Reliable reports give the constitutionalist wounded at Nacozari as only i iuiie. | Most of the fighting was at long, range. The rebels having no artillery j kept under cover to avoid the fire of two machine" guns used by the federal garrison.

POSTMASTERS FINISH Tf&M& _____ ? 9tot is awwfrfri *T XeiT Mead ! tie 9ep?tBie&k? Coasrres??8? te^xise?L "Washington, Marck If.?Perhaps ] tke most important decisio* reached 1?day by the new adTeinisuratios ia any of its department? -was the future I policy of the po#toffiee department! enunciated by Coaffraaaniaa Frank lark of Florida ant other? who tallad to discuss pottoflaa appotntiiaak ??m? am-1 ( pointers, regardless 01 how lunch longer their commissions might run, would not be disturbed to make place for democrats except in case of innr npelpft of dlltV. This announcement. made direct by j Postmaster General Burleson, came as a distinct shock to the democratic congressmen who have been laboring under the impression that there would at least be a gradual calling in of commissions held by Roosevelt and Taft appointees and that the vacancies so created would be at once ' filled by democrats. In plain words, this means, taking the South as an example, that at Richmond Postmaster Allen will serve out his term, at Savannah Postmaster Baker, who has almost four years to run. will remain: that at Columbia < G. H. Huggins, the incumbent, will not be disturbed; that at Jacksonville D. T. Gerow wiR remain in office until his term runs out, and that elsewhere throughout the country there will be< no summary ejectments in favor of the democrats. "while* thp dpmocratic congressmen! who received this information today were loath to criticise Mr. Burleson, the matter was seriously discussed. It was pointed out in case these men ?the present appointees?remain in and that the country should not again elect a Democratic president or the senate get back' into the hands of the reoublicans, so far as patronage. is concerned, the democrats would get very little from the postoffice department. To put it mildly, those who saw Mr. Burleson, in the interest of various constituents were amazed at the promulgation of such an order. They failed to understand why, for the sake of formulating a policy for the post-j office department, democrats all over the country should be kept waiting ' for the postoffices in their territory . to become vacant, for as long as four years in some instances.
