Show mm holds up ' HjFSlPPLIES Forage for Pershing's Army on Track in Juarez; Em- J bargo Unexplained. ' EL PASO, Tex., July 13. Shipment of a trainload of forage consigned over the Mexico Nortli western railway to private individuals in Caeas Grandes, Chihuahua, for use of General J. J. Pershing's expeditionary ex-peditionary command was held up In Juarez tonight upon orders from General Francisco Gonzales, commanding the Car-ranzista Car-ranzista army in northern Chihuahua. General Gonzales said he acted upon instructions in-structions from General Jacinto Trevino In Chihuahua, f Shipments over the Mexican railway for f the American troops in Mexico, which had f been forbidden during the recent crisis, J were only resumed by permission of the j Mexican authorities this week. The mo- I tor supply train from the expeditionary J base at Columbus to the field being prac- fl tically impassable since tiie advent of the 1 rainy season, the concession was regarded n as a vital one, and military authorities here took it as 'an evidence of tlie good will of the Mexican de facto govern- ment. The incident was not generally regarded re-garded as serious, it being believed in I most quarters that negotiations already ,1 under way with Mexico City through f j channels o.ther than the military will clear away any misunderstanding which may I have been responsible for the orders. j Numerous rumors were current 1n El I Paso tonight that the Juarez garrison contemplates an early revolt asainst tiie authority of the do facto government, while others had it that a force of Mexicans Mexi-cans hostile to Carronza has concern- ' trated In the hills a few miles south of the town and is attempting to create a feeling of unrest among the first chief's J adherents. Both General Gonzales and jT Andreas Garcia, Mexican consul at J-Jl L Paso, denied that Ihere was any truth in the rumors. 1 |
