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 recommendation coached in the strong est terms, urging that atepa be taken to disarm ail Mexicans along me ooraer. taking tho right of forcible entry and aearch. At necessary, lp to the present 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 la no supposition hero that any attack would be made en Kl Paao from tha other aide of the river, but there la the greatest apprehension that an outbreak ca the one side would Inevitably be fol lowed by an outbreak on the other.

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.

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.

It was feared that one of hla earlier movea would be tha cutting of tha North western railroad, over which General Funston hopes to receive permission to move auppllea to tha American troops. now almost MO miles Into Mexico. To prevent thla move General Funaton la powerless, and It la doubted If Carransa's troops are In position to oppose Herrera, Reporta at headquarters that General Gavlra's garrison at Juares waa about to revolt, and that the troops at Torren were manlfealng disaffection, were re garded with apprehension at the fort.
