DOUGLAS, Ariz., Nov. 25.-Madero,
the leader of the Mexican revolution
lists, is not wounded, as reported, but
is marching on the city of Monciova,
in the state of Coahuila, at the head
of we'll equipped army, said to num-
Der as high as 5000 men.
This was the report brought by revo-
lutionary sympathizerS~ across the bor-
der int Douglas today. Much other
information concerning the movements
of the revolutionists and the extent of
the fighting also reached Douglas in
the same way. A local business man,
who is a revolutionary sympathizer, re-
ceiv tie data from friends in Mexi-
co, and it was given out for publica-
ton hero tonight.
A small printed document published
in Chihuahua, shows the local situa-
ton there and the purported move
ments of Madero. This document ac-
companed the others smuggled in to-
day.
Madero is purported to have 1000 well
armed, mounted men, recruited from
contrabandia and vaqueros, or MeXi
| can c>E-1oys, from the rich section of
country between Monterey and Chi
| huahua. Since October Z, it is said,
these men have been engaged in SNUG
Cling arms across the border, whence
they arrived from San Antonio. All
the funds were supplied by the Mex
ican junta and by Madero personally.
REBELS WELL ARMED
The cowboys are said also to have
smuggled arms for the foot soldiers,
and that both the mounted troops and
infantry of I1auero carry repeating
rifles of 30-30 caliber. Madero'S
mounted soldiers are considered par
ticularly efficient.
The foot soldiers were recruited from
the cotton belt, where it was known
for a long time that the poems were
reaaX to take up arms.
According to the reports reaching
Douglas, Madero's first movement was
a bold stroke. With his men he
marched to the great ranch owned by
Terrazas, newly appointed governor of
Chihuahua, at Sans Ostenes, Where he
capt red 400 horses. Madero and his
soldi .rs then moved into the noun
tains. Here with his troops he will be
able to stand off the government army
for an indefinite period, is the claim
of the revolutionary sympathizers.
The only big force of government
troops in the vicinity where Madero is
operating, is under command of Gen.
Travino, who is reported moving by
rail from Monterey toward Monclova
to give battle to Madero if possible.
Travino's forces are said to be in
ferior in numbers to Madero's. Gen.
Travino is reported to have left Mon
terey November 81, but supporters of
Madero believe that the revolutionary
leader has destroyed the bridges, COM
pelling the government forces to march
overland.
Dispatches received by the revolu-
tionists on this side of the line to-
day, state unqualifiedly that several
towns in the state of Chihuahua are in
the hands of IT, rebels. The more inn
portant Of these places mentioned are
Guerrero San Andreas, San Isidro,
Cjinada and Guerachic.
BRIDGES ARE BURNED
1t IS believed here that there can be
little doubt that the revolutionists
have the upper hand in Chihuahua.
There was, available in that state only
10 foot soldiers of the Mexican twelfth
infantry, which with four officers left
chihuahua November 21 to retake
from the reVolutionists the cities named
above The government troops start
ed by train but found the bridges
burned and are now marching over
land.
After two days of forced marches
they are said to have met the revou-
tionists but in the midst of the re-
ports of the first engagement commun-
ication was cut and since then no
more has come through.
In the towers OF Ine Ola cdLneufal at
Chihuahua two gatling guns have been
mounted, ard five machine guns have
been placed on the heights commands
ing the city.
According to the information re-
ceived, Parral, in the extreme south
ern part of the state of Chihuahua, is
in the hands of the revolutionists. An
engagement was expected there Ut any
time, it was said.
Revolutionists are reported gather
ing in Cohuilo, Parade, Coyame and
outside of Ojinada.
Madero owns many cotton pianta-
tions between Monterey and Chihua-
hua, and he waited until his followers
were armed, when he crossed into Mex
leo to lead the organized forces. Ma
edro was educated at st. Louis, where
he graduated as a civil engineer.
MILITARY IN CONTROL
Gen. Terrazas. the newly appointed
governor of Chihuahua is not a broth
er-in-law of Minister Creel as report
ed, but is the latters father-in-law.
He is almost as old as Diaz, but re-
