81 Paso, Tex, July 5.--Gen. Victoria
no Huerta, who has been out on $751;
o00 bond since his arrest last Sum
day, was re-arrested on new federal
warrant issued at San Antonio. He Is
now locked in the county Jail here
and military guard probably will be
placed about the building to thwart
any possible attempt to escape or at
tempts of friends to release him.
1t was admitted that Huerta was re-
arrested to prevent the possibility Of
ais following the footsteps OF Gen.
Pascual Orozco, who apparently has
forfeited his bond and escaped across
the border. A message received here
said that General Orozco was at Val
entine, Tex. and intended to cross
the border into Mexico today.
The war department has authorized
General Funston to imprison Huerta
at Fort Bliss, and in view Of the SYM
pathetic feeling displayed here toward
Huerta the possibility of his removal
Is under consideration.
Five other Mexicans believed to be
implicated in the alleged plot to start
new revolution in Mexico were ar
rested along with Huerta. .,.
FaIfs to Secure Bond.
q, Commissioner Oliver fixed the bond
of each defendant at $4,000 despite
the fact that r. e. Crawford. assistant
United States district attorney, asked
that Huerta's bond be made 100000.
Huerta and the five others we're uL-
able to secure bonds and shortly after
five o'clock we're locked up.
While he did not attempt to fore
IDLY resist arrest when the officials
came to his home, Huerta lost his tenn.
per completely and protested the &C.
ton. ..,..
Just before he left his home with
the officers Huerta dictated a tele
gram to the chief justice OF the United
States Supreme court. The message
follows:
~ have the honor to inform you on
the following affairs: That the rep.
resentatives of the judicial depart
rnent Of the government In this city
have, without just reason, molested
me and my family here. am already
under arrest here under certain
charges, and have furnished bond with
the local authorities. Now have
been re.arrested.
Asks How to Aact.
ri respectfully ask an order from
your court that your representatives
here be instructed to tell me of the
duties l am to perform and the con-
duct I must pursue In order that
henceforth they may leave me and my
family unmolested."
Huerta reiterated and added to this
protest when he appeared before Com
missioner oliver. R e. Crawford, as
sistant United States district attor-
ney, had Just asked that Huerta's
bond be fixed at 100000 and $4,000
for each of the other defendants, when
Huerta asked to be heard.
The other Mexicans arrested were
Gen. Ignacio Braro, Jose Delguado,
Gen. Eduardo Caus, J. B. Rather and
Enrique Gorostita.
Escapes OuFln9 NI9nt.
Word of Orozco's disappearance
reached federal headquarters. Officers
were rushed to the Orozco residence,
at 1919 Wyoming street. A thorough
search was made, but no trace of the
former Mexican general could be
found. While not definitely known, It
was believed Orozco slipped away be.
tween midnight and daylight.
No trace of the Mexican leader had
been discovered as the day passed,
and It is assumed that he made good
his escape. Fear rs expressed in Mex
lean circles that before many hours
the villa garrison at Juarez may place
itself under the command of Orozco
II was reported that an armed force
was marching toward Juarez from the
west. and among the rumOrs in circu-
luation Is one that Orozco had planned
to move toward Juarez with this or.
ganization.
EIuded Six Guards.
The escape of Orozco was accom-.
plished in spite of a guard OF six
nien-three soldiers and three agents
OF the United States department OF
Justice.
Salvador Rosa was executed In
Juarez accused of sedition. Rosa for
merly was a major in General Oroz-
co.'s army.
