GENERAL OROzCO
 SPENDS QUIET DAY Revolution Is by Mexicans
 for Mexicans HE ADMITS DEFEAT Says That Guerilla Warfare Will Harass the Government Consider ably-His Arrival in Juarez
 Was Inconspicuous

1 Juarez, July 11.-Gen. Pascual Orozco, l Jr., rebel chief. spent an uneventful day here in communication for the most part with his various columns of troops by l telegraph As he strolled in the street there was no demonstration of any kind. Tn some quarters General Orozco heard gossip about new leader for the revo- lution, but ehe was not disturbed. l One hundred and twenty five men were sent south alongzthe Mexican Central to scout for federals below Encinillas 1s4 miles away.
 l In the same custom house where Presi- dent Taft once met former President Diaz 1 and where also a year ago Francisco |. Madero established his triumphant rebel government. today sat Gen. Pascual l Orozco, Jr., weaving the torn threads of his unsuccessful military campaign against the federal government. The | rebel chief while admitting his defeat | in an organized movement, made it plain that the guerilla warfare now be- 1 ing planned was calculated severely to harrass the Mexican government, but contemplated neither friction nor al- liance with any foreign government. Toward the United States he said he entertained no i'll will He added that he wished no assistance. This Is a revolution by Mexicans and for Mexicans,' he explained with emphasis today.
 Tt is true that we have received offers of assistance from abroad, but we have periodically rejected them." !" When General Orozco was informed of a recent report from Washington that rebel artillery by his direction was to Lombard the plant of an electric light plant owned by the United States in order to bring on complications, he smiled broadly.
 "The report, of course, is ridiculous, he replied. Tt is another one of those stories circulated by the Mexican gov ernment to arouse everybody against us and our cause.
 "We do not want foreign complications. Our fight is in Mexico alone.'
 Inconspicuously General Orozco had come to Juarez the new rebel capital, from Encinilas, 1S4 miles south where the outposts of the rebel army on the Mexi- can Central railroad now are stationed.
 In a little yellow caboose preceded only by a locomotive, the rebel command CT made the journey to Juarez, arriving in the darkness on the outskirts of the town unheralded and unknown to all ex- cept few who secretly met him there.
 Only a handful of officers and an As- sociated Press correspondent accompanied General Orozco His decision to come to Juarez came suddenly. He had intended to stay in the south for some time, cross ing over to the west on horseback, event ually to join the forces on the Mexican Northwestern railroad. Urgent demands, however, came yesterday from his father, Col Pascual Orozco, Sr., who Is in charge of Juarez garrison. Fifteen minutes later he was on his way. leaving his private car near Laguna. He ordered the engi- neer to proceed at full speed.
 Once the engine broke from its light haul--the single caboose and the pas sengers were shaken, but none injured. For a short distance General Orozco helped fire the engine.
 Though the specific purpose of the visit was closely guarded, General Orozco con- ferred today with his subordinates over a more effective prosecution of the re- belion. Confident and hopeful, he be-
 ieves that by guerilla warfare the gov ernment of Madero ultimately can be overthrown.
 With a secrecy such as never before has been manifested in rebel circles, the guerilla campaign has been mapped out.
 Nine columns have gone in all direc- tions, some to the south. and others west ward toward the Mexican Northwestern railroad where they will check the federal advance up that route from Chihuahua and assist in the rebel invasion of the
 
 his attention also to the situation in the Mormon colonies in northern Mexico. He reiterated his promise of earlier days in the revolution that foreigners and their property would not be molested.
