nation now being circulated through.
out northern Mexico, in which Maderc
head of the reyolutionists, styles him
self provisional president of Mexico
and warns his followers against pro.

pected to be made here at once by
the government placing a price upon
the rebel leaders head.
No Mercy for Madero.
That the Diaz government has de-
termined that all temporizing must
end at once and the rebellion be
crushed--if it can be crushed-with
an iron hand is known.
The latest move now reported is
taken to mean that no mercy will be
shown Madero; that If he is captured
firing party will end his activity at
the nearest dead wall.
Washington, Nov 25.-The Mexican
revolution is now represented in

comes on the same day that Madero

property
The confidential representative OF
President Madero" is Gustavo A,
Madero, his brother who has made
headquarters in Washington where he
says he has come on a confidential
mission.
Mr.. Madero issued the following
statement:

and its representatives in this country
have endeavored and are still en-
deavoring to cause 1t to appear by
statements given to the press, that
