sired to have the fre-boat sent down I'M
medately. Finally the boat was located
and sent to the scene, with an engine from

was discovered that instead of a ship being
on fire some coal in The buukers was burn

was determined to run the cars tomorrow,
and asking police protection. The men are

derstOOd an investigation will be made Of

can Railroad consigned to Las Angeles,

neighborhoOd had any use for such amount
Of soap. Suspicious are aroused, and it is
thought the car contained ammunition for
Garza'S men. The Mexican Government,
or parties conyerSant with the situation,
think developments of a startling nature
will soon transpire in the heart of the repub-
lie.

Ascension. Colonel SanglneZ, Jefe POlitico
of the district braves, and his private Sec
retary, arrived here from Juarez and imme-
dately left for Ascension. 1t is expected
that at POtomas. just across the border,
they will be joined by armed customs
guards.
A detachment Of 100trOops ordered across
the country from the city OF Chihuahua, is
moving by forced marches and may be
expected TO strike Ascension from the south
on Wednesday. The presence OF men with
Sanginez may have the effect of quieting
the disturbance, when Mexican officials say
is purely local in character, without polit-
ical significance. On the other hand, SYM
pathiZers here insist that Remijo Sais, who
leads the insurgents, is not only capable
man but large owner of property. who
cannot now afford to hesitate that much
discomfort prevails, and his original band of
eighty will be rapidly re-enforced and
swelled to the proportions Of an army.
