FRUITS OF VICTORY DENIED.
Insurrectos Angered Because Entry
to Chihuahua IL Refused.

Chihuahua, Mexico, June 14.-Four
thousand federal troops, commanded
by three generals, are patrolling the
streets here, determined that the vic
torious insurrecto army under General
Orozco shall not enter the city. Or
ozco's force extends north along the
railroad 80 miles, with headquarters
at Sauz.
The insurrectos make no effort to
conceal their anger. They say while
reports come to them of banquets be-
ing served In Mexico City, they, In
spite of peace, are being kept In the
field on short war rations.
An incident of the strained rela-
lions between the two armies &C.
CURED today when a federal lieuten-
ant who shouted Viva Reyes" was
shot and killed by an insurrecto VINO
had struggled himself into town.
While wonder Is expressed that
Mexico City does not promptly
straighten out the tangle, Governor
GonzaiNs expects no serious conse-
quences.
However, General Orozco, Madero's
foremost military chief, when inter-
viewed at Sauz, frankly expressed
at the authorities failure
to turn over the city to his forces.
1t was given out at his headquarters
that since the insurrectos in North
ern Mexico practically had begun and
won, they should be the first to enjoy
the victory.
Many of Orozco's followers have de-
clared that IL the federals do not /
evacuate soon the insurrecto army
will enter In body.
