/ San Francisco, Calf, April 27.-
The United States Army transport
/ Buford, which received orders from
/ Washington yesterday to sail TO ports
on the west coast of Mexico and take
aboard American refugees, will leave
! port here Monday noon. This date
was decided upon by army officials to-
! day as the earliest possible moment
at which the ship could be put in
readiness.
The Buford was sent to dry dock to-
dag and the work of fitting the trans
port for the voyage is being rushed by
an emergency crew of mechanicians.
Captain Frank E. Healey will be in
command and the ship will carry a
/ full quota of doctors and nurses. 1t
! has been decided to take a number
OF women nurses, if this plan is sane
toned by Washington, on account of
the certainty that a large number of
the refugees are women and children.

ported to the local magistrate" he
wrote: THE magistrate will go
through all the form of getting
description of the marauders, file COM
plants against them, report it to the
next town and go through all the red

Federal Troops Desert.
Jimenez, Mexico, April 27.-Fifty

the forces at Parral tomorrow.
General Salazar with the last train
load of troops will leave for Escalon
this evening, from which point he will
direct the campaign south. In the

decisive engagement for week or
ten days.
