The CAPTURE Of JUAREz WITHOUT BLOODSHED

trying to make the new capital a
habitable place.
Madero walked about the streets
conSratulating the men. He wore .
felt hat with the insurrecto colors
around it, Tonight, safely quartered
in the municipal building, more COM
modious quarters than the adobe hut
he had occupied for the last three
weeks. he dictated the following state
ment:
The taking of Juarez is of very
great military and political impOr-
tance To the revolutionists and as
sures us of a complete triumph in a
very short time The forces which
defended the town fought valiantly
They owe their defeat To the fact
that our forces were inspired by the
spirit of political liberty. while the
federals Were only held in the ranks
by the yoke of discipline \ majority
were in the army against their will.
For this reason | wish To announce
10 all the soldiers who are prisoners
that | will set them free as soon as
find a way to insure some means of
support for those who do not wish
forces. As far as ! now observe, a
majority of the prisoners will swell
my forces. Some officers. ] am sure
viii enter my army. and those who
wish To remain true to Porfirio Diaz
will be exchanged as prisoners Of war
or political prisoners"
More ammunition than they ever
dreamed To he in JuareZ tonight is i'm
the hands of the revOlutiOnistS The
sympathy of the people of Chihuahua
is with the rebels. and if they march
southwark toward Mexico City they
are sure To recruit thousands of men.
The probable course of action by the
insurrectos now viii be To determine
whether the government will really
make definite peace concessions. Ne
gotiations for peace probably will be
resumed i'm a day or two, but the
rebel demands probably will be much
stronger than before All erstWhilc
peace commissioners and rebel po-
litical chiefs are in Juarez tonight
with Madero.
Navarro and his twenty seven Of
ficers were paroled tonight by Ma

He announced that if they would
promise on their honor not to leave

Detective Burns Belief Regarding the
Springfield Explosion.

Springfield. Mass. May 10-Detec-
tive W J. Burns visited Springfield
tonight for a further investigation of
the recent attempted dynamiting of
the new municipal building tower. He
conferred with the chief of police
uietly and the foreman of the con-
struction company who claims to have
had trouble with union representatives
prior to the explosion.
Burns intimated that he had evi-
dence to connect the Springfield eX-

GLOOM AT THE CAPITAL.
The Fall OF Juarez to Be Followed
BY Greater lnsurrecto Activity.

Mexico City. MAY 10.-There is no
one in the capital tonight not under
the official ban of silence who does
not admit that the capture OF Juarez
by the revolutionists adds prestige To-
the revolt, and that it is bound To
augment the strength of the insur-
recto cause.
Navarro was not accounted brilliant.
but he was given credit for bravery
and determination. He waN quoted
here as having assured the president
that ne would die rather than sur
render 1t was believed that he would
hold the position Now that he has
surrendered. while it came as a sur
prise, it is generally admitted that il
was not a disappointment To most per-
sons. The general situation in its in
creased gravity furnished a solemn
subject at tOnight's cabinet meeting
and one of live debate i'm the cafes
and saloons. With JuareZ in the
hands of Madero, the task OF General
Rabago, sent north from Chihuahua
with 500 men to relieve Navarro, be-
comes more difficult.
If it proves true that some Of Ma
ing the ammunition, it is probable,
as viewed here. that they viii join
the forces of Rabago. Thus. accord
ing To official opinions. the issue at
JuareZ remains to be fought out
probably with bullets and possibly
with the reopening of peace negotia-
tons
AS regards the country at large. the
defeat Of the governments leading
general it is conceded. cannot but
increase the activity of those bands
whose operations SO far have been
purely local. The rebels have swept
the state Of Chihuahua and they have
long controlled the greater part of
Sonora. and i'm the last months have
increased rapidly their strength i'm
Coahuila. Durango is generally con-
ceded to the rebels and Zacatecas is
sverrrun with them. In Aguas Cali
entes the revolutionists outnumber the
federals.
To the south of the capital lies the
menace of the four Figueroa brothers,
the most powerful of whom, with 900
followers, has been awaiting tiie re-
suit of Madero's negotiations win the
government. Recently he said he
would be guided for peace or war by
Madero. No word has been received
from him since the fighting at Juarez
was begun.
Besides this force. vague estimates
have il that there are from 5000 to-
10000 scantily equipped additional
forces awaiting to be organized into "A
fighting force by the Fisueroas for
an attack on this city. The Figueroas
say that 5000 of their followers are
armed.
2 In the last few days tn belief ha
been current that the federal fc'ceI
here does not come within 80 per cent
of the strength credited to it. In
many minds there is dcutt as to the
LOYALTY of these troops should the
revolutionary victories continue. Mex
lean officers in conversation with
American friends voiced this fear.

evidently little disagreement in the

announced that a verdict had been
found Half of this time had been

he was now face to face with life or

To Deputy Sheriff OIea and now and

Officer Troutman and other wit
