to mingle. his two principal commanders
killed or wounded. Gen. Juan J. Navarro
surrendered the city of Juarez to the
rebel army of Francisco l. Madero this
afternoon with 4sO OF his men. He is
held by the rebels tonight
Navarro remained with his men to
the last. and after many Of his officers
had quit and the command had been
shot to pieces the old General retreated
into the barracks on the southwestern
edge Of the city. where the rebel advance
was fought OF rs long as possible.
The rebels took the city at 10 o'clock
The Federals were driven from the old
mission about 1890 o'clock. assuring the
fall Of the town. The soldiers retreated
rapidly in file toward the barracks. where
at 1890 o'clock they still kept on fighting.
By o'clock in the afternoon the surren-
der had taken place.
Navarro capitulated with his entire
command. He gave in only after Ave
shells from heavy cannon had struck
the adobe building in which he and the
remnant Of his force had taken refuge.
Col. NJ. Tamborel was killed in the
Tuesday fight. He was the commsndant
Of the Federal garrison and second in
command in the city. Col. Manuel Pueb-
lits. next in command. was wounded.
Then the Captains and minor officers
began to desert. The soldiers followed
the example and Navarro was forced TO
retire with his men in body to keep
them all from leaving him. From place
to place the Federals moved. retiring
slowly as the rebel fire drove them.
Last night and early this morning the
Federals occupied the old church in the
| centre Of the town. the municipal build
ing, the Jail and surrounding buildings.
These the insurrectos forced them out

insurrectos ran up their flags on the diff

began to pour in from all sides Of the
town.

day. To-day it was not nearly 80 ferocious.

about eigh'y-five prisoners. From the

While Blancos men we're driving the
Federals back into the barracks other
