Dan Stuart Insists That the Big
Mill Will Take Place.
so DOES CONSUL BUF0RD
Governor of chihuahua Is None Too En-
thusiastic About Preventing
the Meeting.

Ell Paso, Tex, Feb. 1I.-Consul Blu
ford, the American representative at
Ciudad de Juarez, thinks the Fitzsim-
monsMaher fight will take place.
Il believe the big fight will take
place" the consul said with an air of
conviction. mo, l shall not see it.
might were the conditions concerning
me here different l have received in
structions from Washington. They are
of course, secret and l am not at liberty
to talk. l am convinced, however, that
the fight will take place"
The impression prevails that Consul
Buford has information that makes
his declaration authentic, and his man
ner when he said the big mill will be
brought off conveys that he speaks by
the card
Miguel Ahumada, governor of Chi
huahua, arrived from the seat of gov
eminent of the state. He was accom-
panied by the gubernatorial guard of
so state troopers. The infantry from
the garrison met the governor at the
Mexican Central railway station and
acted as escort.
Through an interpreter he said THE
movements of Mexican troops, like
those of other military bodies, are not
announced to the public You will then
pardon me if 1 refrain from discussing
that matter. Personally, 1 do not care
about the fighters or what they do. 1
do not know but I should like to see
the fight but as an act of courtesy to
the American government 1 shall do
what 1 can to prevent an event which
&c oft to hol
within it's own confines"
Governor Ahumada will remain in
Juarez until after the next bullfghts,
which will be next Sunday. The hotels
are filling up and boarding houses are
overlooking. Incoming trains are ad-
ding to the crowds and others are on
the way.
CONFERENCE TO BE HELD.
Tomorrow morning Governor Ahuma-
da, United States Marshal Hall of New
Mexico and Adjutant General Mabrey
of Texas will hold a conference in Juar-
ez regarding the prizefight. Just what
will be done is not known, and the par
ties to the conference had not yet de-
cided on any plan of action. Early to-
morrow morning Governor Ahumada
will make a personal inspection of his

preparations for the fight in his state
SECRET is WELL KEPT.
The place of the fight is still a secret,
and no one will know until the spot is
reached. Seven additional Texan ran
gers reached here this morning, making
80 now under command of Adjutant
General Mabry. 1t is reported now that
the Mexican Rurales are gathering
across the river at Juarez. A number
of excursionists from New York and
other eastern points arrived this morn
ing and large numbers are reported on
the road.
The ministers of Ell Paso decided this
morning to open up foreign mission
against prize fights. They sent a body
across the river to Juarez to see Gov
ernor Ahumada and get him to take
active steps against the possible de-
signs of Dan Stuart to pull off the fight
on Mexican soil.
Stuart, however, remains confident
and declares the fights will surely come
off. There is no doubt that he will keep
his word as far as the big fight is con-
cerned, and the chances are very strong
that he will keep it as regards most, if
not all, of the lesser fights.
