E. Paso. Tex, November 25.--WhIe the whereabouts of Francisco l. Madero are not definitely known, it cannot be stated with certainty that the present compul- sorry quiet in Mexico will continue. This Is the opinion of Texans who know Mexico and its people as they know their own state. A great mass of cor respondence has come in during the last three days from Parral Chihuahua and Torreon from business men, lawyers, doc tors and quasi-newspaper men. All mini-
 nize the disorders of a week ago and all declare that the government is in control except in a few scattered places.
 Tie insurrectors at present operating spasmodically in the Chihuahua mining district are for the most part unarmed.
 They are opposed to President Diaz,
 but thler forays are of little importance. They must be organized and armed bo-
 fore they become real threat to the government.
 There is one man on this continent at present who can do this and that is Gen. eral Madero The story from Eagle Pass yesterday that he was wounded remains unoonfrmed. A yarn received some cir eulation tonight out of Douglas, Ariz.. that Madero was at the head of a large and well organized body of troops but the story indefinite as to where he and tho troops are. The tale is given mention merely as sample of the rumors that get abroad and not because there Is any reason to place credence in 1t. The fact that the insurreeto leaders whereabouts is not known leads to the supposition that he is engaged in an at tempt to join some band of his sympa- thizers with arms and other munitions of war. But this is only supposition. If ls fails to do so, the small bands now obroad undoubtedly will be gradually suppressed | in due time.
 | On the other hand if Madero reache. l his sympathizers with supplies and arms l 1t Is the opinion of many that Mexico l will SC a real revolution. Admitting in | the absence of information of a reliable l character that he is really working his
 way in secret to the disaffected districts
 around Chihauhan, 1t may be weeks be- 1 fore he emerges into the open for bat l tie
 X letter from a correspondent of ths I Times of ttIts city, under yesterday B 1 date at Chihauhau, makes mention of a l report in that city that son Of Enrique .Creel has been taken captive by insur-
 rectos This rlmor, the correspondent adds, arises from the fact that young 1 Creel left the city week ago to inspect some property in the mountains and has
 not been heard from since. Some of the correspondents mail wait- i ed at the postoffice two days before be- ing dispatched. Tn an attack on a train at St. Andres. correspondent states that American passengers were treated with every courtesy but soldiers and Mexi- cans in the third class coaches were fired upon by the insurgents. The soldiers made
 no resistance, Just why Is not men toned, but possibly they had not yet been armed
 In any event tine engineer saved the day by pulling out with his train Among the killed, according to the correspond
 ent, were Col. D. Pablo M. Yepez, who
 was in charge of the troops, three sol
 ders and two women.
 The Times advices from this source declare that five prominent citizens were arrested last Tuesday because they were l alleged to have held office in the anti reelection faction.
 Three of them were lawyers, Aureliana S. Gonzales, Thomas Silva and Pasqual Mejia.
 The correspondent confirms reports that members of the Chihuahua Gun club have pledged themselves to aid in the defense of the city if their services are needed. They were given stations on top of the cathedral, in the municipal pal ace the theatre and Casino clubhouse.
 Yesterday the correspondent says the mayor of Mipaca. who was relieved of his office by insurrectos, arrived in Chihua- hua, having concealed himself among the freight of the express car to avoid search by the so-ca1lcd revolutionists. The ter ritory now disturbed by the insurgents. the correspondent says. stretches from Bustillos to Minaca
