(From a Staff Correspondent.)
C5UDAD JAUAREZ. Mexico. April 17.
(Rpeclal Correspondence) Even the "cam do
santo," the cemetery here, Is not sacred
when military matters are to be considered.
A force of men were at work today digging
entrenchments on both sides of tha burial
ground for the use of outposts. Thlt It one
half mile touth of Juares. on an open flat
commanding tha approach to the town
from the south. The hill southwest of the
town Is also being prepared for tha artil
lery now in the city.
With much excitement the federal troops
are preparing for the expected visit of
Madero's main force. Again the question,
"When?" It asked on every tide and there
Is no answer. In insurrecto quarters In
El Paso no attack upon Juarex Is antici
pated until OJinaga, now surrounded, falls,
when the Insurrectos expect to have plenty
of ammunition, three field guns, one rapid
fire gun. Including the MeOtnty cannon
stolen some weeks ago from City Hall park
In El Paso.
Navarro's Plan far Fight.
An organization which corresponds to the
chamber of commerce or the commercial
club in most cities, visited General Navarro
In a body today and requested that upon
the approach of tha Insurrectos that he
give battle outside or at least on the out
skirts of the city. The etern toldier of the
old school listened te the plea and then
deolared that he would defend the city In
the city, and that if the city were blown te
pieces everyone would have to take the
same chance,
A brilliant dash of 260 mllea across coun
try by General Rabago and his cavalry,
now at Chihuahua, to relieve Juares. Is
reported on the streets. Military author
ities declare they know nothing of such a
more. General Rabago Is tha man wha
came to tha relief of this rtty when Gen
eral Orosco was besieging the town. Whan
ha made his former forced march ha was
at Casas Grand es, where tha Insurrectos
sra now gathered In strength.
United States army officers In command
of tha two bridges to tha Mexican side
profess to know that Madero t command U
loading at Casas Grandet, presumably to
move on this city. Arrangements sra being
made to strengthen the patrol an the border
should this report prove to be true. It It
asserted that everything possible will ba
dona to prevent violations af tha neutrality
laws along tha border opposite Juares.
It a mors front Tarreoa. .
For tha first time since tha Insurrecto
outbreak In Mexico the Mexican Interna
tional, between Torreon and Eagle pass,
it being Interfered with. The first trouble
occurred at Bols, north of Torreon, yes
terday, when a band of rebels which had
been operating In that section tore up the
rails of tha track and ditched a freight
train. Several people were Injured among
the crew.
News has Just been received of the burn
ing of several bridges between Torreon snd
Jaral. Thlt will leave the amall Hlpollto
branch the only outlet for mall and passen
gers to the United States from this part
of the' country.
Members of Trlana't band, which held up
a passenger train at Paaaja yesterday,
after fighting at Velardana for twenty
four hours, succeeded In getting tha com
bination of tha time lock safe of tha ex
press company and made away with 11.700
In cash. i
A story from Torreon, sensational If true.
Is to the effect that 400 rebels have been
dispatched by Moya to Intercept the troop
train which left Torreon yesterday after
noon bound for Zacatecas. This train con
tained an armored car and 260 men of the
Eleventh cavalry. The ttory it current
that the rebels lifted a rail at tha curve on
tha top of the mountain at El Bote, five
kilometers north of Zacatecaa, and that the
whole train was ditched and left to the
mercy of the rebels, whote camp flret were
visible all during the night.

CURES
o BLOOD POISON
Contagious' Blood Poison nsually begins with a tiny sore or pimple as
the only outward evidence of its presence. But in a short while its many
symptoms begin to make their unwelcome appearance. The mouth and
throat ulcerate, itching rashes appear on the body, the hair comes out easily,
brown splotches appear on the limbs, etc. So highly contagious is the dis
ease that it is sometimes communicated from one person to another by the
use of the same toilet articles or handling the clothes of an infected person.
S..S. S. has been curing Contagious Blood Poison for more than forty years.
It goes right down into the circulation, and removes every particle of the.
poison. While curing th disease S. S. S. adds richness and nourishing
powers to the blood, and a person who is cured by the use of S. S. S. will find
that every portion of the system has been benefited by the treatment. S. S. S.
cures so perfectly that there is never any return of the old symptoms ; it
drives the poison completely out by purifying the blood, which is the only
safe and sure way to treat the disease. Write for our Home Treatment Book
