The oncoming insurrectos will join
their chief, Pascual Orozco, who with
about 500 men remains here. Salazar's
arrival at Juarez would combine prac-
tically all of he rebels operating in
Chihuahua, and the next problem
would be to proceed successfully into
Sonora, the border state to the west,
where other rebel groups are operat-
ing. On account of the scarcity of wa

international line is almost impossible.

company at Pearson would be burned
