tess the reinTorcements of Alanias,

Failure of dynamite fuse to burn
saved Rabago's men from either be-
ing killed or captured.
According to government officers,
Rabago reached Juarez yesterday
with practically all his men, two ma
chine guns, rifles and ammunition.
Navarro's column is said to be
marching northward with about 700
men to aid Rabago. 1t is believed
here that Navarro viii reach Ju-
arez some time today
The revolutionists under General
Orozeo have captured most OF the
munitions which were destined by
Rabago for use in holding the city,
pending the arrival of Navarro,s
command, from Guerrero

soned veterans. who drove Orozeo
out of the Nevahro district. is far
more OF a menace to the rebels than
the troops now holding Juarez. III

of Oroczo's forces is hurryfng south
to ambush Neyahro.

ten miles from the. border of Texas,

race track in Juarez, in which city
many Americans have large interests.

their provisional government.
Not less than 500 Americans, many
of them New Yorkers, drove out to the
firing line in automobiles to see what
the Mexican civil war Is like. Some
of them were so venturesome as to as
cend the foothills OF the Juarez noun

lntrenehed. They were mere specta-
tors, not taking part In the conflict,
though there are American soldiers of
fortune with the insurrecto forces.
