THE ELDER MADERO
 GIVES UP MISSION
Baked Again at the Gate of Mex
 ico.

Cuidad P Diaz. via Eagle Pass, April 14.-After being held here in his pri- vate car two hours and one member of the party saved from arrest only bv strenuous efforts. Francisco Ma dero ST. announced ths abandonment of his peace commission. owing to the inability of Minister Limantour to control the conflicting authorities.
 Senor Madero stated that he would suggest to his son in the field that the government appoint a commis- sion to treat with commission to be appointed by him. His experience here is a serious repetition of the fiasco at Fl Paso to which city the Maderos proceeded a week az" upon receipt of a telegram from the gov ernment stating that federal pass ports awaited them there. The pa pers were never found there.
 A similar telegram brought the en- voys to this city and again passports could not be located Hernandez wired General Trevino at Monterey and the latter by telegraph ordered Colonel Pena. post commander at Ciudad Porfirio Diaz to issue pass ports In desperation Senor Madero decided to take chances with his lib erty on this guarantee. The party had hardly entered the car when the customs officials insisted on search ing their baggage. It required much showing of telegramS to placatc them. The next trouble appeared in the form of an unkempt district judge. who in sisted upon arresting Cabuna Bena videz a cousin of Madero. on war rant which he did not exhibit, charg- ing him with being a revolutionist. Benavide would have been taken to iaill but for the insistence of Senor Madero that Colonel Pena had pledged his word for their safety and he must at least return them to an American jail General Trevino. commanding the military zone was appealed to at Monterey and in reply ordered that no member of the party be molested. At this point Senor Madero threw up his hands and his mission at the same time.
 If the government cant enforce its orders there is no safety for us in Mexico" said he -I shall not try again"

DETAILS WANTED
Mexico City Has Heard Rumors of
 Agua Prieta Affair

Mexico City. April l4-Reports to the foreign office of the battle of Agua Prieta. sent by the Mexican con- sul in Douglas, are so unsatisfactory and brief that Minister de Ia Barra has instructed him to amplify them He also instructed the consul in Naco to go to Douglas and assist the con sular representative there in his in- vestigation.
 The accounts of the battle received by the war department contained lit tie more than the information that the town had been attacked by SUI perior number of rebels and that the federals after making all the resis- tance possible had surrendered.
 No representation has yet been made by the state department in Washing ton to the foreign office concerning the fighting across the international boundary and the resultant loss of life but it is likely that the Mexican government will lodge a protest re garding the part played in battle by Captain Gaujot who crossed the bor- der, thus technically invading Mexico. It is of interest here chiefly in view of international complications which may grow out Of il.
 Military men regard the taking of Agua Prieta as a rebel mistake. To hold the town. they say, it will be necessary for Red" Lopez to receive the support of the major portion of Madero's army and it is not believed that he will get it. Already fed eral force is approaching Agua Prieta.
 Tn other circles it is believed here that the taking of Agua Prieta will have the effect of stimulating the en- ergies of rebels and gain for Madero hundreds and perhops thousands of recruits. even should he be forced (" abandon the place
 Minister de Ia Barra today stated that the controversy between the Uni ted States and Mexico over the Blatt- Converse incident is in fair way to be amicably adjusted. Today he sent to the United States ambassador for transmission to the American state department a note concerning the case.

 The federals are fortIfying Juarez and General Navarro commanding the northern Chihuahua military division stated tonight that he had reports that insurrec.os were seen within twelve miles of the town. An imme- diate attack however is not expected probably because of the reported pres ence Of Francisco I. Madero at Bus tillOs, west of Chihuahua, where he is said to have received the peace commissioners yesterday. Then, too. the senior Madero is now enroute to Chihuahua for a conference with his son.
 A letter from an American with the insurrectO forces says the federal command marching from Casas Grandes to Chihuahua with rebel pris- Oners, will be attacked before the in surrectos begin the advance on Jua- Rabago with several hundred federal troops should reach Juarez.

The arrival of these two mounted columns riding at top speed across the plains raising great clouds of dust, taken together with the firing of shots by a detachment of rebel scouts which had gone out to meet them, led to the belief that the expected attack by federas was about to occur Both Agua Prieta and Douglas were thrown into a fever of excitement. In Agua Prieta the rebels made ready to re- sist an attack(. and in Douglas the citizens sought places Of safety.
