The Democratic end OF the new

assumption and an analysis Of the

El Paso, Texas.-News by courier
was brought to Hachita, N NJ, Monday
that the rebel generals Pascual Orozco
and Inez Salazar have formed a func-
ton fifty miles below the border at
that point If this report is true the
rebel leader has escaped rom the trap
set by federals below Juarez and
passed through the Gordon of troops
strung along the railways.
The courier reported that the com.
bined forces of Orozco and Salazar
number about 900 men. They are Sc.
lecting the best horses, and killing all
animals they cannot use. The courier
came from the Nogales ranch, where
the rebels are operating near the
boundary of Chihuahua and Sonora.
1t is believed no federal force is in a
position to prevent Orozco's entrance
into the westward border state
through the San Luis pass.
1t appears certain that the rebels
will pass through Colonia Morelos and
neighborlng Mormon settlements in
the state of Sonora. Fearing this, a
courier was dispatched from Douglas,
Ariz., to warn the Americans of the
approach of the rebels.
