On 1 the general civil docket there are 03 cases, on the criminal docket 2S. on the ell voice docket is, on the chancery docket' eight, on the Jury calendar 17 and on the court calendar seven. The cases on the criminal docket are mostly old nnc-i which have been disposed of at previous terms and In which the respondents urn in the hnnds of the probation officer.

SENT TO EL PASE: Regiment Goes from Fort: Douglas, Utah, to Preserve Order within the City Limits. Wasnlngton, Nov. 25. Tho rout of th Mexican fodorals near Juarez be thi constltutlonaJlst forco and a wireless re- , port from Rend Admiral Fletcher indl- j eating that conditions In tho oil reglono near Tuxpam were not as threatening as previously had been reported, held tha Interest of official Washington to-day in ' the Mexican situation. The wireless message to the navy de- I partment from Admiral Fletcher, who I left Vera Cruz on the battleship Rhodo .1 Island lato Monday night with John Llnd, I the special American envoy, to inves- 1 tlgate allegcsl threatening conditions In i the oil districts of Tuxpnm and Tarn- ' pIco, brought evident relief to officials here. The admiral's report regarding th Tuxpam field, where Hritlsn and Amer ican Interests nre situated, gave Indica tions that no immediate aggressive ac tion on the part of the fnltrsl States to furnish protection would be necessary. Though no official report has yet com with relation to the Tampico district, th belief here Is that the situation there will be found similarly controlled. The border situation, as a result ot tho vigorous operations near Juarez and thn possibility of another siege of Juarez aroused the war department to action to afford ample protection for Kl I'aso and the neighboring border territory, and late to-day orders were issued for tho movement from Fort Douglas, Utah, to Kl Paso of the 20th United States Infan try which will be used to preserve ordef within the city limits. CAVALRY FOR PATROL WORK This arrangement will permit tho use of the two regiments of cavalry now nt Rl Paso, Fort Bliss and mvlrons to guard the border in each direction from th city. In addition to these two regiments, the loth. Just arrived from northera posts, and the Becond, there is a batter of the fifth artillery while Hrlg.-Gea. .Hugh L. Scott with a squadron of th 12th cavalry, will go to Kl Paso as soo as he ha composed the threatened out break among the Navajo Indians In New Mexico, Tho wnr depot tment, upon the request of tlm American Red Cross Issued orders i which permit the bringing of wounded .' Mexican soldiers across the border lnf ' Kl Pnso, the permission npplying to fed- ' eral and constltutlonnllst soldiers alike. The first soldiers to ue received will ho ' wounded constitutionalists, as thev have I been already brought into Juarez In con- ' sldernble numbers. The federal soldier. large numbers of whom are reported to ' be n a pitiable condition farUier South, ! will receive equal treatment, if any I agency is devised to bring them into ' Amerlran territory. The Red Cross authorities find It easier to care for the wounded Mexicans in ) American territory thnn to enter Into tha j International negotiations which would b nercssarv In order to cross tho bound- arv, and it also Is known that farl!Itie i for the care of the wounded in .Tuarsz aro 1 entirely Inadequate. i The Mexican Red nnd White Cross or ganizations are disorganized and officials 1 hero eay there Is no authoritative agency In Mexico through which the American 5 society could work IN LINK FOR RECOGNITION It was suggested to-night that ono importnnt result of the rebal victory nc Juarez might bo to bring Into greater prominence tho question of recognition by the United States government o Qonoral Carranzu's constitutionalist party as the do fncto government of northern Mexico. Now that General Carranza can claim that his party Is In practical physical possession of all of the northern states of Mexico, it is ex pected that ho will comply with tho further requirements of lntornatlon.il law by settling upon a permanent capital at Hernioslllo or Magdalena ana completing the organization of hla provisional government. This question Is said to have baen discussed by Dr. Wm. Bayard Hale in his recent conferences with General l Carranza nnd Sonor Kscudero. It was; ' then rnther hypothetical ns the fed erals wore In great force in the Stata of Chihuahua. Dr. Halo Is expected iu Washington within a few days. There was no confirmation here to day of a report from Berlin that the Amorlcan ambassador, James W Gl rard. In discussing the Mexican situa tion with the Gorman minister of for eign affairs, Gottlelh Von Jagow, had submitted a new chle from Washing ton, reaffirming the attitude of tho United States in regard to tho elimina tion of General Iluertu and the non rocognltlon of tho new Mexican Con gress. Acting Secretary of State John Bassott Mooro said he hai no know ledge of nny new note on tho subject. FOREIGNERS ASKI5D TO REOISTKR, Moxlco City. Nov. 20.
