FL Paso. Feb. 6.-The belief prevails in
Official circles tonight that General Pas
quail Orozco has abandoned. for the pres
ent at least his plans to attack Juarez.
This has relieved the tension which has
existed across the international border
for four days. but Mexican military and
civil officers have not abated their vigil
ance.
II was learned definitely tonight that
Pasouale Orozco, leader of the lnsurgent
forces, is at Rancheria. about fifteen
miles south Of Juarez. with his entire
command. What he intends to do is a
matter Of conjecture. One report says
that he intends to go south and attack
General Navarro's forces. marching from
chihuahua to relieve Juarez. and an
other SAYS that he intends to surprise
the city.
Although business in Juarez was part
ly resumed to-day, there is conslderaoie
nervousness among residents. on the
advice Of Colonel r. Garcia Martinez
Jefe Politico of Juarez. and Colonel T.
Tamborrel. Chief Of the Military. VINO
are now in command of the local situa-
ton. that the trouble in and around Jul
arez was at an end and that there was
no longer any danger to visitors TO that
city. the Jockey Club decided TO resume
racing tomorrow The meeting VIII run
out the 100 days. which will bring the
close around the first of April.
Two machine guns and a mountain
howitzer brought by Colonel Rabago
have been placed in position and manned
for the defence of Juarez.
The total casualties in Sundays fight
ing at Bauche. south Of Juarez. were hve
dead and twenty-nine wounded. The
federals lost three dead according TO
DR. I J. Bush Of the insurgent hospital
corps. who remained on the field when
the rebels left. The rebels lost two dead
and three wounded
The twenty-six federals wounded are
now in a Juarez hospital. Six Of them
are women, wives Of the federal soldiers.
Dr. Bush is chief surgeon of Orozco's
army, and arrived in Juarez to-day with
eleven other women and children who
had accompanied the federals from
Casas Grandes and were left when the
federals abandoned their train on Sun
day night after the insurgents had
marched away to the west. DR.. Bush
will rejoin the rebels.
Trains were sent out from Juarez over
both the Northwestern and Mexican
Central lines this afternoon to repair
bridges. Twenty-four bridges have been
destroyed by rebels south Of Juarez, as
far as Moctezuma. a distance Of IL
miles.
Alanis, with a force of between five
hundred and six hundred rebels, was re
ported twenty five miles east Of Juarez
last night. He had a sharp skirmlsh
with a band of one hundred federals last
night, the government forces retiring.
Alanis was expected To join Orozco IN
front Of Juarez before daybreak. and as
saut the city. but apparently the insur-
gents plans have been changed.
General Navarro's command Of seven
hundred men, which has been campaign
ing around Chihuahua City, is reported
making forced marches overland TO the
relief of the beleaguered city. Should
Navarro succeed in getting into Juarez
with his forces. the insurgents will have
their work cut out for them, for Ma
varro's men are veterans. seasoned by
hard campaigning. If Orozco had sue
ceeded Yesterday in holding Rabago's
forces nothing could have saved Juarez
