HARVARD MAN IN
COMMAND OF
INSURRECTOS
Is Camped With Rebel Force
Near Juarez
HAS DESTROYED BRIDGES
Railroad Put Out of Commission and
No Relief Can Reach
City
HAS DESTROYED BRIDGES

lei Paso, Texas, March 14.-Cap-
tain Oscar G. Creighton, a Harvard
graduate, with a band of insurrectos,
many of whom are also Americans,
last night camped fifteen miles south
of Juarez. No fear is felt that the
insurrectos are planning an attack
on Juarez, where business continues
as usual Their presence is looked
upon as an effort to induce General
Navarro's 1000 men to take the
field
Creighton reached the vicinity Of
Juarez after a march from the south
Of about 100 miles along the Mexi-
can National railroad, leaving in his
wake a trail Of burning bridges. His
arrival near the border was specta-
cular, for after releasing rs other
Americans who had gone into Next
co to investigate a mine and who
had sought his protection, he waited
until dark TO announce his presence
by terrific explosion, which wreck
ed a bridge at Mesa, ten miles south
Of Juarez.. The destruction of the
bridge tied up the railroad. which
for a time had been open as far as
Candelaria. It also put an end to
the hope of sending relief by train to
Chihuahua
Coming upon the American mine
prospectors at Chicago, 100 miles
south on the Mexican National rail
road, Creighton informed them that
he intended to destroy what remain
ed of the railroad. If they wished to
reach I'll Paso, he would allow them
to precede him on two hand cars
The hand cars were put In action
but the Americans, fearing a posi-
bic attack, preferred to remain un.
der Creighton's protection. At one
town Creighton entered a station
and tore out the telegraph instru
ments, which long has been in dis
use because of the cutting of the
wires.
Here Creighton said, throwing
the telegraph keys to the miners
take these along for souvenirs"
When the party reached a point
near Juarez, Creighton told me min
ing men to proceed on foot. In case
they were mistaken by the Mexican
federal troops for insurgents ant
fred on, he would return the fire, he
said.
