FL PAso. Tex, Feb 9The manage
ment Of the information aviators was
informed this afternoon that the Mexican
officials would fire on the iators II they
crossed the Mexican line in their flights.
The ri Paso committee having the affair
in charge at once conferred with Mexi-
can Consul Antonio V Lomel and he said
thai he did not believe such orders had
been issued but would see
Consul Lomell told the committee that
he would have the matter remedied as
soon as possible and that he was sure the
orders were issued through a misunder-
standing
Col. John L. Glenn. Chief Quartermaster
of the Department of Texas, who went
To Juarez and saw the Mexican military
commander and explained that the avia-
tion exhibit did not have any connection
with the present warfare" on the bor-
der, but was merely an exhibition, and
Col. Tambourel, the Juarez commandant,
said he had no intention of firing on tho
flying men.
The information that the aviators would
be fired on was delivered 20 Manager
Young Ivy John NJ Romangay. French
ViceC Consul in III Paso. The information
came to him. he says. in an unofficial way
1nsurrectos advancing on Juarez from
the south battled with Federal troops east
of Juarez on Wednesday night and there
have been a few small fights south OF Jua-
req along the Mexican national lines
Sixteen men were wounded in a battle
fought Wednesday night on Mexican ter
ritory directly opposite Fort Hancock
fifty miles below FL Paso on the Texas
sida Of the river.
The report that the fight took place
was sent TO Fort Bliss this morning by the
officer commanding the troops Of cavalry
which reached Fort Hancock and threw
out pickets this morning. Some Of the
men wounded in the fight escaped to the
Texas side Of the river and were then
taken in custody by the Federal troops.
No details Of the fighting have been Sc
cured. but II is understood. according to
official reports. that an official Of the
Department of Justice visited the sceno
OF the fight this morning and came back
and reported sixteen wounded.
A report was received in Juarez this
morning that a number of fiscal qua rds
had been disarmed at Guadalupe. south
Of that place about forty five miles. This
is evidently the same fight referred TO by
the soldiers at Fort Hancock.
The report has been persistent since
Wednesday evening that Navarro had
been met by the insurrectos and that he
was fighting. One report had IL that his
train had been dynamited This was
completely disposed of. however. when
at l:i5 this afternoon the Mexican Central
work train arriv ed in Juarez.
The trainren brought the information
that they had been as far south as Lucero,
sixty eight miles south Of Juarez and had
made repairs to two destroyed bridges
all that had been blown up or burned in
that district. They did not see Navarro.
but section men reported that he was al
Ahumada. eighty-one miles south of here
still twentv-three miles south of where
the work crew stopped. These section
men said that Navarro had got as far
north as Ahumada and had apparently
stopped there.
This led the train crew % the belief
that Navarro is repairing the railroad
as he marches north and that he is thus
travelling slowly. The section men said
he had cavalry in 'he advance and they
thought he was bringing infantry IN the
train.
