tricts south of here, today are re-
ported marching on Chihuahua.
Already the advance guards are en-
camped around the city. An armed
mob entered suburb, looted stores,
took all the horses, and despite the
presence of 1900 federal troops in
nearby barracks, escaped.
Santa Eulalia, an important mining
camp IL miles east, has been aban-
doned by all the municipal officials
because of the approach of insurrec-
tos. The place is now regulated

mines.

is now in greater fear than ever be-
cause of the extreme violence shown
by the insurrectos in their northward
march. The whole district embrac-
ing Durango, Torreon, and interme-
diate towns has been in a state ap-
preaching anarchy.

surrectos destroyed all the remaining

to be taken 225 miles overland by
automobile, to Ell Paso, Texas.
