San Antonio, Texas-Orders have
teen received here from Washington
that General Carriers maneuver dlyis
ion shall hold itself in readiness to
break camp and take the field as il
for actual warfare within two hours
The order, when promulgated to the

particular reason that it did not come

Ell Paso, Texas.-That Francisco
Madero, leader of the Mexican insur.
rectos, and their so-called president,
is concentrating his forces 100 miles
south of Ell Paso, with view Of
storming and taking town and es-
tablishing IN it a capital, from which
to carry on his operations throughout
the states of Sonora and Chihuahua
was given out by the Revolutionary
junta.
Asked If Madero would be willing
to make any concessions in the de
mands Of the, insurrectos that Presi
dent Bias declare null his election as
first consideration for peace, Senior
Gonzales Cara, the insurrecto secre
tary Of state, replied:
Absolutely none. 1t is folly fol
Diaz to talk about peace and at the
same time say he intends to remain
in power.''
Mexico City.-If Minister of FL
nance Limantour is coming to the
capital with the intention of inducing
General Diaz to listen to terms pro-
posed by the insurrectos for cessation
of hostilities, it is probable That his
efforts will prove fruitless. The
known character of General Diaz is
not such as would permit him to lis
ten to terms from Reyolutionists.

milk famine in the community. Bust
ness is practically suspended in Chi

straits. Great fears are entertained
