baldis command of over 200 men is
northwest, In the vicinity of Orozco
hill, where the i~nsurrecto artillery Is
mounted and where the insurrecto
chief and his lieutenants have been
meeting.
The only danger to Ell Paso from rife
balls will be from the men at Bauche
If they should attack from the south
west. Bullets fired from that direc-
ton might fall into Ell Paso.
Insurrectos declare hat the com
mander In chief, however, will draw
all his men into the hills west and
northwest Of the city before attacking,
and that there will be no firing In the
direction of FL Paso. 1t is reported
to be the plan to shell the town with
artillery first and then to storm it.
Some of the men, it Is said, are to be
moved up close to the town ready for
the rush; then the artillery Is to fire
over their heads, and then the rush OF
infantry viii follow after the fedsrals
have been demoralized, II the plans Of
attack carry and the federals viii de
moralize.

dents Of Juarez that they may find

attack Is made upon the town. Should
there be danger to the consulate ar
rangements nave been made for tht
refugees to gather at the Immigration
station, where they will be permitted
to remain until after the trouble 1
over.
