Madero Foresees Trouble With United
States as Result of Trouble With
Mormon ColOnists-General
Campo Is Released

Washington, July 7.-Extreme agitation
exists among the American and other
foreign citizens along the line of the
Mexican Northwestern railroad as re-
suit of the retreat of the insurgent army
in that direction. No serious trouble
is expected, however, as long as the
United States adheres to it's present pol
icy of strict neutrality and the Mexican
armies confine themselves to command
ering necessary supplies and transpor-
tation.
1t is pointed out here that the peo-
pie In that section of Mexico are now
undergoing the same annoyances and
distress that was suffered for many weeks
by the foreign element in the state of
Chihuahua along the line of the Mex
lean Central railway. 1t is part of the
fortunes of war, and 50 long as Amer
lean citizens do not suffer actual violence
they must rest content with a knowl
edge that they will be amply repaid for
any pecuniary losses inflicted upon them
as a result of the rebellion.

worth of goods and robbed scores of for
eigners of horses and saddles. the rebels,
commanded by Gen. Antonio Rojas. COM
prising 1000 men. started westward to-
day through the state of Sonora for Quay
amas and Pacific coast points.
The troops headed for Dolores where
a mountain pass leads into the state of
Sonora. Their entrance will be opposed
by 1000 Maderista volunteers who are
reported to be awaiting the rebel inva-
sion.
Friction with Americans and foreign
ers here has been at the bursting point
for several days. Horses and supplies
were commandeered by the rebels, but
ordered returned by General Rojas only
to have rebel soldiers sneak into stables
and ride away with them against orders.
The soldiers protested that they needed
mounts and 500 of them will have to
travel afoot unless horses can be pro-
cured on the way.
Gen. Emilio Campo, who was impris-
oned by General Rojas, was released to-
day and started west with 800 followers.
The reason for the arrest is as yet I'M
explained, as Is the mysterious order for

veloped that General Rojas refused to
obey General Orozco's order to tear up

Indications are that Rojas is on an eX-

arrest by order of General Rojas, a split
among the rebel forces, the attitude Of
the Mormons in the path of the fleeing
revolutionists and pursuing federals en-
gagged the attention of official Mexico
today.
The arrest of Campo, who was, how
ever, subsequently released, furnished the
subject of endless speculation. A ma
jority view leaned to the theory that it
melted decided discomfort among the
revolutionary leaders. This was borne
out by an official dispatch to President
Madero from the field and made public
through the department of interior The
dispatch disclosed that the rebel forces
had split into two factions, one marching
under the banner of General Orozco and
the other intending to fight for ideas
of government as laid down by Vasquez
Gomez. Both are headed for the state
of Sonora. which fact today led General
Pena, minister of war, to reiterate
former declaration that all places through
which the rebels might gain admittance
to the state were guarded by federal
troops in sufficient numbers to assure
that inconceivable.

lists are Mexican citizens.
They are voluble in protesting allie
giances to the United States, runs the

the military protection which they claim
