Preside, Texas, Dec. 10.-For as
far as the eye could reach there
stretched over the desert south of
Ojinaga, Mexico, opposite Preside,
the struggling end of the Mexican
army and the civilians who fled from
chihuahua to safety on the United
States border. 1t was expected the
refugees would continue to arrive at
Ojinaga all day. A few who reached
the American side said the exodus
included more than 1000.
The federal troops, including the
most important federal generals in
the north, continued in their work of
fortifying the village. This, taken
with the fact that Gen. Ynez Salazar
Immediately on his arrival commune
Gated with Mexico city, indicated that
the federals intended to make de-
fense on the border, at least until
they could receive orders from the
Huerta government.
Food supplies, of which the fed
erals were in great need, will be sent
across the river, but the United States
troops have been instructed to guard
closely against any infraction of the
neutrality laws.
The civilians who endured the hard
ships Of the eight-day march from
Chihuahua, mostly on foot, rather
than face the invasion Of Chihuahua
city by the rebels, are to be allowed
to cross. They will be taken fifty
miles by automobiles and wagons to
Maria, thence to Ell Paso and other
cities.
The story brought by the refugees
was that they left Chihuahua on three
trains, hoping to cover the distance
to Falomir, the end of the uncomplet-
ed railroad, about a third Of the way
across the desert, but that a short
distance out of the city the first train
was wrecked. All then had to start
the journey on foot, the federals first
dynamiting the engines and burning
more than 100 cars to prevent their
falling into the hands of the rebels.
