The cars were loaned TO them by Wash

The real value of the militia of the

1t is the intention of the department
to call upon the militia in various quar-

to rush it into the field for emer-

Prisoners Set Free.

Happiest among those who were
about the streets were the prisoners
liberated from the Jail during the day.
Many of them claim to have been in
nocent of any wrongdoing.
James Monaghan, whose address is
1909 Barring street. Philadelphia, Pa,
a student in Swartmore college, who
went sightseeing in Juarez on sun
day, says he was arrested as a spy
and since then has been in prison,
being forced frequently during the
fighting to carry water from across
the street to the federal soldiers who
fought from the top of the Jail.
General Madero walked about the
streets congratulating his men. Their
horses had not yet been brought from
the old camp late today. He wore a
felt hat, with the insurrecto colors
wrapped about it. Tonight safely
quartered in the municipal building
in more commodious quarters than
his adobe hut of the last three weeks,
he dictated the following statement:
The taking of Juarez is of very
great military and political impor-
tance to the reyolutionists and it as
sures us of a complete triumph in a
very short time The forces which
defended the town fought valiantly.
They owe their defeat to the fact
that our forces were inspired in this
fight by the spirit to win political
liberty. while the federals We're only
held in their ranks by the yoke of
discipline The majority are IN the
army against their will. For this rea.
son wish to announce to all soldiers
that I will set hem free as soon as
can find a way to insure some means
OF support for those who do not wish
to incorporate themselves in my
forces.
"At present I cannot set them free,
az they have no means OF subsistence,
which would be dangerous AS far as
can now observe the majority of the
prisoners will swell my force. Some
of the Officers, 7 am sure, will enter
my army and those who wish to re-
main true TO the government OF Por
firio Diaz will be exchanged for rris-
oners OF war or political prisoners.

rorted $50 of them had taken the oath
of allegiance to General Madero and
would Join his forces.
Church bells were rung, residents of
the town appeared in the streets with
sighs of relief and the insurrectos
began to shout.
The insurrectos collected thousands
of rounds of ammunition from the
federal barracks, and they easily have
made the most valuable capture of
the revolution. They now have two
mortars, three machine guns and two
field pieces. Their ammunition belts,
somewhat depleted during the attack,
are filled again.
The town of Juarez has been mauled
by bullets and shells beyond Tecogni-
ton. Several houses have been burn
ed, numerous adobe dwellings, are
roofless and some have large holes in
their walls, exposing to view wrecked
interiors.
Window glass, bedding and debris
litter the streets. Scores of build.
ings are punctured with bullet holes.
Many show the destructive effect OF
the artillery fire. The flags of all ma
tions We're flying from the dwellings
of foreign residents today.
Down the streets after the surrend-
er sauntered the insurrecto soldiers
in search of food and water. Their
faces were unshaven, their hair un-
kept and their eyes worn by the loss
of sleep in three days fighting, yet
they went about ioyfully shouting
viva Madero" as they rassed one an
other.
American doctors bandaged for
them their torn thumbs, grazed arms
and other slight wounds as they gath
cred in the streets to celebrate their
victory. They were allowed to do so,
however, only after the rebel chiefs
had placed a guard at all stores and
houses whose entrances were exposed
as well as around the outskirts of the
town.
Telephone wires were soon being re-
paired and shattered telegraph poles
replaced. The insurrectos now are
trying to make their new capital

Juarez, May 1.-THE insurrectos
are today conquerers of the town,
which is the most important chapter
of the revolution. They are in posses
sion of 100000 rounds of ammunition,
seven hundred Mauser rifles, seven
machine guns and field pieces.
Conservative rebel leaders hope that
the battle of Juarez will be the last
chapter of the military side of the rev.
olution.
Having demonstrated their strength
in the field, they now wish to turn
their attention to an argument of
words and public opinion. They are
ready to listen to a proposition from
the government.
The leaders today conferred with
Madero and are revising their de-
mands before the battle. They will
insist upon naming the governments
of fourteen states and four portfolios
in the cabinet. Also they will insist
that Diaz fix a definite time for retire
ment. They consider that Limantour
is the real iron hand of the govern
ment. though they believe that Diaz'
consent must be secured to any peace
arrangements.
Plans are being made to send out
an army to meet General Rabago and

All the dead are being buried to-
night. A conservative estimate by
physicians, as we'll as Of insurrecto
leaders who surveyed the fighting,
puts the federal dead at nearly fifty
and the rebel loss at about fifteen,
with a total of nearly 25O wounded
on both sides. The actual number
lost probably never will be known,

have been buried quickly.
