WASHINGTON HEARS
REVOLT is CAUSED
BY RESTLESS FEELING

Washington, Feb 1.-The revolt
of the Mexican troops at Juarez,
while not regarded as important in
itself, is considered here as indica-
tive of the general revival, outside
OF the Mexican capital, of feeling
of unrest that existed before the fall
OF the Diaz administration. The
state department and the depart
ment of justice were advised today
I that the trouble at Juarez grew out
of the refusal of some of the garrison
to submit to discharge from the mill
tary service which would involve
their return to the paths of peace.
Rurales Were Responsible.
Consul Edwards at Juarez reported
that the Federal rurales were re-
sponsibIe for the riot which followed
an order to disarm about 40 per cent
of the garrison.
The consul reports that the oc-
currence was marked by anti-Ameri-
can sentiment.
No doubt is entered that President
Madero will rush an additional force
of regular troops to Juarez to restore
order and protect American residents
there.

Ice 20 Feet High.
The Wabash has been gorged
above Mt. Carmel for several weeks
and recently Lighthouse keeper
Lindsay reported the condition. He
declares that the ice is in a solid
wall 20 feet high.
The result of the gorge has been
| the causing of the Wabash to over
| flow it's banks above. This water
has found way across the Wabash
| bottoms and is now runnig into the
White river and thus getting around
the gorge.

go out bodily It may cause serious
damage TO the dam and then SWEEP
