false alarms OF appearing federals

New potatoes and fresh meat are at
a premium in the rebel camp. But
the insurrectos managed to procure

Rebel sympathlzers at Yuma sent
word to the insurgents today that
Navarro, who left Juarez several
days ago, was expected there tomor-

to the receipt of this message, the
rebels had numerous reports of fed
eral advancing from the eastward.
Trains on the Inter- California Rail-
way were run from Yuma as far as
Packard four miles south. where the
trestle was destroyed by the insur-
gents Thursday.
Every time the smoke of a loco
motive appeared on the horizon the
rebels made ready for action.
Captain Conrad 5. Babcoek, COM
manding the United States cavalry
stationed at Calexico informed Bert

not permit Calexico to he used as a

Mexicali, Mex. Feb. 1S.-Heart-
ened by their success against Gov
ernor Vega and warned by Captain
Babcock Of the United States army
that they cannot use Calexico as q
back stop for bullets In any future
fight, the Mexican insurrectos are pre-
pairing to take the offensive against
the federals.
General Simon Bcrthold, who ar
rived from Los Angeles last night,
said today that If the federal army
did not appear within the next day or
two he and General Leyva would di-
vide their force, one part proceeding
eastward to Sonora and the other
moving westward against Ensenda.
The insurgents have enough men
here now to permit their splitting up
into two detaehmcnts. Their only
trouble Is lack of arms. This is
expected to be remeded soon. as a
result OF Bertholds visit to Los
Angeles.
Another thing contributing to the
decision of the rebels to begin an
