Madero's Camp, near El Paso, Tex,
April 1.-Simultaneously with the
arrival in camp tonight of Francisco
Madero, ST., and his peace mission
aries. General Madero stated that he
would make no attack on Juarez Tor
another twenty-four hours.
This decision was due partly to the
arrival Of his father as advance agent
of the dove of peace but principally
70 a code telegram from DR.. VasquezI
Gomez at Washington insisting that
an attack on the city across the river
from Eel Paso at this time would be
unwise, and probably would be the
signal for American intervention. Dr.
Gomez insisted that public sentiment
at this time is in favor of ending the
strife, and that certain heavy loss OF
life In an attack on Juares would turn
the tide of moral support away from
the rebellion.
The leader of the revolt was plain
ly perplexed at the situation IN which
he found himself. Not to attack now
would, he knows, make him a greater
laughing stock than was Oroseo. who
came to the city gates month ago
only to retreat without firing an of
fensive shot. Incidentally one of his
principal leaders has told him that II
the present campaign ends in IL
aseo he will leave the general forces
and operate independently.
On the other side is the fact that
Diaz has made great concession in
changing his cabinet ministers, the
pressure from Washington and from
members Of his own family.
The peace missionaries arrived at y
o'clock tonight. the party consisting
of Francisco Madero. Sr., his brother,
Ernesto, his son Alfonso, Rafael l..
Hernandez and Fredrico Moye, a
merchant OF chihuahua who Joined
the mission at that city.
These men, thinking to meet the
rebel ohieftain west OF chihuahua,
travelled 1000 miles to catch up with
him. BY reason of disrupted rail-
roads, burned bridges, derailments
and other vicissitudes what should
have been a mere jump across the RIO
Grande required seven whole days
ten changes Of cars, four relays OF
horses and the circumscribing of the
state.
The last stage Of the journey was
by horse from Bauche, thirty kilo'
meters south, where the battle was
fought last Saturday. Senor Moy'
rode at the head of the weary caval'
cade with a flag of truce. The en-
blem ordinarily is a towel, and serv
ed faithfully for the party during thu
rougher parts of the trip in that ca
pacity. II did not live up to its new
dignity, for occasionally Moye's arm
would tire and the flag" would ge
so tangled in the cactus that th'
services of half of the party were re
qulred to release it.
The weary animals at last plunge'
INTO what seemed a bottomless pi
when nearing the smelter. For mill
or more the trail wound in deel
arroyo and then suddenly burst upoi
the camp. Everywhere groups o
men huddled over small brushwoo'
fires. Stars lighted the chasm an
TO the north the belching flames o
the El Paso smelter lent a glow =

at hand. He was told first by an Az

ago, and more formally later by Senc
Moye. There was no discussion bt
arrangements were made for q flu
