Delayed Attack Motivated by Inland Fighting
Rebel forces led by General Oroxio near Flores ranch southeast of Juarez await reinforcements before attacking the city Americana. Blanco’s delay due to a clash with the eighteenth federal Infantry near Casas Grandes is cited as the reason for not striking sooner. Reports from Mazatlan say a port defense plan includes a warship to guard the harbor.

Both chambers reconvened later that day.

Attorneys Fight Tribal Provisions In Indian Affairs Hearing
Washington February hearings before the house committee on Indian affairs drew sharp objections from tribal attorneys to the interior department bill abolishing tribal offices for the Five Civilized Tribes. Lawyers argued lands should first be sold and titles revert only if tribes dissolve, citing treaties and railroad land concessions. The bill seeks to remove tribal officers and abolish tribal governments, with the Senate already approving a similar measure stating tribal existence ends June 30, 1912.
