south tonight. But they may not be

generally day or so behind the fair.
Madero greeted me with much kind
ness and politeness.
Madero Is Sincere.
To see him is to believe in his sin
certify. He spoke of his certain hope
Of success, and said he would like tC
make a statement to the American PEG
pie. Said Madero:
Il cannot too much thank the Ameri-
can people for the sympathy they give
our cause. It is not strange that they
should, and they express it to me In
countless kilograms and letters. The
American people are for justice and
equal rights for all before the law, and
it is for Justice and equal rights for
all before the, Law that we have raKer
the field So the American heart
beats for US. We will win this fight
and restore justice to every man in
Mexico When peace comes. America
and Mexico will be knit in closer bonds
of friendship than ever before"
There was much bowling and hand
shaking and departed leaving Ma
dero and his Boer adviser TO return To
their war pans.
INSTRUMENTATION Friendship.
For air the Madero optimism on that
point, I cannot think there will ever
be much or deep friendship between
Americans and Mexicans The latter
distrusts the former who are wont
when among Mexicans to carry things
with rude, high hand
The American is ever ready for 8

latter is always for peace; indeed one

its angry mark on the car, but did no
further damage.
Speaking of the native antipathy OF
the Mexicans for the Americans, ii
was that which caused the abandon
nlent of the insurrecto cause by the
American legion. After the Juarez fight
was ION, the Mexicans began promptly
to cold shoulder the Americans into the
background.
The Mextcans dislike all foreigners,
Americans most Of all This general

Wherefore Villas restless six-shooter
cracked and that hero became a thing
of the past.

Mexican flag. This she did by way of
showing his contempt for Mexican
mankind. A whole regiment started
for him. He had counted on a fight,
but not with SO many and upon seeing
that wrathful thousand in motion he

The Mexicans were not, however so
blinded OF rage as not to notice that
the United States troops, toward whom
he was swimming, were covering Mr.
Dolan with their rifles The United
States soldier is celebrated for his rifle
shooting and rather than see him ex-
hibit his skill, the Mexicans refrained
from firing and allowed Mr. Dolan to
come safely to land.
Insurrectos Not Tidy.
The insurrecto camp could not be
called tidy place and resembles rath-
er a collection of gypsies than an en-
campment of soldiers. No sanitary
arrangements. no cleanliness, disorder

There were scores of women ABOUT
Amazons who follow the war They
were cooking and chatting with the
men, recognized and esteemed ele-

some hadn't enough clothes on their
backs to flag a handcar.
These same Amazons go with the
