DURANGO SACKED BY REBELS
Refugees Tell o f Narrow Escape
From Mexican Town.
San Francisco—Details o f the occu-
pation of Durango by Mexican rebels
are told by refugees who arrived here
on the Pacific Mail steamer City of
Sydney, whose passenger list, like
those of all vessels arriving here from
Mexican ports, was made up largely
of people who fled the disordered coun
try. Of those who arrived, one party
of 81 persons traveled across the des
ert afoot and on mules from Durango
to the coast, a distance o f 160 miles,
closely pursued by bandits.
When the opposing forces met at
Durango, say members o f the party,
4200 rebels commanded by General
Toma Urbino, and 800 Federate, 500
state troops and 600 volunteers com
manded by General Escadero Aneya
participated. Both sides had guns.
When the rebels entered the city,
the refugees say, they freed 400 pris
oners from the jails, robbed the banks
of $500,000 in gold and sacked the
city. Colonel Hernandez, of the Fed
eral army, was placed against a wall
and shot.
K. W. Stepp, a civil engineer, who
was one o f the passengers, was shot
through both legs in the Durango bat
tle. Mrs. Thomas Matthews said just
as she was leaving her home in Dur
ango a band o f the rebels threw dyna
mite into the house and demolished it.
Other members of the party told of
the murder of Oliver Palmer, a tele
graph operator who had refused to
open a 8afe jn his office, and of the
robbery of Theodore O. Hamm, Amer
ican consul at Durango.

Salem—Assertions of special writers
o f prominence for Eastern magazines
that the Progressive party is well or
ganized and stronger than when Col
onel Roosevelt was its candidate for
president are not proved, so far as
Oregon is concerned, by the registra
tion figures so far this year. The fig
ures received to date by Secretary of
State Olcott from 14 counties show
that the Bull Moose party has about 4
per cent of the total registration.
As a matter o f fact unless the Pro
gressive party adherents are emulat
ing the Democrats in registering one
way and voting another, the new party
will have a small following at the next
election, if the present ratio keeps up.
The figures show a return of Progres
sive party men to the Republican
ranks, with many Democrats pursuing
their old tactics of registering as Re
publicans.
