 FL PASO. March 9.-If Gen. OroZco' chief of the rebels in Mexico, fulfils his promise of ordering Gen. Antonio Roias commander of the Juarez gar rison. to join in the southern cam paign. it is asserted generally that he will have the gratitude of most of the Juarez business men. many of whom are Americans with interests on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande. Rojas' latest exploit of calmly footing the Juarez branch of the Mexican National bank has great ly increased the resentment on both sides of the river.
 According to the most accurate versions obtainable of the various de- tails of the story, Rojas. when placed in command at Juarez. instructed the manager of the branch bank. F.. Fer nandeZ Alonzo. not to move any money from the bank. Most of the valuables had already been spirited away. but more remained than Senor AIonzo cared to contribute" Gen. Salazar had scarcely left for the south last Sunday. leaving Gen. Rojas | in charge. when the report was com | mon that the bank would be robbed. Finally. Rojas unbent sufficiently to place a guard around the bank, but despite this guard the work of open | ing the main vault began Thursday and was completed last night.
 Wednesday Rojas was engaged in holding a court martial to discover the culprit or culprits who started
 the reports that the bank would be
 robbed. It was said today that last | night a well known American saw | him counting the money taken from | the vault According to Senor Alon- 70, the booty aggregated 20,00O pesos, | which is equal to about S1O.OO0 m
 United States gold To some inter | viewers he said he knew nothing of any robbery To others he said the funds belonged to the government
 and that he is the proper custodian
 After the work at the bank had
 been completed by means of crow bars and nitroglycerin, Senor Alonzo' Juarez house was robbed. The man. | ager came to Fl PasO. where he dis patched a telegram to the Spanisf minister in Mexico City, protesting against the outrage.
