' MEXICO ' CITT, Dec 21. Rebel
forces ere croirdinfr close on Tamplco
and a formal attack may be expected
Boon. The report received by the gov
ernment last night that the assault had
bren jtlven was not questioned as It
vas assumed at the palace that this
was the rebel plan, but It developed
that the officer who made the report
.had become confused over a minor
engagement at a point some miles from
Tamplco.
The War Office baa utilised the time
since the last attack to strengthen the
garrison at Tamplco. and professes con
lidence in Its ability to resist the rebels.
Rebels Asala Appear.
Forres under General Panflio Natera

capital of the State of Zacatecas, and
between Saltlllo and San Lulu Potosl,
Jong the main line of the National
Railway rebels have again appeared
In large numbers. Thla region bad been
comparatively free of rebels several
davs. '
Two. minor engagements nave oc
curred between Taropico and Atakmlra,
3 miles to the north, and the federals,
according to the War Office, were vic
torious In both. It is also announced
by the War Office that General Inea
balasar has defeated the rebels be
tween Conejos and Bermejillo, in the
State of Coahulla, to the north t Tor
reon. Buken1 Saaarestloas Rejected.
The government and bankers have
not been able to agree on the solution
of the currency question. The commit
tee of bankers met again today with
the sub-secretary of finance, but their
suggestions were not accepted, chiefly
because the bankers would not listen
to the proposal that tho guarantee
fund should be deposited In the na
tional treasury. They Insisted that it
should be deposited In the National
Bank. ,
The management of the Bank of
London and Mexico says that It has
enough currency to meet the demands
should the withdrawal of deposits con
tinue tomorrow.
Government officials express pleas
ure at the auccess of the negotiations
lor a loan In Europe, but the conserv
ative and unofficial element profess to
see In it little that will assist President
Xuerta in operating the government
for any great length of time, since this
loan Is to meet Interest payments on

CONCESSIONS ARE MADE
All of Commissioned Officers of Bat
talion Suffer at Guaymas.
HERMOSIIXO, Sonora, 'Dec Jl. The
commissioned officers and many ser
geants and corporals of the Tenth bat
talion of the federal garrison at Guay
mas were executed at sunrise yesterday
In that city, according to word brought
here tonight.
Officers and men of tne Tenth were
disarmed several days ago by General
OJeda, federal commandant, when he
discovered they were plotting to desert
to the Insurgent side.
Accompanied by three of the federal
officers who surrendered to the insurg
ents at Maytorena, General Obregon,
field commander of the constitutional
ists In Western Mexico, returned here
last night to assist In locating the scat
tered groups of federal soldiers who
had deserted front the Guaymas garri
son. ' . .
General OJeda and his remaining
troops are still in Guaymas, as far as
could be learned, but Insurgent sentries
reported that one of the. federal gun
boats had disappeared. This was taken
as an Indication that at least a part of
the federal garrison had departed for
Mazatlan or Manianlllo, farther down
the west coast.
It was announced last night that
services of neither officers nor privates
of the deserting federals would be ac
cepted In the constitutionalist army.
This is in line with the policy of Gen
eral Carransa that service would be
accepted from only those federal army
men who had taken the first oppor
tunity to Join the revolutionists.
Major B. Figueroa and other federal
officers who surrendered at Maytorena
have received their freedom, and their
troops will be disarmed and set free,
since they will not be allowed to be
come constitutionalist soldiers, it Is
said. -

Have Right of Way.
WiSHrNOTOV. rwwv SI. An all-da?
conference of the 'Joint Congressional
MimmlttkA on the currencv bill, nut
that bill close to perfection tonight.
Problems involving tne reserve provi
sions, the size and character of the
Federal reserve board, the redemption
of 2 per cent Government bonds and
retirement of the present National bank
currency proved troublesome, but the
conference finally smoothed ont most
of the Issues between House and Senate.
Wh.n tha two branches of Congress
convene tomorrow. It is said, plans will
be made for a recess beginning Tues
day. It was predicted tonight that the
currency bill could be completed and
signed by the r resident late tomorrow
or Tuesday, and Congress has dropped
11 nth., nrnhldmi in anticlD&tlon of
the first actual recess that it will have
bad since April 7.
All Wilt te Get Away.
It is planned to drop all business un
til January 13. . President Wilson will
leave Washington for Pass Christian,
Miss., as soon as the currency bill is
signed.
An tolTiii of the bill bv Senator
Owen anad .Representative Glass, chair
men of the conferees, snowed z points
of difference between the two houses.
Many of these were of a minor charac
ter and disposed of quickly.
Ammff- thn more imDortant decisions
of the committee today were the following:
The minimum capital stock of eacn
regional reserve bank waa fixed at
000.000. a compromise between tne
J3.000.000 minimum of the Senate Dill
and the $5,000,000 minimum of the
House bill.
The Senate's provision for from
.ic-ht a is" rea-lonal banks was ac
cepted by the House In place of the
mlnmum of 12 fixed in the .House diu.
Six Per Ceat t Be Exacted.
t-i. cntA nrAiridnn that each mem
ber bank must subscribe for stock of
h. .-.e-innai hank in its territory equal
tn nr cent of the member bank's
capital and surplus was accepted by the
House to replace Its own prevision mat
the subscription must equal 6 per cent
the member bank's capital.
The Senate gave way on its provision
that no "class B" director of a re
gional bank, could be stockholder in
any member bank. This would permit
the three directors who represent ag
ricultural, commercial or Industrial"
interests In the directorate of each re
gional reserve bank to own stock In
local banks In their district.
Members Preparing; to Xavc
The attempt of the House conferees
to have the Secretary of Agriculture
anad the Controller of the Currency
made members of the organization
committee to inaugurate the new sys
tem and permanent members of the
Federal reserve board held the atten
tion of the conference through much of
the afternoon. The oHnse bill Included
these Federal offlcera aa members of
the board, while the -Senate allowed
only tho Secretary of the Treasury to
remain on the board.
Should the conference report be
ready tomorrow, it will have the right
of way In both the Senate and House,
and adjournment will follow as soon
as the President signs the bill. The
members of both bouses are preparing
to leave Washington for the holidays
even before President Wilson writes
bis approval on the new currency law.
Senate Reserve Section Wlaa.
After a lengthy argument the House
conferees agreed to accept the reserve
section written Into the bill by the
Senate. Under the House bill a reserve
of J3 1-S ner cent of gold was re
quired behind the Federal reserve notes
which will constitute the new cur
rency. The Senate provision agreed to
In conference provides for a 40 per
. with a tit nf 1 DAT Cent
Ion depreciation down to IlVi per cent
and a graduated tax below that point.
The Senate receded from an amend-

of merchandise. Tne House
yielded to a Senate amendment which
will allow the Secretary of thei
Treasury discretion in the depositing i
of Government Tunas in tne new itu
eral banks.
Rediscount Provtaloa Comaromlacd.
A compromise was arranged as to
the forcing of one regional bank to re
discount the paper of another, Dy
which the vote ot five memoers oi mo
reserve board will be necessary to
require such discounts, and the confer
ence struck out a Senate amendment
nnder which member banks could have
discounted with the regional banks
their own direct obligations.
The conference agreed to retain a
Senate amendment providing that no
member of Congress shall accept any
division of profit in the new system.
The amendment providing that the
Secretary of the Treasury, the assistant
Secretary of the Treasury and the
Controller of the Currency should be
ineligible for two years after leaving
the Government service for any posi
tion in a member bank also was ac
cepted. RATE siSllUDOLED
