Francisco /. Madero has profaned the
banner Of Mexico with the scurrlllous hah1
of the Yankee. and the American capltal
has backed him up in his revolutionar!
movements.
1t is generally believed here the move

can intervention.

from The Tribune Bureau.1
Washington, Teb. 23.-Rumors that
General orozco, military Governor Of the
State of Chihuahua, had turned against
the federal government and was leading
1,5O0 armed men toward Juarez, and
complaints made to the Secretary of War
and members Of Congress by delega-
ton of prominent citizens of FL Paso, de-
manding protection for their lives and
property, led to conferences at the White
House tonight between the President
and Secretary Stimson and Acting Sec
retary Wilson.
Although the rumors of Orozco's move
reaching the State Department seem 10
indicate that conditions are growing
worse throughout the republic. This, to
gether with the representations from ii
Paso, may lead the authorities to con-
slider whether the 1900 American sol
diers already on the border shall be aug
mented by the 5000 others in the De-
partment of Texas.
c. Z. Kelley, Mayor of FL Paso, and
delegation. Of citizens Of III Paso. Tex,
appealed to-day to the Secretary of War
to send American troops into Juarez, the
Mexican city opposite FL Paso. Seee-
Ia : Stimson replied that no such meas
nre could be adopted while American
lives and property on the Ell Paso' size
We're not actually in Jeopardy.
A Suburb Of eI Paso.
Mayor Kelley says that his city has
$4,000 inhabitants and that Juarez, sep
arated only by the Rio Grande. has
$4,000. Juarez, although in Mexico. is
really suburb or part OF FL Paso. he
stated. since 1000 people pass between
the two cities daily: Many residents of
Juarez do business in FL Paso.,
He declares that the political condi-
tions about Juarez has injured business
10 FL Paso heavily, that life and property
have been continually endangered since
the beginning of the Msdero revolution,
eighteen months ago. and that property
values have greatly deprecated as re-
suit Of the constant turmoil. 1t is neces-
sary, he asserts, not only for the safety
of unoffending Americans, but for the
protection OF business, that order be re-
stored In Juarez. He also complains that
Mexico IL infested with brigands, many
Of them crossing the border and preying
upon Americans and then escaping into
their own country.
The FL Paso delegation made vigor-
Gus protest TO Secretary Stimson and
also TO the Texas Congress delegation,
against the action OF the House in re-
ducing the cavalry strength of the army
by one third. They declared that had IL
not been for the cavalry there would
have been no living along the border
during tho last eighteen months, the sit
uation being such that infantry could
not have coped with II.
Generals Join Forces.
The official dispatch indicating that
General OTozco has gone over 20 the
rebels reads ss follows:s @

yrsT orozco will join the revolutionary
forces OF General Geronimo Traveno. and
has agreed to accept provisional Presi-
dency of Mexico"
The dispatch comes from a govern
'ment official on the border. not connect 4
ed with The State Department. No veri-
flcation OF his information had been re-
ceived at late hour Tonight from the
consular officers Of the United states In
Chihuahu2. 1886
THE revolutionary forces Of General
Trevino,' referred to i'm the dispatch, is
the first indication that the stanch old
federal general who stood by Diaz when
his reign was totterIng and was later
accepted by Madcro, he'd turned to the
II sUrrectionists.
The rather ambiguous wording OF the1
last sentence Of the dispatch regarding
the provisional Presidency was inter
