Trouble In Juarez Feared.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 10, 1913:
El Paso Perturbed by a Mexican Officer's Loud Talk.
Special to The New York Times.
    EL PASO, Texas, Aug. 9.— In the event of a demonstration in Mexico City tomorrow as the result of ex-Gov. John Lind's arrival, it is feared trouble will occur in Juarez. The officials of this city and the officers in command at Fort Bliss are on the alert to-night for any overt act by Mexicans.
    The people of Juarez, especially the Federals, are angry over the Lind mission. This condition exists in other border ports. It was increased by a speech made by a Federal officer in the Juarez garrison at a banquet given in his honor. He asserted that war with the United States would be preferred by the army to the present struggle, and said a few well-aimed shots into El Paso would bring about "the desired results."
    James Gillispie, an American, cattle buyer, is said to be held for $5,000 ransom by Pancho Villa in Palomas, near his camp at Ascencion. Gillispie went to Sonora to buy cattle and, it is related, was seized by Villa, who threatened to shoot him unless a relative, a banker here, produced the money.
    Col. Juan N. Dozal, Villa's Chief of Staff, was arrested here by Capt. N. Cootes, and is held in Fort Bliss.
    So strong has became the anti-American sentiment in Chihuahua City and State that Americans are bringing their families out in automobiles and on trains. The presence of Japanese among the Federals in Chihuahua has not encouraged the women and children to remain in that State.
