now wish to turn their attention to the
argument of words and public opinion.
1nsurrectos as ConduerorS.
The insurrectos today are the con-
duerors in a town which is the most
important capture OF the revolution,
not only because of the fact that IT is
a port of entry to the United States
and the insure ctos believe that in the
next "a hours food and supplies will
be crossing the line to them unmolested
but because they are now in posses
sion OF about 100000 rounds of am
munition, several machine guns and
field pieces. about 700 Mauser rifles
and enough ammunition belts and 9TH
err warlike ssundries to wage furious
warfare for some time to come.
The town was quite early today. The
inhabitants slept peacefully in their
homes while insurrecto sentries guard
ed the town. Gen. Navarro, who was
paroled with his officers last night.
spent the night in the same house with
Madero.
Though the federal commander has
been given the liberty of the city, he
does not deem it safe to be seen be-
cause there are several insurrectos who
cherish a grudge against him for the
bayoneting Of wounded earlier in the
American Officers In Juarez.
Madero himself said today that many
American criminals pickpockets and
suspicious characters had got into
Juarez. giving the impression that they
are insurrectos. He has therefore or
dered, he said, that American secret
service men be allowed to cross into
Juarez and arrest any criminals whom
they know Every effort. he said, is
being made to restore order.
Stores are being guarded closely In
front of each sits an insurrecto, his
rifle by his side, but his black eyes
peering from under his sn-nDrero at all
loiterers. saloons are closed and most
of the liquor has been destroyed
FederaIs Treated Wen.
The federal officers today are loud
in their praises of the treatment they
are receiving at the hands of the in
surrectos.
MANY people think Gen. Navarro
never should have surrendered, but one
look at the emaciated, exhausted sol
diers, their threats parched from hun
ger and thirst was convincing proof
to the federal commander that he was
saving his men from terrible fate.
The fnsurrectos cut off the water sup
ply early in the fight and took away
all provisions as they made their way
to the federal strongholds. The fed
erals had made no preparations for a
siege within their own town.
Orozeo Has BLOOD In His Eye.
Gen Pascual Orozco. commander of
the rebel forces, had blood in his eye
today as he stood for a time at the
international bridge and refused to
permit anyone from Ell Paso to cross
into Juarez. even though they had per-
mits from Col. Steever through -
American lines. It appears -
