the garrison is weak. There arc now
not more than 750 troops in Juarez.
Tha belief is expressed that Madero
had double purpose IN attacking
Chihuahua, that he meant TO take II.
but in the event that Ii was too
strongly garrisoned he would draw
all possible federal reinforccments
there and then make q hurried re-
turn to Juarez and get possession of

the railroad extending south OF here
TO Pearson and Casas Grandes was
repaired. He Is now south or Pear
son at MADEIRA. and It would be but
short ride TO Pearson, then an
overland trip by train of only a few
hours into Juarez. All troops have
been sent from Casas, between Juarez
and Pearson, to chihuahua, and the
large garrison drawn TO Juarex dur

drawn back to chihuahua by Ma
dero's presence near there, and
Juarez Is now almost unfortified. IL
has two field guns and some rapid
firers that II did not have when Or
osco was outside the city,
The belief that Madero Is heading
this way is heightened by the fact
that insurrectos who have been cross
ing the line of late have all remained
close to the border, none have gone
TO the interior TO Join the Maderista
array. Critova Mendoza and ignacic
