GENERAL MADERO
IS DISTRACTED
Rumors of Pending American
Intervention Are Cause
of His Worry
HELD RESPONSIBLE;
DOES NOT CONTROL
More Than 5000 Insurgents
Are Operating, Who Do
Not Recognize Him
As Their Chief

JUAREZ, MEN, May 24.--Rumors
OF pending American Intervention in
Mexico to-day added new difficult s
to the position OF Francisco l, Madero
These rumora were almost the y lie
topic of conversation in Madero' 8
camp.
The insurgeur chieftain declined to
issue any statement regarding re-
ports from Torreon that number Of
japanese were slain there during two
days OF rioting by inSurgent troops.
1t ts generally expected by Mexicans
and army men both here and at san
Antonio, however, that If the reports
prove true. Japan will demand that
the United States take action under
the Monroe doctrine and guarantee
the safety OF Japanese In Mexico.
Madero is greatly puzzled by the sit
uation. If he goes to Mexico City,
he and Foreign Minister DE la Barra.
as president pro tempore. will be
forced to assume before the nations
OF the world responsi bility for the
acts of all insurrectos in Mexico. Yet
Madero does not have control over
$4,000 insurgents operating in the
southwestern part OF Mexico under
General Figueroa, nor bands in the
Vera Cruz district, or on the Pacific
coast. Moreover, Madero fears that
representatives OF General Diax may
block his hopes Of gaining control
over bands of scattered insurgents
who are fighting. not for Madero, or
any particular man, but against dag.
Madero Is Distracted
The question of American interven-
ton, doubt as to the loyalty of all
the insurgents and the apparent rest
lessness of his troops here, who de-
pIore their present idleness, are unit
ing to bring Madero almost to q szate
of distraction. Maderos only state
ment in explanation OF his delay In
going to tho national capital is that
ne Is waiting for the retirement OF
General Diaz -,
Socialists headed by Edward Magon
assert that Madero is a representative
OF the money power They declare
that Torreon outrages Will bring
about American Intervention. which.
they assert, is desired by the inter
ests" in the United States Madero
denies this charge. declaring he is op-
posed to oil American monopolies aud
trusts.
Much criticism is heard here of
the action OF the United States Gus
toms office in permitting carloads Of
ammunition and guns to cross the in
ternational border the same as mer-
ehandise. 1t Is pointed out that in
the vent of American intervention this
would be used against American
troops The insurgents at Juarez are
now carrying three times as much am
muniuon as Is ordinarily carried by
soldiers in the regular armies OF the
world.
