HERRERA LOYAL TO
DE FACTO REGIME
GoTernor Enriquei Says Herrera ii
Close After Bandit in Southern
Chihuahua.
GOVERNOR'S DENIAL SPECIFIC
GAL.VE8TON. Tex., March 23
General Luis Herrer It conducting
active military operations against the
Villa forces and has not gone over
to the bandit leader, according to a
cablegram from Mexico City, received
by the Mexican consulate here today.
Tbls menage says that the Herrera
campaign against the Villa force Is
being waged In southern Chihuahua
KL, PASO, Tex., March 23. Ignaclo
Hnrlquez, civil governor of the state
of Chihuahua, sent a telegram to
Consul Garcia at EI Paso today de
claring that General Luis Herrera,
commanding the garrison at Chihua
hua City, still was loyal to the first
chief and not to credit reports of his
defection to Villa.
Consul Garcia made public mewing,
from Governor Enriquei, which read:
"Tour ttifjtf referring to the prena
.report regarding- General tula Herrera
received, t have juat eh ken handa with
Herrera and he In loyal to the legal gov
ernment of Mexico. lo not give credit
to report In tfila matter."
Reporta ef General Herrera revolt
were heard at army headquarters yester
day and from private advlcea received
here. They were credited, but an abso
lute confirmation or denial of the report
was lacking.
Mirk A pareheaeloa at Bl Paso.
Whether or not the report of Herrera's
defection waa oorroct It waa obvious that
In military circles much apprehension
waa felt over the situation at Chihuahua.
Brigadier General Bell aald ha had been
advised everything waa quiet In Juares,
and while his reports Indicated there waa
a Villa aentlment In Juares, ha regarded
the situation aa satisfactory. The gen
eral aald every precaution had been taken
to meet any possibility of an uprising In
Juares.
General Belt aald that ha bad no Infor
mation regarding a vague report that
General Pershing bad taken over the
Mexican Northwestern railroad south of
Caaaa Grandee and that troops were be
ing moved aouth from that point by rail
road. The general did not know where
tho report came from. The military baae
at Columbus had not beard of the re
ported seisiire of the railroad.
General Bell added that Major General
Funaton had not advised him concerning
any change of the army base from Co
lumbus to El Paso, but that the tranafer
could be quickly effected.
Railway nadir Needed.
An early agreement with the Carrania
government for the permission to use
Mexican railway line la greatly desired
by army officer. The main base would
then be transferred from Columbua to
this city and the Mexico Northwestern
railway could be uad to ship men and
aupptlea to Cases Grandee. The railroad
could b easllyftnalntatned against Inter
ruption, while the present line south
ward out of Columbus over a desert
might be readily cut should Villa re
cruit a formidable body of men. Villa
- Is aald to have sent agents among the
populace In the mountain districts urg
ing, them to support him against the
Americans. The outlaw la reported ' to
be equipping his men wUh arma and
ammunition, which ha haa had cached
for some time. Ha has plenty of good
mounts and once his command la ready
Villa will be In a position to start a
guerilla campaign against the American
ianr.
There la no confirmation of a report
that Colonel Cano of Carransa's army
has Joined forced with Villa.
All waa quiet In Juatts early today and
street ear service, which waa suspended
last night for fear of trouble In that
Mexican city, was resumed thla morning.
Tfce railroad bridges ar still under guard.
May Disarm Mealoaaa.
W grave was the situation regarded
here that the military authorities planned
today drastic stepa to rt'.leve all Mexicans
in El Paso of any arms they might have
concealed In their booses and enforce
what would be practically martial law In
-Utile Chihuahua." the heart of El
Paae'a Mexican section.
All night long El Paso waited aleep
Icaaly for the warning whistles which
would tell that the long expected out
break had occurred. Three hundred sol
diers with machine gun detachments
-waited under arma for any amergenoy,
and the police reeervee, equipped with
rifles, were also held ready. Again and
again rumors ran through the town that
hooting had been beard In Juares, but
each time they proved base leas.
It la understood that government off!
clais here have aent to Washington l

time. It la aald that tha Washington au
thorities opposed such a atep on the
around that It would be misinterpreted by
the Mexicans aa discrimination against
tbem and in violation of their rights. It Is
now Insisted by the local authorities that
the time has paaaed for any delicacy In
handling the situation. It la pointed out
that no American la permitted to enter
Mexico armed and that there haa been a
for greater laxity on this side of the bor
der' than waa desirable.
Joarea Sltaatloa Delicate.
The situation In Juares remains mostly
a subject of conjecture with auch items
of information aa are obtainable bearing
a decidedly atnlster aspect, it la known
that a bitter feud exists between the
mayor, Manuel Prleto, and tha military
commander, General Oabrlel Gavlra.
I-rleto is a staunch Carranalsta, while Ga
vlra la devoU-d to tha Interests of Gen
eral Obregon, Carreaae'a minister of war,
but who at the aame time la known to
be bitterly hostile to the first chief's pro
gram, especially aa It relates to co-operation
with Americans. 1 Uavlra's troops are
otvMed between Obregonlstaa and former
Vllllstas.

Whatever may happen In Juares there

Mrs. Hoy C. Andrews and her faithful
dog, "Pat"' will accompany her husband
Into the Interior of China, on an explora
tion trip for the American Museum of
Natural History, They have left New
Tork and aall for Japan on the tenth of
April.
It Is really a bridal trip for the young
couple, Mrs. Andrews Is the daughter of
Major Henry Borup, United States army,
and tha sister of the young Arctic ex
plorer, George Borup, who was drowned
on Teary'a north pole expedition.
Mr. Andrews hsa twlco encircled the
world for tha Natural History museum.
His companion, Edmund Heller, besides
bis trip with the Roosevelt expedition
(Rooeevelt African expedition), haa been
with one of Paul Italney'a expeditions
and baa Just returned from the Tale
Peruvian expedition.
Describing hla plans, Mr. Andrews said:
''From Peking we will sail down the
coast to Fu Chu, In Fu Klen province.
Hera Mr. Heller and Perry Caldwell, a
missionary will Join us for a hunt through
tha Bohea mountains, some 300 miles in
land, from the strait of Formosa. There
Is big game In this region and wa should
obtsln some valuable and new apeclmena.
'From Fu Klen my wife. Heller and I
will go up the ooast to the mouth of the
great Wang-Tse river by steamer, which
tlea have made vigorous efforts to fore
stall any trouble by art os ting every Mex
ican who waa auspactod of Inciting their
fellow countrymen nglnsj Americana.
That such a' system, apparently organ
ised, haa been carried on for aome time
haa been well known. Numerous arrests
have been made, especially among the
VUllsta colony, which is quite large.
Troaale Kapaete la Soaora.
Tha belief ef Americana who are fa
miliar with Mexican affairs was that
If tha reported revolts in Chihuahua se-
rloualy shook tha power of the flrat
chief, It would not be loqg, before there
waa trouble in Sonore. Thla state Is
headquartere of the Obregonlatas and haa
never, according to Information here,
been mora than lukewarm to tho Car-
ranaa cause. It la tha native atate of
General Obregon and Ha people are aald
to bd devoted to hla Interests. General
Calles, the military governor of Honors,
la known to be an out-and-out Obregon
adherent, and In hla recent fiery attacks
upon the clentlfloos and clericals, com
bined with' hla proposal to confiscate
all concessions granted by Huerta and
Villa, have given omtnoua force to the
persistent rumors that be Is not only
antl-Amerlcan. but sympathises at heart
with Villa. It la certain that a large
number of hla most trusted officers are
former Vllllstas, who were implicated
with tha bandit chief in aome of his
moat notorious exploits. .
Whatever be the outcome, tha nervous
tension along tha border haa Increased
to such an extent that most Americans
frankly admit that they would prefer a
definite aunderlng of relations between
Waahlngton and the de facto government
to a continuance of the existing situa
tion. PRICE OF CASTOR OIL
IS TREBLED BY WAR
DES MOINES, la., Varch 21-(8paclal.)
Castor oil, the bogey of the amall boy
with a stomachache, haa almost fallen
Into disuse. It baa trbebled in price and it
la virtually impossible to purchaaa oil
In large amounts at fciiy price. Tha ad
vance is attributed to the European war.
A canvaaa of Dea Moines druggists re
vealed the fact that few of them have
enough castor oil on band to cope with
green apple colic. Wholesale druggists
are In tho aame predicament, it la said.
Traveling Salesmen have been Instructed
not to sell more than a gallon of oil to
one druggist. The supply comes from
the East Indlea and trade with that sec
tion hsa been greatly demoralized by lark
