Ell PASO. Texas, Nov. 23.-It Is re-
ported that Francisco Madero, the
revolutionary leader, accompanied by
nearly 1000 men, mounted, attacked
Cuatro Cienegas tonight at IL o'clock.
and battle is now in progress. This
came from Torreon at midnight.
According to a dispatch received at
a. M, fighting has been going on at
Torreon since early last evening,
crowd of 1000 revolutionists are on the
river front opposite the city and 600
soldiers are engaged against them on
the city side.
Large numbers of rebels are reported
killed, most of them unarmed.
The Mexican Central right Of way is
being kept cleared by soldiers and
rurales.
The roads leading there are crowded
with men going to the place, and 1t is
estimated more than $4,000 are present.
Neither the police nor troops are fol-
lowing. The latter seem content in
policing Gomez Palacio and Torreon.
The rebels at Torreon have driven
the soldiers from the river banks into
the city streets and captured 100 of
them. The soldiers have been rein
forced by nearly 800 infantry which
came from the south and detrained
four miles south of the city.
REBELS GETTING BOIDER
The rebels are becoming more numer-
Gus and bolder and they seem to have
more arms.
A passenger train on the Mexico
Northwestern railroad, running be-
tween Chihuahua and MADEIRA, was
fired into last night and several second
class passengers killed. The number,
names and details could not be Sc
cured, as the telegraph wires have all
been cut.
Fighting has taken place at San An
dres and Temosachi, along the railroad.
An order was issued today by the
Mexican postal officials to refuse adj
mittance to all American newspapers
containing reference TO the Mexican
revolution.
Five thousand men in a construction
camp of the Mexico Northwester rail-
road near Casas Grandes, Chihuahua,
threaten to revolt tonight. The mayor
of Casas Grandes has telegraphed a
renuest for troops, stating that the city
will be in the hands of the rebels II
reinforcements are not received.
Virtually all OF the surrounding
country is in the hands OF the rebels,
according to good authority.
A train load of ten cars OF soldiers
arrived at Parral at noon and inn
mediately dislodged the revolutionists
from their fortified position above Par
raj.
They fled in disorder. presumably

the river is unfaithful to its name.
"Courbevoie, one of the suburbs of

that the water is very deep. People
circulate in skiffs. They have sent to

There are thousands of people home

Thousands of houses are collapsing,
their foundations being Slapped by the
waters. There has not been such a
flood for several centuries
THE house where I am is founded

But many palaces, even, along the
Seine have water in their cellars. At

"The people-the Partisan public is

MANY lines of tramway have been

Defeat in Attempt to Stir

Washington, Feb. IL. - South and
Central Americans in Washington have
been thrown into a state of violent agi-
tation by the news of Castro's arrival
in the Canaries. Some Of them pre-
dict a general uprising in Venezuela
to welcome their old ruler. but older
men and better acquainted with con-
ditions in Venezuela smiled incredu-
lousy and predicted disappointment
and defeat for the old dictator If he
cherished the idea of overturning the
present government in Venezuela and
establishing himself again as head of
the state. They say his finances are
at too low an ebb and the Canaries
too far away for the successful or
ganization of a revolution.

flame. Ethel Cressy, a dining room
girl, discovered the fire and informed
Mrs. Kerr. who was using the tele-
phone at the time. She became ex-
cited and instead Of calling the fire
station dropped the receiver and
started for the. fire alarm box at Third
avenue and Sixteenth street. The
time consumed in turning in the alarm
resulted in the blaze getting well I'M
der way. It is thought that the fire
burned under the roof several minutes
before ii broke through. One of the
girls detected the odOr of burning
wood and called Mrs. Kerr's attention
to the fact. AS wood had been placed
in the furnace only a few minutes be-
fore, it was though that it was the
furnace fire that caused the odor. a
large crowd gathered quickly and
nearly all of the furniture was carried
out of the house before the firemen
reached the scene. Some of the fur
niture bedding and clothing was dam
aged by water. Mr.. Kerr purchased
the property last summer and after
remodeling and building an addition

DAVENPORT

Mother Dead; Son Missing.-A tel
egram received yesterday by Chief Of
Police Thomas Atkinson from the au-
thorities at Newton, Iowa, asks the
4 aid of the local police in the search for
Z Frank Besack. whose mother is dead
at Newton. The telegram stated that
Besack is molder by trade and may
be employed at one Of the local foun-
dries, as the last heard of him was in
Davenport. His mother is dead at
Newton and he is sought by his rela-
tives, who are not aware of his exact
location. The police have taken the
matter up and the president Of the
local molders union has been consult.
ed to ascertain whether or not Besack

May Lose Arm from Accident
William Walton, an oiler employed at
the Corn Products company and resid-
ing at 1905 Washington street, was
seriously injured while at work in the
engine shop Of the plant and as a re
suit of which he will probably suffer
the loss Of his right arm. The mem
Der was practically torn from the
socket when he was caught IN the ele-
vator shaft, and when he was picked
up by fellow employees he was in ser
ious condition He was at once rushed
to the Davenport hospital. 1t is thought
amputation will be necessary to pre-
vent further serious results to the IN
jured man. At the time of the injury
Walton was at work near the shaft
and in some manner slipped and was
caught in the machinery, his arm be-
ing broken and torn in a severe man
ner. In addition to this injury. he re-
ceived bruises on parts Of his body that
makes his injury the more serious
Mr.. Walton has been employed at the
plant for about year.

but was afterwards engaged in team

To Buy New Site for Church.
Swedish Methodist trustees and con-
gregatiOn met at the church and the
following decision was reached: First,
that they should buy the Tyrrell prop
erty at the corner of Twelfth avenue
and Thirteenth street, at once, whether
they sell the present property now or
not, and secondly, that they would
establish a mission in the east end,
near the boundary of East Moline.
This last move was thought to be
necessary as the building on the bluff
property, though 1t may not occur at
once-being contingent on the selling
of the present property-would make
the distance for east end members too
great. The mission will be started at
once. 1t was decided TO instruct the
trustees TO sell the old property. all
or none. This includes the church
and parsonage and the ground on
which they stand The price was left
to the trustees, though a minimum
price was determined on A f. Froyd
and the pastor were appointed a COM
mittee to receive bids for the property
An offer for part of the property at

Not Afraid For Greenvile-Gre"n-
willie county is to have a vote on dis
penSary or no diSpensary in NOvem-
ber. The petition for such an cleo
ton was very quietly circulated and
the required number of names was Sc
cured. The county authorities have
made n very careful count and exam
inatiOn of the names on the petitions
and find that there is no option left
them but to order the election. We
understand that Greenville county is
the only county in the state that could
have an election this fall and that the
whisky folks are not without conf
dence and intend to put up the NUM-
tionS of war. OF course, such reports
about confidence and the munitions OF
war circulate freely in all whisky cleo
ton contests. We have no fears
whatever as to the outcome. Our be-
lief is that the sentiment in GreenVille
county is overwhelmingly against any
form of the legal sale of whisky. AS
we see the situation the dispensary In
this county is dead and buried and
rotted and without the hopes of res
direction. The temperance forces here
have no uneasiness: but their conf
dence will not put them to sleep; and
of this their brethren in the state may
