COMIC OPERA
WAR CONTINUES
Soldiers Run When Fight Is I'm
minent-Rebels Still Threaten
to Attack Juarez.

Ell PASO, Tex, Feb. Sit was ex-
pected here this morning that the al
lied forces OF Orozco, Blanco, Delgado
and Alanis, which total about 500
men. would move against Juarez dur
ing the day.
So strong is this belief that FL Paso
today has a practical holiday, with
everybody gathered on the river front
and other points Of vantage.
The main body Of the insnrrectos
campel on the river bank only two
miles from Juarez last night after
having engaged In skirmish with
federal infantry for nearly an hour
late yesterday afternoon. The only
loss sustained in this skirmish was
about 250 cartridges. ..
Orozco says h ehas two pieces of
field artillery; that he wishes to
mount before moving against Juarez.
Whatever quest may be raised regard
ing Orozcos bravery, there is no gain
saying that he is willy proposition
and his appearance at the head of
$50 soldiers ON the banks of the Rio
Grande, yesterday afternoon, after IL
had been reported that he was moving
southwark to intercept federal rein
forcement took even the war cores
pondents by surprise.
The federal troops showed little
spirit in their reconnofter yesterday
afternoon, and most of them retired
within the city the moment the re-
bells began desultory fire. Several
of the cavalrymen had their mounts
shot from under them and they sour
ried into Juarez on foot. SO scared
that they out-distanced the mounted
soldiers. - ---
Intense excitement prevailed in
Juarez throughout the night.
Banks. business house and private
citizens hurried their yaluables across
the river to this city. Orozco will
find little loot should he take the

accelerated as much as 15 per cent.
though singularly without palpitation.
The aviat0rs said they had devel-
oped headache In their flights. Often
there was a tendency TO sleep. even
at critical moments oi the passage

blood pressure always increased. This
increase In pressure, says Monlinier,
