EL PASO. TEXAS, Sept. 10.—Con tnderable relief wa» felt along the Mex. F»n bonder today when It became known that a mutiny had broken out tn the army of General Orozco, the rebel leader. Hundreds have deserted and during the past 24 hours a large number have flocked Into El Paso. Indications are that If the desertions continue Orozco will be without an army and will have to surrender or flee. Such an outcome would help the Federal government immensely and probably avert the danger of United States Intervention, as President Ma dero would be able to divide the army pursuing Orozco and send smaller de tachments after the Isolated bands menacing Americans. The desertions from Orozco are not confined to privates, but Include some of his trusted lieutenants. Among these are Santiago Mestas, former mayor, and Alvino Tejo, former chief of police of Juarez under the rebel government. The investigation of Senator Wil liam Alden Smith of .the border condi tions continues. Senator A. B. Fall will return here tomorrow from Los Ange les to assist. MME. RABINOFF. YOUNG PRIMA DONNA.
