Cientifi JOS May Make War.


Up the war?
Cientifi sos May Make War.
There are the Cientifieos-a restless
circle, a rich circle, an ambitious circle,
of whom the heart and head is Imam
tom. These fine gentlemen have much
to win. much TO lose. More and worse
since most of them have been in power
about Diaz and grown suspiciously r1ch-
er, not poorer, with each descending
slln-they have much to conceal With
these incentives 10 plot and strategems
TO assassination and open warfare, l
cannot think thew. these CientiflcOs, Will
allow Madero with his followers. mill
tary and civil, to carry the great en-
pire Of Mexico over to themselves with
out a struggle. They viii, 1 believe, try
money, try bribery, try bloodshed, before
they abandon the field and confess
themselves-ike Diaz-beaten.
Diaz's Years Caused Surrender.
It was his years, more than anything
else, which defeated Diaz. And Imam
tour and his Cientificos are younger
men. They have not fallen in the vale
of years. They are young; they have
gold without a limit. Were | Madero,
j should watch these gentry and never
place myself within their reach, never
give them an opening through which to
strike.
Most Mexieans. even though tho have
been federals, and fought against that
leader on fields of battle and politics,
have no fear of Madero. He is honest;
they are honest, and Madero and they
have but differed as men often differ;
and he has won. Madero and these
honest supporters of Diaz will find no
difficulty in coming peacefully together.
They can trust one another. Their pJU-
pose was and still Is the same-MeXico,
and the liberty and betterment of her
people They have as stated, differed,
but only as to a. method, never as to an
aim.
Madero and the Honest Men.
Madero can agree with these honest
opponents. To-Day. IN proof of it, he re-
leases Navarro and all his officers and
makes them as free as himself But
AiaderO cannot proceed on similar lines
of frankness and honorable trust with
the Cientificos. If half be true that's
told, the first act of the Nadero gov
eminent viii necessarily be to collar
and punish this circle, not for opposing
him, MaderO, in the field and at the
council table, but for what pillagings
they have been guilty of against the
people at large.
Madero knows this; the Gentificos
know this. And because of that mutual
knowledge, the Cientificos in my opinion,
will begin making trouble within q
week.
Villa To Lower California.
Villa, now at Casas Grandes, will 90 to
Lower California b wipe out Macon
and his red socialists There are two
reasons for sending Villa after the
ebulient MagOnistas/ He is fairly good
scrapper for one thing, and viii make
a success of that proposed wiping cut.
Then, too, his going 10 Lower California
inferen;ially provides for his leaving this
part Of the world.
Villa Is a strong leader, but not safe
leader 4 congenial soldier of fortune,
he Is q Mexican Dugald Dalgetty. He is
much safer in northwest Sonora or Lower
California than he would be about Chi
huahua or in Mexico City. Villa likes
gold and those who have it. And who
has more gold than the enemies of
Madero and Mexican liberty?
0rozco in Chihuahua
Orozco viii have military charge in
Chihuahua with headquarters not too
for from the cit of that name. Madero
can trust OrOzco.
Billy Smiths Idea.
Australian Billy Smith. once invincibIe
as middleweight prizefighter lives in
FL Paso. He long ago quit the ring to
serve the public as a detective. He IS
prosperous and-because he is married.
and has children, and is his own land

troubles, Mr.. Smith said: ''Diaz is like
many of our Drizefighters He got old,
but wouldn't believe it. He stayed in
the ring too long,
