WALKER [Special Dispalch to The Call] EL PASO, Tex., April 20.—Madero, ith his command of approximately .700 men, two cannon and two ma- chine guns, is surrounding Juarez on the west, southwest and northwest. The main command is back in the mountains opposite the El Paso smelter and within easy rifle shot of the ex- clusive Sunset heights residence dis- trict of EIl Paso. There is also a smaller command of rebels near Bauche, 12 miles south of Juarez, guarding the trains that were left there to carry the rehels in case of retreat. Francisco I. Madero rode down to the river Thursday morn- ing with his staff to water his hores. He was cheered on the American side and raised his hat to the crowds. In the command of the insurrectos in the foothills of the Sierra Madres are $0 Americans and 40 Tarahuamari Indians, all naked and the best sharp- shooters in Mexico. They will be put in the outpost with the Americans to silence the machine guns and repel the attack from the town. Giuseppe Gari- baldl is in command of the column un- der Madero as his chief of staff and will direct the battle against Juarez. Raoul Madero, brother of Francisco Madero, is in command of one section, Colonel Blanco and Orozco are com- manding divisions, while the sharp- shooters are under the individual charge of the Americans who are being sent out. The three rebel cannon have been stationed on the hills overlooking Juarez, but not in range of El Paso. The machine guns have not been brought out of cover, but they are thought to be at Rancho Flores, to- gether with the ammunition. The supply of food and ammunition is short, according to the Americans, i and many of them have less than 50 | Tounds of ammunition. Garibaldl wiil | Samianiego of El Paso, Luis L. Rk repeat the same plan of attack that was attempted with failure at Casas Grandes. His men will be stationed in the hills, the Americans and Indians sent out as scouts and outposts and will be stationed in the adobe houses on the outskirts of town. Colonel Tamobrel, commanier of the Juarez garrison, sald Thursday morn- ing that official information had been received that General Rabago with a large command of cavalry and heavy artillery had left Chihuahua this morn- ing for Juarez to relleve the town if the attack had not been completed and to retake it if Madero had taken pos- session. The trip will require four or five days of hard marching and will mean another battle in case the town is taken by the rebels. No fighting is expected before Fri- day as the men are not yet in battle position. Madero will command the troops in person and General Juan Na- varro will'direct the federals from his seagoing hack, in which he rides from place to place.
