5000 MEXICANS

J. s. Will Be Kind Host to the Frightened Refugees
VILLA STARTS S0UTHWARD
WH Ship oHaasa Fueitives to Fort Bliss Until Villa and His HeartIess Rebels Have Left Northern Mexi-
 co and Safety is More Certain.

Washington decision was sreached here that, for the present, the United States will care for the 5000 Federal soldiers and the women and children who joined them in the flight from Ojinaga This course was determined upon a conference between Secretary or War Garrison. Major General Wood and Counsellor Moore of the State De. partment. It will cost the United States about sf 900 a day to play the nnwelcome role of host to these fugi tive MeXicans.
 The refugees will be cared for at Forth Bliss, near El Paso. To reach this point they will have to march overland sixty miles to Maria, Texas, the nearest railroad station. Arrange, ments are already being made to pro vide railroad transportation for the refugees from Maria to Fl Paso.
 All womn and children who care to accompany the soldiers will be per. mitted to dc SO The others will be allowed to stay at Presidio and will be cared for. temporarily by the Red Cross. which already has charge Of the sick and wounded Mexicans who came from Ojinaga. Later the i'm migration authorities will look after the non-combatants.
 Previously 1t has been the United States policy to let surrendered sol diers of either side in the Mexican conflict to filter back across the border 10 fr f,- t- lO so. In the present instance, however, this procedure has been abandoned as official advices make it clear that to turn these Mexieans back into their own country at present would be to condemn them to either starvation or death.
 Major McNamee's latest report indi- oates that small attachments of Fed eral soldiers are still being rounded up fin the district about presidio No resistance to disarmament by United States patrols has been experienced The American troops now have in charge more than 1000 horses, taken arms and ammunition. All the prop. erty will be retained indefinitely by the United States forces.
 Villas forces are now divided be. tween Juarez Chihuahua and Otnaga. with the principal body of troops at the lastnamed place. A concentration of these three bodies is expected probably at Chihuahua. The northern Mexicans composing Villas forces, however, are said to be quite unpopu. lar with the inhabitants of the south, ern states, The kind of operations Villa has been conducting are not en. eouraged by his tellow-rebels in the South.

sites are much the same-life, health,
food, clothing and shelter. The need
for sanitation was especially enforced
by the occurrence of epldemics. The
need for water was supplied by natural
sources until men congregat in large
numbers, when canals and aqueducts
