 Gonzales Garza will have charge of the mall service and Secretary of the Treas ury Gustavo Madero will direct the af- fairs of the custom house.
 That the insurrecto army is more than an armed mob was shown today In the complete absence of footing and of intoxi- cation and the quickness with which the shattered city was cleared of its dead and wounded. The embargo against visi- tors was removed during the morning and curious sightseers in thousands poured across the bridges leading from Fl Paso.
 Only occasional cases of footing were reported and these not by the insur- rectos themselves, but by tiable t,-i, Hl,at ly displayed in El Paso two silver candlestfcks taken from the big church in which yesterday the federals made Il desperate stand.
 Guard Against Attack
 In the meantime the insurrectos are not overlooking the possibility of at tack from Colonel Rabago, reported approaching from Chihuahua with re lief force. ,Aturally the rebel leaders will not divulge their plans in this di- rection but it is known that surprise from the south Is carefully being guarded against.
 Juare. contains tonight the larger part of Maderos original force of 1s40 men, augmented by several scores of volunteers who during the day enlist ed under the banner of the victoria Us rebel army and were armed with cap tured rifles.
 Now that the battle of ,Juarez has been fought and won, even the insur- recto leaders are wondering somewhat at the easiness of the capture Of the city that appeared almost impregnable. With well drilled force of regulars, thoroughly armed with field guns and rapid firers, posted at strategical points, the garrison, outfought and putnam euvered, surrendered to force of in surrectos that at the most did not num- Der more than 500 or TOO fighting men when the white flag on the federas barracks was run up in token of sur render.
 An explanation may be found in the expressions of federal prisoners A number of the wounded expressed sym pathy with the insurrecto cause, while others, unwounded but disarmed, open ly fraternized with the rebels.
 sThey simply would not fight, epi- tomized the belief in insurrecto ranks The insurrectos announced today their determination not only to hold Juarez against any attack by Mexican forces, but to prevent fight in this city If pos sible Plans were laid at the insurrecto headquarters for force of several hun dred men to march south to meet Gen eral Rabago, the federal leader, who is reported to be on his way here from Chi huahua with. a good-sized army. The rebels already have about 300 men at Gas Grandes and probably will open fire on Rabago when he arrives.
 Town Is Quiet
 The town was quiet early today for the first time for several days. The insur- gents slept peacefully in their homes, while insurrecto sentres stood guard.
 General Navarro, the captured federal leader who was paroled with his officers last night, spent the night in the same house with Gen. Francisco l. Madero, the rebel leader. Though the federal com nander now has been given the liberty of the city, he does not deem 1t safe to be seen much about town, because there are said to be several insurrectos who cherish a grudge against him for alleged bayonettng of the wounded in other bat ties of the revolution
 Rebel officers. however have given strict orders, not to harm any of the pa roled federals, and from the discipline which has been maintained in the insur- recto force heretofore 1t Is considered not likely that any mshap will befall them. The revolutionsts today are the con- querors in town which is the most inn portant capture of the revolution. not only because of the fact that it is port of entry to the United States, but because they now are in possession of about 45O,- oo0 rounds of ammunition, several ma T chine guns and field pieces. about 700 Mauser rifles and enough ammunition belts and other fighting sundries to wage furious warfare for some time to come. fI IShe revolutionists are flushed with vic- 2 tory and some of them are eager to pursue the fight with increasing vigor throughout Mexico until the capital of the republic shall have fallen. But con- servative rebel leaders are hoping that the bloody battle of Juarez will be the last chapter of the military side of the revolution.
 Having demonstrated their strength in the field. they now wish to turn their attention to the arguments of words and public opinion. They are ready to listen to propositions from the government and today Senors Branin and Obregon eo- betweens, are feeling the opinion of in surrecto chiefs as to the best way for reopening peace negotiations.
 Rebels Revise Demands
 Comfortably lodged in their new pro- svisional capital, the taking of which the rebels declare will make prospccts of recognition of the powers much brighter. the rebel political leaders today con ferred with General Madero and revised the demands made upon President Diaz's government before the battle.
 They are strengthening them somewhat and will continue to insist on real par ticipation in governmental affairs, and such privileges ks the naming of men
