Americans Get Out Of Mexican City
When the Rebels Draw
Near.

[ United Press Leased Wire Service.]
EAGLE PASS, Texas. July IT,
Another exodus Of Americans from
Torreon is on today because Of q
threatened attack upon that city by
a force Of about 1000 rebels under
Chez Campos. A party OF refugees
arriving at the border early today
said that when they left Torreon last
night the rebels we're within six
miles OF the city. The federal garri-
son numbered only few hundred
men and the Americans believe the
rebels can easily take the town in
case they attack
The object OF the rebels is to de-
stroy the railroad and prevent Gen.
Huerta from communicating with the
south. The rebels are again becoming
active in the state OF Durango where
many small bands are operating. Con
ditions are growing worse throughout
fl1es region about Torreon despite
Huerta's victory over Orozco. The
rebels are disorganized, but hundreds
are riding over the country in small
bands robbing ranches and commit.
ting other depredations.
The greatest fear is entertained by
the people of Torreon that the rebels
will sack the city in case it falls into
their hands.

Cause of the Wreck.

limited Press Leased Wire Service. I
WASHINGTON. July 17.-Chief In
spector Belknap. of the interstate
commerce commission, who investiga-
ted the Ligonier, Pa. train disaster,
reported today the accident was caus-
ed either by the failure of. the dis
ratcher to deliver orders, or of the
conductor to understand or obey
them. The wreck occurred while a
combination passenger car was rum
ming ahead of the locomotive and
Belknap condemns this practice as
dangerous. He adds that the method
of train operation Oh the Ligonier
Valley railroad on which the wreck
occurred is extremely faulty. TWEEN
ty-seven people were killed and over
forty injured in the Ligonier wreck.
