oRozco IN NO HURRY.
Will Net Abandon Juarez in Face of
Advancing Federals.

Juarez, Mexico. Aug. 2-General
Fasqual Orozco said. tonight. that he
was in no hurry to evaeuate this
city in the face of two advancing fed
eral armies and that he would remain
UP to the last moment SO that Juarez
would not be unprotected. He says
he is in communication with Gen. Sal
aZar. who IS at Casas Grandes with
more than 1000 rebels and that all is
quiet in that district. Salazar began
TIC destroy the Mexican Northwestern
Railway between Casas Grandes at a
point near MADEIRA. where the federal
army, under Gen. Rabago is mobiliz-
ing. This is done to delay a federal
train movement northward.
When the federals under Gen. Sam
jines approach from, West Salazar and
his forces will retreat back to Juarez,
join Orozco and proceed due south on
the Mexico Central Railroad. 1t is then
probable that the rebels will move
overland to the Guerrero district. west
of the city Of Chihuahua and east of
Modera, as its topography makes it
ideal for guerilla warfare.

battleships" pledge would remain away
from the caucus TO prevent quorum
If il developed the battleships advo-
Gates had strength sufficient to reverse
the original caucus decision. N
