Citlaen of United States, Particu larly In Durangt, Are) Vic tim of Mexican. EL. PASO. Tax, April it. One Of the very serious situations In Northern Mexico at present Is the brigandage In connection with the revolutionary movement. In several Instances bands operating as revolutionists have been committing depredatlone on the prop erty of Americans, other foreigners and natives without regard to Its character or ownership. This Is particularly true In Durango. where Luis Mora and a band of men have been robbing the mines of Amer icana Last week American Consular Agent Caruthers at Torreon received a deputation of American mining men from the state and accompanied them to the Mexican Oeneral commanding the district to protest against the out rages. Mines have been visited almost dally, some of them two or three times In a week, the places robbed and the offi cials and employes Ill-treated. A big plantation near Torreon be longing to St. Louis men was robbed and the crops practically destroyed. The manager was shot twice, appar ently because he did not have any money to give to the bandits. An American mining man In Elnaloa, Just over the line from Durango, lost a prospecting outfit. Including his mules, last week and almost starved before he could reach a place where he could obtain food. When the In surrection first opened the lnsurrectos took horses, food and guns and gave receipts for them, signed in the name of the revolutionary party. Now such articles are merely confiscated. No re ceipts are given. Scarcely anywhere In Northern Mex ico Is there any law or order. Troops are stationed only In the larger towns. The rest of the country Is left unpro tected and robbers operate almost under the eyes of the authorities. The Soto family, rich and prosperous, was driven last week from a ranch near Parrel because its members pro tested when a band ot horses and cat tle waa taken. The ranch was then taken aa the headquarters of the raid ers. All thee robbers none as Ineur- rectos, and while many of them are shot on their depredations, more often tbey escape.
