from the battle OF Juarex indicates the
loss of life was greatly exaggerated by
refugees who came across the river
while the battle was in progress. Six
ty-nine are known to be dead and $50
wounded. Federal commissioner Cara
bajal is awaiting the outcome Of the
Representations being made to Mad
ero for the armistice and peace nego-
tiations, but Madero has little faith In
the possibility OF Diaz yielding. Mad
ero has established his capital here In
addition to q municipal government.
Madero today confiscated large quanti-
ties of food supplies and as the GUS

President has already opened a cam
paign for the recognition of the army
| OF the liberation as belligerents. In

meet the advancing federal forces un.

Madero 10 Supreme.
! With the towns OF Juarex, Naco and
Auga Prieta abandoned to the rebels
by their federal defenders. Geperal
Madero is supreme throughout all
Northern Mexico, the only organized
federal force OF any consequence near
him, being that of Col. Rabago. Ma.
dero is confident that General Or0zc0's
fierce fighters will be able to defeat
Rabago and leave his secure to plan
for an ultimate attack on Mexico City.
Orozco's command will leave Juarez
tonight or tomorrow, according to pre-
sent plans. He will take with him
several Of the machine guns captured
from the federals. Rabago has only
500 men and II surprised by the rebels
lin the mountainous country through
which they are passing, probably will
be annihilated.

Many Of the soldiers captured with

almost collapsed under the shock OF
defeat, pleaded with them to remain
loyal to the government and they de-
cided to do so. In time, however. Ma
