GENERAL oRQZCDt
AND STAFF

washington, MAY 6:-Now that
the Mexican situation has again De-
come acute there is a strong possiDii-
ity that another division OF the
United states troops will be sent TO
the Texas frontier. There are only
1900 men on duty at present. and
this number will be swelled TO
10000. The farcical character OF
the peace negotiations between the
Mexican government and the fnsur-
gents and the protest OF Germany
have caused great uneasiness In
Washington. The Torreon district
is in the hands of the insurgents.
and they are threatening the city of
Torreon itself. Torreon is $50 miles
from Mexico City, and even the capt.
tai is threatened by an insurgent
army of $500 men. One OF the de-
mands of the insurgents Is that Cen
eraI Orozco be made a general in the
Mexican army. He and his staf are
shown in the accompanying cut.
