sui Andres Garcia, who said that="Gen-
eral Obregon is coming to Juarez."
Consul Garcia could not state when
General Obregon would arrive.
General Obregon's exact location was
not divulged by Mexican officials, but
from other sources it was learned that
he was probably at or nearing Chihua-
hua. The run from chihuahua to Jua-
rez under ordinary conditions con-
sumes from ten to twelve hours.
It is not regarded as likely, however.
that he will leave Chihuahua until
Generals Scott and Funston are we'll on

pecially to Durango City, where the
Americans still living there have been
repeatedly; warned by United States
Consul Coen to leave. AS far as can be
learned here there are not more than
dozen Americans still in Durango
City, the majority of whom have mar
ried into Mexican families and for that
reason have SO far considered them
selves safe. :-.. u. ~. -.
Mexican Papers Blamed.
The present trouble seems to be due
in part to the persistent anti-American
campaign which has been carried on
by the Mexican papers. This cam
paign has greatly intensified In vio'
lence since the clash at Parral between
United States soldiers and Carranza
troops. .-.G - ~:.'
Americans who. have arrived here
from Durango and southern Chihuahua
