Ell PASO Texas, Feb. 6.--Refugees
who arrived here today from Chihua-
hua brought rumors circulated there
thet Francisco De La Barra, former
president Of Mexico, is to be recalled
from Europe and made acting presi-
dent The plan, according to these ru-
mors, is to have him take Madero's
place until after present rebelious
outbreaks have Been checked.
Every federal garrison in northern
Chihuahua Is ready to revolt against
the Madero government and proclaim
Emilio Gomez president OF the repub-
lie, according to information received
today. Local vazquitas who are in
communication with Emilio Campo,
rebel leader in the Galeana district,
say Campo has $500 men we'll armed
and ready to take the field. He has
already taken the towns of Galeana,
Elvalle, Palomas .Janos, Parson and
Casas Grandes. All are in northern
chihuahua
Campo has been recognized as die
tator In the district and without his
consent trains cannot be run to the
towns under the control OF rebel
troops.
The same persons brought word
that General Pascual Orozco was yes
4 terday Installed as governor of the
4 state of Chihuhua. This gives the
!. general virtual dictatorship over
the state and is expected to be the
forerunner of the adoption of severe
measures to check the Gomez revolu-
4 ton. The members of the Juarez gar
rison lrbo recently mutinied are act
ing as Orozcos body guard and will
assist him In quelling the rebellion.
! Although there is quiet at Chihua-
hua, many troops of armed men are
now between that city and Juarez.
i They are preparing to blockade the
/ railroads and lprevent the Madero
government sending any troops to or
from Juarez. At present, with the old
mutineers gone, Juarez is absolutely
unprotected and must fall before the
4 first force attempting to seize it.
