and viii march with them and fight with
them, he says. "An we want" Col.

San Luis POtOsi carried cut in full"

DR.. Francisco Vasques Gomez made

JAIL WIDE OPEN.
The Juarez jail Is standing wide
open, not a prisoner in IT. The mutt
neers are using the military barracks
for any prisoners they are holding.
There are no field pieces or artillery
of any kind in Juarez, so the mutineers
have only rifles, pistols and dynamite
bombs fer defending themselves in case
OF an attack, should they resist as tkey
threaten.
No street cars are operating between
Jdarez and Ell PasO and the Mexican
town is a. completely isolated from FL
PasO except by telephone connection, as
II 1t were on the map.
REFUGEES ARE HERE.
All the residents of JuareB have fled
to Ell PasO and many of the poorer
families are camping in the open eOun-
try along the river on the American
bank OF the Rio Grande. The weather
is sunshiny today, although there was
ice last night, and the campers suffered
considerably before day broke upon
them today.
The mutineers have established
guard at the Mexican ends OF the in
ternatlOnaI bridges and are refusing
permission to Americans TO cross IL.
-Four troops Of the Fourth United
States cavalry are guarding the Ameri-
can approaches of the bridges.
The mutineers are in absolute pos
session OF every public building in the
town and have destroyed many public
records bv fire.
REASONS FOR MUTINY.
Various reasons are given for the
mutiny. Some say they mutinied be-
cause some of their fellow soldiers had
been ordered diseharEedI some declare
they rebeIIed because 1IaderO has not
brought about the reforms he promised;
some say that PasquaI OrozcO, their
former chief and still the idol Of the
former rebels in northern Mexico, is
going TO join the Zapata cause and that
they are with him. None of them seem
10 know who they want for president.
but they all insist that "MaderO must
resign Cheers for Zapata are fewer
today than they were yesterday.
The general desire for loot Is looked
upon by many as about as plausible
reason for the mutiny as any.
NEGRO RELEASED AGAIN.

from Ell PasO to Juarez last week on
the charge of numbering Jesse Burt

The American troops are keeping a
rigid guard on the river and are not
