To Use Armored Cars.

Mexico City, Feb. 13.-Military trains, modelled after those employed by the Russian in the campaign of Japan, are being prepared for use against the rebels in Chihuahua Four cars lined with tempered steel anu containing 72 loopholes each, some of which will accommodate mountain cannon, are about to be put in com mission, it became known today. The cars are being constructed in factories in this city, after a design said to have been suggested by General Man uel Mondragon, chief of artillery
 They will be sent to General Ma. varro for a practical demonstration of their utility
 These portable forts have the wood en exterior of ordinary freight car except that they are painted Nike checkerboards so that the portholes are hard to distinguish. The interior, sides and top, is lined with sheet steel. Between these walls of wood and steel, are four inches of sand The cars were inspected by the min ister of war yesterday and met with approval. Each car costs in the neigh borhood of $1,0O0.
 A telegram from General Luque from Ojinaga, recently, stated that a detachment of his forces had been sent to attack a formidable group of rebels who were again menacing Coy anne, fifty miles west, which until re- gently has been occupied by federals, but now is undefended or garrisoned by 4 very small force. The rebels were said to be under the leadership of Anselmo Munoz. and to be strong Gy entrenched in the canyon of TiDur- cio, where they were awaiting the arrival of the federals. They are thought to be the same band which was disfodged a few days ago from the hill of Fl Mulato.
 From Chihuahua comes a report that the rebels have burned a bridge near Juarez, which had been recently reconstructed by the repair train in which General Navarro is proceeding northward. causing a further delay in the resumption of train service on the north end of the Mexican Central.

INSURRECTOS
 SCATTERING
STATE DEPARTMENT BELIEVES ONLY GUERRILLA. WARFARE IS
 BEING CARRIED ON.
Mexican Army Being Equipped With Armored Cars to Operate Against the Insurgents In the State of
 Chihuahua.

Washington, Feb. 13.--In the opin- ion of the state department the revo- lutionary movement in Mexico has de- generated into a mere guerrilla war fare, the so-eaBed insurrectos being hopelessly divided with each would-be leader acting on his own initiative and without any commenting figure around whom they may rally.
 The main concern of the depart ment at present is that some of the Irresponsible element may fall into ways of mischief and be led into an infringement of the rights of Amer ican citizens.
 So far the state department has received no official confirmation of re- ports of atrocities committed on non- combatants by Mexican federal troops.

Madero at Fl Paso.

Fl Paso, Tex, Feb. 13.-The self styled provisional president of Mex ico, Francisco I. Madero, is in Fl Paso. unless he has slipped out in the last "A hours. So confident are the United States officials thai the directing head of the Mexican revolution is still here that they had warrant this after noon for his arrest.
 The warrant was issued by United States Commissioner George B. Oliver. The issue of the warrant came as a result of the capture of papers on the person of Martin Casll- Has, revolutionary leader. as he was returning to Mexico Sunday from a visit to El Paso.
 The papers were in the handwrlt- ing of Madero and were signed by him. All were dated February 12 at Fl Paso.
 The warrant charges that Madero planned an armed military expedition against friendly nation and caused arms and ammunition to be sent into Mexico from the United States in vio- lation of the neutrality and custom laws.
 The United States troops and al United States federal officers on the border have been given orders to make the arrest Last week officials in Juarez issued a circular stating that Madero was waiting at El Paso for chance to enter that country. This was denied by the heads of the insurrecto Junta nere.
