 At present I cannot set them free. as they have no means of subsistence which would be dangerous.

Juarez Battle Not Over

Thus according to popular ana oHlcial opinions, the issue at Juarez remains to be fought out, probably with bullets; possibly with the re-opening of peace 1e- gotiations.
 In the general discussion tonight there was a disposition to dismiss the border situation from consideration for mo- ment and to consider today's triumph with reference to the unrest in other parts or the country.
 leading general it is generally conceded, cannot but stir the martial ardor and the ambition of those bands whose oper- atons thus far have been purely local to their own neighborhoods
 The rebels have taken the state or Chihuahua by force of arms; they have long controlled the greater part Of So- nora. and in the last two months have increased in strength by leaps and bounds in Coahuila Durango Is generally con ceded to the rebels, and Zacatecas Is overrun with them. In Aguas Calientes armed revolutionists outnumber the red erals To the south of the capital lies the menace of the four Figueroa broth CTS, the most powerful of whom, with 800 followers, has been awaiting the re- suit of Madero's peace negotiations with the government. Recently he stated that he would be guided for peace or war by Madero.
 No word has been received from him since the fighting at Juarez began.
 Besides this force vague estimates nave 1t that there are anywhere from 5000 to 10000 scantlly equipped additional forces waiting to be organized into fighting force by the Figueroas for an attack on this city. The Figueroas claim that WOo of their followers are armed. Tn the last few days belief has sprung LID that the federal force in this citiy does not come within 50 per cent or the strength which has been credited to 1t. In many minds there Is doubt as to the loyalty of many of these troops should revolutionary victories continue. Sew eral Mexican officers, in private conver- sa ation with American friends, have given tongue to this fear A body of rebels this morning occupied a without resistence Tepectlixco. small | town in the federal district near the Morelos state line.
 The government today cancelled an or der for a rock crusher which was to have been installed by private individuals kin connection with the paving of the 1 streets about the Zocolo.
 | The reason for the cancellation was that tue government did not care to have a ready supply of missiles or barricade material on hand in the streets In case of an uprising in the city. The stone Is being removed.

Cabinet Meeting

Among higher government officials news dispatches which have invariably been many hours ahead of official advices from the Mexican consul at El Paso, and which have been much more accurate, were &C., cepted with reluctance as truthful. Notice was sent to the newspapers that a cabinet papers to send reports to the palsce. Within the portals of this edif1ce, with a great show of confidence, they were given col.=s of belated dispatches from the consul at Fl Paso.
 There were two of these, one received at 2 D. m and the other half an hour later, both stating that the federals still held their own at Juarez. AS a contradic- tion to press reports the messages speed fly failed, when, by dint of cross-exami- nation 1t was learned they had been filed before the surrender.
 Six months ago the malleable Spanish press would have printed the telegrams in their biggest type. It is significant of the changed conditions that not a rews- paper tonight has published them.
 The general situation Tn It's increased gravity furnished solemn subject for tonights cabinet meeting and one for the liveliest debate in the cafes and sa- 1oons With Juarez In the hands of Gen. eral Madero, the task of General Rabago, sent north from Chihuahua with 800 men to the relief of Navarro, becomes more difficult If 1t proves true that some of Navarros force escaped after exrending their ammunition, 1t Is probable. as viewed here, that they will join forces with General Rabago.

Mexico City Admits Juarez Battle Is Big Rebel
 Victory
CABINET MEETING
 HASTILY CALLED
Complete Surrender of Navarro Was a Surprise, But to Most of the People It Was Not
 Disappointment

Mexico City. May 1o.-The . 2, one in the capital tonight, not w e official ban of silence, who doe a Q 4dmit that the capture of Juarez as~ revolution ists adds immense py o'o thesfag or the revolution and f S a moral factor it is bound greg o 2, augment the strength of the 9 o.to cause
 The war began November and Gen eral Navarro took the field in western Chihuahua. Skirinisn followed skirmish and ambush followed ambush with no ap- parent advantage to either side. It has been fight of the insurrectos led at first by Orozco and later by Madero against Navarro The net result of the long cam paign has been that the federal force was divided and that Navarro's diminished command was caught at Juarez and de- cisively beaten.
 Navarro was not accounted brilliant but was given credit for bravery and de- termination. Correctly or not he was quoted in this city as having assured the president that he would die rather than surrender No one person in ten believed he would hold his position in the adobe village on the south bank of the Rio Grande. News that he had surrendered. therefore came as a surprise, but it Is generally admitted not as a disappoint- ment to 90 per cent of the people.
