The future of the army was said to depend upon the na- iture of responses to ‘urgent demands ‘for money sent to Mexico City. _ General Mercado himself, before evacuating Chihuahua and thus turn- ing it over to the rebels, gave as one Teason for his act the lack of money with which to pay his troops. The ap- pearance of his financial agents on the American side soon after the ar- rival of the troops at Ojinaga, and the fact that General Ynez Salazar and other officers at once communicated with Mexico City, caused no surprise to American army officials. The United States troops here, re- inforced by other troops along the border in preparation for an emer- gency, were informed of the plans of the Mexican troops to rush across the border. Rebel agents who went into Ojinaga also reported the need of reprovision- ing the army was apparent and unless this could be done at once the troops would be insufficiently provided against a possible rebel attack, It “was thought that General Villa, who <recently occupied Chihuahua, would soon prepare for a pursuit'of the fed- erals.
