ary forces and federals at uarez
is raging today. The entire rebel
army broke camp during the night
and this morning we're swarming
into town. Privates Emile Gracia
and Cassidy of the American legion
with the insurrectos, who came to
III Paso this morning to get food,
stated that already fifteen Aneri-
cans we're killed and the insurrecto
loss would probably reach a hum
dred and fifty killed and wounded.
The federals' loss is more than
double that.
Cassidy said General Villareal
had arrived from Oiinaga with rein
iorcements and two pieces Of art'l-
lery.
Prospects Of rebel success are
dependent upon the ability OF the
federals to use their twelve ma
chine guns in the town.
General Madero admitted today
he had given consent to a general
attack, but declared the federals
had opened FIRE and the men who
were reported as revolving against
him had pursued the federals of
their own accord and could not re-
liuquish their position.
Madero said he made effort to
arrange an armistice last night, but
failed because of the progress the
progress the attack already had
made. All the leaders had been
acting on Madero's orders.
General Navarro would have
consented to an armistice if the re-
bells had evacuated the town, but
the rebel chief by that time had
given orders for an attack primari-
ly to reinforce two hundred brave
fellows who had forced their way
into Juarez despite federal trench
es and bar ricades.
Bullets have been pouring into
FL Paso and American troops are
keeping sightseers three blocks
awav from the river.
The casualties OF the insdrrectos
and lederals are not known tonight
but FIVE people on the American
side OF the line we're killed and at
least twelve wounded. Thousands
Of people in III Paso dotted roof
tops or lined the river bank in di-
rect line of the FIRE Colpnel

cavalry protested to both armies
against the FIRE into American ter
ritory and it lessened considerably
thereafter. Nearly a thousand
American troops we're massed on
the border keeping the crowds back
and ready to respond to any orders
from Washington.

ad Iuarez, the federal base OF op-
erations in northern Mexico and

pal port of entry into the United

flag over the barracks OF Juarez
shortly after noon today, and the
surrender OF the federal command
er, General Navarro and his en-
tire staff, together with what re-
mained of the federal garrison Of
800 men, to Colonel Garibaldi, the
two days battle ended
The surrender, which was un-
conditional, made the victory OF
the revolutionists under General
Francisco |. Madero, lr., complete
But the victory was not secured
witout terrible loss OF lie on the
battlefield, as well as on the Amer
lean side OF the line. The dead
may number 200, while upwards Of
900 we're wounded, many fatally.

Following the suspension OF hos
ulities this afternoon, scores Of
surgeons from I'll Paso, their Red
Cross insignia glaring m the sun
light crossed the river and began
to treat the wounded iederals and
insurrectos alike.
