Reporter: Tell me what is your
opinion of the governments victories
in the late battles?"
Gen. OrozcO: I must tell you that
those socalled victories by the Ma
dero government, which took place in
Conejos, Rellano and Bachimba were
of no Importance, and if there was any
of any Importance, it was in favor Of
the revolution. as the retreats of the
revolutionary forces We're done in an
orderly manner and in obedience to a
preeonceived plan with the main OBJ
ject in view to attract up to the city
of chihuahua all the principal elements
of the government, and, once there, cut
them off by destroying the railways
and telegraph lines in order to after
ward move in large columns our forces
into other states
Had No Ammunition.
Reporter: why did you not fight a
formal battle at the Bachimba can
yen, having such a good pOsition?'
Gen. OrOzcO: Because feared that
al the very moment of my triumph the
ammunition would give out. and be-
cause it would be very difficult for
me to secure more, bearing in mind
the difficulties that I have with the
United States to pass same over the
line"
The American People.
Reporter: What IS your opinion in
regard to the attitude of the United
States in the actual revolution
Gen OroZco: ALLOW me to be dis
Greet in this respect I shall only tell
you that during the last revolution
against Gen. DlaZ, we were given all
the facilities to smuggle arms and
ammunition at the very eyes of the
American soldiers themselves. I think
that the American citizens who have
haTr in 49,
are being very highly damaged by this
attitude of the American government,
as it tends to slow and delay the tri-
umph of the revolution, and if the JUS
tice of belligerency was recognized,
and the United States would place no
obstacles to passing over the ammuni-
ton which we buy, we would long ago
have been triumphant
His Guarantees.
1.-THE American people know very
well that 1 gave them all kinds of
guarantees in the state of Chihuahua
while it was under my domain. The
business in general were operating
regularly. It looked as if though in
chihuahua there was no revolution"
In Event of Triumph.
Reporter: Should the revolution tri-
umph what promises, in general. do
you offer to she working people in
Mexico?"
Gen. Orozco: IT am sure that the rev.
the help which the American govern
ment is giving to Francisco J. Madero,
and at once there will be a provisional
government established formed by the
most respecta bic persons of the cOun-
try, who by their patriotism and lOn-
esty will inspire full confidence to the
people, which the government will a
once proceed TO fulfill in the limits Of
the promises OF the revolution, while 1,
with all the revolutionary forces, will
proceed to implacably prosecute all
the bandits and perturbatOrs Of the
public order, assuring that in a limited
time the whole republic will be re-
stored TO peace"
Permanent Peace.
Reporter: And will that peace be
true, Gen. OrozcO. or viii it be only
a repetition Of that offered by Mr. Ma
Gen. Orozco: Never. The peace
which the revolution will guarantee
Will have as its main force the just
and legal proceedings in all the acts of
the government. and very severe les
sons will be given with the authori-
ties who should violate the rights OF
the citizens"
