Mexican troop movements have been
almost continuous in some sections,
and it is believed that in some cases
the same troops have been moved
back and forth along certain line. 1t
10 remarked here that these move
ments may have been to conceal the
real number and disposition of the
Mexican forces, or because of the
scant supplies of provisions in some

From sources regarded as reliable
reports indicate the following possible
Mexican bases in the north; Monterey,
Lampoza, Monciova, Cuatro Cienegas,
Sierra Mojada, Torreon, Chihuahua,
some point between Nacozari and
