and demanded ?50. The cash drawer
contained $48. which they took, and
then found ?400 which Bnrke had hid
den back of a drawer. That they also
took. Two other Americans, in the town

EDUARDO 0CH0A IS
ARRESTED ON TRAIN
Is Alleged to Be Responsi
ble for Much Ammuni
tion Smuggling.
Eduardo Ochoa, said to be the pur
chasing agent of the rebel army, has
been arrested on the charge of con
spiracy to smuggle ammunition into the
republic of Mexico. Ochoa was arrested
Wednesday night while on the South
ern Pacific train for the east. He was
arrested by L. E. Ross, of the depart
ment of justice, who was a passenger
on the same train. Ochoa was taken
off the train at Ysleta and brought back
to El Paso. His arrest is a result of
the investigation of the ammunition
smuggling case at Deming, N. M.. when
Castuio Herrera, operating with the as
sumed name of George Valencia, is
alleged to have arranged for the smug
gling or 4S,vuu rounas oi riue ammu
nition from Deming to Mexico by way j
of Columbus.
- !
Olficers say that Ochoa is responsible
ror the ammunition smuggling west of
Kl- Paso. It is alleged that he has been
shipping rifles and ammunition to Al
buquerque billed as hardware. From
Albuquerque, the ammunition was sent
to Deming and from there taken in
wagons across the line into Mexico,
where it was freighted to the rebel
front.
PHANTOM FEDERALS
SEEN NEAR JUAREZ
Body of 25 Comes to Ford to
. Water Horses; Wear
Federal Uniforms.
Federals, dressed in regular federal
uniforms, are being seen again below
Ysleta on the Mexican side of the river,
according to the reports that have been
brought to El Paso from the valley
town. A troop of Z5 leaerais is saia to
have come to the ford below Ysleta to
water their horses and to have been
seen by the soldiers on the American
side. Sergt. Gebhardt, of company D,
22d infantry, is reported to have seen
the phantom federals, although Col.
Steever has received no report of any
federals in the vicinity of Juarez. Col.
Steever does not place any credence in
the reports, as he says that his officers
are instructed to report the presence
of any Mexican troops opposite the
AmAripan ;ilf of the river.
The fact that the supposed federals '
are dressed in the regulajuniform does
not strengthen the report any, as there
are no uniformed federals in northern
Mexico at the present time, the Mex
ican officials say. It is thought tlio
soldiers seen were scouts from the
Juarez or Guadalupe rebel garrison.
Oxfords that were ordered for shipment April 1 5
have just arrived. We cannot handle them all now
and give the men of El Paso an opportunity to
saveN money on these new, fresh goods.

REBELS READY FOR ,
THE COMING FIGHT
Are Advancing South to
Meet the .Federals Be
low Bachimba Pass.
At the rebel front, Ortiz, Mex., June
20. Gen. Luis. Fernandez, commanding
a detachment of rebels succeeded dur
ing the night In driving the federal
outposts out of their positions at Las
Delicias but indications were that they
would swing back into them during
the day. Scores of troop trains are
moving south today from Bachimba to
reinforce the columns here and a fight
is looked for before nightfall near
Ortiz.
The insurrecto lines are drawn
across a wide territory here just
behind the valley where the long
Ortiz bridge, destroyed by the rebels
in their retreat, was located. Fed
eral scouting parties have approached
to a point near Las Delicias, only
eight miles Deiow mis piace, ana
ot,s,n Ti?r5ifrpment is looked for dur-
, . -s Th main rebel forces
under Gen. Pascual Orozco are still
at Bachimba, 15 miles north, where the
final stand of the Liberals will be
made against Huerta's federal troops.
Gen. Inez Salazar. virtually second
in command to Gen. Orozco, went to
Chihuahua yesterday from La Cruz,
where he has been directing the
skirmishing with the federal outposts.
Salazar is ill and has left Gen. Mar
celo Caraveo in command at the front.
A dynamiting crew mostly Ameri
cans employed by the Mexican govern
ment is operating between here and
Juarez and probably will blow up all
the important railroad trestles on the
Mexican Central if the rebel scouting
parties sent out to prevent them fails
to tnrnip. them. The object of the ex-
' pedition is to cut wire and railroad
communication ireiwnu uuiunnua tu
Juarez and make the latter place
destitue of supplies or support in case
of an attack by federals from Sonora
on the Mexican town across from El
Paso.
CHIEF OF REBEL MEDICAL

Dr. A. R. Lcheverria. of Chihuahua, who
has been chief or the medical depart
ment of the reDei army, nas .sent nis
resignation to Gen. Pascual Orozco and
is now in Juarea awaiting the accept
ance of his resignation. He will go to
Cuba for a short stay.
LARGE SCOUTING PARTIES
SENT OUT FROM JUAREZ
Large forces from the Juarez garri
son have been sent out during the last
few days to watch the surrounding
countrv near Juarez. Mounted guards
are being kept continually on duty in
Juarez at the present time and the
men ride through the streets day and
night.

HUERTA LOSES SOME
KILLED IN FIGHTING
At Gen. Huerta's federal headquar
ters. La Cruz. Mex., June 20. Five
thousand government troops, including
infantry, cavalry and artillery, com
manded by Gen. Huerta, are on the
march today toward Bachimba, where
the deciding engagement of the Mexi
can revolution is expected to be fought.
The entire division is expected to be
encamped tonight at Saucillo. only 20
miles from Ortiz, the rebel front, and
but 35 miles from the whole rebel
arny at Bachimba. The federal van
guard of 1S00 cavalry under Gen. Rab
ago is expected to be in ifrequent
skirmish with the enemy around Las
Delicias. eight miles south of rOrtiz, as
has been the case, in the last three
days.
The outpost fighting has resulted in
a loss of seven dead. 1C wounded, and
60 horses. The rebel losses are esti
mated at much greater figures because
the government outposts claim to have
occupied advantageous positions in the
hills around La Cruz, 20 miles north of
here. Gen. Rababo reported to head
quarters that he had routed the enemy
in every instance, the best proof of
his accomDlishment being the retreat
of the rebel front line to Ortiz 36 miles
north of La Cruz, where the skirmishes
were hottest.
Inspection of the battlefield today
revealed the fact that the rebels wast
ed much ammunition as empty car
tridges were profuse in the positions
they held during the fighting.
Huerta Claims Victory.
Mexico City. Mex., June 20. An of
ficial telegram from Gen. Huerta to
president Madero today at La Cruz con
firms previous reports of a battle there
and claims a federal victory over 2500
rebels. Huerta is reported moving for
ward to Saucillo.

Lawrence Converse, one of the Amer
icans who was held in the Juarez jail
by the federals in Juarez last year, is

Mexican government has established at
the Mexican consulate. Converse was
kidnaped near Sierra Blanca and taken
across the river and confined in the
federal Jail until he was released, to
gether with Edwin Blatt. his companion,

"Convarse's father filed the claim
against the Mexican government, but
he was killed recently in an auto acci
dent in California and Converse is
here to present his case before tho
claims court. He has asked for $25,000
damages because of his imprisonment.
He was notified to appear before the
court by Mexican consul H. C. Llo-

THINK TROUBLE DUE TO
STORM AND NOT TO SOLDIERS
For two days the Mexico North
"Western railroad has been having wire
trouble and only for a short' time has
the Juarez office of the railroad been
able to communicate with Madera. The
company officials attribute the break
in telegraphic communication to heavy
storms which have been in the section
along the railroad, and not to any ac
tivity of either rebel or federal forces.

REBELS TO REINFORCE
JUAREZ: FEAR ATTACK
Madera, Hex., June 20. Rebel leaders today arranged for a special train
to carry reinforcements from Casas Grandcs over the Mexican North Western
to Juarez, whe-o an attack by federal forces approaching from the west is an
ticipated within a week, ft is claimed by the insurrecto officers here that the
entire North Western line is still under rebel control and that there is no fear
of federal interference for the present. Meanwhile the rebels are strengthening
their, garrisons along the line in expectation of activity. Twenty-five meii were
sent from here today to garrison Temosachic, 20 miles south.
Though the skirmish :. Aguaje on the Mexican North western north of
here was fought a week ago, a Mexica n ranchman who today -iad occasion
to ride over the battlefield found a saddled and bridled horse, starving and
thirsty, held fast by a rope clenched in the hand of a dead federal officer. The
man had evidently been wounded and had got off his horse to relieve his suffer
ing, the horse being kept prisoner, though the officer died. In the saddle bags
were found $5000 in bills and some records, but nothing to indicate the name
or rank of the officer.
