Eel Paso, rexas.-News by courier
was brought to Hachita, N. NJ, Monday
that the rebel generals Pascual Orozco
and Inez Salazar have formed func-
ton fifty miles below the border at
that point. If this report is true the
rebel leader has escaped rom the trap
set by federals below Juarez and
passed through the Gordon of troops
strung along the railways.
The courier reported that the com
bined forces of Orozco and Salazar
number about 900 men. They are Sc
lecting the best horses, and killing all
animals they cannot use. The courier
came from the Nogales ranch, where
the rebels are operating near the
boundary of Chihuahua and Sonora.
1t is believed no federal force is in a
position to prevent Orozco's entrance
into the westward border state
through the San Luis pass.
1t appears certain that the rebels
will pass through Colonia Morelos and
neighboring Mormon settlements in
the state of Sonora. Fearing this, a
courier was dispatched from Douglas,
Ariz., to warn the Americans of the
approach of the rebels.

George Washington
Once Lived In Old
New York
Great Statesman and Patriot Had Resi-
dence There, and Citizens Today
Are Proud of the Fact


with the years 1889 and
u 1890, when Washington, as
first president Of the Unit
- ed States, was living in
New York city, is the orig
inal Trumbull portrait of him, painted
from life, the Oldest portrait owned
by the city, and now hanging in the
governors room of the New York city
hall.
Flippant young Manhattanites make
merry over the tiny watery blue eyes
and red nose of that dignified gentle
man and the enormous hand, which
rests on the wooden horse, carica-
ture Of the spirited war charger. In
the background Of the portrait Is
shown the old Kennedy house, now
No. 1 Broadway, where Washington
held his first hea6N uarters during the
earliest days of the Revolution. He
then removed to the Richmond Hill
mansion, at the corner of Varick and
Charlton streets, afterward the home
of Aaron Burr. 1t was during these
days that his troops drilled in the City
Hall park, then the Fields" or "Com-
MONS" and here on July 9, 1776, on
horseback, surrounded by patriotic
soldiers, the general listened to the
first public reading of the Declaration
of Independence in New York city;
for that one time New York was slow
er than Philadelphia.
After the disastrous defeat of the
Battle Of Long Island, August II, 1776,
Washington was forced to abandon
the city. During the Battle of Har-
lem Heights, September 16, and for
five weeks afterward the Jumel man
sion, in One Hundred and Sixtieth
street, near Amsterdam avenue, then
known as the Roger Morris house,
sheltered him. For seven years, until
1888, the British lion swished his
proud tail and roared through our
New York streets, but on November
25 Of that year General Washington
returned to his own. The previous
night the Van Cortlandt Manor house,
in Van Cortlandt park, opened it's hos
pitable doors to the victorious gen.
eral, and you may see the room he
occupied, the bed in which he slept.
He entered the city on Evacuation
day at the head of his ragged but tri-
umphant soldiers after Lord Howe
and his troops had sullenly departed.
Quaint little Frances tavern, at
Broad and Pearl streets, then came in
for it's share of the glory, for that
very night the patriots gave Wash
ington banquet, which ended with
the toast, May the remembrance Of
this day be lesson to princes"
Again, on December 4, farewell din
ner was given by Washington to his
officers In the Long ROOM" and here
