Alleges Americans Have Been Re. crultlns for the Federal Army lntimates He May Not be Able
 to Restrain His Men.

f. ing that the revolutionary authorities may be unable to restrain the populace Tn It's indignation when it realizes tbe extent or the assistance being given the Mexican government in it's fight against the rebels, General Orozco and his fellow officers have protested fo Marion Letcher, consular representa tive of the United States. against inc attitude Of the American government Tn permitting Mexican authorities to recruit and equip soldiers north of the international boundary.
 The protest has been ordered pub- lished widely in both Spanish and Eng. ilsh. It is directed to Madero and the United States.
 After recital in detail of many in- stances in which the American au- thorities have aided the Madero goy- ernment. especially in permitting Consul Llorento at Fl paso, to recruit and equip men for the force com manded at Ojinaga by General San guinez and the failure of the author ities to turn back federals defeated at Guadalupe, when a few swan the river to safety, it is intimated that there exists between Madero and the government at Washington some agreement regarding a huge recom- pense.
 It IS suggested that possibly the American government has been prom ised by Madero some concession in the nature of land holdings.
 Baqk of all is the fact that the Amerlcan government has crippled seriously the rebels by it's stringent application of the laws preventing the importation of ammunition. The reb- els characterize the attitude as em- inentAy unfair.
 Madlero, lin the protest, is styled Taitof, and the American govern tnenAis accused of assuming an att st1 that is little short of inter- ventfon. Attention is called to the fact that heretofore the revolutionary authorities have given every guaran- tee of safety to foreigners. and es- pecially Americans, and such guaran- tees still are promised, but with res ervations.
 It is suggested that in some in- stances the populace might become SD incensed as to take revenge on Americans, and that in some cases the authorities might be unable to furnish restraint, in case the declara- tion is made that the revolutionary au- thorities will not consider themselves responsible.
 Issuance of the protest to the Amer i. san consul citing the alleged recruit Eng b. the Mexican consul at Fl Paso of soldiers for the federal cause as an instance of the supposed favorit-
 m of the ssnited States to the Mex
 government stirred the foreign
 ony to apprehension.
 s'he protest is a sequel to recent sti- American manifestations result
 from President Taft's proclama- kn forbidding the exportation of
 ns into the rebel zone. The lih-
 Us here claim they are fighting two
 vel nments-the United States as vi as Madero, and argue that they i. uld have checked the advance of Rae federals under General Huerta, .but for a scarcity of ammunition. Desperate efforts continue to be made
 
 Money conditions are unsettled and cash is needed by the liberals. Tho Banco Minero closed today This is the second bank to close within a week. the Bank of Sonora being the first Both institutions are said to be solvent, but without sufficient cur rency to continue business. To get money to continue the campaign a meeting of representative business men of Chihuahua was held at the request of the revolutionary officers here. A commission was appointed to study the problem.
 Four foreigners were present but refused to agree to contribution of a million pesos said to be desired by the liberals. Colonel Antonio Rojas, who was released last Saturday from the penitentiary here to allow him to lead his men in the field, arrived to- night from his headquarters at Santa Rosalia for commssary supplies. IL had been reported in El Paso that Rojas had bolted the revolutionary cause.
