A woman killed the chief of police
and another wounded major OF In
fantry.
A regiment was sent from here to
Pueblo and rumor says that the revo-
lutionists have destroyed the railroad
bridges to prevent them reaching the

been confirmed.
The government has made many ar
rests and captured arms and ammunl'
ton here and in other cities.

had extended their operations to the
state of Vera Cruz, Hidalgo, Coahuila.

Jalisco, Guanajuata, Yucatan and
Zacatecas. Circulars sent out by
Madero or his agents from San An
| tonic, Tex, outline his campaign and
announce Madero as constitutional
president of Mexico. The manifesto
reads:
II, Francisco I. Madero, will place
myself at the head Of a revolutionary
party against the government Of
Mexico. Between the goth and 30th
of November shall lead my followers
against the government of Mexico"
| OF the men arrested here for COM
plicity in the conspiracy one, Cosie
Robelo carried commission from
Madero naming him as governor Of
the state of Hidalgo.
No anti-American talk is being
heard now.
Arrests Are Not Important.
ut Is true conspiracy against the
administration has been unearthed,
but it is mistake to suppose that
the participants, who have been ar
rested are of any Importance"
So said one Of the highest officials
of the government. The official,
whose name is withheld, continued:
1.-THE men under arrest are petty
agitators and malcontents, who have
affiliated themselves with every group
which in the last year or so has or.
ganized opposition to President Diaz's
administration. These men were first
Reyists, then Democrats, then anti-re.
|
been supporters of Francisco l. Ma
dero, who is suspected of supplying
them with money.
'"They are incapable and have no
prestige or any quality necessary to
successful leadership. The present
conspiracy had ramifications. The po-
lice seized arms and ammunition worth
perhaps $4,000 or $4,000 in this city.
at Pachuca and elsewhere"
Francisco Madero was candidate
against Diaz at the late presidential
election in Mexico. NIadero was ar
rested then for a political offense"
and Jailed. He was released last
month on condition that he leave
Mexico. He hurried to Texas.
