Mexican Revolt Ending.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 17, 1912:
Orozco Evacuates Juarez and is Eager for Peace Terms.
Special to The New York Times.
    WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.— Col. Steever advised the War Department to-day of the movements of several marauding bands of revolutionists supposed to be fragments of Orozco's force, and said that they were evidently mainly bent on getting food and forage. Orozco evacuated Juarez with all his forces at 4 o'clock this morning, leaving only a small guard for the protection of the city from raiders. Col. Steever expresses the opinion that this is the end of Orozco's operations, and that the small bands that are wandering about are composed of men abandoned by the revolutionary leader.
    Orozco took his command south on the Mexican National Railroad in good order. The Government forces are expected to occupy Juarez to-morrow. While the situation is thus clearing in the north and along the international boundary, reports indicate that revolutionary bands are making demonstrations in the region of Hermosillo, San Javier, and Alamos. The few scattering bands in Chihuahua and Sonora are said to be concentrating near Palomas in Chihuahua. At the War Department to-day it was stated that if the Mexican regulars once get into Juarez again every effort will be made to hold the place against the revolutionaries, and the demands of the United States for the protection of the people of El Paso will be met at all hazards.
    There is now no prospect whatever that there will be any necessity for the United States to intervene in Mexico or to cooperate with the Madero Government to put down the revolution, which now seems to be on its last legs and is likely to terminate utterly within a few days. The State Department learns that Orozco has decided to accept the best peace terms he can get.
