AN EXCELLENT EXCUSE
Maderistas Gave Juarex Up to the
Rebels to Prevent American Lives
from Being Endangered

Ell Paso, Texas, Feb. 2S.-Juarez is
in the hands OF the rebel force under
Colonel Campo, who invested and
took the city after brief resistance
by the Mexican federal troops In fact,
the resistance was formal.
The rebels advanced on the city yes
terday from the northwest and at 1905
o'clock began a cannonading. The fed
eral forces lined up in the irrigation
ditch that runs almost parallel with
the river and fired a ~volley in reply.
Then the town was turned over to
Campo, who marched his men in and
took charge.
Mexican Consul Lorente explained
the resistance on the part of the
Maderistas by stating that the town
was surrendered to the rebels so that
American rights would not be inter-
fered with. The federals were afraid
that if battle was fought at Juarez
the rifle balls would cross the border
line and that would bring American
troops into Juarez and perhaps involve
the United States and Mexico. F"-
that reason the federal garrison was
ordered to allow the rebels to take
charge of the town.
