FL PASO,, Tex, June 21-Ship- ments of supplies from Juarez toI General Pershing at Casas Grandes over the Mexico Northwestern rail- road have been given added impetus in the last few days without sugges- ton of interference from the Car ranza authorities. Officials here seej in this fact an indication that the Mexican attitude is not so warlike as it has appeared to be. Each day has seen at least one train load of food and supplies dispatched southward. A train. which left here yesterday ar rived safely at Casas Grandes this morning Another was loaded and departed for that point this after noon
 As a result of these activities, Gen eral Pershing has on hand supplies sufficient to maintain his full force for sixty days.
 In the last two weeks the quarter masters depot here has gotten 2,5OO,- GOO pounds of oats and large supply of hay to the Colonia Dublan base by way of the Mexico Northwestern. A large portion of this has gone for ward since the situation became crit ical The oats supply will feed Gen. eral Pershing's animals for sixty days.
 From the eXpeditionary base at Co., Iumbus. \. M.. a steady stream of motortruck trains has poured south in the last few days carrying food. forage. supplies, ammunition and equipment, In addition. several hum dred remounts, which had been con- centrated here for emergency pur- poses. have been sent to General Pershing's cavalry troops in the last 72 hours.
 On the other hard, reports in Fl PasO that several thousand Carran- cista soldiers have been concentrated in the hills south of Juarez, were given color by the presence in the Mexican town by the appearance of a number of strange officers who came into Juarez on horseback. Their 1 troops are said to be living in troop ! trains about ten miles south of the l town on the line of the Mexican i National railway. Accompanying the 1 officers were two American negroes. hoth wearing Carrancista uniforms. They bore themselves as soldiers, but returned eYasive answers to questions as to their antecedents, giving rise to q belief that they are deserters from General Persing's command
 Fl Paso continued calm tonight, r.. that every military preparation had been completed and urging people to remain in their homes during any possible trouble. Soldiers and officers at Fort Bliss were still being held clcse to the post Field rations and extra ammunition has been issued and wagon trains loaded.
 Five companies of infantry from-the post was ordered tonight to assist city. but it was asserted no especial significance could be attached to the order which was one of precaution.
 Ditpatches to the Mexican consul late here from Mexico City tonight said that the department of foreign relations had informed the governor of Tabasco that Americans remaining in 1 that state are to be afforded every safeguard, in the event of hostilities granted other foreigners. These in- l structions followed q telegram from the governor saying that a number of Americans living in the state de- sired to remain.
