The danger Of renewed rioting here

armed American civilians, became SO
great that Brigadier General Pershing
sent United States regular troops in
to the streets tonight.
Exaggerated reports Of the disor-
ders in Ell Paso sent to Mexican
towns. has incensed them against the
Americans still in Mexico. Although
there were no murders officially re-
ported in the riots here, Mexican
towns heard reports of score shot

Refugees arriving in N Paso from
Chihuahua City, say the anti-Amerf-
can feeling there is intense. To pre-
vent repetition Of the Santa Ysabel
massacre which cost eighteen Ameri-
can lives, Carranza officials and rep
resentatives OF the Washington gov
ernment were makEg strenuous ef-
forts to get Americans out Of Mexico.
Within the next few days at least
three thousand American residents Of
Mexico will come to the border. The
number still remaining In the interior
is much larger than previously esti-
mated.
