They will have some inspiring practice

Every man will report to the medical

Cavalry Regiment
To Be Encamped At
Ell PaSo Tomorrow

ELPASO. Tex. March 1.-THE first
of the additional troops for FL Paso
will arrive here today to protect the
American border BY tomorrow morn
ing there will be a full regiment of
cavalry here in addition to the usual
battalion of infantry and all will be
engaged in border guard duty. The
cavalry is the fourth regiment from
North Dakota and thereabouts.
With martial law now declared in
the republic of Mexico as a result of
the desperate straits of President
Diaz. the fight is expected to be furi-
Gus for some time to come through
out Mexico. The insurrectos are en-
ragged at the declaration of martial
law, although they had expected 1t
for a long time and declared it was
only withheld by DiaZ because he did
not dare proclaim to the world that
there was war in Mexico. Now
that the troops have been ordered
out by the United States, he hesitateS
no longer, for nobody is giving any
crndence to the Mexican denials of
the existence of revolution.
That the insurrectos and federals
will fight when pressed to it. is DEM
onstrated by the severe losses on
both sides in the battle of Casas
Grandes, on Monday, details of which
only came through last night The
slaughter was terrible and most of
the American legion was killed, but

CRUISER SAILS WITH
ALL LONG TERN MEN
Des Moines Ordered to Key
West With 100 Tons of
Ammunition.

BOSTON, March 1.-THE cruiser
Des Moines. the first ship to leave
this port for Southern waters, sailed
from the Charlestown navy yard at
6 o'clock this morning. Commander
John c. Leonard. in charge of the
vessel, is directed by orders from
the Navy Department at Washington
to proceed to Tompkinsville, n. Y, TO
take aboard ammunition and sup
plies, and to proceed with all haste
to Key West, keeping in touch with
wireless stations of the Navy De-
'partment along the coast.
A lighter with 100 tons of ammu-
milton arrived at the navy yard late
last night from the naval magazine
at bingham, in tow of the tug Sioux.
The sailors had all the ammunition
aboard the Des Moines just previous
to the sailing this morning.
There are twenty-five officers and
265 men aboard the cruiser. The ship
is twenty-one men shy of full COM
plement.
That the officers of the ship are
of the belief that she will remain
in Southern waters for some time

when fifteen men, with three months
to serve, were transferred to the re-
ceiving ship Wabash and an equal
number of long term men assigned
to duty on the Des Moines.

the yard today or tomorrow for
Portsmouth navy yard to unload sup

Ban Put on Moving
Pictures Showing
Mexican Cruelties

LOS ANGELES. March 12.-District
Attorney John d. Frederick is authority
for the statement that rigid censorship
will be exercised over moving pictures
Of the Mexican revolution scenes. Many
of the film companies take all of their
pictures here, and two have been busy
at Glendale and the Santa Monica
canyon. places which afford excellent
scenery for war views. Through labor
agency they have engaged Mexicans as
actors.
1t is complained that scenes of cruelty
and horror have been worked into many
OF the films. Mr.. Fredericks takes the
position that the presentation of such
pictures might. cause trouble among
Mexicans in this country. The labor
agency has been requested to cease
supplying men, and It Is understood that
the practice will be stopped.

southern California contingent Of Ms1-
can insurrectos are announcing to the

cans, Indians, and Americans, pillaged

In the Second Precinct

More than sixty prisoners were
crowded into the cells of the Second
precinct. as the result of a clean
up" made by Captain Peck and his
roundsmen between $40 o'clock last
night and o'clock this morning.
Almost all OF the minor police
charges appear on the blotter today,
including excessive speed of auto
mobiles and motorcycles. assaults,
and disorderly cases which are dis
tinCtly in the majority.
Late in the evening, however, the
captain and his men were forced to
turn their attention from the street
loiterers and speeders, to visit SO
Fenton street. where they declare
they found Ruth Melontree rechisel-
ing the classic features of Christine
Hinton with the aid of a pocket
knife. Captain Peck declares that
Christine's features were distinctly
not improved by the addition of sun
dry cuts which necessitated about
fOrty-f1ve stitches.

HINT THAT hADERO
LEFT LEGION TOD|E
American Survivors Story of
Battle Leads to Charge
of DeSertion.

Ell PASo. Texas. March 12-Did
francisco Madero. with his Mexican in
surrectos, desert his foreign legion just
as soon as the bullets began to whistle
at Casas Grandes, and was II his fault
that the little body of fifty brave for
eigners was almost completely wiped
out of existence?
This is the question which is being
raised today, in view of the story of the
battle told by Roy Kelly, of Smithport,
Pa, the only survivor to reach here, and
from other less definite reports of the
battle.
Rightly or wrongly, the impression is
now given that when on last Monday at
Casas Grandes the foreign legion began
its heroic attack on that village, with
Madero and his main body OF troops
awaiting the result few miles away.
expedition of federals approached the
town, Medero hurried off with all his
forces, and did not even call off the for
etgn legion or try to help it retreat.
Story Leads to Charges.
Kelly does not directly make the
charge himself, but his story is respons-
ible for others making the charge. In
any event, the facts are absolutely clear
that the foreign legion composed largely
of American volunteers. bore the brunt
OF all the fighting at Casas Grandes and
suffered terrible losses, while the Mexi-
cans awaited developments.
The Killed in that battle. according to
kely's recollections, include Major
Giuseppe Garibaldi, commanding the
foreign legion, a famous soldier of for
tune and grandson of the Italian lib
orator; r. F. Harrington. captain of the
americans; John Greer, formerly of
Lincoln. n. H: Paul Madero, a brother
OF the rebel leader; George Moore, Ser
