El Paso, May 10:-Three hundred
rebel reenforcements entered Juarez
at 10 A NJ, stormed the cathedral,
the stronghold of the federals, and
took it, Then, assisted by GaribaIdf's
men and the American legion of
rebels, they stormed and took the
Jail and destroyed it after releasing
the prisoners.
The tnsurrecto flags are flying now
on top of the city water tank, at the
city hall and on the fagstaffs in the
streets nearby. When rebel couriers
reported that federal General Navar-
70, with the main body of his troops,
had been sighted heading for Bauche,
the rebel leaders ran up the insur-
gents flag. This was the prearranged
signal of capture and it was followed
by wild enthusiasm On the part of
the insurgents.
Word was sent to General Madero
and he was urged to come to Juarez
and take formal possession. At II
O'Clock Madero and his staff we're re-
ported on their way to the city to
establish headquarters.
The insurgents leaders, expecting
that Navarro will seek to establish a
junction with Colonel Rabago and
return to the attack, are fastening to
rehabilitate the city's defenses.
All morning bullets continued to
fly over Ely Paso and the death of
one person and the wounding of sew
era1 on the American side of the river
has been reported. Simon Domfn-
guez was shot through the heart by q
stray bullet and instantly killed.
The famous Juarez bull ring which
was defended by the federals until
the last moment, caught fire today
and was entirely destroyed
Throughout the fighting the casual
ties were heavy on both sides and the
wounded and dying were left in the
hot sun without food, water or med
ical attention There were oAv two

the fighting was at close quarters tha
wounded fell thick
On an arrangement between Colonel
Steeyer Of the United States army,
commanding the border guard, and
Senor Torres, Mexican consul In E
Paso, many of the wounded who had
managed TO reach the International
bridges and had been held back by the
United States troops were allowed to
come to Ell Paso hospitals. These In
cluded several Americans One Of
them was A. E. Anderson. Two Amer
lean companions were with him and
sfied that he be allowed to cross
Anderson is believed to be mortany
wounded
The contending forces in JuareZ have
no hospital organization or medical
corps, so that the wounded are for the
most part left without any more at
tention than can be had from their
unskilled comrades.
Death has already claimed over 100,
1t is declared. So fierce is the fighting
that neither side viii permit mo-
ment's truce for a hospital corps
under a white flag TO remove the
wounded and dead bodies from the
zone of fire.
Efforts have been made every few
minutes to bring wounded men. chiefly
rebels, across the river to the United
States for medical attention, but act
ing under positive orders, the United
States troops refused to permit any Of
the wounded to be brought across until
the order was rescinded
The city of Juarez is practically
deserted except for the federals and
rebels. The American patrol on this
side OF the river permits women and
children to come across at any time
In any numbers seeking safety. All
the business houses in the heart of the
city have their windows and doors
barricaded and shuttered, and those
noncombatants who find it necessary
to stay in the city retire as far from
the scene of the fighting as they can
and shelter themselves behind the
adobe walls.
Francisco l. Madero, whose fortunes
of war and whose hope for the future
is resting upon the issue of the attack
upon Juarez, is apparently the most
unconcerned man in the rebel camp.
Bullets have been falling in Ell Paso
and an El Pasoan was killed. Vincent
Pasedas, nineteen years old, a barber,
standing In the door of his home In
the International roomiDg house, was
shot through the heart and killed iru-
mediately. His sister was standing
near him when he was shot
All of the public schools are holding
classes with the exception Of Villas
