Ell PASO Tex. February "a. = In
formation received here today proves the
advance OF Vaszuesita rebels on Juarez
has begun.
1t is said rebel troop train has ar
rived at Bauche. on the Northwestern
line. fourteen miles below Juarez
Troops were detrained and the cars sent
back for more soldiers. Wires on the
line are down.
+. The reported arrival of the rebels at
Bauche was confirmed when railroad Of
ficials in Juarez received a demand to
send out three cars of water. They
complied.
The rebels will make a demand. it is
said, for the towns surrender. 1t is
believed there will be no resistance. An
anti-American proclamation was issued
today from the same printing Office that
issued the Trevino-Orozco manifesto last
night. United States and FL Paso officials
are preparing TO raid the plant.
Denial by Gen. Trevino.
MEXICO CITY, February 24.-Geronimo
Irevino. in a message from Monterey to
the Associated Press today, denied he was
affiliated with the rebels. and stated he
would remain loyal to the Madero govern
ment. The message follows:
Il have not accepted, and l will not
accept, any public Office not rendered to
me by the national government. / am
an honorable soldier and loyalty always
viii be the guide of my acts l shall
defend the established government until
peace is restored or | shall go down with
u IN accord with my convictions of my
duty
This message came soon after President
Madero again had insisted that Gems
Trevino and Pascual Urozco were loyal
ITO the government.
President Madero denied that any large
fCdy of rebels was marching in any EAR
t-cular direction. The president said his
observations were based on official ad-
Nices received from army men. including
urozco, with whom he said he was In

Tnere is little doubt here but that the
manifesto issued at III Paso, and whose
autEor says II was written at the insti-
sat.on OF the eientiiicos. lacked the au-
thorizaticn of Trevino and probably that
OF OioZco. There are few men in the
car ltal. either of the old regime or of the
rev. who believe the group o. capitalists
known as cientificos had anything to do
with the plan announced by the former
consul, ConZalo c. Enrilo.
Would Hurt Business.
II is suggested that the old capitalistic
group set too much store by material
progress to foster anything that would
injure business or to reduce further the
credit of Their country. Their motto now,
/ at any rate, appears to be Peace and
lrs.ness ale synonymous
Those who doubt Enrile's word point
to what might well be a logical result
of his action. the creation of another
