Chihuahua, Mex, May 29.-Intimat-
ing that the revolutionary authorities
may be unable to restrain the popu-
lace in it's indignation when it realizes
the extent of the assistance being Civ
en- the Mexican government in its
fight against the rebels, General Oroz-
co and his fellow officers have pro-
tested to Marion Letcher, consular rep
resentative of the United States, OF
the attitude of the American govern
ment in permitting Mexican authori-
ties to recruit and equip soldiers north
of the international boundary.
Madero Bought of U. S. Rebels
Charge.
The protest has been ordered pub
lished widely in both Spanish and
English. 1t is directed to Madero and
to the United States. After a recital
in detail of many instances in which
the American authorities have aided
the Madero government, especially in
permitting Consul Llorente at Ell Paso
to recruit and equip men for the COM
| mand at Ojinaga and the failure of the
authorities to turn back federals de-
feated at Guadalupe, when a few
swan the river to safety, it is init
mated that there exists between Ma
| dero and the government at Wash
| ington some agreement regarding d
! huge recompense.
U. S. Has Crippled Rebels.
1t suggested that possibly the Unit
ed States government has been prom
ised by Madero some concession in
the nature of landholdings. Back o:
all is the fact that the American gov
ernment has crippled seriously the
rebels by its stringent application OF
the laws preventing the importation
of ammunition. The rebels character.
ize the attitude as eminently unfair.
Madero in the protest is styled a
| traitor and the American government
| is accused of assuming an attitude that
i is little short of intervention. Atten,
tion is called to the fact that hereto.
fore rebel army authorities have given
| every guarantee of safety to foreign.
! ers and especially Americans, and
such guarantees are still promised but
with reservations
No Use to Till Soil.

been stopped temporarily on account
of the burning of bridge by group
of Maderistas near Santa Ysabel. The
last train over the bridge was fired up.
on but no one was injured. The Ma
Geristas in that section appear to have
no organization. They are persons
living in that part of the state who
| explain their espousal of the govern
ment's cause by the statement that
it is useless for them to continue in
their efforts to produce crops with
the revolution in progress. Most OF
the mines in that district will be closed
by the end of this week.
No Change in Field.
In the field there has been no ma
terial change in operations, the rebels
continuing their mobilization at Ba.
chimba, and the federals the repair
of bridges north of JineneZ.
Decline Responsibility.
1t is suggested that the populace
might become so incensed as to take
revenge on Americans and that in
some cases the authorities might be
unable to furnish restraint in which
case the declaration is made that rev.
olutionary authorities will not consid.
er themselves responsible.
Buford Makes Port.
San Diego, Calf, May 29-The
transport Buford arrived from the
West coast of Mexico today with 373
refugees aboard. Of this number
| forty-one will be landed here. There
is only one case of sickness aboard, an
American from Mazatlan. He is suf-
fering from typhoid fever, but conval
