UNCLE SAM INTERESTED
DEPARTMENT WILL USE AIR
SHIPS IN INVESTIGATING
SITUATION.

El Paso.-The belief prevails. in Of
ficial circles that General Orozco has
abandoned, for the present at least.
his plans to attack Jusrez.
This has relieved the acute ten.
sion which has existed across the In
ternational border for the last four
days. but Mexican military and civil
officials have not abated their vigi-
lance.
1t Is reported that the revolution
has spread to the state of Sinaloa. OIL
the Gulf of California.
1t Is also reported the insurgents
have captured San Iquacio. town op-
posite Fort Hancock, Tex.
No definite knowledge is obtalnable
here as to the exact location of Oroz-
co.'s forces. Mexican officials are in
clined to credit the report that the
insurrecto chieftain has retired to
Samalayuca, his supply camp, to eff
feet his long-delayed juncture with
General Blanco's 700 troops.
Contradictory advices from the in
surrectos' junta here state that Oroz-
CO is camped ten miles west of
Juarez. within easy striking distance.
The same advices report that he has
been Joined by General Sanchez and
a considerable force.
As to his immediate plans of cam
paign, advices are equally conflicting.
One report says Orozco plans to go
south to meet General Navarro's fed
erai troops marching overland from
Chihuahua to the relief of Juarez. An
other states that Juarez is still the
objective point of Orozco and that he
is planning surprise attack.
Total casualties in Sundays figh.
ing at Bauche, south of Juarez. were
five dead and twenty-nine wounded.
Washington.-The capture by the
Mexican revolutlonists of San Ignacio,
town opposite Fort Hancock, Tex,
was reported to the State Department
in a telegram from the American COLI
sui at Ciudad Porfirio Diaz.
So far as an aeroplane can discover
General Hoyt, the commander of the
Department of Texas. will probably be
in a position soon to determine the
facts as to the activities of the insurg
ents along the Mexican border. At
present, owing to conflicting reports
and absurd and extravagant claims
made on the part of rival leaders and
their public mouthpieces, American
officers who are doing their best to
maintain the neutrality law in force
on the Mexican border find the task
difficult, and the troops are continu
ally making wild goose chases after
military expeditions reported to be
crossing the Rio Grande, which rarely
materialize.
General Wood. chief of staff. has
let it be known that at least one aero.
plane would be employed in observa
ton work along the Rio Grande.
The War Department has accepted
Robert Golfers offer of one of his new
Wright biplanes which is now in New
York. and this will be rushed to the
Mexican border by express and
turned over to General Hoyt. II this
biplane proves to be Of real service
1t will be supplemented by at least a
half dozen others.
