provisions. The American soldiers
were standing near when I called to
the men to come and carry It over.
After it had been carried over the
American Lieutenant came up and saldt
-Hello, what's up here?" A woman
standing near raised her umbrella in
his face, and remarked. "You can't see
anything." The rebels have about. 2000
sacks of flour at Carts Grandes. and
plenty of sheep and cattle. They also
have a plenty of other provisions.
"If Navarro has not been killed. I
believe he will be shot, on account of
his treatment to the lnsurrectos. The
federal garrison at Juarex got In bad
with Madero. They used to send him
messages, telling him he was a coward.
His 'fight to take Juarex showed
whether he was a coward or not The
federals have made It a point to pick
him out aa a mark, and since he was
wounded a short time ago, his officer
and men have refused to allow him to
personally engasre in the battles. Tho
last battle In which I wa engaged he
watched with a field-glass.
"I believe Madero' next move will
be on Chihuahua, and that he will go
from there direct to Mexico City.
Mexico City Besieged.
"Madero would have taken Juarex
three weeks ago last Thursday if he
had not been prevented from doing so
by his father. He had the city sur
rounded with 2700 men. ready for tho
attack, when the ..-.cers received
orders to retreat. The elder Madero
had Just come up overland by way of
Bouche, with a peace proposition.
"The lnsurrectos wanted to get Gen
eral Rebago out of Juarex and Into
Chihuahua, where they could bottle him
up. and In this they succeeded. Neither
news from tho outside world except
what goes Into Mexico City over the
government line, left intact that ne
gotiations between the United State
and Mexico may continue. Mexico City
Is practically In a state of siege now.
But It has plenty of provisions, and
could probably hold out for a long
time.
"Madero has two cannon, made from
engine cylinders, one a seven-foot can
non, and the other a nine-foot. They
were made at the Northwestern Rail
road ahops. Madero also has control
of the Plerson Railroad shops now.
He also lias three machine guns.
Reinforcements Prevented Surren

We were camped about two miles from
Casas Grandes, at Chocolate Pass. We
had approached the city during the
night, and day-break started the at
tack. At about 11 o'clock, the garri
son threw tip the white flag, but pulled
It down again at once, as they had
received reinforcements from the rear.
Colonel Culler, a federal, with ISO
men. had come from Juarex.
"Madero's army ssw there was no
chance but to retreat. The men fell
back slowl. under fire. That wa
Chihuahua nor Mexico City can get
where the heavy loss of men In killed
and wounded came. We lost all our
arms, and 20 horses. We retreated
to the old camp, s rired horses, and
met at S-'sn Ixiuls Ranch, where Ma
dero's main command then was. It
was in this battle that Madero was
shot in tho right arm. He has now
completely recovered, however. Colonel
Culver was also shot through the arm.
so that amputation was necessary. Tee
Newman was the soldier who shot Cul-.
ver. Culver iWe to within 50 yards
of New-man. who was In command of
S men. He then ordered his men to
fire, and was In turn shot himself.
Story of Jttnrez Is Told.
"At San Trills Ranch. Madero ordered
Generals Blanco and Oroxco to come in.
and left 2on0 men there. He then went
to Chihuahua, camping 30 miles from
the city. He made a feint to attack
the place. At first he issued orders
allowing the federals to run trains,
t.rovldod ro troope were trarsnorted.
Riit tit Plax sympathisers acted smart.
o Msdero refused to allow any more
train ii pFS either sir.
"Madero allowed Ribago to enter
Chihuahua from Juarex without a fight.'
although he had n0 men there. He
left . there, and started with, th
other 2000 for Chihuahua. At tho Ma
dero shops wo made the two cannon,
and then went over and took Cases
Grandes. wnlch was almost deserted.
We took It without a fight. Madero
thon returned to Juarex. The attack
on Juarex began last Sunday night,
and continued until Wednesday, when
the town was taken. Before the bat
tle Madero said he expected 600 men
to be killed and wounded. About 600
were wounded and killed. This is the
total of federals and rebels. The rebels
only lost about 100 men.
"The lnsurrectos have been using
carrier pigeons for two months. They
cut the wires from Chihuahua In
March."
