Go .from Marfa to See Battle. WASHINGTON, Sept 10. Permission for 1,200 Mexican federal troops to pass through the United States from El Yaso into Chihuhuaand Sonora, to attack the fleeing rebels, was granted to the iMadero government by the State de partment today. The arms of the troops will be carried aa baggage. When the movement is to begin is not known. Mexican rebels under .General Salazar, who began late yesterday a concerted attack upon the town of Ojinaga, op . posite Presidio, Tex., were driven off by the federals, and are now retreating southwesterly in the direction of San Bernardino, according, to a dispatch re ceived at the War department from Gen eral B. Z. Steever at El Paso. Rebela Are Concentrating. More disquieting reports from the Arizona border continued today to reach I the War department Mexican -rebels were said to be gathering in the vicinity of Cananea preparing for a long and forced march... Forces and Supplies were being conoentrated. " Although every effort is being made to learft the objective point of the most .formidable expedition since Orozco's force I was scattered no satisfactory explanation jhas been found. Scouts report a force of 'dose to 400 well armed rebels opposite Qultman, Tex., while 1,600 more are re ported encamped ten miles to the rear. General Salazar still remains at Qabalon and is being closely watched by the Amer ican patrol to prevent threatened raids. The situation at Ojinaga, where there :are several Americans, is causing this government some uneasiness. .Instead of a strong federal garrison, as - reported, it has been learned that the federal com mander has only 200 men. The rebels are gathering in .increased , numbers in the iviclnity. ":' ' ' AesaaM - iaa;-Keewed, yJ Eli PASO, Tex., Sept 10.Rebels ars assaulting Ojinaga, a Mexican border port east of El Paso on the International line, according .to a telegram received here at noon by General E. Z. Steever. The telegram came from Maria, Tex., to which point It had been telephoned by United States soldiers at Presidio, Tex., opposite Ojinaga. The telegram said that the rebels were using hand grenades and attacking at close quarters, but had not been able to take the town. The firing was plainly heard on the American side, but no bullets had fallen in Presidio when the message was sent . ; -Hundreds Go to See Battle. MARFA, Tex., Sept. 10. Hundreds of persons left Marfa today for Presidio. Tex., to witness an encounter reported in progress between Mexican .federals and rebels at Ojinaga, The rebels were said to be using dynamite bombs in their at tack on Ojinaga, which was" defended by General Sanchez and 300 federal troopers. The Mexican consul at Marfa, S. M. Del Toro, was today advised that General Trucy Aubert with a cavalry detachment was rapidly -approaching Ojinaga to aid the beleaguered federals. Interest in the reported conflict was heightened because Presidio, Tex., is In line of possible fire and a man was re ported shot in the hip by a bullet that crossed - the International boundary dur ing yesterday's fighting. General Steever"s report,' mentioned in a Washington dispatch, probably means that General Aubert arrived today and that the rebels fled. Mexican Senate Acta. MEXICO CITY, Sept 10.
