WANT ORDER IN LOWER CALIFORNIA Madero Informed That the United States Is Tired
 of Anarchy

Juarez, Mex, June 2o.-That the United
 States is becoming tired of the shooting
 and other acts of anarchists on the Cali
 forna- Mexican border and that steps
 must be taken at once to stop it, is the
 burden of messages sent to the Mexican
 war department today by Gen. Benjamin
 Viljoen, military adviser to Francisco ].
 Madero. General Viljoen expressed the
 fear that the Washington government
 may withdraw its offer to allow Mexican troops to travel through the United States
 to Lower California unless the privilege
 is promptly taken advantage of
 General Viljoen bases his advice to
 Mexico City on many complaints Of resi-
 dents of California, who threaten to take
 measures of their own. One complaint received today from Los Angeles, Cal,
 which typifies many others, follows: Since June 1 no authentic informa- ton has come to us as to whether or not YOU intend to restore order In low CT California. The situation there is
 growing worse, and the people are
 contmeplating the gathering of suffi- cient force to run the anarchists out of the country. The need is so great that the ruin that might follow the dynamiting of the main imperial valley canal is so far reaching and appalling that we feel like doing everything pos sible to restore order.'
 1 General viljoen today telegraphed
 Madero as follows:
 | "The people of the United States are growing impatinet of the lower Call fornia affair and appeal to us to take
 energetic steps. Fear Washington will withdraw its offer to allow us to take troops and ammunition through that country unless we act promptly"

 surrectos and General Escudero was to have taken 1000 federals from Chihuahua. We were to have gone to Calexico, Cali fornia, unarmed and after detrainng there, we were to arm and march across the border into Mexical, Lower Califor- mia, but the insurrectos have shown no disposition to move and the federal troops are still being kept at Chihuahua. In answer to the complaints from Califor-
 mia, I can only say that it is up to Ma dero' en Passengers arriving from Chihuahua tonight say the condition in that city is becoming unbearable. Five thousand federal troops with thirteen generals, in- cluding Villar, Liz Rabago and Luque, are patroling the city night and day and have notified the insurrectos the peace agreement did not provide for the sur render of the city.

 to lay down arms and he will soon enter
 the city by force if necessary. The pas l sengers' from Chihuhua say a conflict ol
 some kind is not unlocked for and Orozce
 is deterred from entering only by the fac | that the federals have superior number, and. defenses. Fear that Orozco nigh not be able to control his men if they en tered the city Is said to be one of tn, positions taken by the federals.
