With Juarez and all its vast stores
Of rifles, ammunition and quick-fring
guns in the hands of the Mexican rev
olutionists, the insurrectos did honor
to the memory of Colonel Tamborel,
the federal leader, who was killed dur
ing the fighting, by escorting his body
to the cemetery on the bare hillside
and sounding taps over the grave.
With a troop of insurrecto cavalry
as an escort and followed by a firing
squad on foot, the body of the dead
federal chief, laid on a stretcher in
dilapidated one-horse express wagon
and covered with nothing but a white
sheet. was carried past insurrecto
headquarters, then down the narrow
streets of the city to the cemetery Al

The captured city was opened to the
public from FL Paso and thousands
fiocked to the rebel capital of Mexico.
Automobiles, bicycles. street cars and
every known method Of transportation
was used
While the town was filled with sight
seers panic was created when one
or two of the MaderO soldiers, who
had been given drink by American
visitors. became bOisterous and start
ed firing their weapons. Several wO-
men began to scream and run, while
men fought to get out Of the way. The
situation was tense Tor short time.

but having knowledge that General
Rabago and federal relnforcements are
coming from chihuahua. Orozco and
almost the entire force nov in Juarez'
together with all forces he can call IN
from the south, will leave to meet
Rabago and give battle. Obregon and

May Import Provisions.
Colonel +. u. Steever, commanding
the United States border guard. was
advised by the war department that ne
might permit food and medical sup
plies to be sent to the insurrectOs In
Juarez. This settles a question that
has been troubling the insurrectos ana
people Of FL Paso.
The attitude OF the rebels on the
question of the resignation OF Presi'
dent Diab hardly has crystallized yet.
DIR. Vasquez Gomez, one of the rebel
peace commissioners, declared 1t was
still the paramount consideration on
which all prospects for peace hinged.
The rebels have taken the stand that
their demand that President Dlaz
make public merely his intention OF
resigning has been met with such
vague and naughty reply that they
now will demand the fixing OF the
exact time for his retirement.
With reference to the contention OF
the government that INSTRUMENTATION
in the Madero ranks provoked the at
tack on Juarez and that General Ma
dero is not in control Of his soldiers,
the rebels openly charge trickery on
the part of the government to dis
seminate the opinion that a state OF
anarchy is prevalent in the republic
and that, therefore, 1t would be fatal
for President Diaz to abdicate under
such circumstances.
The rebels maintain that they are
asking merely for steps toward a
gradual readjustment of the admin
istration of the republic and they be-
lieve the automatic transfer Of the
power to their own political party
soon will follow.
