ary Is Also Doomed to
Fall Soon.

El Paso, Texas, Feb. 3.--With the
rebels advancing and the town COM
pletely hemmed in Ciudad Juarez,
Mexico, must fall when the rebels de-
mand its surrender as there are only
about 300 federal troops in Juarez to
defend the town, while reports indi-
cate that 500 to 1000 insurgents are
converging on the city. It is probable
that the attack if made will not come
until tomorrow, although part of the
rebel force is reported within eight
miles of Juarez. The revolutonists
declare that the messenger they sent
yesterday with notices to the foreign
consuls of their intention to attack
the town was captured and is now be-
ing held and another messenger will
come in under a white flag today
According to the rules Of war they
say, the attack must wait twelve
hours. This morning the mayor Of
Juarez ordered all business houses
closed and the American and other
flags at once put out by the foreign
residents. The races at the Juarez
track are declared off for today as the
managers feared that the city would
be attacked. They will be resumed
tomorrow if conditions warrant. Abra
ham Gonzales who. will be provisional
governor of Chihuahua, said today
that the insurgents in the Ijinaga dis
trict had captured the town of Coya-
me.
Tia Juana to Be Attacked.
| San Diego, Calf, Feb 3.-Thor-
oughly armed and with two wagons
carrying additional rifles and ammuni-
ton. one hundred and fifty Mexican
revolutionists said to be commanded
by an American left Tacarte yester-
day headed for Ocampo. They ex-
pccted to be within striking distance
Of Tia Juana across the line, soath OF
San Diego today. Marching west
ward, another force of about the same
plumber passed the night at Jacumba
some distance east. 1t is believed that
the two bodies will effect junction
That the Mexican officials expect an
attack on Tia Juana is shown by the
fact that $50 troops from Encenada
in command of Governor Celso Vega
gre on the way to the border town
making forced marches.
Brave Rebel Leader.
New York, Feb. 3-Gustave A. Ma
dero, younger brother of Francisco
Madero, leader in the Mexican revolu
ton. who is now in New York, de
clares that General PasQuale OrosisC
who is leading the revolutionist ad
vance on Juarez, is the youngest ant
bravest of General Madero's forces
General Orosiso has been the leadel
in three of the revolutionists' mos
spectacular achievements" added Ma
dero. Guerrero, Cerro Prieto, an(
Nal Paso." "He is only % years old
and never served in the army before
9 He is the son of small ranchmal
. outside of Chihuahua. Being brough
up on his fathers ranch, he had M
social position in particular, bu
learned to hit dime every time will
, a rifle at 200 yards. When my broth
er last summer, was touring Mexic
and making speeches, Orosiso becam
enthusiastic over his idea and ha
been the official leader of the revolt
/ tionary forces in Chihuahua eve
since"
Uncle Sam May Take Hand.
Washington, Feb. 3.-The Cabine
is now considering the question c
: the use of American troops to Pre-
/ tect American interests at Juare!
) The intimation that the revolutionist
q who are reported to be advancing o
= the town, were prepared to begi
bombardment at O'Clock this afte
noon, has led officials here to consi
er the propriety of preventing an
such bombardment. It will be nece
!. sary to secure the consent of II
Mexican government to the crossir
l. Of the Rio Grande by American force
" and if this is granted, the activity
vyi11 1Nn
Is ing order in Juarez, protecting pro
70 erty there and preventing any figt
ing within the town limits. The ju
s. tification for this movement is foul
ot in the action of the navy in the ca
e. of Santo Domingo and Hondur
where marines landed and prevents
fighting in towns where there are
number of non-combatants and lar
Z. foreign interests. The question of pt
mitting the Mexican governme
n troops to be transported across Am'
W ican territory from Sonora to
rs Paso to repel the advance of the rel
ce forces is entirely distinct as an int
ng national law proposition from t
ce first question.
Troops Rushed to FL Paso.
Washington, Feb. 9.-The Mexic
situation was considered by the ca
N. net today and as a result, eleven /;
ditional troops of cavalry have be
di- ordered to the frontier to preser
neutrality on the part of the Unit
