not be weakened, as he did not have
enough troops there to defend El Paso
properly.

telegram to the Nav\ Department to
day. described the conditions at Tux-
pam as satisfactory and under com
plete control of the Mexican Federal
troops.

made public.

strict watch along his outposts to
guard against any suEprise.
As the harassed Federal troops re
treated southward the victorious reb
