyed
ubllc lands. The Government had
failed to make surveys In Alaska, hence
no entries could be made In Alaska
under that statute.
Land Is Filed Upon.
Cunningham and his associates, un
der a false apprehension, proceeded
In 1902 to file on this land under gen
eral mining laws and, assuming they
could obtain a patent in this way, did
much exploration and development
work to determine value of the lands
they sought to acquire before making
payment.
In 1903 Cunningham learned that he
and his associates could not acquire
title under the mining laws and were

Finds Ancient Indian Vessel.
EUGENE, Or, May 8. (Special.)-
While grubbing out a stump on his I
ranch south of here several days ago,
W. W. Comer unearthed a fifeavy stone
bowl, such as was used by the Indians
for grinding grain and roots. The old

the foot of the stump.
The bowl Is about 30 Inches in diame
ter, and is 10 Inches high. It weighs
almost 60 pounds, and Is carved, or
ground, out of hard blue flint. Old set

vessels in use among the Indians, who
used them as mortars in grinding. In
spite of the hardness of the material,
the old vessel Is remarkably symmetrical.

eight elevator constructors who were
at work and forced them to turn, over
their union cards. After the taking
away of their cards, the elevator con
structors were driven from the build

Harriman Official Says Double
Track AVill Extend to los An

LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 8. (Spe
cial.) James J. Hill, the railway mag
nate, who has been carrying on a nation-wide
war witn the Harriman in
terests, is about to shift the seat of that
war to California, by entering this state
from the northwest, where he is
strongly Intrenched, according to the
statement today of Robert E. Strahorn,
vice-president and general manager of
the O.-W. R. & N. Company.
Strahorn is the man who, in the em
ploy- of Harriman, built the mysterious
romance" railroad In the Northwest,
which after six years of construction
work and completion of about 300 miles
of track, was discovered to be a Harri
man interest invading the Hill strong
hold in the Northwest.
Strahorn says that the Hill interests
will not Invade California from Denver,
one of the Western terminals of the
system, but that a great double-track
line will be laid from Seattle south
through the vast lumber areas of
Northern California down to San Fran
cisco and eventually on to Los Angeles.
This part of the construction will
come first, says Strahorn, and after that
will follow the building of a connecting
link In the chain of Hill roads which
will give Los Angeles another through
line to the East by connection with tha
Burlington at Denver.
Strahorn refused to say that he has i
information to the effect that Hill is
contemplating the construction of this
road from the northwest into Califor
nia 'and on down to the Mexican fron
tier in the immediate future, but he
did say that it is a piece of railroad
work which may be looked for In a
short time.

SEATTLE TRADE WARNED
Pioneer Miner Declares Far North
Investors Are Downtrodden Long
Enough Fighters Upheld.
$100,000 Already Raised.
SEATTLE, Wash., May 8. (Special.)
Alaskans in Seattle are considering
seriously a plan to raiso $1,000,000 in
cash to be used In directing a move
ment for their country's freedom.
The plan as outlined is to back the
5000 volunteers already assembled In
Alaska In their efforts to mine the coal
fields cf Katalla and Matanuska in de
fiance of the United States Government.
Details are being considered and it is
probable that a general meeting of
those interested will be held within
the next 24 hours.
The abrogation of the laws of the
United States, the violation of every
clause of the Declaration of Indepen
dence and the setting aside of many of
the fundamental principles of the Con
stitution, Alaskans declare, can be
borne no longer. Clearly, they con
tend, the present Administration and
the one that precided it have forced
them to desperate measures. t
Nation's Delay Blamed.
"The unfortunate part of the whole
proceeding," said Falcon Joslin, a pio
neer miner and investor of the North,
"is that the very people who are most
vitally affected by the long-continued
delay on the part of the Government
of the United States, the rightful own
ers of this Northern coal, have been
'buffaloed' by the agents of the Gov
ernment. They have cases pending
before the Land Department and they
are afraid of jeopardizing their inter
ests. For years and years. It seems
so long that 'the memory of man run
neth not to the contrary,' the people
of Alaska have asked the Government
of the United States to enforce Its own
laws. Its law Constitution and the pre
cepts of the Declaration of Indepen
dence, upon which the Constitution was
founded. They have been ignored,
their requests have been pigeonholed
and those who have given up the best
years of their lives in fruitless effort
to develop their properties in Alaska
have been laughed at for their pains.
It is no wonder these pioneers feel
angry.
Seattle Is Warned.
"Perhaps the more observing citizens
have noticed a tendency on the part
of some Alaskan newspapers to decry
Seattle. It is the beginning of the
spirit of reprisal that lies dormant 1
the breast of every man whose blood
runs red. If Seattle desires to main
tain Alaska's trade some of her busi
ness men had better get busy."
When the proposal to back the vol
unteers in mining the coal of Bering
River fields was discussed this morn
ing, pledges aggregating $100,000 were
obtained In two hours. This was all
that was desired. It was sufficient to
test the temper of the people and the
subject was dropped temporarily until
a more definite plan Is evolved.
Woodrow Wilson Informed.
While the proposal to finance the .
open disobedience to the mandates of
the Federal Government Is being dis
cussed, the Alaskans are not "overlook
ing any bets" In other quarters. Be
lieving that Woodrow Wilson, Gov
ernor of New Jersey, Is probable Presi
dential timber, they have written him
a full statement of the facts, with the
request that he advocate the liberation
of Alaska.
