ELL PASO. TENAS, April 22.-Thc
crossing of additional American troops
into Mexico from Columbus to-day
caused feeling approaching dismay
among Mexican officials in Juarez, who
were previously convinced that Cen

the Juarcz commandant, was frank in
his expressions of concern.
Il do not understand why additional
troops are being sent In. l understood
that the American government was
considering the withdrawal Of it's

who are still roaming about Northern

Carranza Officials Report Situation
Generally Quiet and Preparations
Made to Suppress Amy Disorders
That Might Arise.

Ell PASO, TEN, April 22-Brigadier-
General Pershng has made such dis
position OF his forces that the Ameri.
can punitive expedition is equally
ready to-day to proceed quickly in
pursuit Of Villa or withdraw from
Mexico when tho future course of op-
erations Is determined by the ndminis-
tration at Washington. The troops can
DO retired from Mexico in ten days.
according to army officers at Fort
Bliss.
Carranza officials at Juarez reported
the situation generally quiet through
out upper Mexico. and said every
preparation has been made TO suppress
any disorders that might arise. The
Parral district is being filled with Car
rama troops. and guards have been
thrown about mining properties
A troop train left Juarcz to-day with

officials. these troops will replace the
soldiers now there, who will be sent
to MADEIRA.
LtIL ON BORDER PENDING
ANNOUNCEMENT OF DECISION
Pending the report which General
Scott Is expected TO mako TO tho War
Department to-day from San Antonio,
and on which a decision will be reached
as to whether tho cxpeditionary force
shall be withdrawn, there was n lull
even In the ranks of the alarmists
villa has become n minor figure in
tho situation as far rs Eel Paso ia con-
cerned. Those who do not believe he
is dead are willing to admit that his
prestige Is Gone, ami that he has ceased
TO be factor In Mexican affairs.
Apart from the question Of withdrawal
OF the American troops. interest here
is directed to stories from Mexican
sources dealing with the alleged sprcad
OF the Felix Dias movement in Northern
Mexico.
II seems certain Tint there Is some
basis for these stories, which are nc
cepted as substantially true by Amcri-
can oNc'alS here. The constant move
mont of Carranza troops. no detach-
mcnt being allowed to remain I'm one
place for more than few weeks at \
time. Is believed to have close rel,-
tion TO the activities OF Diaz and his
followers
Federal and local officials here are
satisfied that attempts arc being made
on Il fairly large and apparently or
Eantzed scale to ,ampcr with The
| loyalty OF tho Carranza commanders.
nut SO far there has been no indication
That such attempts have succeeded
