HOLD AMERICAN BORDER NOW The Revolutionists Have Captured Machine Guns, Artillery, Ammu nition and Supplies to Equip Their Army. El Faso, May 11.—Juarez surrend ered most picturesquely and the Mex ican insurrection now has something besides a slice of the desert for a seat of government. Francisco I. Madcro, provisional president, was the last insurrecto to enter the town but, he made up for the belated morsel of triumph by do ing it in an automobile which had a vivid holiday aspect with its decora tions of the Mexican tri-color. It was a difficult and perilous tning, to be achieved and some very clever military strategists said they would fail, but none of these predictions reckoned upon the fighting ability of the rebels and the exceedingly luke warm attitude of the federals towards the task of holding the town. When the final attack began the rebels had everything in Juarez but the Cuartel, the city hall various oth er buildings of military advantage near the municipal and the great cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe which looked down from its 300 years of more or less pious and troublous memories upon former worshipers ready to slay each other, it was around this noble structure that tho battle was fiercest. There the fed erals with many a prayer, but more curses, heltl their ground unmoved for three hours while the battle kept moving in smaller and still smaller circles upon them. But at noon even the inspiration of Our I^ady of Guadalupe ceased to bo an active principle and the federals, with a last defiant volley, followed with sundry yells denoting fear, evacuated the cathedral; they rushed to the Cuartel, a thick walled quad rangle, and here they were all massed under the personal command of Gen. Juan J. Navarro, commandant of Juarez. By 1 o’clock in the afternoon most of the rebels had found their way to the Cuartel by an instinct of battle which drew them through the crooked streets of the town from sundry and widely separated points, and for tue next 25 minutes the fire of the rebels was directed tgainst the adobe walls of the Cuartel. It did not take long for this onslaughter, which profited immensely by the par ticipation of two cannon, to bring con viction of defeat to the timorous leaning of tue federals and Gen. Na varro after a brief consultation with his staff gave the word to run up the white flag. Gen. Benjamin Viljoen, military ad viser to Madero, reached Navarro tirst. The federal commander, who had been somewhat contemptuous of the insurrectos prowess, yielded his sword with avidity notwithstanding the formerly held opinion. It was accepted by Gen. Viljoen and passed along to Col. Garibaldi, the actual military commander of the successful assault. It took less than an nour tor tne rebels to perfect their occupation and it was within this time that they had tne federal prisoners marching from the Cuartel or barracks, to the jail. This was a remarkable sight and gave a picturesque climax to the vic tory. There were probably 500 sol diers in the line that came swinging into the street that runs along the market, in front of the city hall and turns, after flanking the plaza, into the street where the jail stands. Hundreds of residents of the town were grouped with insurrecto sol diers not on duty, at points of vantage along the way as the prison ers marched along and there was nothing to it but a continuous cry of "Viva Madero.” The capture of Juarez becomes not only the most lustrous victory of the insurrectos and the greatest battle of the rebellion, but in addition gives to the anti-government forces the most important strategic point and greatest port of entry on the border. The capitulation of Juarez in fact gives to the rebels complete control of the border, not an important port of entry is missing. From this time forward a far more ambitious mili tary program can be carried out than was possible hitherto, indeed, the ad vance on Mexico is no longer the dream of the visionary and it is this which now apparantly menaces the government of Diaz. The insurrectos captured consider able stores of provisions, field and ma chine guns, rifles and ammunition. Itebel soldiers could be seen every where loaded down with the arms of the vanquished. Newfoundland Asks a Trade Treaty. Washington, May 11.—Secretary Knox, while ready to enter into nego tiations with Newfoundland for a reci procity treaty, has decided to await the action of congress on the Cana dian bill before proceeding with what would be a useless task In the event (hat the Canadian arrangement falia. SIMPLY A CHANGE OF ACTORS i Same Old Scene; Same Old Play, But a New Set of Principals. WANT LIGHTS ON THE RIVER i NAVIGATION OF THE MISSOURI MAKES THEM NECESSARY. _ Ati Appropriation of $75,000 is Asked for Their Installation and Maintenance. Kansas City, May 11.—The activity of .Keprcsentative Borland in behalf of tl'o Missouri river lights will result In their Installation this season, It Is believed at the river office. The amoicnt to be asked for, $75,000, is enough, it is said, to make tho river safe dor navigation by night, some thing the Kansas City company insists upon even if it be necessary for it to put in the lights at its own ex I pense. Jtepncsentative Borland has taken the matter up with tho Department of Commerce and Labor. As a mem of the House appropriations commit tee Mr. Borland will endeavor to got an appropriation made by Congress. It will he a comparatively short (ask fo erect the lights after the money is appropriate! by Congress. The lights themselves are not so very expensive. They are similar to rail way signal lamps and are set on posts on the banks of the river. The main item of expense connected with them is for maintenance. They have to be lighted each night and put out each morning and tlie oil supply requires close attention. On tho Mississippi, where the government lias many of the lights in commission, tha expense is estimated at $12 a month for each light in the navigation season for in stallation aod maintenance. The lights are not calculated to il luminate the river. They are designed as steering beacons. The channel is determined by a survey and then the lights are so placed that by steering toward them a pilot may be sure he is following tho chajinel. At curves and bad crossings it might he neces sary to have several lights in one mile, while on the straight stretches the lights might he more than a milo apart.
