Ell. PASO. Texas, Feb. 11.-El Paso
is filled with more rumors tonight
than it was when General Pasal
Orozco was lying with his men just
outside Ciudad Juarez and expected
to attack 1t at any moment.
The only place in the whole district
which seems to keep it's head is big
gambling purpose over in Juarez and
there the croupier sings his drone and
rakes In the cash Just as II nothing
had happened and nothing wac ex-
pected to happen.
Things have been so long in hap
pening that every newspaper cor
pondent here has reached the stage
where "manana is the most used
word in his vocabulary.
The actual situation at late hour
tonight was this:
General Alanis with about 200 in-
surrectos is three miles south OF
Gnadeloupe. He was with Orozco yes
terday Orozco himself came into FL
Faso last night for brief visit with
the leaders of the revolutionary iunta,
so he cannot be very far across the
border. He has about five hundred
well armed men. the best in the rev
olutionary arm
Gen. Blanco, Orozco's chief rival
/ for command Of the entire insGrrecto
force in the north. who, according 10
the iunta, has 425 men. is about eigh-
teen miles south of Juarez where he
is waiting TO intercept Gen Navarro's
federal reinforcements.
Gen. Canyo, new revolutionary
leader, has one hundred men armed
/ with good 30-30 rifles and he too, is
awaiting Navarro
This afternoon, notwithstanding con-
trary stories. Col Martin Casillas,
one of Orozco's subordinates, rode
tired horse up to the .Junta headquai-
tiers.
Casillas told the United Press staff
correspondent that lie has 500 men
and that he defeated Federal General
! Roias command at Villa Ell Gallozea
three days ago and captured fifty
The insnrrectos. he declared, never
take prisoners If the captured men
look good. they are accepted as in
surgents; il they do not look good,
| they are simply turned loose.
/ While Casillas sat in the Junta
headquarters another husky individual
entered. He is Cen. Costula Herrera.
1 He was president OF the boilermakers
union at Chihuahua until he went on
+ the warpath with three hundred in
surrectos. His force is now in the
mountains, also wait ng for Navarro.
4 General Navarro and his reinforce
ments for the relief of Juarez is still
4 making steady progress northward
f The general belief here is that upon
Navarro's progress depends in large
measure the fate of reinforcements.
+ II Orozco can stop the federal adj
vance, or destroy Navarro. the r9volu-
lion will become very Formidable: II
Orozco falls, the rebellion will be dis
credited by many Mexicans.
The situation tonight appears TO
presage the most desperate and
i epochal battle OF the entire revolution
below Juarez before many days.
A newspaper reporter this evening
asked Provisional Governor Gonzales
if he had given up the idea OF captur-
ing ,Juarez.
When the day comes that we give
! UP taking Juarez. replied Gonzales,
we will all shoot ourselves
