Special to The Statesman
Ell PAso, Nov. 16.-There is today
considerable excitement though sup
pressed concerning the Mexican
trouble over the border. Three COM
panies of federal soldiers have been
sent from San Jose to Ascension and
Palomas and last night two troops of
cavalry came up from chihuahua to
San Jose and took the road this morn
ing for the same points
1t is said here, though the rumor
can not be verified, that the insurrec-
tionists have captured Carrolitos. III
this be true it means greatly added
strength to the cause of the rebels, as
there were large supplies of arms,
horses and cattle belonging to the
ranch and mines. Friends of the rev.
olutionists declare, too, that the as.
sistance of the Mexicans at Carrolitos,
some 500 strong, have been promised
on oath, so that the army is also
greatly enlarged.
The private secretary of the govern
or of Chihuahua has been in Juarez
for several days and the wires are kept
hot with cipner dispatches. What
their tenor Is no one knows, but there
are many evidences that the federal
government is restless at their appear
ances One of these evidences is the

Judge Buckler replied that he
had no power to do anything in the
premises, but that he would
notify the state government that the
rangers may be instructed. He told
the consul, however, that nothing
could be done save through the Wash
ington authorities.
Consul Zayos acted In the matter on
instructions from Mexico City. 1t is
said the revolutionist sympa-
thizers in this town are headed
by Lopez and that last night the agent
OF Diaz tried to assassinate him. At
any rate he left town before day. The
Juarez police shot a man last night
accused of being Tamachiam, but he
escaped, leaving trail OF blood.
