 executive responsible thereto, for dealing with purely Irish affairs, while maintain ing the supremacy of the British parlia- ment unimpaired.
 John Redmond, on behalf of the nation alsts. welcomed the premier's declaration and added that he honestly believed that home rule as defined by Mr. Asquith would be the final settlement of this question, and so far as they could the nationalists pledged their countrymen to that effect.
 MT. Redmond denied that he was a sep ara tist The nationalists, he said, had accepted imperial supremacy and invited the house of commons to make 1t effec- tive. He hoped the reign of the present King would be made glorious by the open ing by the sovereign in person0of a par | liarnent of the friendly and reconciled Irish nation
 Winston Spencer Churchill the home secretary. said that if they could recon cile the Irish and English people and rally the Irish nation around the mon- archy it would gain an advantage equal | to many divisions of the fleet and army. Moreover he added, there would be not one of the self-governing colonies whose | relations with the mother country would not be rendered more intimate and more l cordial.
 l Wukkuan O'Brien did not doubt that home rule ultimately would come. He doubted the possibility of carrying the measure in the present parliament. how | ever, but promised the premier the hearty cc- operation of his party.

REBEL CHIEF H|DON
 AMERICAN GROUND Brother Acknowledges Ma
 derO Hid in Ell PasO VIEW IS OPTIMISTIC
Does Not Care How Many Men Fed erals Coop Up in Juarez-Al- leges Secret Execu-
 tions

New York, February 15.-The reappear- aHce of Francisco l. Madero. provisional insurrecto president of Mexico today in the little border town of Guadeloupe brought an acknowledgement here tonight from his brother, Gustavo A. Madero. that the rebel chief has been hiding in American territory.
 My brother has been part of the time in Fl Paso," said Gustavo Madero. q cannot at this time account for his move ments," he continued, but 1t is true that he is now at Guadelcupe and his appear ance there Is a sign that he feels the situation Is shaping itself to his desires. A board of strategy has been formed and lie will share in its deliberations, although It Is not yet planned that he should take the field in person. We do not know his abilities as a military leader; he does not know them himself
 "Orozco has not been superseded, but he will now act in closer cooperation with other insurrecto generals under a centralized supervision. We do not feel that the failure to storm Juarez is a set back. It would have been desirable to take Juarez if 1t was possible, but the present position of the federal forces has It's advantages.
 ''Rabago and Navarro advanced to the relief of Juarez from Casas Grandes and Guerrero, both important strategic points, which they had to abandon without a battle. Chihuahua is now garrisoned by only 750 federal troops, and between Juarez and Chihuahua the country is in our possession.
 What do we care how many men the government coops up in Juarez? They do us no harm there and what we want is t. spread the revolution. The more the country is left open 10 us the quicker progress we shall make. When we solidify our forces 1t will be an easy mat ter to starve Juarez off. It is cut off from the south already"
 Gustavo Madero maze the unqualified statement tonight that many federal of fcers suspected of sympathy with the in surrectos have been executed secretly at Mexico City, but that so strict has been the censorship no word limiting either a dsloyalty in the army or at discipline by the government has been permitted to leak out from the capital.
 Senor Madero left here for Washington tonight. The time is not yet ripe, he believes, for the insurrectos to demand recognition as belligerents, but he inti- mated that in case Juarez should fall, such demand would be made, and upon the United States first of all. The revo- lutionists have agents in Washington, but no recognized representative
