Mexican Federal Army Evacuates Ojinaga

On the night of January 10, the Mexican federal army evacuated Ojinaga, the majority crossing the boundary into Texas, and surrendering to the Americans. Columns of rebel cavalry are scouring the surrounding country, rounding up fleeing federals. Twenty-eight hundred fugitive soldiers and about 1,500 civilian refugees are in custody of the United States Army border patrol. The Japanese have landed an armed guard from their battle cruiser, "Idzuma" for the protection of Japan's legation at Mexico City. The incident is known to be the cause of much anxiety to the State, War, and Navy Departments.
