El Paso, Texas,, Nov. 22. Two Fed-, eral troop trains;; en route from Chi huahua to Juarez, were blown up at Rancheria, 66 miles south of Juarez, this afternoon . by dynamite mines placed along the railroad track by .the rebels. This was the statement given out tonight by General Francisco Villa, who returned to Juarez from, Ranch eria where his troops are awaiting the Federals' approach. t He said there were 1.500 Federals on the train de stroyed and that the loss of life yds enormous. The rebels assert that they captured one of the trains. , .- Villa returned to Juarez, fearirig that Federals had sent a flanking-' col umn to Gaudalope. a border town east of Juarez, with the intention qf send ing his force to Juarez to attack the town. ; The main body of General Francisco Villa's forces, which left Juarez early this morning to meet a Federal force, reported to number about six thousand men, advancing from Chihuahua to give battle to Villa's rebels, is re ported tonight to be about 40 miles south of the border, but so far the im pending battle between the two forces has not been started. At rebel head quarters in Juarez it was reported to night that a few shots were exchang ed between the advance guards of the two armies late this afternoon but both sides retired awaiting the bring ing up of the main bodies of troops. Soldiers Reinforced. Washington, November 22. Rein forcement of the American troops on the Mexican frontier was a develop ment today relating to the Mexican problem, but this movement of troops was declared to be not at all alarming by official statement issued in explana tion. - . ' W H It was said at the War Department that one of two infantry . regiments is to be ordered immediately to Fort Bliss near El Paso, for .the purpose of freeing one of the cavalry regiments now stationed at that - forUior . active duty along the. International, line iir the execution of neutrality? laws; . ' - The choice will-fall ttpdn the 16th Infantry now at the Presidio, San Francisco, or the 20th Infantry, sta-. ticned at Fort Douglass, - hear v Salt Lake City,. . To serve as a garrison and defend the city of El Paso from any possible attack from the south of the line or to police the city In case of-rioting, it was said that the infantry organiza tion would be as servicable as the un mounted soldiers. On the other hand, not being as mobile, the infantry could scarcely fill the place of cavalry on the border. The net result of the order is to increase by a full regiment the force of American troops available along the border. That their services may. be needed to preserve order was asserted by members of the - Texas Congres sional delegation, and Secretary Garri son yielded to their appeals when he learned through press dispatches that the Federal leaders were again , ap proaching Juarez, .' opposite El Paso and that the rebel general, Villa, who only recently had captured that town, had gone forth to get the Federals in battle. Reports of threatened disor ders near Laredo, far to the east of El Paso, also reached the War Depart ment, but General Bliss informed the Washington officials that he had dis patched another squadron of the Third Cavalry' from Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, to reinforce r the; quadron already there. ". ' ' Apprehension - Allayed. - v With the feeling of apprehension : as 10 the safety of the oil tanks near Tuxpam allayed by pledges from rebel leaders that there would be violation of property rights there,- .navy offl ials were considerably relieved today. It was expected that one of the: two Eritish armored cruisers from Bar oadoes would put in an appearance at Tampico almost Immediately, and apparently it was felt safe to withdraw the battleship New Hampshire from Tuxpam, particularly as the battleship Louisiana remains in that, neighbor hood to look after foreign interests. With the removal of all misunder standing as to the reasons for the visit of the British ships to the- oil coast, it was felt that the lines of protection against anarchy; would be strengthen ed materially. VThere has been .fear that an attempt might be made to fire the great oil tanks wherein are stored nearly fifteen million barrels of pe troleum. - ' Unofficial advices from government agents in the sections of Mexico where Constitutionalists are, operating, sug gest a revival of a plan otseek recog nition from the United States of -a defacto government claiming jurisdic tion by right of possession; the estabv lishment of a capital and of an. organ ized administration In all that part, of Mexico north of a line drawn about rtu-e west from Tuxpam or Tampico.

Bryan Issues Statement. ; Secretary Bryan Issued this state ment relative to Mexico City dis patches about the movement of Brit ish warships to Mexico i 'The statement - published this " orning to the effect that the State Department protested against the ac tion of Great Britain in sending war vessels to Mexican waters is abso lutely false. And in denying the. state ment I desire to add & condemnation of the publication of statements of thft kind, without -taking time to in quire into their truth v or: falsity.; -A denial cannot reach-all' who read ' the statement nor can it prevent the dis cussion and editorial comments : that are predicated on the false statement.

'""Mexican Newspapers' Views. - Mexico City, November 23 . News papers under, government domination today published long articles regarding the: alleged intention of the United States to recognize Provisional President- Huerta in the near future. El Independente had a seven-column head line reading: . "Huerta will be recognized by the "American government. The special envoy of President Wilson able to prove anarchy was . reigning in the camp of the rebels of the North." El Diaro similarly displayed an item stating that Secretary of State Bryan had: already signed a communication recognizing Huerta. . El Independente relates that the failure' of the conference between Wil liam Bayard Hal and Carranza was due to the conviction by President Wilson that the rebel chief could not give assurances for the safety of the lives and property of foreigners. The newspaper continues: "President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan, after listening to the re port of their envoy, decided that Pro visional President Huerta was the only man capable of dominating the sit uation." , Tiie -cnamber of Deputies completed the details of organization tonight, ap pointing House committees. ' In the lobbies and at the National Palace the idea prevailed that Presi dent Huerta is fixed in his determina tion to permit the new Congress to continue, and is planning to carry out his programme for pacification of the country.
