Admits it is revolution

Mexican Consul at El Paso telegraphs to United States Marshal Nolte for more protection.

Special Telegram to the Express.

El Paso, Texas, june 27.-For the first time since the revolutionary outbreaks in Mexico a Mexican official today admitted that it was believed a revolution was being formed here. A. V. Lomeli, Mexican consul in El Paso, telegraphed United States Marshal Eugene Nolte at San Antonio asking that more deputies be placed in El Paso to enforce the neutrality laws.

It is believed here that the house raided Thursday was the headquarters for the revolutionary movement and that those in charge here have been directing their dupes in Mexico.

Immediately after the filling of Lomeli's telegram to Nolte, J. M. Ruiz, who was arrested after the raid Thursday and who has been held at the police station, was arrested by the Federal Government on the charge of violating the neutrality laws and was committed to jail in default of $1000 ball. The Mexicans against whom charges have been made in the Federal Court and who have had their preliminary hearings set for Monday are Leocardio Trevino, P. G. Silva, B. G. Silva, J. M. Ramirez, Lauro Aguirre and J. M. Ruiz. Aguirre who is editor of La Fauna Social here, is the only one who has given bond.
