Washington D. C. April 15. A

Tuesday to protect that town against
a threatened attack ofinsurgents.
The revolutionary movement how-
ever did not materialize and the
British men and the guns were with-
drawn. This is the first actual land

in connection with the revolution. . '

DOWN IN SONORA
Said to Have Taken Field
Against Government
Since Chief s Death.
Nogales Ariz. April 15. Reliable in-
formation is that a band of Yaquis is
operating in the Yaqui river vajiey
against the Mexican govermnenr. These
Yaquis have joined the insurrecto
cau:e since the death of their chief
Buli who held his people almost solidly
in support of the Mexican government
after laying down' arms against the gov
ernmert
tion. The election has been postponet
postponed
from the last of April until some time
in June next. It is thought the same
plans will obtain in all parts of the re-
public of Mexico.
It is authentically stated that had
""hot ammunifion ivon mt at Ures
with the rebels Hermosillo would be
in their hands today but. after the
battle of San Rafae the rebels had not
a sufficient supply for the attack ot
Hermosillo hence marched elsewhere.
Information to United -States officials
in Nogales is that A. Saleeby -who was
arrested by. the Mexican officials in No-
gales Mexico some days ago on
charges not made public and taken to
Hermosillo to jail will be released in
a short time his bond having been fixed

leader is anxious to obey. j
Following a conference at the white
house today between the president sec-
retary of war Dickinson and Gen. Leon-
ard Wood chief of staff the latter an-
nounced that four more troops of cav-
alry would be ordered to Douglas from
the nearest patrol station to assist the
United States troops already there.
President's Ultimatum.
Through the state department the
preside.nt'L'Vst night notified the Mex-
ican government that it must see to it
that hereafter no such unfortunate in-
cident as that of Thursday at Asua
Prieta when two Americans were kill-
ed and many wounded in Douglas be j
allowed to occur. Through the war
department and through the depart-
ment of justice the president sent sim
ilar warning to the leader of the in- I
surrectos at Agua Prieta. .
The view is expressed ar tne wnite
house that tht.3e warnings will be
obeyed to the letter and that no more
battles will be fought near the bor-
rler The nresident's action followed a
conference with secretary of war Dick-
inson and actingsecretary of state
Wilson. Soon' after the conference
broke up the white house gave out
a copy of a telegram sent by the pres-
ident through secretary Hilles to F.
P. Grindall of the Douglas chamber j
of commerce and mines.

Mr. Grindall had reported to the
president by wire the casualties at
Agua Prieta and asked. "Is there no
way by which Americans can be pro-
tected in the peaceful pursuit of their '
affairs?"

A traveler who walked into Juarez
yesterday said that there were about
150 rebels at Bauche the first station
south of Juarez. A belated report says
that a few days ago a large body of
men was seen going south from Me-
dauos midway between Juarez and Guz-

Rumor is as wild in Juarez as when
Orozco and his 400 men marched up to
