 us Juarez and we shall have the coun- 1 try in sixty days"
 This is the way that Gustavo. A.
 Madero, brother of Francisco l. Madero, | leader of the revolutionary forces in Mexico, summed up tonight the latest
 advices from the front. All the news received today he continued. both that contained in the press despatches and in our private advices, we construs as highly favorable to our cause, but it ] seems to us an error in strategy that the federal forces were allowed to ad- ! vance by rail on Juarez when it was
 in the power of the revolutionaries to cut communications"
 Madero estimates the total federal
 force in the state of Chihuahua at
 4,000 and the rebel forces at $500. The government" he said, "haS sent 5000 men into the state, and half of these have deserted. The federal troops are conscripts, many of them convicts. fighting against their own hearts. ana
 when they encounter opposition their | withdrawal does not constitute a re treat. it becomes dispersal Our men
 are young men, lighting for their ideals Some of them have turned SC
 without ever casting 8 vote.
