Ing to a bit of political gossip just

paid for every one will bring in a
revenue of $9,600. Tihs will be a
considerable Increase In the monthly

EL, PASO, Feb. 6. Reinforced by
about 30 Infantry and cavalry
under General Uobage. the Slexlcan
federalists were still In control of
Juarez today, and thoro seems to
ho small probability that General
Orozco and his army of Insurgents,
will make any nssault at present,
nnd It la bolleved that tho Insurrec
tionists are awaiting for relnforce-
nieuts to engage General Navarre,
who is enrouta with 700 federalists
from Chihuahua to aid In the pro
tection of Juarez. The general opin
ion Is that the delay of Oroaco In at
tacking tho city cost him the oppor
tunity to tako tho place and thus
strengthen the revolutionary cnuso.
Hotmgo reached Juarez without any
great opposition on the part of the
Insurgents and with slight loss to
