GAINING control OF
SITUATION IN MEXICO

being known until after the revolu-
ton broke out.
Arms Struggled Into Mexico.
Arms were smuggled into Mexico
largely By fording the river southwest
of this city in a remote ranch region.
The Madrro estates of COahuila ex-
tend many miles along the Mexican
side of the river at the point where
the crossing was made. During his
/ operations here Madero talked freely
OF his opposition to the Dlaz regime,
but spoke OF peaceable revolution
and denied any completely with the
revolutionary Junta that has existed
here for two years.
Madero raniIy Wealthy.
The Madero family is wealthy. In
northern Mexico it owns thousands of
acres of good land, in Coahuila and
Nuevo Leon. and carries considerable
bank accounts in New York and Paris-
The leading banks in the states NAM
ed are controlled by the Maderos and
their ability to raise ready money is
said to be great. The loyalty Of the
other members of the family has nev~
er been questioned, with the eXcep-
tion OF the father and brothers of
Francisco. The vast resources of this
| branch OF the family are supposed to-
! be available for the use of the leader
| in the present outbreak.
Madero Had Many Visitors.
During more than the forty days
hat Madrro remained in this coun-
try he was in constant consultation
a, one OF the leading family hotels
here with visitors from all sections
Of Mexico, who usually remained only
il few days. His family is still at the
hotel. Just before Madero left to
join the insurrectionists in Mexico,
shipments of arms to a friend OF his
in his city were apprehended and the
fact became known that he was ac-
lively leading the revolutionary party.

parently unfounded rumors were
sent out of Eagle Pass this after
noon that the revolutionary force was
marching on Ciudad Portirio Diaz ana.
that an attack was expected tonight.
1t was said several hundred Madero-
lists had assembled in Eagle Pass and
would attack from this side. Custom

Torreon Has Surrendered.
Eagle rass, Texas, Nov. 23.-Em-
ployes of the federal telegraph lines
in Ciudad Porforio Diia say Torreon
has surrendered to the rebels and that
MAdero is now in Vest City. All
arms and ammunition there have been
confiscated by them, but the owners

paid for the guns. An American con-
ductor reaching Eagle Pass today
from Torreon says he counted twenty
one bodies of Mexican soldiers, police
and Rurales in Gomez PalaciO on Mon
day.
Mexican Troops Busy.
Mexico City, Nov. 23.-There is
general movement of troops to Par
raj. Jiminez and Chihuahua. At
Monterey measures have been taken
to prevent trouble, but the people ap-
par to be Indifferent to the movement.
Guadalajara is reported quiet. At
Chihuahua an attack made by the
rioters had been resisted up to noon.
About that time troops arrived from
San Antreas and dispersed the diot-
ers. Efforts made by the revolution
lists to enlist railroad men in their
cause at Nuevo Laredo have failed.
Word from Torreon says that the
stories of the sacking of ranch in
the San Antonio district were untrue.
