PLENTY OF ARMS
FOR INSURRECTOS
Guns Captured From the
Federals Are Put to
Use BY Rebels.

Work OF sorting the armament cap
tured with the fall of Juarez is nearly
completed. Most of the rifles rest on
the shoulders of recruits. and Ma
dero's army has swelled far over the
5000 mark
Captured ammunition has been
sorted and stored. while the soldiers
Mauser rifles and the various makes
used by the federal volunteers have
been carefully dealt out to selected re-
cruits. One of the machine guns cap
tured was tested Saturday and found
in good working order. The other
machine gun was destroyed in the
fight, but will be repaired at once.
The most valuable arms are the two
mortars, both in working order. The
guns are Of the Mondragon type, and
declared by many army men to be far
superior to any similar cannon en-
ployed by the United States army. The
guns, of the 80. m. m. type, are easily
carried, and particularly effective and
sure in operation. They can be oper-
ated at almost any angle, and throw
an explosive shell up to 5000 yards.
They can be carried on three mules.
The United States army has nothing
to equal them except guns that re-
quire four horses to handle.

MEXICAN MONEY Is
DRUG ON MARKET
Ell Paso Banks Cut the Price
to 10 Cents and Do Not
Want It.

FL Paso banks are being cluttered
up with Mexican money. Considerable
of it appears to be coming into the
city and none going out. so that the
banks have cut the price to 40 cents
from 4912 cents, and the officials say
they do not want it at any price if it
can be helped
Francisco I. Madero, provisional
president Of Mexico, has agreed to
take the Mexican money in payment
of customs duties in Juarez when he
opens the customs house, and this
will relieve the situation somewhat.
The clearing house held a special
meeting Sunday to consider the situa-
ton regarding the handling of Next
can money. 1t was decided not to
agree upon any concerted action or to
fix definite price for the Mexican
currency at this time, allowing each
bank to govern its own action In the

The great influx of Mexican cur
rency has embarrassed the local bank
ers. Ordinarily there is demand for
the Mexican currency equal TO the
supply. Just now the demand is en-
tirely cut off, but the supply is great
er than it has ever been. Local banks
are paying As cents gold on the dol
lar for Mexican money and are taking
no more OF it than necessary to ac-
commodatee their clients.

has refused shipments of money into

SONORA REBELS ARE
FLYING RED FLAG
Nogales Well Fortified, But
Surrounded-Many So
nora Towns Fall.

Nogales, Mexico, May 15-The ar
rival here Sunday of the federal force
that evacuated Cananea has swelled the
garrison to $50 men.
Asked whether they would make a
stand here against the rebels, Col
Ojeda, the federal commander. replied:
I'VE are ordered to fight"
With five machine guns, the federals
are IN shape to put up good defence.
Rebels flying a red flag. and under
the command of Francisco Reina, have
taken Sasalbe southwest of Arfvaca,
on the American border.
The band numbers 200 and the lead
ers are said to have come from Lower
California. In this force are Russians
japanese, Americans and Californians
(Mexican) soldiers.
Many Towns Held by Rebels.
Accurate reports from many points
south Of Nogales indicate that rebel
bands will soon hold every city. town
and mining camp between Hermosillo
and Nogales.
At Altar yesterday so federals were
hard pressed by 400 insurreetos. This
town is the historic capital Of the IA
nous Gold Placer district OF the same
name. that has been worked for zoo
years.
Tubularia has been captured by
large force of rebels, and among the,
prisoners taken was Diego Moreno, for
mer marshal of Nogales. Two Ameri-
cans fleeing from this section in an
automobile were made prisoners by
this band, but subsequently released
Among the numerous bands OF insur-
rectos are many Pima indians who
have had much military experience in
the federal army, having been employed
for many years by the government
against the Yaquis.
FederaIs Bottled Up.
The federal force under Col Reynaldo
Diaz, which is trying TO reach Hermo-
silIo, to reinforce the weak garrison
of that important city, is bottled up at
Llanos, the first station south Of
Santa Ana. Bridges have been burned
north and south, and the surrounding
country is filled with rebel bands,
which. when combined. far outnumber
the federal command.
The use OF his machine guns upon
Santa Ana, as his train passed through
the town Saturday, which resulted in
the fatal wounding Of two women and
less serious injury TO other non-eom-
batants. has had the effect of increas-
ing rebel sentiment. It is probable
that Col. Diaz believed that the rebels
were in possession of the town and
used the machine guns to prevent
possible assault.

RABAGO REPORTED
COMING FROM
SOUTH

Lieut.. Col, Villa and other commanders
Lieut. Col Villa and other commanders
He has resigned from actual command
OF his men, and there is an unexplained
side of the affair. The Italian soldier to
whom Gen. Navarro surrendered, COM
manded $50 men. who now are led by
Nal Raoul Madero. Col. Garibaldi re-
mains on Madero's staff, and declares
that he is at complete disposition of the
service. He declines to comment on his
resignation as an actual commander,
saying that he may make a statement
at another time.
Insurrecfos Hold Large Area.
Reports from Herald correspondent
who came in today along the line of
the Mexican National railway. indicate
that the Maderists are in great force
all down the line, and that 1sabago's
chances of coming through are small.
There are 500 Maderistas at Ahumada,
and at other points down the line there
are good forces. If Rabago does move,
which no one expects, he may DE per-
mitted to come as far as Ahumada,
where he viii certainly be stopped, it
is declared by the forces there and in
the neighborhood as Scll as by REIN
forcements from Juarez.
Yesterday the Maderistas sent down
a push car loaded with provisions from
Juarez for the garrison at Ahumada
and the men said that the railroad
would take the next provisions needed
at Ahumada. This evidently indicates
that the railroad is to be repaire out
of Juarez into the region held by the
insurrectos. Provisions are getting very
scarce in the Ahumada region.
Navarro IntercedeS With Officers.
Gen. Navarro. still considering him
self a prisoner of war, though concealed
in FL Paso, took action yesterday which
will partially conteract the strong feel
ing against him. His agent in an auto
noble spent the entire Gay locating the
dozen old federal officers who had
broken their honor paroles and fled to
FL Paso. Navarro ordered, through his
agent, that each return to Juarez and
accept thes honorable destines of war.
The aged federal general is credited
with sincerity in this action.
