fed all merchants that they will not

REBELS WILL GIVE
NOTICE OF INTENTION
OF JUAREZ ATTACKS

I'll Paso, Texas, Feb. 25.--Juarez
will not be attacked until proper
notice has been given, by the rebels,
to the foreigners residing in the
town, according to Emil Campo, in
command OF TOO men, encamped at
Bauche, IL miles south OF Juarez on
the Mexican Northwestern. He
made the statement at noon today,
in his camp, that he is awaiting the
arrival of colonels Salazer and Rojas,
with their troops, He declared that,
as soon as they arrive from the
South, if Juarez did not surrender,
the town would be taken, but care
would be exercised to attack from so
short position that El Paso would
not be hit by any bullets from rebel
guns.
1--WE shall advance from the river
and place our artillery there firing
parellel with Ell Paso," said Campo
Our best advice is that President
Madero will resign when Juarez sur
renders. II not we shall proceed
southwark, leaving large enough
detachment in to maintain order. :"

Arsmall number of infantrymen
and. a troop of cavalry wer sent to
the scene and were kept busy, for
some time, dispensing the crowds
which, however, offered no active re-
sistanee to the soldiers. The city Of
ficials gave back, to their parents,
most Of the children, who were
taken in charge yesterday morning
as they were being placed on train
for Philadelphia. The children
passed the night at the city poor
farm. The parents of these children

made, Tuesday or Wednesday, to

Of their program, night sessions soon
will be necessary for practically
nothing has been done with supply
measures. The appropriation bills
will require time for consideration
as the Democratic economy scheme
Is involved directly, The Republi-
can Senate leaders believe, If the
situation drags out beyond the con-
vention and nothing Is accomplished,
that the House will have to take the
lions share Of responsibility. The
results of these arguments, 1t Is pre-
dicted will tend to make both sides
