States now fighting in the insurrecto
ranks number six hundred. The larg-
est force is with Captain Oscar G..
Creighton, who has been active in
blowing up railroad bridges. Govern
ment officials received orders yester-
day to put a stop to the crossing of
Americans from El Paso into the in
surgent territory.
Reports from the interior of the war
zone" are that the insurrectos are con-
centrating at various points Fran
cisco /. Madero, revolutionary leader,
with one thousand insurrectos, one
pound cannon, three-inch field piecs :
and tow rapid fire guns is somewhere
north of Casas Grandes and is drawing
toward General Orozoo with eight hun
dred men. The insurrecto forces were
scattered after their Casas Grandes
defeat and their inactivity for several
days was due to reorganization. The
general movement of the insurrectos
is northward, presumably toward
Juarez.

FIELDS M|NsTRELS SURPASS
ALL FORMER PRODUCTIONS

Vinita threatre goers, for the first
time, last night had an opportunity to
see Al. G. Fields Greater Minstrels.
and that Vinita appreciated this priv
ilege was evidenced by the fact that
every seat in the Auditorium was filled
and the S. R. o. sign was hung out
early
This minstrel was without an equal
on the Vinita stage and those who
failed to attend missed the greatest
Theatrical event of the season here
To attempt to pick out the better parts
of this minstrel would be impossible
for there was not number on the
program, but would have been feat
ure in itself. The singing, comedy
dancing, acrobaties, scenic effects and
all blended into one grand splendid
event, that will live long in the mem
ory Of all present.

FIRING ACROSSBORDERL|NE
CONSTITUTES A VIOLATION
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Mexicali, Mar. 16 = The United
States authorities at Calexico are in
vestigating the reports that the Mex
ican custom officials at Algodones yes
terday fired on the insurrectos from
the American side of the International
line. This, if proved, constitutes
grave violation of the neutrality laws
Washington, D. c., Mar. 16-Formal
notice of the action of the Mexican
congress in carrying out Diaz's recon-
mendation of the suspension of con-
stitutional guarantees, was received at
the Mexican embassy today. It is Civ
en- full publicity so that Americans,
who joint insurrectos, may know what
to expect. 1t is believed the action
will not apply to the Americans cap
tured before the promulgation. These
probably will be tried by civil proceed
ure.
Eagle Pass, Tex, Mar. 16.-Henry
Whittle was arrested across the Rio
Grande, in Ciudad Porfirio Diaz today,
charged with carrying messages be-
tween insurrectos in the United States
and Mexico. The Mexican authorities
will hold him seventy-two hours they
say. Relatives here say they will ap-
peal to Washington because the Amer
ican counsul, Ellsworth, declined to
intercede.
New York, Mar. 16.-The sudden de-
parture from New York of the Mexi-
can minister of finance, Limantour,
after week of conferences, is now
explained by the understanding that
he affected a tentative plank, by which
substantial reforms are to be worked
by the Mexican government and the
leading royolutionists, being satisfied,
are to aid in restoring peace. Liman-
tour, while here, conferred with the
father and brothers of the provisional
president, Madero Also many import.

the Mexican capital.

two OF the insurrectos. The rest es-
capped into the country.
All the Mexican soldiers in town
were called on duty A guard was
placed around the barracks and no
official information as to the extent of
the damage was given out 1t was
seen from adjacent streets, however,
that number of the barracks build
ings were wrecked.
The wounded insurrectos were pick
ed up by soldiers and carried away.
The Mexican officials denied that any
one had been killed, but would say
nothing further.
The town soon quieted down and the
people who had prepared to cross the
bridge returned.
1t has been known for several days
that insurrectos were within a few
miles south of Juarez, but they were
not in great numbers.
The town has had the aspect of a
city preparing for war Sandbags are
| piled up at the edges of the roofs of
houses to act as breastworks, people
have been forbidden to venture for be-
yond the environs and the rifle loop
holes, knocked in the walls of the old
mission, in the heart of the town, have
been kept open.
Assurance of the safety of all Amer

This following Burt's admission that
he had bought the stolen stamps from
John Callahan for fifty cents on the
dollars worth and that Callahan had
told him where the stamps had been
stolen. Burt says Callahan also told
him the description of Templeton and
Earl and that he (Burt) had his de-
tectives arrest the men. Burt attempt
ed to evade reply to the question of
immunity, but Judge Pollock forced
him to answer.
John Callahan was brought into
court late yesterday but his trial was
not begun. His attorney presented a
demurrer on the ground that he al

robbery committed in Sumner county

El Paso, Tex, Mar. 16.-An attempt
was made last night to blow up the
barracks at Juarez, Mexico. Two
heavy charges of nitro glycerine were
placed under the place and exploded,
tearing out parts of the buildings oc-
cupied by the Mexican troops. Two
of small band of insurrectos, who
secretly had entered the town, were
wounded and captured. A number of
Mexican cavalrymen are reported to
have been injured.
The shock of the explosion was felt
throughout Juarez and Immediately a
cry was raised that the insurrectos had
surrounded the place In great numbers
and were attacking. Merchants left
their stores and crowds prepared to
make general exodus to the Ameri-
can slider. Extra guards were placed
about the quarters of Colonel Tam
berelk, the commandant, and of Gen.
eral Navarro.
The barracks are occupied by the
Fourteenth Mexican cavalry and are
located in the heart of town. There
has been a general feeling that the in
surfectos were surrounding the city.
A small bond of insurreetos is sup
posed to have crept into the town along
the railroad TRACES shortly after 5
O'Clock. After placing the bombs, they
attempted to get away. Soldiers on
the lookout on top of the barracks i'm
mediately opened fire, bringing down
