TROUBLE IN THE CAMP
fGate CITY Leased Wire Service 1

Juan j. Navarro, erstwhile federal
commander at Juarez, a fugative in
+ II Paso, whence he was helped by
Francisco l. Madero, Juarez was com
paratively quiet tonight after the
most exciting day 1t has had since the
city fell into the hands of the insurg-
ent troops.
Not only was Navarro compelled to
flee to escape execution at the hands
Of the troops CT General Orozco and
Col. Itilla, but Madero himself was
arrested and made the victim of a
little "gunplay' on the part of his
chief fof staff. General Pascual Orozco.
Despite the reports of a serious
breach in the rebel ranks, Madero to-
night denied that he had been arrest
ed or that there had been any serious
differences whatever. Navarro es-
capped from .Juarez at three p. m. when
Madero himself took the general to
the Rio Grande In an automobile,
furnished him with horse and in
structed him to get to the American
side as fast as possible, or his life
would not be worth a pin. Navarro
rode his horse into the river at shall
low point at three o'clock and at four
had reached the American side and
was seen in one of the principal stores
In El Paso. Few Of the rebels were
aware of the flight of Navarro and
the assistance given him by Madero
In making his get away but there
is no apparent resentment tonight.
Orozco seemed little concerned to-
night with Maderos action and spent
most Of his time issuing passes to
persons desiring to pass to Ell Paso.
Various versions OF the trouble in the
lnsurgent camp today are current but
the one generally credited is this:
Orozco gathered one hundred of his
men heavily armed and marched to
Maderos headquarters where he for
mally demanded money and food for
MS troops. They were not forthcom-
ing and Orozco placed Madero under
arrest but soon released him, as this
act did not meet with favor in the eyes
" .ne men. Then Orozco demanded

the men and the provisional president
