themselves over to clearing up the
wreckage OF the town, and preparing
for an attack by the federal relei
force under Col. Rabago.
The defehses partially completed by
Gen. Juan Navarro before the maj
battle OF Juarez end which were badly
battered In the fierce encounters which
preceded the towns fall. are being
prepared to Withstand another attack,
while the bodies of the dead are be-
ing removed from the original federal
trenches west and south OF the city.

stan. who surrendered their swords

rounded In the federal barracks, are
being feted today like conquerors In
stead OF men who have just lost the
most important battle OF the revolu-
ton. At the suggestion OF Madero
himself, Navarro and his stan last
night gave their word not to attempt
TO leave Juarez and were released on
parole and given the freedom OF the

estimate Of the number Of dead and
wounded, but insurgent surgeons to-
day expressed the opinion that about

Juarez, discipline was re-established

Madero expects a triumphal entry
into the national capital, said Con
zales, with his entire army, which II
is expected will, by that time, have
been recruited up to triple It's present
strength.
