GenernI and Major Escape from
Fort Jllliin Castillo Ilronsht to
llncblta, X. 31., by United
State Troops.
JUAREZ, Mexico, Fob. 19.-Thomas T.
Edwards, United States consul hero, this
afternoon succeeded In seeing Gustav
Bauch, the American whom tho rebels
are trying on a chargo of being a spy.
Whereabouts of William S. Benton, tho
British subject, who was arrested last
night, could not bo learned. General
Villa said he was not locked up, but
mcanwhllo his .friends made a fruitless
search for him 'and his wife In El Paso
was suffering tho greatest anxiety.
Bauch, according to his sister, Mrs.
J. M. Patterson,- was born In New!
Iberia, La., and was a mere baby when
hia father, William Bauch, left that
city twenty-five years ago and came to
Eagle Pass, Tex.
Scnor Ramon, chief of tho rebel se
crct service, conducted the American
coi:sul and two reporters into the dllapl
dated prison whero a company of sol
dicrs Is quartered.
Prisoner Appears.
Tho visitors wcro led into a dark
anglo of the building, where they were
cautioned that tho prisoner was Incom
municado. Then from somcwhero out of
the deeper darkness beyond, like a rat
frcm Its hole, tho prisoner appeared.
His round fs.ee, fringed by a ring of
beard, waa a perfect picture of frlgh
until he saw that his visitors included
Americans. Till then ho had no way of
knowing that he was not being brought
out to be executed.
A rebel officer spoko sharply to htm
in Spanish, warning him to say nothing.
Tho young man blinked at tho fcoble
ray of light which penetrated from a
dusty pane, and a choking sound came
from Ills throat Then he replied to the
officer that ho understood.
Senor Itomon, explained that Bauch's
cose was still being heard and. that It
is the rule to hold prisoners incommuni
cado until decision la rendored.
Nowhere In Juarez could reporters find
an official to explain adequately tho
charges against the prisoner, but Senor
Ramon said that there was much docu
mentary evidence whldh Beemed to In
criminate him as a spy.
Hollered Him Mexican.
He has worked on Mexican railroads
most of his Ufa and his cautors holloved
him to bo a. Mexican, dcsplto his fair
akin and brown hair, until representations
to tho contrary were made, Mrs. Pat
terson has telegraphed to Now Iberia
for proofs of his birth. Benton's case
Is not without an clement of humor. Ho
Is a Scotchman and known to bo very
outspoken. Last night ho went to General
Villa to protest against tho action of
rebels who tore down a fenco of his
big ranch near Chihuahua and pastured
their horcses on his property.
Ho Insisted that General Villa remove
tho horses and repair the fence. General
Villa's answer was not satisfactory to
Benton, who, indlfferont to the hostllo
surroundings and his unprotected state,
unburdened his mind of a variety 'of
grievances collected against rebels of the
various revolts of tho last three years,
He called Goneral Villa a number of
names, of which "bandit" was one of
the mildest.
General Villa Is sensitive of his record
as an outlaw, which he was for many
years, nnd rose as It to strlko his ac
cuser. Tho latter also waa ready with
his. fists, but bystanders interfered and
Benton was marched off to Jail.

Castillo, the bandit, was brought here
this afternoon by United States troops.
With him wero his brother, his trum
peter and tho la tier's wife, and two In
dlan women. None waa mounted.
The bandit apparently was not averse
to placing himself under the protection
of the United States. His band which
for months has Iiarraased settlers, held
prironers tor ransom, burned, sacked and
stolen, In a career which culminated In
the Cumbre tunnel disaster, iJ scattered
and belloved to be broken.
Since the Cumbre disaster he has
known no rest end seemed on the verga
of nervous breakdown when brought
here, Ocneral Villa's rebels have been
hot on his trail and along the American
border hard-rldlng American troopers
kept sleepless watch. Finally he chose
cepturo by the latter as his fate.
On hts person Lieutenant Ilothweil
found the check for 11.000 given lilm by
W A. Roxby as a ransom. Roxby, an

American, who Is manager of a Mexican

to honor tho check.
Tho troopers nnd their prisoners
camped last night at Las Clcnege, fif
teen miles south of here. Tho trip waa
over tho roughest roads and required 'five
hours.
Castillo was not talkative Ho looked
at his inquisitors out of nioodshot eyes,
but vohemently asserted his innocence of
complicity in tho Cumbro tunnel tragedy.
He said he was a socialist and was con
ducting a separato revolution in order to
