death to Gringoes"
Is Cry in Ell Paso
BY Associated Press

Eagle Pass, Texas, April 22. -
Crowds marched through the streets
here to-day shouting Death to the
Gringoes," until the cry became a
chant in every street.
Excitement became intense and then
came the announcement that General
Guajardo was preparing to evacuate.
In a few minutes the rush for the
American side of the river began. The
volunteers who had just been pro-
claiming their intention of fighting the
Americans, soon were sending +heir
families to the American side for
protection
AT 1 o'clock this morning the inter
national bridge was blocked by refu-
gees. The bridge was finally closed
by immigration officers and prepara-
tions made to handle the throng at
daylight. A company of United States
soldiers and customs and immigration
officers opened the bridge at dawn and
within three hours about 1000 persons
had crossed and Piedras Negras was
almost deserted.
General Guajardo left a mounted
patrol to prevent desertion and a few
soldiers in small fort that COM
mands the bridge, but the main body
of federal trops included the new vol
unteer corps, camped at Fuentes.
Constitutionalist leaders say they
will not occupy the town until an un-
derstanding has been reached with the
United States.
