REBELS ARE IN ACCORD Departing Steamers Filled to Over flowing- With fleeing Foreign ers, Who Fear Anarchy Will Possess the Country. MEXICO CITT. April 17. Undis guised pessimism is manifested in ths capital as to the future of the Huerta government. In neither official nor unofficial circles are the statements of Ueneral Enrique Obregon, commander of the Bonora Insurgents, and Venus tlano Carranza, ex-Governor of Coa hulla. of the probable overthrow of Huerta, longer derided. Without exception the newspapers arer that the only hope of salvation lies In the flotation of a loan. Prao ticnlly all of them admit that non-recognition of the present administration makes this doubtful. The banks continue to reflect the government's financial difficulties and refuse to sell exchange except at ex orbitant rates, while merchants are raising their prices to balance the dif ' ferences between Mexican and foreign currency. Rebel Activity Extending. That the rebels in the north are ex pending their lines rapidly is indicated ' by the isolation today of Monterey and 'saltillo, the capitals, respectively, of jNuevo Leon and Coahulla, by the cut ting of the railroad at Linares, be 'tween Monterey and Tamplco. and the -main line of the National Kail road be ' tween ban Luis Potosl and Saltillo. The suspension of railway traffic has deflected the passenger business for abroad to Vera Crux and Tamplco, chiefly to the former. The traffic la large. The Ward Line steamer which sailed today from Vera Crus was crowded to overflowing. Some of the wealthy trav elers had to content themselves with quarters on the floor of the smoking room, while others could be accommo dated only In the second cabin, al though they paid first-class passage. Kereiaarrs Fear Aaareay. Many foreigners are leaving the . country for fear that anarchy will fol low the revolution. ' The government is using every ef fort to resist the advance of the rebels, but the extraordinarily rapid growth ! of the rebellion has brought the cen tral government face to face with the most serious situation it haa been called uoon to meet. The rebels practically are in control of the northern frontier. Carranza ana other Insurgent leaders are demonstrat ing that they are working in complete accord. Columns are moving eastward and westward from . Carranxa's com mand to effect lunctlons. It is believed here that General Trucy Aubert, ths federal commander. Is in some danger of being cut off at points which he is attempting to hold along the jsationai Railway. In the south, where it was believed 1he problem had been limited to the Zapata brothers, the strength of the rebels has Increased greatly and that of the government correspondingly di minished by the defection of the ru rales under the Figueroa brothers. A new revolt under Jesus Salgado has a big following. BOTH SIDES KUJi PRISONERS Bodies Hang From Xearly Every Telegraph Pole. Say Refugees. EL PASO. Tex April 17. Bodies hang from nearly every telegraph pole along 60 miles of the Mexican Central Railway below Chihuahua City, report refugees arriving tonight. Both the Federals and insurgent state troops are said to have participated in the execution of prisoners. In a quarrel over the disposition of sliver bullion stolen from a train last week. Juan Dozal, a former Orozoo chief, was executed by order of Pancho Villa, whose men held up the train west of Chihuahua City. Dozal Joined Villa in an expedition against the fed erals. From the Casaa Grandes district come reports of mutllnles against the Huerta government. Francisco Por tlllo and Maximo Castillo, with small groups of men, have deserted to the in surgents. So far as is known. Gen eral Inez Salazar is keeping his agree ment with General Huerta. All fed eral regulars have been removed from tne district, where extensive American timber interests are situated. VETERAN DIES AT ALBANY James Conn, 83, Leaves Many Rela tives in Oregon. ALBANY.

It was in timated at the same time that persons In the diplomatic service who might have large property- or financial in terests in the countries in which they are resident probably would not be retained in those places. A sweeping investigaton Is under way in the State Department in line with a statement about Latin American affairs issued recently by President Wilson asserting that any previous Influence that might have been exert ed by the American Government, for the promotion of loans or private en terprises would not be renewed. Treaties Will Be Dropped. In this connection. Secretary Bryan took under consideration today the status of proposed treaties between the United States and Nicaragua, Hon duras and Guatemala. The Impression exists that these conventions, which never were ratified by the Senate, but which had the sanction of the Taft Administration, will be dropped. The first of these treaties looked . - i.a. a trf t American su pervision over the customs collected In the countries concernea as a guar antee of American Investments.

Denwcratio Method of Handling Tariff Criticised as Giving Rixt to Abuse-. NEW YORK. April 17. At the close oftheir meeting late today the mem bers of the Progressive party National executive committee Issued a statement declaring there is no possibility of ths new party's ever amalgamating with either of he old parties. They criti cised the action of the Democrats In Congress with regard to the tariff. "There Is neither prospect nor possi bility of any amalgamation or combi nation of the Progressives with either of the old tory parties," says the offi cial statement. "The Republican party, under permanently reactionary leader ship, presents no hope of genuine pro gressive achievement. There can be no progressive Democracy because the Democratic theory of states' rights and progressive legislation are Incompati ble. The method by which the Demo cratic party at this moment is handling the tariff is precisely the method that has given rise to abuse lntne past; the method that insures preference to spe cial influences and prevents a genuine non-partisan effort to reduce excessive rates. ' "A permanent non-partisan tariff commission, with power to find out and report on the facts, whose duty it shall be to lay before Congress information without which Congress cannot act In telligently, offers the only way of rem edying abuses that have grown into our tariff policy. The Progressive pol icy believes In a protective tariff which will equalize conditions of competition between the United States and foreign countries, both for the farmer and the manufacturer, and which will maintain for labor an adequate standard of liv ing."

Phosphorle Acid Made Free. When the free list was reached the attendance of the caucus had dwindled to a few members. An amendment proposed by Representative Bartlett, of Georgia, placing phosphoric acid on the free list, was passed with little op position. The committee had fixed the duty at 2 cents a pound.

The caucus will complete the free list discussion early tomorrow and then take up the Income tax. It will finish the bill this week and probably will report it to the House next Monday.
