FL Paso, Tex, Feb. 1.-While mutt
nous soldiers who seized Juarez last
night were dissembled into small
bands today, and the frenzy of riot
ing had been displaced by a SEM
blance of order, more trouble seems
inevitable. The mutincers have split
into small bands ach has a leader.
Today they declared themselves ad-
herents of Emiliano Zapata, the rebel
operating in south Mexico.
They claim they will fight any at
tempt made to capture them.
In last nights rioting at least eight
persons were killd. Many more were
wounded.
Tremendous damage was done by
the mutineers during last nights riot
ing. Many stores were looted. Sa-
looms became special targets of the
rioters. Scores of the erstwhilr SOL
diers were raving with drink today.
The mutineers have established
guard at the Mexican ends Of the in
ternational bridges. They are refusing
permission to Americans to or oss. De-
tachments of the Fourth United States
cavalry are guarding the American
approaches to the bridges.
The mutineers are in absolute pos
session of every public building. They
have destroyed many public records.
Many Reasons for Revolt.
Various reasons are given for the
uprisings. Some say they mutlnled
because some of their fellow-soldiers
had been ordered discharged; some
say they rebelled because Madero has
not brought about the reforms that
he promised; scme say Pasqual Oroz-
co. their former chief, and still the
idol of the former rebels in northern
Mexico, is going to join the Zapata
cause, and that they are with him.
None of them seem to know whom
they want for president, but they ail
insist that "Madero must resign"
The train due from the sonth over
the Mexican National line this morn
ing did not arrive, presumably being
held at Chihuahua, although all the
wires are down between Juarez and
Chihuahua No attempt has been
made at Juarez to molest the Mexi-
can Northwestern railroad, which also
runs to Chihuahua, but its wires are
down south of Juarez. The mutineers
are using the military barracks for
any prisoners they are holding.
BY noon nearly all the residents
of Juarez had fed to Ell Paso and
many of the poorer families are now
camping in the open country on the
American bank OF the Rio Grande.
At noon the various leaders met in
the plaza to appoint administrative Of
ficers. Santiago Mestas was chosen
provisional mayor.
At $50 o'clock this morning sem
blance Of order began to replace riot
ing, which came VI. the heels OF the
Juarez garrison's revolt last night.
Guards were stationed to stop loot
ing, particularly of saloons, and drink
infamed malcontents were placed un-
der restraint so far as possible.
Col. Edgar u. Steever, with two
troops of the Fourth cavalry patrolled
the American side of the Rio Grande,
and declined to permit Americans to
cross to the Mexican banks.
Eight persons were killed and nine
wounded in Juarez during the night,
according to careful count this morn
ing. One of the dead was Ciapriana
Torres, an insurrecto. The others
have not been identified.
The mutineers burned all the papers
in the Jail and the court adjoining,
after freeing the prisoners. Colonel
Estrada, commandant of the troops at
the time of the mutiny, and Colonel
Gallo, chief of police, who were i'm
prisoned last night, are now at I'D
erty
Maniano Rodriguez, assistant chief
of police, is locked in the military BAR
racks charged with having killed To
rres. Among the prisoners liberated
when the Jail was broken open was
George Monroe, just extradlted from
Ell Paso on the charge of having muir
dered Jess Bartichell at the Juarez
race track a year ago.

usual liberty for a prisoner, and II Is
reported he has spent much Of his
time II. urging malcontents to revolt
