States Marshal Foraker left this morn.
ing for Pelea, solthern New Mexico, |
to take nine men to Las Cruces for !
on charges of violation of /
neutrality laws. The men were caught !

Suspense in Juarez.
FL Paso, Feb. 9.-There was, ac-
cording to officials of the provisional !
government. The latter claim to
know the exact whereabout of Gener- !
al Blanco, but decline to make the
knowledge public. Orozco and Rab.
age, the latter commanding the fed.
eral forces in Jaurez, are busy today
sertengthening their positions. Oroz-
co in the hills opposite the Ell Paso
smelter, extended his line Of rifle pits, |
While the government soldiers placed
bags of sand on the house tops Of
Jaurez. The adobe buildings of Mex
leo are natural fortifications, and ef-
feCtive against rifle bullets. The
houses are built exactly like an inver
ted strawberry box. The walls pro-
ject few feet above the flat roofs
the rain troughs perforating the walls
are flush with the roofs and serve eX,
cellently as loOp-holes for rifles. The
order against the use of cameras was
enforced against two Americans in
Juarez today. The guards removed
the films from their cameras and re,
turned the cene.oS With q warning.
It's All Off With Orozco.
Washington, Feb. 9.-Thomas Ed,
wards, American consul at Juarez, re-
ported to the state department yes
terday, that unless the Mexican insur
rectos took the city within a few
hours, they will have to give up the
attempt, as their position afforded
them no chance Of substance. The
revolutionist soldiers are fleeing back
into the mountains for shelter The
railroads expect to resume traffic
within forty-eight hours.
Orozco in Full Retreat.
El Paso, Feb. 9.-Orozco is report
ed by the American officers to have
left his camp and is retreating south
toward old Casas Grandes where
Blanco with three hundred men is en-
camped. Orozco is not strong enough
to contest his way with Navarro, who
is said to be days march from
Juarez with eight hundred men. From
high insurrecto sources it is learned
that all thought of attacking Juarez
has been abandoned. The offensive
campaign Of the insurrectos apparent.
ly has failed, because Orozco's per.
5onal command consisted of only 800
stragglers.
Wounded in Hospital at Juarez.
Ell Paso, Texas, Feb. 9.-HOW true
is the saying of William Tecumseh
Sherman about war. 1t is evidenced
in the emergency hospital conducted
under the auspices of the Red Cross
inJuarez on the avenue named after
the great Mexican liberator. There
men, victims of the terrible horror of
nations, lie on cots, in great agony.
One man, who is well along in
years, lies groaning night and day. He
is shot through the head His eyes
are swollen and blackened from the
wound he sustained in the fight last
Sunday. He is a federal soldier, one
of the many that occupy cots there.
Beside him is another man who
groans but seldom, yet who suffers
intense pain at times. He, too. is a
soldier, a private in the ranks of the
Mexican army. A steel bullet passed
through both of his thighs. He will
get well, but the man beside him, ah,
he is shot through the head, and
while the flesh may be strong, yet
the brain cannot stand the tension
long, His days are numbered.
Who Hears the News.
Then there is another. A friend is
reading him the latest news from a
Mexican paper, which in its every is
sue says that the revolution is at all
end. What sarcasm must this seem
to a man who lies Writhing in pain on
a cot which the good people of Juare2
have made for him
Shot Many Times With One Bullet.
| Then there is another victim Of tbs
terrible fire from the guns of the
sharpshooting rebels who poured the
deadly fire into the ranks of the fed
eral soldiery. He had his gun to hi:
shoulder, preparing to send a leader
messenger of death to the opposinl
side, when suddenly his gun was tori
from his grasp and he fell on the bat
tlefield with a groan. A bullet hat
entered his left forearm, come ou
through the top, entered the uppe
muscles of the arm and making it
