REVOLT NEARS END
Huerta Asked to Agree to Policing
ol Chihuahua By Rebels.
Federal* With 6000 Men Control
Situation —Inturrecto* In Sore
Financial Straits.
Chihuahua— General Pascual Orosco,
the rebel chief, ha* decided to ask
General Huerta, the federal command
er, advancing northward with 6000
men, to agree to the policing o f this
city by a rebel garrison whose neu
trality should be respected by the gov
ernment. Though declining to admit
that this is contemplating an evacua
tion, General Orozco said he did not
wish to submit the city to the orgies
o f a fanatical mob.
Officials at rebel headquarters are
reticent as to their plans, but the in
tention to send an emissary to General
Huerta to negotiate for the possible
abandonment o f Chihuahua is taken to
mean, in connection with other symp
toms o f disorganization here, that the
Mexican revolution w ill pass in a few
days from an organized revolt against
the Madero government into guerilla
warfare, uncontrolled and irrespons
ible.
The garrison at Juarez may be the
first to evacuate and begin guerilla
tactics.
It is virtually certain that there w ill
be no big battle at Bachimba, 46
miles south o f here, as has been ex
pected.
The rebels may put up a
lively fight fo r a brief interval in or
der to hold the federals back, but an
orderly retreat is really being planned,
together with the destruction o f every
bridge and culvert between Bachimba
and Chihuahua, further to delay the
government advance.
Efforts to convert into cash gold
bullion confiscated within the last few
days indicates the desperate straits o f
the rebel army.
Discontent within
the ranks and at headquarters is also
apparent.
When
General Orozco
evacuates the city it is feared that
certain leaders w ill satisfy grudges
and that the disgruntled element will
seek recourse in mob violence.
It is in anticipation o f this that
General Orozco wishes to leave 200 or
300 men and officers here with the un
derstanding that on the entry o f Gen
eral Huerta’ s federal forces, the gar
rison be allowed to depart with its
arms.
Significance attaches to the grant
ing o f honorable discharges to Sam
Drobin, o f Philadelpha; Tracy Rich
ardson, o f Lamar, Mo., and Jack Zim
merman, o f Pulaski, Pa., three Am er

W harf Collapses With Excursionists—
Many Drowned.
Buffalo, N. Y . — Between 15 and 20
persons were drowned, and a number
injured when a 50-foot wharf at Eagle
Park, Grand Island, N iagara river,
collapsed under the w eigh t o f 250 per
sons, precipitating them into 12 feet
o f water. Eight bodies were recover
ed, o f whom six were identified.
The excursionists were preparing to
return to Buffalo a fter an outing at
the park, and were on the wharf to
take the steamer when the under
pinning gave way.
The outing was
under the auspices o f the Court Am
herst lodge o f Odd Fellows, o f Black
Rock, and was for the benefit o f sick
brothers.
The party le ft Buffalo on the steam
er Koeber and the barge L ottie Koe-
ber in tow. The first news o f the ac
cident |reacned this city when Mrs.
Miller, w ife o f the proprietor o f a ho
tel at Eagle Park, telephoned.
The
telephone system failed shortly after.
F ix Brothers, owners of the excur
sion steamship line to which the boats
belonged, said that at least 200 per
sons were thrown into 'the water and
that eight bodies w ere recovered.
The boats had carried one load back to
Buffalo and were at the wharf taking
on the remainder when the accident
occurred.
The wharf is at the foot o f a high
embankment and its approach is by a
long flight o f stairs. The current at
this point, which is 12 miles above
Niagara Falls, is very sw ift.
Those
killed were residents o f Buffalo.
