BY ATHEMAN STEVENS.

Fl PaSo, Tex, March l5.-Provisional
Secretary OF State Senor Gonzales Cara
says that Gen. Blanco has Joined Madero
and has given him absolute fealty. He
also says that Orozco IS with the pro-
visionsl President and that both Blanco
and Orozco, who have been at odds, will
nov take orders from Madero.
As far as the tunta and the Juarez
officials know, Madero is still in the
neighborhood Of San Diego Rancho. One
authority gives Madero one-pound field
piece and two machine guns, but the
junta knows nothing OF his possessing
any artillery. Whether Madero is NOV
ing on Juarez or Aqua Prieta, there is
no means of determining. l cannot find
any reason to believe that he is NOV
ing at all, unless he has managed to
replace his commiSSary wagon train,
which he lost entirely at Casas Grandes.
No one at Juarez or this city knows
positively what the Madero plans are;
and one guess is as good as another.
Prisoners All Safe.
Col. Tamborel, the ccmmandant at
Juarez, to-day made statement that
will relieve all apprehension about the
American prisoners in Col. Cuellar's camp
not be executed" said Col. Tamborel.
They have never been in any danger OF
execution, for they are regarded as pris-
oners Of war. When they leave CasaS
G-andes they will be sent to Chihuahua
and given a trial. and if found guilty
or sedition. will be punished; but as TO
summary treatment, that is impossible.
col Cuellar is recovering rapidly
from the effect of the amputatiOn OF
his right arm; it is probable that he will
he able to take the field very soon, and
he will do so at the earliest opportunity.
There are altogether forty foreign
prisoners at Casas Grandes. I have not
their names and do not know how many
e them are Americans.
I'VE have no definite news as to Ma
dCro'S whereabouts, though our best in
formation is that he was still at San Di-
ego Rancho when last heard of"
OF the forty prisoners Of whom Col.
Tamhorel speaks. it is probable that the
majority are Americans. 1t is admitted
10y All who came back from the Casas
G~andes right afte- the battle that Ma
d"rp had lost seventeen or Whereabouts
Americans captured.
Roosevelt Is CautiouG
FL Paso had breakfast to-day with Col
Roosevelt. It was a real function at
the Toltec Club and in appointments
lacked nothing that could have better
marked Western greetings with the re-
nncd appurtenances of New York re-
sources. The colonel did a splendid stunt
Of rhetoricslly riding a Diaz thorough
bred and Madero broncho simuIta-
noouSly in the verbal ring that he talk
Cd. He began by expressing his pleasure
at the presence at the table of Mayor
Martinez and the collector of customs of
Juarez, and cOmplimented Mexico
highly.
He's all for Diaz." was whispered
a~0und from table TO table. But his next
sentences were taken as being for the
MadcristaS. because he said he wished
prosperity in Mexico, coupled with or
der. justice. and independence" And in
closing h" said that Mexico's prosperity
should he secured through the practice
Of th" Sreat fundamental principles OF
c.vl!ization-ordor and Justice"

courage He said nothing except As il
may be construed by the wishes of those
who heard.
Gonzales Is Disappointed.
And that was not all tho sidestcppfng
tn" colone! did. 1t had been planned. as
indicated some days ago. to have Secre-
lary OF State Gonzales Cara meet the
Visitor and ride with him on the train
a. far as Las Cruces when the two were
10 have a confidential talk on the Mexi-
can situation.
Senior Cara went with friends to the
sTcakors's stand in the park, where the
colonel made a public address. and at
the conclusion was introduced to the col
on"L who said: 'D-e-e-lighted to meet
you.'
But still the appointment on the train
Was supposed to hold, and Senor Cara,
With the friend who mad arranged the
matter, jumped into an automobile and
drove to the depot, where he found the
coIonel's train had gone just a moment
before
Senior Cara. who is a most delightful
gentleman and an ardent friend of the
colonel feels that il was only the result
Of accident that prevented the private
conference that would have meant so
much to him and possibly to his cause:
but there are others who know the colo
nels alert perception OF foreshadowed
embarrassments who think otherwise.
There are many things that Indicate
the revolution is about over. First, the
Gordon of United States troops has or
soon will shut of the supplying of the
lnsuTectos with munitions of war and
