assurances-the continuation of his in

he believes, will be guarantees sufficient
to prove the good faith of the govern
ment.
Madero admitted to-day that DIR. Gomez
Is coming here from Washington to take
part in the peace negotiations. Gomez is
the confidential agent of Modero in Wash
ington, and was candidate for vice presi-
dent on the Madero ticket at the last
election.
In accordance with the terms of the
armistice granted yesterday, insurrectos
have been taking provisions to their camp
all day. This morning before the rain
got too heavy there was much cooking
and consequently much feasting by al
most starved men. Tonight there is little
eating and 1t Is a sorry spectacle that the
men present. The rain to-day is the
heaviest that has fallen here in over a
year.
In Juarez there is no change in condi-

Fighting Continues.
In spite of the fact that an armistice
has been arranged between the insurgents
and the Mexican government, fighting
continues in several parts of Mexico.
Charles NJ. Freeman. American consul
at Durango reported to the State Depart
ment yesterday that a large devolution-

He added that no damage was done to

William Z. Alger, consul at Mazatlan,
advised the Department that the city Of
Rosario has been attacked, and that the
non-combatants had been allowed to
leave.
At San Luis Potosi, w. L. onney, the
American consul there, reported that nine
small bridges on the National Railway
line have been destroyed.
The Mexican government Is considering
the advisability of sending the gunboat
General Guerrero to Acapulco to protect
American citizens there who were recent

pealed to the State Department for pro-
lection.
DR.. Gomez, the envy of the revolu-
tidhists, left Washington last night to
meet Madero at Ell Paso for the peace
conference.
He said there were two problems to
the peace settlement: That the peoples
demands be granted. and that the settle-
ment be made without selfishness.

lice circles as the third degree"
Mr.. Gompers said that in his opinion
! the prisoner, through mental fatigue,
caused by withstanding a steady fire Of
questions for twelve hours. had finally
admitted anything his questioners asked
in order to get relief
Representative Berger, the Socialist
Congressman from Milwaukee, expressed
himself as suspicious of various circum-
ances connected with the arrest OF the
alleged dynamite outrage perpetrators in
Chicago. He said the fact that quantity
of explosives had been found in the In
dianapolis Office building occupied by the
headquarters of the ironworkers union
looked '"fishy," and that all evidence
pointed to it's being plant" He also
commented upon the circumstance of De-
tective Burns having key with which
to open the box of dynamite found in
Tiffin. and asserted that that incident
looked queer, also.
Il am member Off the typographical
union" said Mr. Berger, but that fact
would not deter me from condemning
union men If 1t had been found that they
were doing wrong. Whether the union
men had done wrong or not, the act Of
'railroading' thSp quickly to an un-
friendly and an anti-union city was un-
fair and unjust
An Infamous outrage ana a conspiracy
against organized labor was the COM
ment made by Representative Frank
Buchanan. of Illinois. formerly presi-
dent of the International Association of
TvfI
concerning the arrest of Mcnamara. Mr..
Buchanan said he knew Mcnamara well,
and considered him incapable of the

TO TESTIFY
OF DYNAMITERS' VISITS

Some of the Data He Will Present.

Toledo, Ohio, April 24.-After continued
investigations at Tifin, Ohio, and in
Toledo, of the trail of dynamite and
nitro -glycerine outrages. extending from
Los Angeles to Springfield, Mass, Pitts
burg. New York, Hoboken, Milwaukee,
Peoria, and Buffalo, William J. Burns,
head of the Burns Detective Agency, who
caused the arrest of three leaders of the
structural iron workers union, said to-
night, as he left this city for Columbus
and Indianapolis, that the case against
the two McNamaras and McNagle was
established by irrefutable evidence.
Il found in Tifin," he said, three
witnesses who will testify to visits to that
town by James B. Mcnamara and Nc
Nagle, and to the fact that they stored
the 1000 or more pounds of dynamite In
the shed there, and went there frequen-
ly to get supplies of dynamite.
Coming to Toledo I found witnesses
to prove that James w. Mcnamara and
put up at the Park Hotel
here on April II. They were seen with
four dress suit cases, three Of which
they took away with them and these
were found in the cellar Of the building
at Indianapolis, where the structural iron
workers union has its office, and where
seventy pounds of dynamite and twelve
clocks for timing the fuses were found.

Denver. Colo, April 2.-The Western
Federation of Miners. for which Harry
Orchard was chief dynamiter, stands
ready to levy an assessment of s. against
each of 5000 members as defense fund
for Secretary Mcnamara, of the Struct-
ural Iron Workers.
This statement was made by Charles
H. Meyer. president of the Western
Federation to-day. He said:
Il consider the entire affair a frame
up similar to the one l myself and my
associates experienced some years ago
in connection with the death of former
Gov. Steuneberg of Idaho.
The arrest of Mcnamara shows on its
face that it is a frameup. He was treated
exactly as We were. He was not given a
single show either by the governor of
Indiana or the court of Marion County.
I'VE will take official notice of arrests
as soon as it is necessary, and we stand
ready to levy and pay willingly an assess
ment of s. each on a membership of 80 90
