AMERICAN TROOPS
MAY PROTECT JUAREZ.

Washington. Feb. 3.-The cabinet
Is now considering the question OF the
use of American troops to protect
American interests In Juarez.
The intimation that the revolution
lists, who are reported to be advanc-
ing on the town were prepared to
begin a bombardment at 3 o'clock this
iafternoon, has led the officials here
to consider the propriety of prevent
ing any such bombardment.
1t will be necessary to secure the
consent of the Mexican government to
crossing the Rio Grande by the Amer
lean forces and II this Is granted"
the activity of the troops VIII he
confined to maintaining order In
Juarez. protecting property there and
preventing any fighting within the
I town limits.
Justification for this movement 1t
is said, can be found in the action of
the navy In the case of Santo Do-
mingo and Honduras, where the ma
rines were landed. preventing fighting
| in the towns where there were a num-
ber Of non-combatants and large for
eign interests.
The question of permitting the
Mexican government troops to be
transported across to American terri
tory from Sonora to El Paso to repell
the advance of the rebel force is en-
tirely distinct as an international law
proposition from the first question.

NO BLOOD SPILLED IN MEXICO

policy of the United States should be
made known to the world, American
troops have been located along the
border from Brownsville, Texas, to
California. The Mexican government
has full confidence in the friendly ac-
ton of the United States.
The Mexican government has not
asked the United States to send troops
into Mexican territory. We will take
every precaution to protect foreign
interests at every point in the re-
public. 1t will not be necessary for
American soldiers to go across the
river to Ciudad, Juarez, and l am
very sure this will not be done"
Officials of the National Railways
of Mexico said the Mexican Central
from Juarez to Gallego, lao miles,
was still tied up. owing to the cutting
of telegraph wires, the burning OF
several bridges and the tearing up of
sections of track by revolutionists,
From Gallego south, the line Is oper-
ated as usual.
The Twenty ninth and Eighth ba-
tallions of infantry and a battery OF
mountain artillery left here last night
for the scene of disturbance.
1t is rumored here that Tapia, the
chief of the revolutionists in Vera
Cruz, had received 1000 rifles. An
official of the ministry of war, how
ever, ridiculed the report.

UNITED STATES SENDS
SMALL ARMY TO FRONTIER

Washington, Feb. 3.-The acute
revolutionary situation in Northern
Mexico today moved the American
government to hurry twelve addi-
tional troops OF cavalry to the from
tier TO preserve the neutrality of the
United States.
The American military forces will
prevent the movement of revolu-
tonary bands from this country into
Mexico, and also will prohibit de-
feated rebels with arms seeking ref
uge in the United States.
This action was based upon strong
representations from the Mexican
government that armed bands of rev.
olutionists have been entering Mexico
at isolated places along American
boundary. Furthermore, 1t is said,
the revolutionists have crossed the
Rio Grande from Mexico. entering the
United States to make their way un-
disturbed through American territory
and then re-entering Mexico.
The United States has assured
Mexico that every means will be
adopted to prevent violation of neu-
trail attitude on the part of the
AHleTlchHS.
orders for the despatch of troops
were issued by the war department
today. OF the twelve companies four
will be sent from the Preside, Cali
fornia; six from Fort Meade, s. d.
and two from Fort Wingate. n. M
This will make the total military
aligned along the frontier twenty-five
troops of cavalry, or about $500 men
In view of the critical situation al
Ciudad Juarez, across the line from
El .Paso, four troops of the addition
al cavalry forces will come to III
Paso.
1t Is understood that the Mexican
government is contemplating asking
the United States for permission 10
bring troops from Sonora, Mex, over
American territory into Ciudad Jua-
rez. The request has not taken defi-
mite form. but If II is made, it is
believed the theory will be advanced
by Mexico that the neutrality of the
United States will not be violated by
favorable action, as the belligerency
| of the revolutionists has not been rec
| ogniZed by this government.

O. Bursum here tonight. Mr.. Bur-
sums attention was called to the use

that his recent letter to Judge Mann
had been and is being used as proof
that he has recognized that gentle

what purported to be u record of the
recent meeting of the committee at
which new chairman was chosen.
In my opinion, II is within the power
of the county central committee OF

advices to the contrary, | had no
reason to believe that the proceedings
enclosed with the letter of Judge

JUARFZ IN HOURLY
EXPECTATION OF ATTACK

El Paso, Tex, Feb. 3.--At II
o'clock tonight Juarez is quiet and
dark. but with the knowledge that
an attack on the part of the insurrec-
tos is sure within the next twentyfour
hours. There is apprehension that
the attack Is coming tonight. but the
understanding of the rebel sympa-
thizers in this city is that it will come
early in the day tomorrow. The pro-
visional governor of Chihuahua, Abb
ram Gonzales, is perhaps the only
man in the city who knows the ex-
act hour. and he Is keeping the In
formation safely locked within his
own breast 1t is believed the city OF
JuareZ will put up but show of re-
sistance and before tomorrow night
will be in the hands of Orosco and
Blanco, who are so close tonight they

El Paso. Tex, Feb. 3.--That the in
surrectos are advancing on Juarez
and that they are only eleven miles
from the city at o'clock this eve-
ming is the news brought in by par
ty of four Americans who just re-
turned from the insurrectos in an au-
tomobile arriving in this city at 8
o'clock The command Is coming in
from the south, but 1t Is thought that
detachment has been sent on a de-
tour and win approach Juarez from
the west.
A messenger arrived from the in
surrectos late this afternoon, hav-
ing made detour of Juareg and
crossing into the United states at
some distance above the city. He
stated that sOrozco wished to have a
messenger sent from Eel Paso to the
American consul in Juarez warning
them to remove non-combatants as
they were coming in and that messen-
gers sent 10 the authorities at Juarez
had been intercepted and the people
not allowed to learn of the advance.
Bartoldo Orosco who has been held
in the Juarez Jail during the past
two weeks, because he Is an uncle of

by the federals to have been impli-
Gated in revolutionary plots, was re-
leased this afternoon by the officials
at Juarez and is now free man.

AMERICAN PASSENGERS WELL
TREATED BY INSuRRECTOS

Ell Paso, Tex, Feb. 3.-Thrown
in contact with Orosco during the
four days in which the Mexican Cen
tra trains were in the possession of
the insurrecto chief, Burton Smith a
well known author and playwright is
now in a position to give real infor-
nation as to the characteristics or
the man who has made and is stlif
continuing a determined fight against
the present administration In Mexico.
Smith was granted an audience with
Orosco in a stateroom aboard the
train and was authorized by him to
tell anything he had seen or heard
while with the command providing 1t
was told exactly as he heard ana saw
it.
According to Smiths story the
younger Orosco who shares the COM
mand equally with his father, is a
most remarkable man and displays
the fact In many ways. He Is said to
be most conservative and to hardly
ever utter an unnecessary word. When
asked question he will study Tor a
moment and then give answer in
short sharp sentences which ring
with confidence of his judgment.
At all times he is mixing freely
with the men but rarely talks unless
questioned. A Mauser rifle which he
carries, never leaves his hand and
when he sleeps II is with his fingern
clutching the stock of the gun. He
never hesitates to aid the men TO
perform any kind of work and Is al
ways present where there Is the most
danger.
when We first arrived at Moctc-
yuma last Monday" said Smith, I'VE
Were greatly surprised to hear shouts
of Viva Madero,' issuing from hun
dreds of throats. Many of the pas
sengers thought that the insurrectos
would open lire on the train but we
were soon assured that all was safe
when the men entered the coaches
and the officers were heard to cau-
tion them several times 20 be careful
and not shoot.
I'm the Pullman cars the lnsurrec-
tos unbuttoned the berth curtains,
striking matches each time SO as to
be able TO detect the nationality OF
the occupants. An assurance that the
occupant was an American WAS suf-
ficient to cause the men to pass on
after first fastening the curtains
again.
"Pascuel Orosco. the chief, accom-
panied the men through the entire
train, quieting the fears OF the pas
sengers and searching for govern
ment men whom he believed were
aboard. II was he who gave money
to Mexican women whose husbands
he retained when the train was final
ly. released and II was he who paid
for everything which was obtained
from small stores along the line"
