AUSTIN, Feb. Ex-Governor Col quitt of Texas sent telegram today to United States Senator Culberson in which he asserted to persist in the federal policy toward this state is an outrage" and urged efforts be made to have additional United States troops assigned to patrol duty on the MeXican-TeXas border
 If compelled to take the situation in hand l will do so vigorously" said the governor in the telegram.
 Definite action should be taken by the federal government for the protection given by garrisons of troops or the government, and should they advise us that nothing be done. let us look out for ourselves. We will not hesitate to protect our peo- pie even if advised by the federal government not to do SO"
 Colquitt advised Culberson the sit uation on the border is growing worse daily From all along the Rio Grande the governor declares frantic appeals are made for protection.
 FL PASO, Feb. 19-Northern Mex ico today awaited a settlement of the national dilemma General Antonio Rabago. commander of the. northern military zone, notified of General Huerta's claim to the presidency. re- mains neutral, ordering his officers merely to keep order. Governor Abram Gonzales of Chihuahua is re- ported to have resigned He is oIc of the organizers of the Madero re- volution.
 f hi ho situation is threatening Volunteer troops appear displeased with Huerta as provisional president -nd openly threaten to join the rebels at Juarez an attempt to disarm the volunteers failed
 Throughout the north irregular troops, offered by many eX-insur- recto chiefs, who assisted the Ma dero revolution nearly equal the force of regulars. Should these join the rebels. the regulars will be out numbered Regular troops are large ly in sympathy with Dia2 and are expected to accept without question the dictatorship Huerta until an election is held. An effort to obtain recognition from the northern reVo- lutionary forces in Huertas provi- sional cabinet, seems to have failed in it's effect.
 Colonel David De La Fuente, chief of staff to General Salazar of the rebel army, named as minister of communications on Huertas program. has already pledged himself to the revolution of Emilio Vasquez Gomez. now in the field with rebel forces below Juarez. Having accepted the position in the Vasquez Gomez cab inet it is not believed Fuente will accept the Mexico City offer. The appointment of Huerta to the cabinet was evidently made without the knowledge of his activity in the Gomez revolutionary plan. Gomez, | it is said. will likely be joined by
 Madero elements, including federal volunteers.
