REFUSE To SURRENDER
CITY OF CHIHUAHUA
Federal Troops Will Not Allow
InsurreCtos to Enter
With Arms.

JUAREZ. Mex, June 10.-A telegram
from Chihuahua today says the situation
there is confused. The federal troops re-
fuse to surrender the city, and will not
allow Gen Orozco or any Of his 5000 in
surrectos to enter with their arms. Ap-
peals have been sent to Mexico City, ask
ing the minister Of war to settle the diff
ficulty The American residents complain
that the city is being kept on q war
basis and all business is interrupted.
Gen. Orozco repeatedly has said he would
enter the city by force unless his men
soon were given permission to take pos
session.
The reason the insurrectos are being
kept out appears to be a fear that II they
are allowed to enter with arms they will
get beyond control, and give vent to long
cherished resentment to certain interests
These interests include banks once con-
trolled by Enrique Creel and others iden-
titled with the Diaz administration.
