Juarez. May 1.-THE insurrectos
announced their determination today
not only to hold the captured city OF
Juarez against any attack by the
Mexican government troops, but to
prevent fight in this vicinity if pos
sible. Plans were laid at the insur.
rector headquarters today for force
OF several hundred men to march
south to meet Gen. Rabaga, the fed
eral leader, who is reported to be on
his way from Chihuagua with a good
sized army. The rebels already have
about 300 men at Casas Grandes and
probably will open fire on Ribago
when he arrives there.
The city was quiet for the first time
in several days. The inhabitants slept
peacefully in their homes while the
insurrecto sentries stood guard.
Gen. Navarro, the captured federal
head, who was paroled with his off,
GERS last night. spent the night at the
same house with Gen. Francisco l.
Madero, Jr., the head of the trium-
phant rebels. Though the federal COM
mander now has been given the liberty
of the city he does not deem ii safe
to be seen much about town because
there is said to be some insurrectos
who cherish grudge against him for
the alleged bayoneting Of the wounded
in their battles of the revolution. The
rebel officers have given strict orders
not to harm any of the paroled fed
erals.
The insurrectos are now in posses
sion Of about 100000 rounds of am
munition, several machine guns and
field pieces, about 700 rifles and
enough ammunition belts and other
warlike sundries to wage furious
warfare for some time to come.
Though flushed with victory the
rebel leaders are hoping that the
bloody battle of Juarez will be the
last chapter of the military side of
the revolution.
The federal officers are being we'll
fed and cared fo.. Many persons here
thinh tnat Gen. Navarro never should
have surrendered, but one look at the
emaniated. exhausted soldiers, their
throats parched from hunger and
thirst, was convincing proof to the
federal commander that he was saving
his ME nfrom terrible fate. The in
surrectos cut off the water supply
early in the fight and took away all
the provisions as they made their way
to the federal stronghold. The feder-
ais had made no preparations for q
seige within their own town.
Officer Sore.
Gen. Pascual Orozco, commander of
the rebel forces. had blood in his eye
as he stood at the international bridge
and refused to permit any one from
though they had passes from Col.
Steever through the American lines.
1t appears that Gen. Orozco and his
staff last night were invited to ban
quet by Mayor Kelly of Ell Paso and
the American troops would not permit
Orozco and his officers to cross.
The situation with regard to the
passage Of persons and supplies back
and forth is rapidly becoming aggra-
waited and there was considerable ap-
prehension today that trouble might
be precipitated.
All Quiet.
Tijuana, Lower California, May IL
Conditions in Tijuana are nearly nor
NAL today, except FOR the presence of
an unusual number of heavily armed
men, nine-tenths of whom are Ameri-
cans. Gen. Pryce has made no state
ment as yet regarding the move south
ward and none is expected until he
prepares to advance on Ensenada.
Naco, Mexico, May 1.-THE federal
army that evacuated Aqua Prieta
yesterday arrived here last night. 1t
is thought Del Rio will be their next
immediate objective point. Del Rio
is a little more than one hours
march from the rich mining camp of
Cananea.
The train which left Nogales last
night had attached to 1t eleven extra
cars for the use of the troops. 1t is
possible the federals may proceed at
once to Nogales. If this is the pur-
pose of the federal commander, the
next serious battle of war probably
will take place at Nogales. which is
separated from the American town
only by street 100 feet wide.
Getting Ready.
Mexico City, May 1.-THE men,
bers Of the diplomatic corps who are
residents of Mexico City today met in
