"Oroseo, excited by the victory. prob
ably from the adulation and bad ad-
ice of persons interested In causing
dlsunion among us. committed a fault
which fortunately had no consequent
ces.
HE complained that the troops did
not have sufficient provisions and
wanted to place the fault upon the per-
sons designated by me to provision
the army; but the truth is that In the
storehouses we have more than
enough provisions so the fault is with
the provider of his corps, who has
not attended to the compliance with
his duty.
Army Subordinate to Civil Officers.
HE told me also that he. did not
llke the persons whom had designat-
ed as cabinet officers, but, l answer
ed that it was not he who should tell
me whom l should appoint.
There being present q considerable
number of soldiers at the place where
we met ii appeared to me opportune
TO address them and explain to them
what was transplrng. They all show
ed that they were well disposed to
concord, and in order to terminate
the small and disagreeable incident.
before them Orosco and | clasped
hands and forgot everything. as l took
into account that although it was true
that he had just committed fault,
on the other hand he had given great
service to the country.
Disa2recable Incident Closed.
This incident in itself disagreeable,
has furnished me with one more data
to assure me that | can count on my
soldiers in any case whatever, and
that the officers, although they may go
astray for moment, never attempt to
dlsobey my orders.
Navarro Released on Parole.
"As feared that some ill-advised
soldiers might commit an outrage
against General Navarro, took him
from the beginning to my house; but
as | could not be at his side constantly
and with what passed | began to fear
that he would be injured in my alb
sence. In order to avoid it l took him
personally to the bank of the river so
that he might pass, over to American
territory, where he continues as my
prisoner of war, under his word OF
honor.
I'm honor Of Orosco should say
that he proposed tome that we should
act in this manner from the beginning,
and even Villa himself, when | told
him of my intention to grant Navarro
his life, told me with all submission
that whatever / did was well done.
Consequently it is not true that any
OF the officers have demanded his
life of me, rs not even the soldiers
have attempted to do it. although
have heard that here and there some
one expressed that opinion; but It Is
not the general desire of my soldiers,
who are brave in battle and magnan-
imous In victory. (Signed)
"FRANCISCO |. MADERo."
