FULL CONTROL
Declares Ho Saw No Rebels on His
March Except Scattering Pickets
Delay Caused by Bridges Which
Had Been Burned Out by Rebels.
IS FETED AND DINED BY
JUBILANT CITIZENS
Rebel Generals Confer States That
They Will Soon Crush Navarro
and Take Mexico.
101, PASO, Toxns, Fob. in. Cam
paigning of the Mexican instirrectos
around Juarez was believed today to
have come to an end through tho ar
rival of General Navarro with 1,000
federal infantry and 500 regular
Mexican cavalry.
Navarro and his men on their ar
rival were hailed as the saviors of
Northern Mexico and today were tho
heroes of the hour. All last night
and today banquets and feasting in
their honor has been in progress and
tho whole town is en fete.
Navarro declares ho saw no rebels
on Ills inarch except scattering pick
ets, but 'that tho delay In his arrival
was caused by the fact that he had
to repair 20 bridges before his troop
trains could cross. It was expected
that within a few days his troops
will sally forth from Juarez-and tnke
up the hunt for the scattered rebels.
A rebel council of war met today
at Znragosn, whero, it Is said, Mad
oro, Ulnnco and Orozco gathered to
decide tipotf tlio future conduct of
the campaign.
Notwithstanding tho elation of the
Diaz ndheronts in Juarez over Navar
ro's arrival, members of tho revolu
tionary junta here today declare that
within :J0 days they will take Juarez
and Chihuahua simultaneously. "Nav
arro ridicules this prediction, and
says that when his troops are rested,
ho will run ovory rebel out of the
valloy.
Orozco's pickets reappeared about
Juarez early today, and it may be
that tho skirmishing In this vicinity
is not yot over. Gonzales, tho pro
visional governor of Chihuahua, lias
moved his headquarters to Guad
aloupe. His bodyguard yesterday
fired on n force of rurales, causing a
report of a battle.
