PHANTOM FEDERALS

Body Of % Comes to Ford to
Water Horses; Wear
Federal Uniforms.

FederaIs. dressed in regular federal
uniforms, are being seen again below
Ysleta on the Mexican side of the river,
according to the reports that have been
brought to FL Paso from the valley
town. \ troop of Is federals is said to
have come to the ford below Ysleta to
water their horses and to have been
seen by the soldiers on the American
side. Sergt. Gebhardt of company D,
22d infantry, is reported to have seen
the phantom federals. although Col
Steever has received no report OF any
federals in the vicinity of Juarez. Col.
Steever does not place any credence in
the reports, as he says that his officers
are instructed to report the presence
of any Mexican troops opposite the
American side of the river.
The fact that the supposed federals
are dressed in the regulaE>unifOrm does
not strengthen the report any, as there
are no uniformed federals in northern
Mexico at the present time, the Mex
lean officials say It is thought the
soldiers seen were scouts from the
Juarez or Guadalupe rebel garrison.
