New Railroad Agents.
Cen Orozco began the organiza ton

ment on Friday Of a number Of agents
I at points along the line. Agents have
/ not yet been named for Chihuahua or
I JuaTeZ. For the time being freight and

any bridges remaining intact be de-
/ stroyed so as TO make OrOzco's progress

I Iirmed. Col. Ponce said that so far as

The Maderista force, under command

VIII OrOzcO DeIayf
Chihuahua refugees are skeptical re-
garding OrozcO's intention to leave
for the south within a few days. In
/ the first place, they do not believe he
/ mas enough men under arms to enable
/ MIN to start out with sufficiently
I formidable force and at the same time
| leave garrison large enough to de-
: rend Chihuahua gainst attack BY villa
and Soto. Nor has he the necessary
railway equipment to carry a large
army, even il the bridges were not
down.
( 1t is thought that before starting for
/ Mexico City he must first annihilate
I Villa and Soto in order to prevent them
! from harrying his force by burning
! bridges and tearing up track. and there
in that it Will give the Maderistas
under Banquet time TO reach and

effectual block to his progress south
