Troops to Meet Sew Resistance. EL PASO. Tex.. Dec. 6. A new revo lutionary movement has been started In Mexico, according to copies of a proclamation received here today and signed by Jose Inez aalazar and Kmilio P. Campa, two former federal Generals. They were reported at the head of troops In central Chihuahua and about to attack Casas Grandes, a strategical point southwest of Juarez and west of Chihuahua City. The proclamation denounced both, the Carranza constitutionalist government as established at Vera Cruz ana the convention government sustained by Villa. It was said that a convention form of government would be estab lished by the new party. Support in all parts of Mexico was claimed. ' Declaration Follows Escape. The document was dated at Vado de Pledra, Chihuahua, on November 25. This - was a few days after General Salazar eseaped from the Jail at Al buquerque, N. M-, where he was held on a charge of perjury. He previously had been detained at Fort Bliss, Tex., by the American military authorities. Both he and Campa had been chiefs tinder the Huerta government together with General Pascual Orozco, who pre viously had headed a revolution against the Madero government. Orozco is re ported in New York conferring with agents of the former Huerta govern ment, and. It Is asserted, attempting to buy arms and . ammunition. The new movement is denounced by both Villa and Carranza followers as a re actionary attempt. The Villa commander at Casas Grandes, Colonel Manuel Ochoa, ap pealed today to the commander at Juarez for 500 troops to assist In de fending the town, which contained a trarrison of only 100 men. Juarez could not spare the reinforcements and Ochoa was reported as preparing for evacua tion. It was said that Salazar with more than 500 men was in the vicinity. Villa Forces Depleted. The Villa forces in Northern Mexico have been depleted greatly by the move ment of the convention troops into Mex ico City, the garrison remaining being only large enough to furnish police protection. Together with the menace of the new revolt, Carranza agents assert that the Obregon and Gonzales troops are about to begin an aggressive movement along each coast and along the border. The Carranza element claims the seaports of Tampico, Vera Cruz and Guaymas, as well as all ports on the border east of Juarez. They expect to shut off com munications Into the Interior and force the convention troops Into their terri tory. BRITISH FEAR FOR EMIATAY Ambassador Telia Bryan of Oar ranza's Threat to Disable Line. "WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British Ambassador, informed the State Department today of a dispatch from British Charge Hoh. ler, In Mexico City, saying reports were current that General Carranza was planning to destroy the British-owned l-allroad between Vera Cruz and Mexi co City by blowing up certain tunnels. The Ambassador also informed the department that Carranza had seized, at Vera Cruz, British cotton consigned to Interior mills, as well as other ship ments of British goods. He is under stood to have made no specific re Quest of the United States, and his action was in line with the established policy of communicating to the depart ment all reports from Mexico City. Grave concern was expressed, how ever, over the reported threat of Car ranza to put the railway, the only line operated between Mexico City and Vera Cruz, out of commission. If this were done by destroying tunnels, a long time would be required to restore traf fic Meanwhile British subjects and other foreigners In interior Mexico would not have that means of escape from Mexico City. Sir Cecil let It be known the British government has not taken a position of unfriendliness toward the possible candidacy of Villa for the Mexican presidency. It Is understood that Eng land will not undertake to pass upon the right of any individual to aspire to the leadership In Mexico. That, however, does not mean that any in demnity for the death of the British subject, Benton, would not be demand ed from Villa should he become presi dent, or from whoever may ultimately be settled in that office. 1 r''Jl'"-'i . - . i : sv-.-; ksr' l " .

Speaking at Laldlaw today at a ban quet celebrating the official completion of the Tumalo project.

Substantiating his charge, he read letters establishing with apparent cer tainty that Newell frqm the first had understood the matter and agreed that the state was fulfilling its part of the co-operative bargain by making the Tumalo appropriation. The Governor added that from personal knowledge he was sure that Secretary Lane in no wise was hostile to the action desired by Oregon in the premises and that prob ably he was simply laboring under a misunderstanding for which the Re clamation Service In a measure was responsible. The particular letter from Director Newell which bears out the Governors contention was written on June 10 of last year. In it Governor West is ad vised that the matter of co-operation in the possible construction of the Tu malo project had been considered by Secretary Lane and that he approved a recommendation of the Reclamation Service that if investigations show the construction of the Tumalo project feasible the President will be asked to set aside in the reclamation fund not exceeding $450,000 to co-operate with the state in connection with the con struction of the project. Preceding the banquet the forenoon was devoted to going over the project and examining all its engineering fea tures.

EAST BENEFITED, HE SAYS Railroad Executive Thinks Manu facturers Will Absorb Differ ence Effect on Foreign Trade Undetermined. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 5. Competi tion between the transcontinental rail. roads and the eteamship companies using the Panama Canal has become so keen, and Its results are making them selves felt In such far-reaching fash- Ion, that President Sproule. of the Southern Pacific Company, in an au thorized interview here tonight, said "The commerce of the Pacific Coast is in the throes of a transportation crisie." 1 It was assumed In advance that ths steamship lines would reach out suc cessfully for bulk cargoes and imperlsh able foodstuffs, such as grain, onions, Dotatoes and unrefined sugar, but within the week one of the biggest companies has announced that it is in the market for fruit and vegetables hitherto shiDDed by rail in refrigerated cars. This commerce has been one of the most valuable revenue producers the railways have had. Sea Carriers Get 61 Per Cent. , . "The tonnage from California to the Atlantic seaboard," said President Sproule, "by sea and rail combined, in August. September and October. 1913, was 120,000. Of this, the railroads got 67,000 tons, or 56 per cent, and the sea carriers got 53,000 tons, or 44 per cent. "For the same penoa in iyi4. tne total tonnage was 170,000. Of this the railroads got 67,000 tons or 39 per cent, and the sea carriers got 103,000 or 61 per cent. The increased total Presi dent Snroule attributed to better crops. "Thus the sea carriers" proportionate takings of the total tonnage from Cali fornia for these three months," he continued, "increased 17 per cent, while the percentage of tonnag by rail de creased to the same extent." As to what will become of the sav ing made by water transportation he said: East Declared Benefited. "The Eastern buyer will absorb the fTeduction in cost of carriage. It is not likely that new manufacturers will be stimulated, because of our higher wage scale and higher standard of individual living. On the contrary, this market is likely to be crowded with the produc tion of Eastern manufacturers. "With respect to our foreign trade, the effect of the canal cannot be de termined until the European war ends." which, he says, : will be : opened as an Iron mine as soon as his syndicate can organize the properties and get vaa chinery on the ground. " Mr. Greer is a civil engineer and has spent nearly two years and a half in investigating the district and prospect ing the ledges for iron ore. He said they would go ahead with tne aevei- opment soon. It has been known for years that Iron ore abounds in the Iron Mountain country, but the distance from a rail road discouraged any material activity in that direction. Mr. Greer's backers now have the encouragement of a railroad within 12 or 15 miles of the territory, and could hope for an extension of the Smith- Powers railroad, providing tney couia show it would pay to extend the rails. There is some suspicion the railroad was constructed to tap this iron dis trict, in addition to opening up the vast forests of Port Orford cedar and fir which lie in the southern part of Coos County. The Smith-Powers road has been termed a logging road by its builders, yet it has been constructed on the most advantageous grades, and is equal in physical perfection to any railroad In the state. Its eventual utility Is the mystery of Oregon railroads and it has been expected by some to be an extension of the Southern Pacific towards Eu reka, by others the first section of a connection with Grants Pass and Medford. but all along there has been constant talk of the great mining dis trict It could open with a few miles' extension towards the Rogue River. ation feel optimistic regarding the success of the sixth annual show and sale."
