Orozco.

Ell Paso, Feb. 6.-Out-generaled in
their efforts to prevent the entrance
into Juarez of Colonel Rabago and
three hundred federal troops from the
south, the Mexican reyoutionists un-
der Pasqual Orozco are reported this
ca, twenty-five miles south of Juarez,
| there to replenish their supplies of
ammunition and to await reinforce
ments. The members of the Insur-
recto Junta here declare that their
| forces ran out of food and water, but
will attack as soon as OrOzco receives
the expected reenforcements from
| Ojinaga and from the vicinity of Gale
ana and Casa Grandes. Alanis, with
an insurrecto force of between five
and six hundred men, was reported
| twenty-five miles ecst of Juarez last
night. But in the meantime, General
| Navarro's command of seven hundred
| federals, who have been campaign
ing around Chihuahua City, is report
ed to be making forced marches over
land to the relief of the beleaguered
city. Should Navarro succeed in get
| ting into Juarez, the insurrectos will
have their work cut out for them, for
| Navarro's men are veterans, seasoned
by hard campaigning. Indeed, the
Mexican officials are confident that
the city is now safe from assault and
that the campaign of the young revo'
lutionist leader will soon end in de-
feat and in the scattering of his fol-
lowers. At any rate, Juarez, it is
now believed. will not fall into the
hands of the revolutionists until some
prolonged and bloody fighting has en-
sued.

Aeroplanes to Watch Border.

by Mexican revolutionists of San Ig-
nacio, town opposite Fort Hancock,
Texas, is reported TO the state depart

dad Porfirio Diaz. The definite an

plane will be used in observation
work along the Rio Grande was made
by General Wood, chief of staff, today.
The troops are finding the mainten-
ance of neutrality difficult on account
of conflicting reports. The war de-
partment has accepted Robert Col
lier's offer of one of his new Wright
biplanes, which will be rushed from
New York to the Mexican border by
express and turned over to General
Hoyt. If the biplane proves of real
service it will be supplemented by at
least half dozen others. With that
number of machines soaring constant
ly over the crooked channel of the Rio
Grande and back into the country
where illegal expeditions may be or.
ganizing it is believed that the mill
tary will be able practically to estab-
lish an fmpenetrable patrol along
the border.
