Madero and Diaz's Envoy,
Judge Carbajal, Have a
Lively Row and the Lie Di-
rect Was Passed.
|MADERO REFUSES TO
ENTER MEXICO CITY
Insurrecto Army Rejoices
Over This Decision as They
Fear He Would Fall Vic
tim to Treachery.
(American News Service)

Juarez. Mex. May 20.-A pretty row
has developed between Provisional
President Madero and Judge Carbajal,
the federal peace envoy. and what the
next twenty-four hours will bring
forth no one con predict safely.
Though Madero on Thursday an
nounced that President Diaz through
Carbajal had invited him to Mexico
City to act as adviser to Francisco de
La Barra, when he becomes president,
the federal envoy now denies this. CIV
ing the lie direct to the insurrecto
leader
Madero's determination to stay away
from Mexico City until Diaz is actual
ly out OF Office, announced after re-
ports of plans to assassinate him had
reached here, was hailed with joy by
the soldiers today.
There has been strong undercur-
rent of feeling throughout the army
that 1t would be injudicious to say the
least, for the leader of the insurrec-
tion to leave Juarez until the man
against whose presidency the whole
movement has been aimed was out Of
office and beyond all possibility OF re
call.
General Madero called meeting OF
his cabinet today to proceed with the
work OF organizing cabinet that will
serve the provisional government at
Mexico City. The position that Gen
Bernardo Reyes will take Is causing
considerable anxiety to the insurrecto
chieftain. Madero learned this morn.
ing that Reyes had been halted at Ha.
vana on his homeward trip by an or.
der from the Mexican government
Madero refused to comment on this.

eral days. During the fghting the
rebels lost 364 men, killed and wound
ed. and the federal loss is believed to
have been exceedingly heavy. although
the government commander sent in an
official report that only 108 men had
been killed. Gen. Giegueroa began his
onward march early today from Puen
ia Ixtla and at the same time Gen. Ia
pata set out from Puebla with his
forces to join Fiegueroa for a general
attack upon Cuernavaca. The federals
who defended Cuautla have fallen bach
upon Cuernavaca to reinforce the gar
rison there.
The main attempt upon Cuernavacs
may begin before night as it is less
than twenty miles from Cuautla.

The stress of the situation could be
felt today. Little. knots of players
grouped themselves in the KmbaIl
House lobby and discussed the matter
in low tones, changing the subject
whenever any stranger approached.
Most Of the players refuse to express
any leaning one way or the other, but
some admit that this is Johnson's op-
portunity to get what he thinks he is
worth s'-
johnson had a wordy war in the lobby
of the Hotel Kimball with Manager
Jimmy McAleer, who informed him that
he would have to sign his contract call
ing for $6,5ln or quit the club.
"Then I'll quit" replied Johnson,
f>xmly.
You're unreasonable to the limit
said McAleer hotly.
Here I've labored with you, pleaded
with lou to listen to common sense, and
almost begged You TO sign the contract
offered you by President Noyes, and still
you hang out like a school boy. You
may sign now or leave at once"
I'm not going to sign for that fg-
ure," stoutly replied Johnson.

his own name was until he had con
suited the corner OF his pocket
handkerchief
In the street he met a beautiful
woman She had swollen eyes and
a good deal OF crepe. He remem-
bered who she was, and that was
proud moment for him. So he sa-
luted her. And how is your hus-
band?" he asked.
He is dead" sobbed the poor
woman
Sorry" said the old gentleman.
and went his way.
A month later he met her again.
And how is your husband" he
asked eagerly.

Amonth later he me, the woman
again, and chatted eheerfully with
her about the weather.
by the way" he added, land how
is your husband?"
He's still dead" she said.
This impressed him. The woman
became associated in his mind with
one idea A month later he ran
after her in the street to ask her
eagerly how her husband was.
Quite well. thank YOU" said the
woman beaming. We're just back
from the honeymoon"
