did patriotism In the interest Of the ma
ton. He declared he regretted that Judge
Carbajal did not have the authority TO
sign the armistict and expressed himself
strongly in favor OF peace.
He said ne sincerely hoped that Judge
Carbajal would soon be given the au-
thority to sign the armlstice, as he be-
lieved It would result for the best inter-
ests OF the nation.

that any one has ever gone over the head
Of duly authorized envoy Of peace.

Boer leader, who as military adviser TO
Francisco Madero planned the successful
attack upon Ciudad JuareE, today received
by telegram advances from the federal
government OF Mexico City for his serv-
ices. The. wire follows

Madero Makes Mistake. !S
! While some are pointing to Madero's
countermanded orders today and his pos
Tive assertion, followed a few moments
later by a negative assertion, that there
is no armistice as another example of his
vaccilation, his friends say he was simply
mistaken. ..--+--
Shortly before 9 O'Clock Madero an.
nounced to correspondents that an armIs-
tice of five days had been declared Ten
minutes later he asserted that there was
no armistice, despite the fact that he had
| given specific orders to his army. II now
develops that It was a mistake on the
part Of the provisional president. He be-
lieved that Judge CarbaJal had the au-
thority to sign the armistice, whereas 1t
can be signed only by President Diaz. 1t
is tacitly agreed that there is an arinistice
in effect. but it will not really, become
operative until some time tomorrow. It Is
not questioned but that DiaE will aigh it.

Police Thwart villa.
The FL Paso police learned during the
day. that Villa, heavily armed, with three
men was on his way 10 kill Garibaldi.
Word was communicated 10 secret service
men and army officers. So there was a
reception for villa when he came troopinE

time, unaware Of the tense situation.
Garibaldi stood with his back to the
scowling colonel, his face ashen. He knew
not when a bullet would come crashing
into his body.
Mayor C. K. Kelly drew villa to one
side. He was taken into another room.
He quietly submitted to being disarmed.
Then he was placed in a hack and sent
back to Mexico. The leniency Of the city
