/. Madero, jr., head Of the triumphant
rebels.
Though the federal commander now
has been given the liberty Of the city
he does not deem it safe to be seen
| much about town because there Is said
| TO be some insurrectos who cherished
grudge against him for the alleged
bayoneting of wounded in other bat
! ties Of the revolution. The rebel of
ficers have given strict orders not TO
harm any OF the paroled federals.
Rebels Made Big Haul.
The insurrectos are now in possess
sion Of about 10000 rounds OF am
munition, several machine guns aud
! field pieces. about 700 rifles and enough
, ammunition, balls and other warlike
sundries TO wage a furious warfare
for some time to come. Though flush
ed with victory, the rebel leaders are
hoping that the bloody battle of Juarez
will be the last chapter Of the MILF
tary side Of the sevolution.
The federal officers are being well
fed and cared for. Many persons here
think that General Navarro never
should have surrendered. but one look
at the emaciated. exhausted soldiers,
with their threats parched from hun
ger and thirst, was convincing proof
to the federal commander that he was
saving his men from terrible fate.
The insurrectos cut off the water
supply early In the fight and took away
all provisions and they made their way
to the federal strongholds. The fed
erals had made no preparations for a
siege within their own town.
