gress has just closed. full az all re-

ROCHA'S CAREER
DUPL|CATEDBY
BANDIT VILLA
Juarez Aid Rose to Power in
Army, but Knew When
to Stop.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nav e.
Francisco Villa is not the first Meri-
can bandit to rise to high position
in Mexican military affairs.
Sentense Rocha, Bandit, smuggler.
and soldier Of fortune, who Joined
Juarez in the struggle against the
efforts of Austria to establish Mexl-
can empire under Macmillan, had
a career in many ways parallel with
that of Villa, save only that Rocha
establishing himself, retained the
sense of proportion and died in his
bed with honor.
Drives Invaders South.
Rocha, although ignorant of affairs
of the world, was Juarez's second in
command. He had the same streak
of military genius that Villa seems
to have and was a natural military
strategist.
He DEBATED General Thomas Mexia,
at Matamoros, and drove forces OF
AusCrians, French and Mexican i'm
perlalists south.
This was the retreat of the So
called "Tarnava convoy" because the
retreating troops took with them the
enormous treaure of the Tarnava
family. In a night battle Rocha
again attacked the column and rout-
ed 1t, bringing the Tarnava funds
and many prisoners to JuareZ.
Captures Arsenal in Capital.
Following the execution of Maxi
milan andNuarez's assumption OF
the presidency, General Negrete, in
1871, attempted coup de etat as did
Felix Diaz, with Madero and seized
the arsenal.
Juarez placed the task of captur-
ing the arsenal in the hands OF Ro-
cha, who, unlike Huerta in Madero's
time, made a genuine attack, cap
tured the stronghold and saved the
Juarez government For this he was
made secretary of war, and for years
controlled the military policy of Mex
leo, dying later while on visit to
Europe.
