CAN AXE A. Max, Mar 12 Thla town,
owned alrooat entirely by Americans
and with a largo American population,
la threatened with a siege by tha rebel
army of 1400 man. commanded by Juan
Cabral. It may poaalbly escape If It
surrenders Colonel Chlapaa, who put to
death Colonel Talamanles and his two
sons.
Tha garrison, lulled Into a sens ef
security early today by word brought
by scouts that tha main body of J. Cab
ral'a force had struck camp and
was movies; to tha southward, was
aaakened to fereiiah activity later by
reports of rebel operations harlot; for
their object tha complete Isolation of
tha camp. Alt available men are
strengthening tha defenses. In tha
fear that tha lnaurrectoe are about to
deliver their long expected attack.
Communication by Rail Cat.
Word cams today that tha Southern
Pacific Railroad between Cananea and
Xaro and between Ial Rio and Mollno
had been put out of commission by tha
destruction or brtdces. thus cutting Ca
, nanea off from both Kaco and Xogalea.
! Tha railroad telegraph wires were cut
en both branches and a private tel
'phone wire to Naeo has been severed.
' Cananea'a only remaining means of
ommunlcatton with tha outside world
Is tha federal telegraph wire to
morales.
Cananea's garrison number 75 men.
Tha town Is fairly wall fortified, but It
Is probable that tha rebels could mus
ter a fore of more than ISO men by
'combining all tha hands operaUng In
this region.
Major Plead With Cabral.
' fayor Arnold, of Cananea. went out
late today to Intercede with tha rebel
chiefs and urge them not to attempt
the capture of Cananea. The Mayor
was accompanied by tha other civil of
ficials. They urged upon Cabral that an at
tack upon Cananea would result
chiefly in daman, to American Inter
ests, while the Rain to tha rebels would
be slight In fact, little mora than tha
capture of three machine guns, which
are said to be owned by the Cananea
Consolidated Mining Company and not
by the federal government.
It Is reported here that Cabral had
decided to forego hi threatened at
tack upon Cananea and proceed
against Hennoaillo. when It was
learned that Colonel Chiapas, who was
with the federal garrison that aban
doned Agua Prleta. had left that force
at Niro and swung down to Cananea.
entering tha camp to reinforce tha
garrison.
Kerens on Chiapas Sought.
Chiapas Is on of tha moat bitterly
haied of the federal leaders. lie Is
charged with having caused the execu
tion of Colonel Talamantes and the
latter' two sons while h was Prefect
of Mocteauma. " For three months the
Insurrectos have been relentless In
their pursuit of Chiapas, but h has
continually succeeded In evading them.
Colonel Talamantea had been In
command of the federal force at Ala
mos and had gone over to the rebel
cause When Colonel Chiapas and
Colonel OJeda recaptured Sahuarlpa
from the Insurrectos early In the So
nora campaign. Talamentea was taken
prisoner and. with his two sons, was
put to death.
It is understood that Joan Cabral
demands the surrender of Chiapas as a
preliminary before he will discuss
terms for the temporary abandonment
of the proposed attack upon Cananea.
Cananea Is the headquarters of the
Cananea Consolidated Mining Company,
an American corporation, controlled by
Colonel W. C. Green, and has a large
American population.' It was the seen
of anti-American riots over a year ago.
The principal railroad to the town Is
an extension of the Southern Pacific,
over which the product of the smelter
Is hauled to the L'ntted State.

Every Shipment Will Be Examined,
but Question of Export of Arms
I Left Open by Knox In
quiry Proposed in House.
WASHINGTON, May It. Legitimate
commerce between the united States
and the border towns of Mexico, now
held by the insurrectos, will not be in
terfered with by the United States.
The problem of international law
arising from the border situation was
discussed by th Cabinet today and the
general policy was laid down that
there would be no interruption of trade
which did not violate the neutrality
of the United States.
Administration officials decline to
discuss hypothetical questions relating
to the exportation of arms and ammu
nition. While there will be freedom
of ordinary commerce, it was clear
it will be the policy to examine every
shipment, to see that It does not offend
the neutral position of this country.
The State Department issued an of
ficial statement outlining the policy,
but saying this Government's course
had no bearing on the question of the
recognition of the belligerency of the
Insurrectos.
Commerce to Go on as Before.
The question of preserving the neu
trality of the United States is .placed
largely In the hands of the United
States collector of customs along the
border. They must pass upon the le
gality of all shipments. Colonel Steever
was Instructed by Secretary of War
Dickinson to permit all shipments
which pass through the custom-house
It El Paso to enter Juarez.
"Commercial exportations and Inter
course of whatever description between
Juares and El Paso," says the State
Department's statement, "are not in
legal contemplation essentially affect
ed by the mere fact that Juarez Is now
In the actual possession of the insur
gents Instead of the Mexican federal
authorities. The same principles, of
course, apply In all places where the
condition of insurgency exists.
Neutrality Not Affected.
"These facts have nothing whatever
to do with any question of the recogni
tion of belligerency, the duty of the
Government of the united States re
maining In all cases that of enforcir.fr
It so-called neutrality statutes, which
forbid military and naval expeditions
and enterprises against friendly coun
tries originating or fostered on United
States soil, but which, being merely
local laws. Impose upon this Govern
ment, or in favor of any foreign gov
ernment, no International obligation,
the rights of foreign governments In
matters of neutrality being derived
wholly from the rules and principles
of International law."
All arms surrendered by the Mexican
federal soldiers to the United States
officers In Douglas, Ariz., after the
capture of Agua Prleta by the rebels,
will be turned over to the Mexican
Consul in Douglas. The commanding
officer in Douglas was so directed.
Inquiry Into Killing Proposed.
Resolutions were Introduced in the
House of Representatives by Fowler of
Illinois asking the Secretary of War
for Information concerning the deaths
of United States citizens within 2a
miles of the Mexican border as a re
sult of the revolution and providing
for the election of a special committee
of seven to inquire into tne matter.
Both resolutions were referred to the
rules committee.

AMERICANS MAY BE ARRESTED
Charge of hoofing Is Against Soma
of Those Who Took Juarez.
J UAKti, May 1Z warrants were
sworn out today before Mexican provi
sional officials in Juarez for the arrest
of a number of the membors of the so
called American legion in the insurrbcto
army, on the charge -ef looting and
robbing Chinamen during the recent
fighting. Several have come to the
American side.
Twenty-two Americans composed the
American force that made ltseif famous
by its desperate fighting during the
three days in the streets of Juarez.
Whether charges of looting have been
brought against all of these is not
known.
According to one of their num
ber, warrants are out for William Jay,
of Iluntsvill. Ark.; David M. Mitchell.
of Minneapolis, formerly a sergeant in
the United States Army; Captain Lln-
defelt. First Lieutenant McDonald and
Second Lieutenant Crum.
Whatever else may occur, xthe Imme
diate effect has been the practical elim
ination of the American fighting force
from the ranks of the lnsurrecto army.
The Americans themselves vehemently
deny the charges of looting made
against them, claiming that Jealousy
among the lnsurrecto leaders is back of
the charge, and that the moving incen
tive Is the taking of all the credit tor
the victory to the Mexicans, to the ex
clusion of the Americans and of Colo
nel Garibaldi, the grandson of the Ital
ian patriot.
But He Will Not Retire Until Mexico
I at Peace Madero Has Held
Back Reply Three Days.
MEXICO CITT. May 12. General
Dla will not leave the ' presidency
while the country Is In Its nresent tt
of unrest. He stands ready to state In
more explicit terms than those con
tained In his recent manifesto. If nece.t
sary, his attitude with reference to
his retirement. He has demanded to
know from his opponent the terms in
which they expect him to announce his
willingness to resign and Is waiting a
reply from them.
The president' declaration last Sun.
day waa made In good faith and with
the desire to serve the Interests of his
country. There wss no subterfusra in
his declaration. He meant what he
said that ne would lay down the rein
of government when he could do so
without danger of anarchy or chaos
following his action.
Minister of Flnano Jose Tves IJm.n.
tour made the above explanation todar
to a representative of th Associated
Press.
He said that, .following th Issuance
of tha president's manifesto and Its re
jection by the revolutionists, a message
was sent to judge Carbalal, the gov
ernment' peace representative, asklne
that Madero and hi followers state
exactly In what terms they desired the
announcement that the president was
willing to resign.
General Diaz would explain, said Mr.
Llroantour, precisely what he meant by
his expression: "When his conscience
tell him that be can do so without
giving over the country to anarchy,"
ana tne explanation, ne added, would
show no hidden meaning was intended.
The message should have been in
Madero' hand for at least -three day
na up to tonignt no reply had been
received. The next step by the gov
ernment appear to hinge on the re
ceipt or non-receipt of a further pro
posal from th revolutionists. Nothing
further is to oe inaugurated by tha
officials in th direction of peace conferences.

REBELS ORGANIZING STATES
Chihuahua and Sonora Theirs.
Arms to Be Imported. -JUAREZ.
Max, May 12. The pro
visional government of Mexico made
uch progress with its work of organi
sation today that it is believed that
the States of Chihuahua and Sonora
will be completely administered by its
state and municipal officers within a
few days.
The establishment of garrisons in
various places in Northern Mexico, the
installation of local officials, the open
ing of all railway and telegraph lines
is being accomplished by direction of
provisional President Madero and his
cabinet.
Though nothing was done today by
officers of tha provisional government
respecting peace negotiations, the fact
that there Is a deadlock: over procedure
became more and more pronounced. The
federal government and the provisional
government are keeping their distance.
each waiting for the other to make the
first move. The Insurrectos contend
that Judge Carbajal suspended negotia
tions after they had submitted a propo
sition asking General Diaz to announce
his Intention of resigning. Now that
Diaz has done that, though the Insur
rectos say it was done In a vague and
diffident manner, the insurrectos are
awaiting some word from Judge Carba
jal. but the unofficial go-betweens are
again busy In an effort to bring the
two sides together. They expected to
get an audience with Madero today but
were not successful. Tomorrow, It is
expected, he will listen to what Is be-.
Haved to be their new argument.
Hope for Peace Survives.
A gleam of hope for peace is con
tained in the fact that some rebel lead
ers have declared they would be willing
to accept General Diaz' manifesto as
sufficient evidence of hi Intention to
resign and go ahead with peace ne
gotiations, provided the government
consented to the Immediate appoint
ment of Governors for 14 of the 27
states and a general transfer of power
into the hands of the revolutionist
party. On the other hand, some of tha
lnsurrecto leaders believe the military
successes of the insurrectos soon will
include Mexico City, where the pro
visional government will be moved, and
that peace at this time hardly would
afford as complete a transfer of po
litical power as surely would follow
military triumph.
It is pointed out that the rebel chiefs
in the south would consent to nothing
