ter and the chill winds from the lake induced the managers of the wheel to heat the cars. The comedy of the Ferris wheel is the only amusing thing on the Exposition grounds. With only workmen on the Plaisance and not passenger in sight, the wheel continues to turn. The management is keeping up this show for the pur- pose, 1t is said, of making case for damages against the Exposition com- pany. Nothing is said about removing the wheel.
 DENVER, Nov. I7.-Late Thursday af- ternoon a dispatch reached headquar- ters of the department of Colorado here announcing successful raid of revolutionists and asking aid for the protection of American interests in that neighborhood. The telegram is from Colonel Bliss at Fort Bayard and is as follows:
 "Oyer one hundred Mexican revolu- tionists have taken possession of Paio mas and country south in old Mexico and have taken all horses and arms of Americans captured across the line. An American courier has just reached here asking for aid to be sent to pro- tect American interests at this side. What can you do?
 (Signed) w. H. DUKE"
 The officers at headquarters in Den yer were promptly notified and after some review of the situation two troops of cavalry were ordered to proceed from Fort Grant to the Mexican bord CT. Fort Grant is 130 miles from Dem- ing, after reaching there the troops will go by mule train to the Mexican border opposite Palomas. General McCooK anticipates no serious truble, but he will be prepared for any emer- gency.
 FL PAso, Nov. 1.-The Mexican government seems to be somewhat an- noyed, not to say alarmed, at the condi- tlon of affairs on the border. It IS reported that three companies of federal troops were ordered to Ascencion some three days ago. Two troops of cavalry came up from Chihuachua to San Jose Thursday morning and marched across the country toward PalOm8s. Their horses were sent up by a special freight train the day before, and ready for immediate use when the troops reached the station In addition, another com pany has been brought from Chichuahua to Juarez and this post IS now under command of the colonel of the 9th regi- ment of Chichuahua. Report has it that a heavy guard is nightly stationed around Juarez to the west, but that this IS true could not be ascertained yesterday.
 Early Thursday morning the Mex ican consul in this city, Hon. Jose Zayas, held a consultation with Dis trict Judge Buckler. at which the con- sul urged that an organization of sym- pathizers exists in this town and that they are making effective efforts to en- courage the revolutionists near the border. He thought that the author ities of this county should order the arrest of such persons in order to help keep the peace in the Mexican republic. Judge Buckler assured the consul that he was powerless to act, and that nothing could be done but by the federal authorities. The matter WIS formally laid before Judge Buckler by the presentation of the following paper which 1t is believed was inspired by
 
 the Diaz government:
 FL PAso, Texas, Nov. IT, 1893.
 Hon. c. N. Buckler.-Dear Sir: h. voklng the orders and dispositions that have been given on various oc- casions by the government at Wash ngton, for the purpose of better recommending to all the authorities on the frontier with Mexico, to strictly look out to impede by all possible means the organization of bands of marauders in American territory for the purpose of invading the territory of that republic, l respectfully call your attention that this consulate has learned from good authority, that only Thursday eight or ten Iersons of Mex ican origin went out of this city en route for Ysleta, Socorro, San Elizario and Cierra Blanca with a view of rais- ing and arming people and crossing to some point in Mexico, there to commit the same depredations that were com mitted lately at the Mexican custom house at Las Palomas.
 The details and some other facts that can assist you in the matter, am not able to present you now, but will in a day or two, when 1 expect to get them, but as it may be essentially urgent in order that you may make such orders as you may deem necessary, that you have notice of what is going on, have decided to scquaint you with the facts above stated and would request your honor that you order the authorities of Texas aforementioned to restrain all meetings, that may be held at any of the places aforementioned for the ob- ject aforesaid.
 I remain very respectfully,
 JOSE ZAYAS GUARNERoS.
 Since thIs paper was presented 1t has been learned that the consul has the names of a number of the supposed revolutiOnsts in this town. It is sad that one of the leaders is one Lopez, and that he left town Wednesday morning out of fear of being assassinat- ed. It IS certain that the Diaz govern ment has able and active agents who will keep the authorities posted as to the movements on this side.
 The dispatches from DemiDg yester- day led to the fear that Corralltos had fallen into the hands of Santana Perez and his band, but at this writing nothing has been heard to confirm the 6fer,
