to Ell Pasc in automobiles, escorted by
a troop of American cavalry, and
were taken to the federal building,
where they were held for a while in
the marshal's office pending receipt
| of instructions from Washington as to
their disposition.
Taken to Fort Bliss.
Fearing demonstrations by the
| enormous crowds of Mexicans which
surrounded the building, deputies spir-
| tied Huerta and Orozco into automo-
| biles and they were hurried to the
prison camp at Fort Bliss, where an
American soldier mounts guard over
them in one Of the most handsome
sets of quarters at the fort

the federal authorities that Huerta
was on his way to Ell Paso a sharp
watch was kept by specially depu-
tized United States marshals and
