the American passenger whom one OF
the refugees declares he saw with q
refugees are expected to arrive IN Jua-
reZ late today on q work train They
viii include Francisco Familiar, the
train master, seriously wounded.
Since no bridges were burned, but
instead rails removed so as TO wreck
the train, it IS believed that the rebels
miStOOk it for the troop train bearing
the 23d infantry and I'll NinO,@ the
ships cannon. Since the big gun has
been pushed ahead Of the tram on its
first arrival at Juarez from Chihuahua
and its return to the state capital by
way of the North Western railway, the
prevented the use of the cannon
Some Of the refugees report that they
heard cannon shots below the wrecked
train and believe that it was the can
non Of the troop train They agree
that after leaving on the handcar they
saw smoke. and believe that the reAelS
had burned the passenger train One
Of the Mexicans had most Of his cloth
ing taken by the rebels.
The wrecked train was due in JuareZ
Tuesday night. The train which ar
rived in JuareZ today, backing up from

tanned some prominent railway and
government officials. They include Au-
relianO Gonzalez, secretary Of the state
Of Chihuahua. and A. Clark, general

OrOzeo Resumes Activity.
Gen. PascuaI Orozco. jr., rebel leader.
who has been in virtual retirement for
months. has resumed activity, accord
ing to reports reaching Juarez. and has
executed a coupe which practically pre-
vents the federals from sending troops
from Chihuahua north
Rebels supposed to be under Gen
Orozco have cut the Mexican Central
railway below Villa Ahumada, about
midway between JuareZ and the city of
Chihuahua This not only will post
pOne all further traffic on the federal
owned line below the border, but win
mored troop train which has been max
ing a circuit Of the railways between
the state capital and the border IN an
effort to keep. open the lines.
There is a small federal garri-
son at Villa Ahumada, but it has
been occupied by the rebels under
Gen. MarcelO Carraveo.. 1t is believed
that Orozco and Carraveo have formed
a junction, which viii form a force of
some 700 men. Gen. Inez Salazar. with
about 400 rebels, remains sparring with
federals defending Ascencion.
Troop Train Cut Off.
The entrance of OrOzco's force in the
district below JuaTeZ comes as a sur
prise to federal officials. who had in
sisted that he was hiding in the United
States and also increases the menace
to the small forces of government
troops scattered through the district
below the border at this point The
armored troop train, with 800 men OF
the 18th battalion and the ships can

burned bridges below Villa Ahumada,
and practically useless, as 1t carries
only infantry and artillery.
