HI FaSO, lex, May III udTeZ, tne
objective point of the Mexican revolu-
tionists for many months because Il
Is port OF entry to the United States,
fell into the hands of General Fran
cisco !. Madero, Jr., the rebel chief.
General Navarro and his forces have
completely surrendered.
Navarro remained with his men to
the last, and after many of his Of
f1cers had quit and the command had
been shot to pieces the old general
retreated into the barracks on the
southwestern edge of the city, where
the rebel advance was fought off as
long as possible.
The rebels took the city in the morn
ing, but it was afternoon when Ma
varro surrendered with his command,
and this was only done after five
shells from heavy cannon had struck
the adobe building in which they had
taken refuge.
Colonel M. A. Tamborel was killed
during the Tuesday fight. He was the
commandment of the federal garrison
and second in command of the city.
Colonel Manuel Pueblita, second in
command, was wounded.
Federal Troops Desert.
Then the captains and minor off,
GERS began to desert. The soldiers
followed the example, and Navarro
was forced to retire win his men in
q body to keep them all from leaving
him. From place to place the federals
moved, retiring slowly as the rebel
fire drove them back.
Tuesday night and Wednesday
morning the federals occupied the old
church in the center of the city, the
municipal building, the jail and sur
rounding buildings. These the insur-
rectos forced them out of and they
fell back for a last stand in the bar
racks as the insurrectos ran up their
flags on the different buildings and
their comrades began to pour in from
all sides of the town.
Navarro is to be traded for Eduardo
Hayes, one of the insurrecto board of
strategy, now prisoner in the state
penitentiary at Chihuahua. Francisco
l. Madero when he reached Juarez af.
ter the surrender said so
Colonel Tamborel was killed In his
own home. His body is lying on bed
In a room in his home shot full of
holes. Several newspaper correspond
ents who knew and admired the little
commander, who tainted the rebels
with being afraid to attack, identified
the body.
Lieutenant Colonel Manuel Pueblita,
second in command, was wounded in
the cheek and eye.
All Saloons Closed.
AS soon as the insurrectos took the
town the officers made every possible
effort to close the saloons and pre-
vent the men drinking. A great deal of
liquor was destroyed at once and
guards were placed over all the sa-
looms. However, the men got hold of
much of it.
Lieutenant Colonel Garibaldi led the
charge OF the men through the town
after Colonel Blancos command had
worked its way up behind the Jail,
had gained it and after having usei
it as a fertilization had Edriven the
federals out OF the old church and the
city buildings. Garibaldi first ordered
the liquor destroyed. Later General
Pascual Orozco gave orders to have
all saloons kept closed. So far there
Is almost perfect order and minim ID
or drunkenness. Guards watch the
doors of all saloons and the anti-liquor
law Is in complete force. Juarez is de-
signed to be the first prohibition town
in Mexico.
Abram Gonzales, provisional COVER
nor of Chihuahua, declares that Juarez
saloons will be closed continuously
until the insurrectos leave the city.
Every precaution Is being taken to
prevent disorder. Many of the insur
rectos entered saloons at the begin
ming of the fight and secured bottles
of liquor, but in their hilarity they
distributed it among their friends. so
that altogether no one man got very
much to drink
The lid is down tight and will be
held so, declare the authorities. The
killed and wounded are found in all
sorts of out of the way places in
Juarez. Blood spots appear everywhere
on the streets and on the sidewalks,
and dead and dying men and men
