Colonel Steever Wants Instructions on
the Juarez Situation.

the JuareZ Situation.
Washington, May 1.-THE depart
ments of state, war, treasury and JUS
tice were considering today what re-
straint if any shall be placed on COM
merce between this country and Juarez,
the newly established capital of the
Steever, commanding the American
troops at FL Paso, and the customs
officials there are awaiting instructions
on the point. The course that is being
pursued pending a determination of
the question is described by Col. Stee-
yer in the following telegram to the war
department:
Il am refusing to allow arms, am
munition, war material and provisions
for insurrectoS to be carried across the
international bridges until I receive in
structionS to the contrary. 1 make ex-
ceptions of articles intended for the
wounded
In reporting the unconditional sur
render of General Navarro with 450
men, Col. Steever says all his cannon,
machine guns, small arms. much am
munition and many horses went into
the hand of the insurrectos.
The estimate of the killed and wound
ed at the battle of Juarez is 300, ac-
cording to a dispatch Of Col. Steever
made public at the White House today.
Col SteeVer says, however, that the
exact number may never be known.
He added that everything is quiet and
peaceful today IN FL PaSO ana Judrez.
United States Consul Edwards at
Juarez reported to the state depart
ment today that he had been consid-
erately treated by both federals and
insurrectos during the siege of the bor-
der town.
Thanking President Taft for his
firm stand against intervention" in
Mexico. a telegram signed by Method
ist Missionary Butler, Presbyterian
Missionary Vanderbilt and Baptist
Missionary Brewer, in Mexico City, was
received in the White House today.
Foreigners and natives whom we
meet through the country are equally
grateful concluded the message.
Food and medical supplies and other
materials needed by the people or
Juarez will be permitted to cross the
international bridges at Ell Paso. In
struction to that effect by the secre-
tary of war will probably go forward
to Col. Steever during the day.

Rebels Occupy Aqua Prieta.
Aqua Prieta, May 11.-Eighty insur-
rectos, commanded by Colonel Santi-
ago CamveroS, the advance guard Of
Anacleto Giron's force, arrived in
Aqua Prieta from the southeast early
today, took possession of the town and
set up temporary military govern
ment with Camyeros as military jefe.
Armed guards were stationed in the
streets and all the municipal buildings.
The international line was closed by
the rebels, who permit only persons
with passes to cross. The same regu-
lation is in force on the American side
of the boundary.
Colonel O'NeaI crossed to Douglas
today and conferred with the rebel
junta. Before night a full set of pro-
visiona1 officers will be appointed to
take charge of the custom house, post
Office and other departments of gov
ernment. Every effort will be direct
ed toward restoring normal condition
under rebel control.
Taft's Policy Is Commended.
Washington, May 11.-President
Taft's policy of nonintervention in
Mexico is already bearing fruit. Di-
rector General John Barret of the
Pan-American union, who is closely in
touch with Latin American affairs,
told the president today he had re-
ceived hundreds of letters from Ameri-
cans, foreigners and Mexicans in Mex

GLOOMY AT MEXICAN CAPITAL.
Officials of the Government Have Not
n Word to Saw.

Mexico City, May 11.-Members OF the
dipIomatic corps resident in Mexico
City today met in the United States
embassy upon invitation of Henry Will
son. the United States ambassador. to
plan concerted action for the protec-
ton of aliens in the event that the
situation in the capital reaches a stage
necessitatipg the taking measures 10
defend themselves.
Mr. Wilson explained that his action
in calling together the foreign diplo-
mats to discuss the situation was mere
Iv precautionary. Later the American
ambassador called on Francisco de La
Barra. the Mexican minister of foreign
affairs to lay before him a contempla-
ted movement on the part of the rep
resentatives of foreign governments
stationed here. The details of the plan
have not been made public. An at
uosphere of deep gloom prevades the
federal office today in strong contrast
with the spirit of hopefulness maintain
ed throughout the last ten days.
Mr.. De La Barra, who fathered the
neace negotiations for the government
and who apparently has been most
sanguine that they would result taVor-
ably, appeared detected today and
seemed to have lost hope or lnnediate
peace. Even in the face of the latest
DEVELOPMENTS he thought, however,
that there was bare possibility OIL a
renewal of the negotiations so uncere-
moniously broken on.
At the national palace the officials
looked gloomy and conversed in sub
dued tones. None had word to say
publicly regarding the SITUATION. IN
fhe sfreets the news, which appeared
strikingly displayed in both English
and Spanish, was read and discussed
undemonstratively. Sympathizers with
the rebellion, of whom there are great
numbers in the capital. while undoubt-
edly eIated greatly over the rebel vic
tory, maintained a calm exterior:
