Blanco has refused to send reinforcements to General Orozco, who leads the force threatening Juarez, Orozco and Blanco are at enmity owing to personal quarrels. Ciudad ' Juarez, a town of 7000 or 8000 inhabitants, is an important Customs station on the Mexican bank of the Rio Grande, m the State of Chihuahua, and opposite El Paso, Texas. The town was formerly known as Paso el Norte. It is on the Mexican Central Railway, 1223 miles from Mexico City. It was reported several days ago that the insurgents had invested Juarez, fixing Sunday as the date for capture, but the arrival of a train load of Federal troops from the south led to a diversion. The rebels ditched the train, many men being- killed ; but the troops rallied and attacked the rebels, who were driven off, both sides losing heavily.
