Not only because of the fact that il
is a port of entry to the United
States-and the insurrectos believe
that in the next twenty-four hours
food and supplies will be crossing
the line to them unmolested-but be-
cause they are now in possession
of about 100000 rounds of ammuni-
ton, several machine guns and
heavy field pieces, about 700 Mausel
rifles and enough ammunition belts
and other warlike sundries to wage
furious warfare for some time to
come
The border town was quiet today.
The inhabitants slept peacefully in
their homes last night, while insur-
recto sentrges guarded the town. Gen.
eral Juan Navarro, who was paroled
with his officers last night, spent the
night in the same house with Gen
eral Madero. Though the federal com
mander now has been given the
liberty of the city, he does not deem
it safe to be seen much about town
because there are said to be several
insurrectos who cherish a grudge
against him for alleged bayoneting of
the wounded in other battles of the
revolution
General Madero told an Associated
Press reporter today that many
American criminals, pickpockets and |
suspicious characters, had gotten in
to Juarez, giving the impression that |
they are insurrectos. He has there
fore ordered, he said, that American
secret service men be allowed to cross
nto Juarez and arrest any criminals
who they know. Every effort, he
said, is being made to restore and
preserve order. Stores are beirg

The insurrectos today did honor to
he memory of Colonel Tamborel the
ederal leader killed in the two days T
attle, by escorting his body to the
emetery and sounding taps over his
