 CHIHUAHUA. March 5.--The rebels are in control of the entire state of Chihuahua tonight Col. Rancho Villa and his force are still in the state but are so outnumbered as to be inefiec- tive. A column under Generals Sala- gar and Campa moved to the city this afternoon from Sauz and with Orozco's men encamped on the edge Of the city. All saloons were closed by order or Orozco. An immense crowd welcomed the column from JuareZ.
 Under OrOZco's immediate Command are 500 former government troops. The rebel generals today declared numer- ous volunteers are offering themselves and soon will swell the rebel army to 5000 which will be taken south to se- cure control of Durango, Tolreon. and all other towns between hera and Mex ico. The misunderstanding by which Salazar was delayed in entering Chi huahua apparently has been cleared up. On the surface. al least. all dis trust of Orozco has disappeared.
 CAMP OF INSURRECTOS, SACZ, Chihuahua. March 5.-The rebel gen. eral. Salazar. who arrived this morn ing. and Campa have not committed themselves fully to OroZco. the in surrecto commandant of Chihuahua. The reason for the distrust is not fully apparent. but on the surface it appears that they are unconvinced that Orozco's announced desertion to the rebels was not merely the mask of a leader still devoted to Madero. This morning OrOzco sent an invita- tion to Salazar and his troops to en- ter Chihuahua and take the oath or fealtv to the rebellion. SalaZar coun- tered with a proposition that OroZco visit Sauz and himself take the oath. Then Orozco repeated his original in- vitation. declaring he could not leave Chihuahua at this time. council of war was held, at which it was decided to approach. later in the day. the outskirts of Chihuahua, and halt there until the exact status of OroZcO and his men were determined defi- nitely. Both leaders are said to crave the distinction of commanding the northern forces It is asserted that it is Orozco's ambition rather than his loyalty to the rebel cause which is distrusted.
 PARIS. France. March 5.-"What I promised my cOmpatriots was that I would return, should war break out against foreign enemy. and not that I would return to take part in a struggle between the parties. I have no intention of intervening in the strife of parties. especially while they have not recovered their reason
 The foregoing interview was tele- graphed by General Porfirio DiaZ to- day to the Associated Press. in con nection with a report that he had written letter to a friend in New York saving he would be ready to return to Mexico if the country needed him. General Diaz is now staying with Captain D'Ail of the French Riviera.

All stated that they would remain here until the Mexican situation clears. It was reported here today that Chiapas. a former Diaz commander. now in jail at Hermosillo, has been deputized by Madero to raise an army and crush the rebels The very name of Chia- pas strikes terror to the hearts of the rebels.
