stroyed to check the advance OF troop
trains, and scouting parties sent out
to note the approach Of government

Warehouse Burned; Stores Robbed.
The Ketelsen and Degetau ware
house, which burned during the night
was set on fire when hooters stepped on
matches while taking their booty from
the store. The. loss 10 $25o,00o.
Several stores' weres robbed of practi-
cally all of their contents. All OF the
saloons were looted Of liquors and IN
many cases the safes were broken open
and the money taken. Many OF the
mutineers are frenzied from drink to-
day and indiscriminate shooting con-
tinues The mutineers have established
guard at the Mexican end Of the in-
ternational bridges and. are refusing
permission to Americans to cross. De-
tachments Of the Fourth U. S. cavalry
are guarding the American approaches
Of the bridges.
Various Reasons For Mutiny.
Various reasons are given for the
mutiny. Some say they mutinied be-
cause some of their fellow soldiers had
been ordered discharged; some de-
clared they rebelled because Madero
has not brought about the reforms he
promised: some say that Pasqual
Orozco, their former chief, and still the
idol of tle former rebels in northern
Mexico, is going to join the Zapata
cause and that they are with him.
None Of them seem to know whom they
want for president but they all insist
that "Madero must resign"
The trains due from the south over
the Mexico National line this morning
did not arrive, presumably being held
at Chihuahua.
The Juarez Jail is standing wide open;
not prisoner in 1t. The mutineers are
using the military barracks for any
prisoners they are holding.
There are no field pieces or artillery
Of any kind in Juarez so the mutineers
have only rifles, pistols and dynamite
bombs for defending themselves in case
Of an attack should they.resist as they
threatened. No damage has been done
to the racing plant of the Juarez
Jockey Club.
No street cars are operating be-
TWEEN Juarez and Ell Paso.

BY noon nearly all the residents of
Juarez had fled to Ell Paso and many
OF the poorer families aee camping In
the open country on the American
bank Of the Rio Grande. The weather
IL sunshiny today altho oehere was 4tce

siderably before daybreak. II
At $3.50 this mornings senblance
began to replace the f1oting which
came on the heels or tnesfevolt Of the
garrison at Juarez last night. Guards
were stationed to stop loosing particu-
larly of saloons. and drink inflamed
malcontents were placed under re-
.traint so far as possible. y.
Col. Edgar z. Steevef, with two
troops of the Fourth cavalry. patroled
the American side Of tho Rio Grande
