The insurrectos have but little pro-

and all were IN need OF tobacco. Much
food was taken to them by both Amer

anxiously accepted all Of T.
The insurrectos are very fond OF hav-
ing their pictures taken, but always IN
sist on posing for them. being sverse
to snapshots that are not expected.
Many photographs were taken By vis-
iting Americans Friday
During the afternoon and evening the
men stood along the river bank and
caught oranges, 1oaves OF bread and
bottles OF soda water which Americans
threw across the stream and many Of
the insurrectos walked into the river
to get bottles which fell short or the

At dusk the lighting OF campfires
commenced and nearly 40 OF them were
seen burning along the banks and In
the arroyos. The northernmost were To-
Gated right along the river bank, the
line Of camp fires extending from the
smelter to a ranch house directly op-
posite the county hospital where 150
men were camped.
The campfires were allowed to die
down about II o'clock and the men went
to sleep. but they were up at daybreak
when the bugle was sounded and all
went to the river to perform their ablu-
tions- They took their stock TO water
and also the goats and the few sheep
which they have for food.
Plenty OF Arms.
Many of the insurrectOs are well
armed and have plenty OF ammunition.
Several Of them have three and even
four belts OF cartridges. One boy had
q rifle. six shooter, a knife and a
saber. the latter once the property Of a
Mexican federal cavalryman. IN order
to pose for a photograph he unsheathed
the saber and hung the scaobard on
one OF TIE cartridge belts strung across
his shoulder, while he held the saber
in the air.
Americans in AUTOMOBILES and car
riages still crowd along the river bank
while others make the journey to that
point in street cars or on foot and the
county road Is crowded constantly
