| Madero Keeps on Fighting.
Ell Paso, Texas, March 25.-Confi-
dent that the resignation of President
Diaz' cabinet means the end of the
present political regime in Mexico and
the institution of great reforms but
still uncertain as to the immediate
results which may follow the selec-
ton of new cabinet, members of the
insurrecto junta today insisted that
the insurrection will proceed. The
development at Mexico City is regard
ed as direct result of Senor Liman-
tours conferences with the insurrecto
agents in New York. The insurrecto
junta here however, declared today
that Madero will continue to prevent
railroad and telegraphic communica-
ton throughout northern Mexico and
will endeavor to capture more towns
as basis of supplies.
Resignation Much Discussed.
Mexico City, March 25.-The resig
nation of the Diaz cabinet last night
continues to be the absorbing topic of
discussion. Great interest is felt in
who will be designated for the more
important positions in the cabinet,
but nothing definite was learned dur
ing the morning. The official reason
given for the resignation was the be
lief that it would assist the re-estab-
fishing of peace and facilitate the
contemplated reforms.

Colonia Diaz, Mexico, on March II

the war situation as serious. After
the severe fighting at Casas Grandes
on the 9th, many wounded rebels

The natives are making threats
against the Mormons, but we are try
ing to follow strictly neutral course.
Mines are being shut down, thus clos
ing off our produce markets. The ma
tive farmers are not planting seed
and famine will follow. A great num-
ber of native women and children are
living in our colonies, and some of
them are being fed by direction of the
bishop. The rebels seem to be honor
able men and fighting for principle.
The poor federal soldiers are driven
like animals and are not sufficiently
fed. Many of our citizens are selling
their property for whatever they can
get, ana leaving the country"
Sanitation in Army Camp.
San Antonio, Texas, March 25.-Un-
Gle Sam is not taking any chances on
the possible spread of disease in the
military camp at Fort Sam Houston.
While the story is general among re.
cruits that one of the reasons for the
mobilization of the armv here Is on
account of the healthful conditions,
every precaution is taken to prevent
an outbreak of disease of any kind.
About the busiest thing in the camp
is the anti-typhoid fever bacillus
Soldiers, after being introduced to this
by vaccination which is compulsory,
are excused from duty for 48 hours
and given an opportunity to get thor
oughly familiar with the manners and
customs of their new acquaintance.
Upon the whole, however, the soldiers
here are unusually healthy, nothing
more serious than the measles and
mumps having made appearance in
the camp. Tents pitched upon high
rolling ground with an abundance of
pure water, access to baths, and splen-
did drainage are responsible for the
excellent health of the troops.
An Imaginary Battle.
Ell Paso, Texas, March 25.-The Her
aid correspondent at Colonia Dublan
Chihuahua, states positively that the
reported battle of Chocolate Pass did
not occur. No rebels or federals were
near there at the me. The federal
soldiers took all the machinery from
the meal and flour mill at Colonia
Diaz because the, rebels had ground
corn there. The rebels forced the
owner to let them grind, but the fed
erals now deprive entire colony of the
meal and flour as a result

| New York, March 25.-The National
Railways of Mexico and other finan-
cial interests here with large hold
ings in Mexico, are without other
news today, from the capital than

highly advisable that a prompt expla-
nation OF the causes leading to the
resignation of the cabinet yesterday
be forwarded at the earliest possible
moment.
