Th eecap of th bandit is, how ever, far from being th moat aerioua Item of new which reached tha border. A featur of th graveet Importance wa Injected Into the aituatloo by aub atantial confirmation of tha numerous report received for th past week that th Mexican government troopa were not only failing to co-operate with th American troopa, but.

In th last few day he haa been variously reported by General Gavlra, the Carransa commander at Juarea, at point along a lin reaching north and aouth from Galena to Na- miaulpa. a distance of about 76 mile. By th earn account h ha not been moving steadily aouth, but roving north and east. Th mountainous, eanyon-aolit roadless country in which he is operating adds many mile to th country he baa covered a compared with iu distance on the map. Th reason for th Carransa troopa moving to th border remain unex plained. It Is Impossible even to make a fair estimate of th number of men under General Gavlra at Juere. The targe staff at hi headquarters and th fact that new troopa r arriving dally Indicate that hi fore I a Urge one. Th most conservative estimate place It at SUUU and caicutauona range J rum that point upward to 8000. Every precaution had been taken to prevent th facta being known and moat of th men ar kept out id th town among th hill. Reports from Agua Priet and Ojinaga tell of Mexi can reinforcement reaching those points also, but nothing ia known a to their numbers. Thar is no question that ther Is serious and growing uneasiness in El Paao, which has been sharply accentu ated by th problem which has arisen over tha request of the United State to General Carransa for th us of th Mexican railroad to transport sup plies.
