Food Supplies Expected To-day.
The insurrectos today are the conuuerers
IN a town which is the most important cap
ture of the revolution. not only because OF
the fact that It is port of entry to the
United states and the insurgents believe
that the next twenty-four hours food and
supplies will be crossing the line to them
unmolested but because they are now in
possession Of about $4,000 rounds Of am
munlton several machine guns and field
pieces about 100 Mauser rifles and enough
ammunition belts and other warlike sun

time TO come. But though the revolution

the rebel political leaders today were con-
ferring with General Madero and revising
the demands made before the battle. They
are strengthening them somewhat and will
continue TO insist on real participation
in governmental affairs and such privileges
as the naming of men from their party
for governors in fourteen states and four
portfolios in the cabinet.
The attitude OF the rebels on the ques-
ton OF the resignation OF General Diaz
hardly has crystslllzed yet DIR. Vasquez
Gomez, one Of the rebel peace commits
sioners declared today It still was the
paramount consideration around which all
ha hall
have taken the stand that their demand
that General Diaz make public merely his
intention of resigning has been met with
such a vague and naughty reply that they
now will demand the fixing of an exact
time for his retirement
With reference to the contention OF the
government that insubordination In the
Madero ranks provoked the attack on
Juarez and that General Madero II not in
control of his soldiers, the rebels openly
charge trickery on the part of the govern
ment to disseminate the opinion that a
state Of anarchy Is prevalent in the re-
public and that therefore II would be fatal
for General Diaz to abdicate under such
circumstances. The rebels maintain on
the other hand, in their demands they are
asking merely for steps toward a gradual
readjustment OF the administration Of the

Diaz has not been in actual control for

federal government is that Of Minister

they say, tell Of the complete mastery OF
the situation which Minister LtmantouI

Ministers Limantour and De La Barre
have been most conspicuous In handling the
