Juarez, Mex, June II. Distinct
tension Is manifest here over the lat
est plan of the government to capture
this town and the city of Chihuahua
the only two important points now
proach of federal forces from DIN
aga and the east is not causing as
much apprehension as the advance OF
big columns of government troops
from the state of Sonora. 1t is now
obvious that fighting win occur close
to the American boundary within the
next few days. Just at the time the
campaign at Bachimba and Chihua-
hua Is hottest, General Jose de la
Luz Blanco will advance close
to the border OF New Mexico with
several hundred federais forming Il
junction, probably at Casas Grandes,
on the Mexico Northwestern, with
General Giuseppe Garibaldi.
The combined forces of 1000 men
will swoop down from the southwest
on Juarez, II Is anticipated, and ii
would not be surprising If the eastern
wing were simultaneously assaulted
by the divisions coming from Ojinaga
under General Sanjines, who con-
ferred with the Mexican consul In El
Paso today. That American officials
are expecting an engagement here is
indicated by correspondence made
public today between Col, r.. u. Steev-
ers, commander of the department of
Texas, ana Pascual Orozco. ST., faith
