had been thrown.
The other three were found either
in novels, where they had taken
refuge, or in back yards. A thorough
house to house search Is being made
| today and by nightfall the list of dead
should be complete. Four hundred
and fifty or five hundred federals pris-
oners, Cisarmed but all by no means
disconsolate, are being guarded in the
| barracks and cuarel.
| Indeed, more than one of the pris-
oners, including one poor fellow who
had lost his left forearm at Casas
| Grandes, and who received bullet in
| his right arm yesterday, savagely ex-
| pressed their joy over the victory OF
| the Madero forces. Il did not want
| to fight with the federals,'' said the
| lean Visaged little fellow with the
empty sleeve, but they forced me
into the ranks. My sympathies were
with the insurrectos."
No One Allowed to Cross.
General Pascual Orozco, commander
of the rebel forces had blood in his
eyes today as he stood at the interna-
tional bridge and refused to permit any
one from Ell Paso to cross into Juarez,
even though they had passes from Col
Steever, through the American lines
1t appears that General Orozco and his
staff last night were invited to BAN
quet by Mayor Kelly of Ell Paso and
the American troops would not permit
OrOZcO ana MS OInC6rS Cross.
The situation with regard to trans
portation of persons and supplies back
and forth is rapidly becoming aggra-
waited and there was considerable ap-
prehension today that trouble might
be precipitated. Colonel s1teever has
only general instructions from Wash
ington, the authorities there having
withheld specific orders as to how to
deal with the defacto government in
Juarez.
CoDeraI NTadaro and his wife and
General Navarro, the deposed federal
commander, rode about the town early
today in an automobile. Mrs. Madero
fears that disease may be brought on
unless the dead be buried quickly and
orders have been given today for a care
full search of all houses and yards for
bodies that may have been overlooked
yesterday.
Trying to Restore order.
General Madero told an Associated
Press reporter today that many Amer
lean criminals, pickpockets and sus-
picious characters had gotten into
Juarez, giving the impression that they
are insurrectos. He has therefore or
dered, he said. that American secret
service men be allowed to cross into
Juarez and arrest any criminals Whom
they know. Every effort he said, is
being made to restore order.
Stores are guarded closely. In front
of each is an insurrecto his rifle by
his side, but his black eyes peering
from under his broad brimmed SOM
brero at all who are lettering about in
the streets. Saloons are closed ana
much of the liquor has been destroyed
The federal officers today are loud IN
their praise of the treatment they are
receiving at the hands of the insur-
rectos. They are well fed and wen
cared for generally. Aftermath of the
fight of the last three days was heard
on all sides today. Many people thlnk

rendered, but one look at the emacia-
ted, exhausted soldiers their throats
parched from hunger and thirst was
convincing proof to the federal COM
mander that he was saving MS men
from terrible fate. The insurrectos
cut off the water supply early in the
fight and took away all provisions as
they made their way to the federal
stronghold. The federals had made no
preparations for a siege within their
own town.
Next Battle at NOgaleS.
Naco. Mex, May 1.-THE federal
army that evacuated Aqua Prieta yes
terday arrived here last night. 1t is
thought Del Rio will be their next I'M
mediate objective point. Del RIO Is III
tie more than one hours march from
the rich mining camp of Cananea- AT
Del Rio the railroad from Cananea
forks one branch extending to Nogales
and the other to Naco. Inc Irain
which left Nogales, last night had at
tached to it eleven extra cars for the
use of the troops here.
1t is possible that the federal force
may proceed at once to Nogales TO
keep open that important port II TINS
is the purpose of the federal comman-
der, the next serious battle of the war
probably will take place at Nogales'
which is separated from the American
town only by a street 100 feet woe.
There is also probability that the
federals are fastening to assist at tne
protection of Hermosillo reported IN
grave danger of capture by the rebels.
1t is unlikely, however, that the red
erals will be permitted to reach Her
mosillo without engaging the numerous
bands of rebels scattered between
Hermosillo and the border.
Rising of the Yaquis.
Douglas. Ariz. May 1.-THE rising
of the Yaqui Indians who have been
living peacefully on their reservation
for some time but who are making
war on their own account, has furnlsh-
ed a new and disturbing element In the
already acute situation in the state
| of Sonora
/ Americans who arrived yesterday
from Guaymas brought meager details
/ of the Yaqui rising.
! The Indians first demonstration was
against Ortiz which they captured
/ without resistance, looting the seven
| stores in the town run by Ch1nese
and MeXicans, conhScatlng the mer-
/ chandse and pouring the liquors INTO
1 the streets.
Two More Months of War.
New York, May 1.-THE war in Mex
/ leo will last about two months longer,
according to Vasquez Gomez, Madero's
chief adviser at Juarez- Gomez makes
| this statement in a telegram sent to
/ New York as a response to letters OF
congratulation following the rebel vic
! tory yesterday. His telegram says in
part:
! General Diaz has not been frank in
/ his manifesto in regard to his inten-
/ tions of retiring from power. He af-
/ firms that he will leave when his con-
/ science demands it. AS the revolu-
| tionarN marty does not know when that
