MEXICO CITY, July i7.--war has broken
out between Francisco / Madero. leader
OF the late successful revolution against
the Diaz government and President de Ia
Barra. The break came to-day when
Gustavo Madero. brother Of Francisco,
and Juan Sanchez. the revolutionary
leaders private secretary. called upon
President de Ia Barra for the purpose Of
presenting protests against the Govern
ment. which, Madero asserts. has per-
mitted the recent outbreaks throu ghout
the republic, notably that at Puebla last
week
The protestants say that de Ia Bsrra
has been weak and that his indifference
toward the affairs of the republic has
been the cause Of many Of the old Diaz
officials remaining in Office. This. il is
alleged. has caused the conflicts between
them and the Maderists. 1t is said that
there was no cause for these clashes and
the demand is made that de Ia Barra in
future maintain order by removing from
office all the Diaz hold overs. replacing
them 10y follow ers of Madero. Maderos
people say that il this Is done there will
he no more trouble.
IL il the claim Of Madero that the
trouble at Puebla was due entirely TO the
followers Of Diaz who are attempting to
discredit Madero by sho wing that he is
unable to maintain order in Mexico. II
is said further that Madero does not fear
a counter revolution in the republic and
that the movements which have occurred
recently do not show any concerted action
in favor OF any opposition candidate for
the Presidency Of the republic.
Madero's platform on which he will
face the voters in the coming campaign
consists Of but two planks against
the reelection of President to Office and
would seem that the latter plank is
directed against Lord Cowdray and his
oil company.
For some reason the Maderos seem
great ly prejudiced against Cowdray. and
it has been said that Immediately after
the election. il Madero il successful all
the concessions OF Lord Cowdray will be
cancelled Madero charges that they
we're illegally obtained from the Diaz
Government and for this reason every
effort has been made TO prevent the sale
Of the Cowdray interests to John W. Gates
and his associates.
For the last few weeks Lord Cowdrav
has been in New York city. and Madero
ia of the opinion that he has been striving
while there to make an alliance with the
Standard OIL Company. II would appear
from all this that the oil controversy is
about the most important issue in the
coming campaign.
An effort was made to see President
de la Barra to-day. but he would not
receive callers II Is generally considered
here that De Ia Barra is merely filing the
Office Of President in the most perfunctory
manner. while Madero dictates the pol

course it IL predicted that De la Barra ie

dealing with the problems which now
confront the Government.
In that oale hls oonrse Is is rretty sure

own initiative sent 700 troops from this
city to Puebla on Friday to preserve
order and to muster out the Maderistss

WASHINGTON. July II. several dee-
patches which reached Washington to-day
from representatives of the Government
in Mexico and along the border indie ate
that the situation between the Federal
authorities and the followers Of Madero
is increasing in seriousness. Consul Dye
at Nogales reported that the conditions
in that district were growing worse and
that a clash between the Federals and
the Maderi.t soldiers was threatened at
Cananea over an attempt of the Federal
authorities to muster the Maderists out
Of the service
Similar reports came also from the
army authorities in the vicinity Of Nogales
and also from agents OF the Treasury De-
partment and Department OF Justice.
Accordingly orders were telegraphed by
the War Department to Gen. Duncan,
commanding the Department Of Texas,
temporarily suspending the order issued
ten days ago for the withdrawal of a
portion Of the troops stationed along the
Rio Grande opposite Nogales,
