on the city of Monclova in the state
of Coahuila, at the head Of q we'll
equipped army, said to number as
high as 5000 men. News of Ma
dero being wounded is said to have
been sent out by Mexican officials to
discourage the revolutionists.
This was the report sent by revo-
lutionists across the border into
map, who is revolutionary sympa-
thiZer, received the data in docu-
mentary form from friends in Mexi-
co and it was given out for publica-
ton here today.
a small printed document publish
ed at Chihuahua shows the local stu
alton there and the purported move

Madero's Men Well Armed.
we'll armed, mounted men, recruited
from contrabandia and vagueros. or
Mexican cowboys. from the rich cat
tie country between Monterey and
Chihuahua. Since October Z. it is
said. these men have been engaged
in smuggling arms from the border,
where they were received from San
Antonio. All the funds were sup
piled by the Mexican junta and by
Madero personally.
1t is said that both the mounted
troops and infantry of Madero carry
modern repeating rifles Of 1890 cal
iber Madero's mounted soldiers are
considered particularly efficient. The
foot soldiers were recruited from the
cotton belt, where it was known for
ready to take up arms.
According to the reports reaching
Douglas Madero's first movement
was bold stroke. With his men he
marched TO the great ranch owned
by General Terranzas, at Sans Os-
tenes, where he captured 400 horses.
Madero and his soldiers then moved
into the mountains. Here with his
troops he will be able to stand eff
the government army for an indefi-
mite period if the claim of the revo-
lutionary sympathizers is we'll found
ed.
The only big force of government
troops in the vicinity where Madero
is operating is under command of
General Travino, who is reported
moving by rail from Monterey tow
ard Monclova. to give battle to Ma
dero if possible,
Travino's forces are said to be in
ferior in numbers to Maderos. Gen
eral Travino is reported to have left
Monterey November p, but support
ers of Madero believe that the. revo-
lrtionary leader has destroyed the
bridges, compelling the government
forces to march overland.
News received on this side of the
line today states unqualfiedly that
several towns in the state of Chihua-
hua are in the hands of the rebels.
The more important of these places
are Guerrero, San Andreas, San Isa-
dro, Ojinada and Guerachic-
1t is believed here that there can
be little doubt that the revolution
lists have the upper hand in Chihua
hua. There were available in that
state only 10 soldiers of the Next
can Twelfth infantry. These, with
four officers. left Chihuahua Novem-
Der 81 to retake from the revolution
lists the cities above named.
