Washington, d. Ca Nov. 26.-The
twentieth infantry at Fort Douglas,
near Salt Lake City, Utah, is about to
be ordered to Ell Paso to patrol the
city and release the cavalry now
there, to patrol the international bor-
der outside the city limits. The de-
cision to dispatch the infantry was
reached today after a request for re-
Inducements from Brigadier General
Bliss, commanding the border forces.
General Bliss says there is uneasi-
ness in Ell Paso in consequence of the
renewal OF hostilities below Juarez.
He fears disorder in the event of an
other battle across the border. There
were no developments in the Mexican
situation at the state department.
Secretary Bryan had gone to speak in
Lynchburg, Va.
Rear Admiral Fletcher reported by
wireless today that only one oil well
at Tuxpam had been shut down and
that while threats had been made to
close down works for the "non-pay-
ment of assessments levied by the
rebels" none had been closed. No
pipe lines, storage tanks or oil wells
have been destroyed or injured. No
Americans or foreigners have been
killed, or threatened, the admiral re-
ported.
The Tuxpam district, Admiral Flet-
cher said, represents investments of
half million. hundred Americans
and twenty foreigners are employed
there.
Mexico Hears Little.
Mexico City. Nov. 26.--The visit of
John Lind, personal representative of
President Wilson. to Tampico, was
first learned of here through the AS
sociated Press dispatches from Wash
ifrston. 1t is regarded as indicating a
m,ie serious condition iii that region
than was generally thought here to be
the case. Owing to the close observa-
tion over the federal telegraph lines,
meager reports are reaching the fed
era. capital as to the state of affairs in
the provinces.
The reports issued by the govern
ment indicate that the Americans
feel little apprehension over the rebel
attacks on TuXpam. 1t was said at
the war Office today that troops on the
way to Tuxpam from Tampico would
be sufficient to control the situation
there.
Reports from along the railroad in
dicate that Tampico is the next place
likely to be menaced by the rebels.
News has reached here of a general
movement by the rebel forces toward
the port since General Aguilar the
rebel commander, demanded the sur
render of Tuxpam.
