Juarez, Mex, May 1O.-General
Navarro and his twenty-seven officers
were paroled tonight by Francisco l.
Madero, Jr. After inviting them to
dinner tonight he announced that If
they would promise on their nonor not
10 leave the city they could have the
liberty Of the town. They immedi-
ately agreed to do so and are sleeping
at their own headquarters tonight.
Juareg, Mex, May 10.-This little
bullet riddled city tonight Is the pro-
visional capital of Mexico and Fran
cisco L. Madero, Jr., provisional pres
ldent, and his staff have taken COM
plete possession after winning the
bloodiest battle Of the Mexican revo-
luton.
In corner room of the barracks
which for two days he held against the
terrific fire OF the rebes sits General
Juan j. Navarro, the federal COM
mander, captive, having surrendered
today with almost his entire garrison
of several hundred men after heavy
loss of killed and wounded. His sallow
face is sunken, his head is bowed and
he does not talk, for the bitter sting
of defeat has disheartened him.
In contrast in another part of the
little town is Francisco |. Madero, Jr,
the conqueror. surrounded by mem
bers of his family and his staff Off

with victory, yet ready to make

The fortunes Of war" mumbled an
insurrecto soldier in Spanish tonight,
as he stood with tears in his eyes over
the body of dead federal soldier
whom he had known for years. All
the dead are being buried tonight. A
conservative estimate of physicians as
vey0d the fighting puts the federal
dead at nearly fifty and the revolu-
tionist loss at about fifteen, with a
total of nearly $50 wounded on both
sides. The real number lost probab-
ly never will be known. as deserters
were many and the dead have been
buried quickly. The Associated Press
correspondent counted seven dead
federals in the barracks late this af-
ternoon. Among the dead were Col.
Tambourel and Capt. Sachudo. the
former the man who a few days ago
taunted the rebels as towards.
On the American side of the line
