GEN. CASTRO SAYS
MOVE NOT PLANNED

ITHIN 24 hours it is expected
that all of the soldiers win
have left Juarez for Chihuahua
city. Orders were given "Wednesday
morning for the preparation of a train
of 20 cars to take tne remaining sol-
diers away from the border city. uen.
Francisco Castro and other military
officials in Juarez deny that they In-
tend to move. They declared that
preparations were not being made but
it is known that the cars have been
ordered and will be ready to depart
during the afternoon.
The troop and provision trains that
left Juarez last Sunday were reported
at Moctezuma Tuesday night and pro-
ceeding south Wednesday morning
without having been attacked by the
rebels. The telegraph wires to Chi-
huahua city are operating. J
Only 20 Cars Available.
The 20 cars to be used in the mili-
tary train which will proceed south-
ward are all that can be secured in
Juarez. The American railroads will
not allow any of their rolling stock to
cross the river.
There is no anxiety shown on the
part of the citizens or soldiers of Jua-
rez in regard to the move bu it is
to be 'made quickly more quickly than
any military movement out of Juarez
heretofore.
" Although reports have been sent out
from Mexico Citv to the effect that
minister Urrutia has ordered all jefes
politico throughout the country to
prepare all able bodied men for ser-
vice under the guise of arranging for
parades on Independence day Septem-
ber 16 no such orders have been re-
ceived in Juarez where the officials
sav. all able bodied men are now well
drilled. .
American consul Thomas D. Edwards
has received no report of the five
Americans reported killed near Chi-
huahua during July. '

CHDZUAHUAFEDERALS
TO MOYE ON SONORA
Campaign From the East to be Made In
Conjunction With Ojcda's Advanc
From the West.
Douglas. Ar:r.. Aug. -7. That the
Sonora situation will develop into an
active campaign by the federals against
the "Constitutionalists" both from the
south and east is being freely pre-
dicted here by men claimjng to know
the federal plans. The federals are said
to be rapidly getting into position to
march from the state of Chihuahua
through Ojitas. into Sonora for the
purpose of retaking the northern bor-
der ports. At the same time. Ojeda is
expected to continue his attempts to
push north. He will thus play his part
even if not successful by retaining
the attention of the main rebel army
while only volunteers remain to guard
'e ports of entry. Once these have
en taken the rest of the campaign
-ill be easy for the federals it is
claimed. By closing the railroads am1
shutting off food supplies from the
United States they can render the po-
sition of the rebels so desperate that
they must surrender or give battle to
the federals under disadvantageous
conditions. The chief source of dan-
ger will be the rebel ammunition sup-
ply which is periodically replenished
by smuggling operations along the bor-
der. The rebels claim to have a Dlentlful
supply of ammunition on hand but say
that their efforts to have the embargo
upon munitions of war raised are made
because of their belief that they could
quickly end the struggle with the
abundant supply of arms and ammuni-
tion that could be obtained.

1 TORREON
American Refugees From
Chihuahua City Say 600
Killed; as Many Wounded.
FOOD GIVES OUT;
EPIDEMICS START
TORREON was besieged and out of
food; the bodies of the dead were
being burned in the streets; the
offal from the federal soldier camps
in the streets had filled the city with
typhoid fever and other diseases and
fhe condition of affairs in the Coahulla
town was terrible say Americans who
arrived here from Monterey Tuesday
evening.
When "the Americans left Torreon on
Aug. 11 the town was still under seise
although the federals were more than
holding their own against the rebels of
Carranza's column. Gomez Palacio and
Lerdo. suburbs of Torreon. had been
abandoned by the federals and had
been looted and many of the stores
burned. The list of dead had reached
600 when the Americans slipped out of
the town and escaped the number of
dead being about evenly divided be-
j tween the federals and rebels. J.ne
wounuea nuiaoerea ouv uim wcic re-
ceiving little or no care.
But one foreigner was wounded dur-
ing the lOvlays' fighting in Torreon.
and his wound was not serious. No for-
eigners had been killed by federal or
rebel bullets when the Americans left.
When the fighting started the federals
unde Gen. Bravo marched out to Loma
to meet Carranza's main column but
were driven back into Torreon in dis-
order and did not again venture out.
Food Supply Exhausted.
The food supply was about exnausted
and there was much suffering among
the poor of Torreon. the Americans say.
The Americans had obtained a small
food supply and were making an ef-
fort to conserve it in the event that
the supply in the stores should be com-
pletely exhausted. The corn had given
out when they left and the beans and
meat supplies were getting low.
The soldiers encamped in the princi-
pal streets and there was much typhoid
and some typhus resulting from their
lack of . sanitation. Scarlet fever had

tendent Adams of the Asarco smelter
i Amoriran Smeltinc and Refining
nr thi American Smelting and Refining
company's property near Torreon. was
quite sick' with scarlet fever but was
expected to recover.
Rebels Control Railroad.
The rebels control the railroad to
within eight miles of Torreon. the
Americans say. and they are not per-
mitting any Americans to leave the
country. Many Americans have been
detained but released by the rebels. The
same thing has happened in Torreon.
they say. where the federals arrested
a number of Americans on the charge
of being in sympathy with the rebels.
They were released although the fed-
eral authorities refused to recognize
the American consul In his official ca-
pacity in dealing with these cases.
Lampacltns Mine Wrecked.
The Lampacitas mine which is owned
by French capitalists had been de-
stroyed by the rebels and everything
on the surface had been burned the
mine dynamited and the mills de-
stroyed. The rebels threatened to do
the same thing to the Agujita and Ro-
slta coal mines unless the owners paid
the rebels $50000 gold for protection.
Six trains on the Mexican Internation-
al road had been dynamited by the reb-
els. American Women Brought Out.
An automobile party arrived Tues-
day afternoon from La Boqullla by
way of Chihuahua with a number of
the wives of officers at the La Boquil-.
la project in the automobile. No rebels
were seen on the way from La Boqullla
and the only federals to be seen along
the route was the escort to the pro-
vision trains which left Juarez Sunday.
When the automobile saw the trains
they were leaving Villa Ahumada for
Moctezuma Monday and were progress-
ing slowly toward Chihuahua.
Hulse Is Safe.
Shirley C. Hulse the manager at La
lBoquilla -was reported safe by the
Americans upon their arrival here ana
he will come to El Paso on the next
trip "the auto makes to Boquilla. He
is now in charge of the company's work
at the Conchos river project. The
American refugees from Madera were
in Chihuahua when the automobile
party left and were trying to get hand-
cars to come to El Paso without a
military escort the Americans from La
Bouqilla say. Governor general Mer-
cadp refused to allow them to leave
and they will remain in Chihuahua un-
til the troop trains are returned to
Juarez.
SUPPLY TRAINS ARE
REPORTED ATTACKED
There was a report In El Paso Wed-
nesday morning that the supply and
troop trains had been attacked at Gal-
legos below Moctezuma. But the fed-
eral authorities in Juarez deny that the
trains have been attacked and they say
that the trains should reach Chihuahua

Henceforth Mean That the United States Will Permit

ment" in Mexico but Will Choose No Favorites
and Refrain From Taking the Umpire's Job;
Huerta Government Flatly Declared a Fail-
ureSituation Getting Steadily Worse;
Text of Demands and Replies Re-
vealedTone of Message Wholly
Friendly Leaving Way Open
for Further Negotiations.
WASHINGTON D. C Aug. 27. Although asserting that the presant Mexican
government is a failure; that conditions have grown worse instead of
improving; that war and disorder devastation and confusion seem to
threaten to become the settled fortune of the distracted country president Wilson
reiterated today in his address to congress that there should be no armed inter-
vention. TONE FRIENDLY TOMEXICO.
The message is couched in a tone distinctly friendly to Mexico and free from
threat or bluster. It is a plain statement of facts and while congress is given full
information about the recent course of affairs the president does nt assume to
recommend in detail any course of action preferring rather to rely en the power
of public sentiment in both countries to bring about a solution.
ENFORCE STRICT NEUTRALITY.
The president announced the position of the United States to be as follows:
No armed intervention. .
Strict neutrality "forbidding the exportation of arms or munitions of war ot
any kind from the United States to any part of the republic of Mexico."
Under no circumstances "to be the partisans of either party to the contest
that now distracts Mexico or constitute ourselves the virtual umpire between
them."
To urge all Americans to leave Mexico at once and to assist them to get away
in every way possible.
MUST PROTECT AMERICANS.
To let every one in Mexico who assumes to exercise authority know that this
government "shall vigilantly watch the fortunes of those Americans who cannot
get away and shall hold those responsible for their sufferings and losses to a definite
xcdkOnicir '
"That can and will be made plain beyond the posfbility of a misunderstand-
ing" declared the president.
Negotiations for the friendly mediation of the -United States are open ..0
resumption at any time on either the initiative of this government or of Mexico.
"We shall yet prove to the Mexican people" says the president "that we know
how to serve them withuut first thinking how we shall serve ourselves.
A PRAYER FOR PEACE.
Mrs. Wilson and her daughters and secretary Bryan hed taken places in the
executive gallery. Other members of the cabinet had taken places on the floor.
Every head had been bowed and the solemnity of the occasion was impressive
as the house chaplain the Rev. Henry D. Couden in his opening prayer said:
"Rule thou in the hearts of our rulers and sway the minds of these thy
servants that as a nation we may move forward to all that is pure and nobler
until all the people of all the world shall recognize the purity of our motives.
MESSAGE BRINGS APPLAUSE.
Although a deafening volley of applause rang out as the president appeared
he plunged into the reading of his message without delay and with a bow or
acknowledgement of the greeting.
As he finished reading another great roar of applause broke out. All of those
in the gallery stood while the president left the chamber and started back to
the white house. . .

cate that he has been selected to hold the presidency until after an election is held.
