OBREGON BANISHEO
Rumors of Bride offered Orozco
to Turn Him from Madero.

Juarez. May 14-Notifcation from Pro
visional President MadeTO to-day to Senior
Esquival Obregon that his presence in this
CITY no longer was desired by the revolu-
tionists IS the elimination of what is be-
lieved 10 have been a general plot to in
fuence the military chiefs OF Madero 10
desert his standard.
General Pascual Orozco was asked con-
corning the efforts which Obregon is al
legged to have made TO turn him from Cen
eral Madero. and the rumOr that bride
had been offered was mentioned To him. In
reply. he declared that no fixed price had
been offered. hut II had been discreetly in
dicated 10 him that he never would lack
for money.
The upshot Of the affair is that Obregon
has been banished from insurgent territory
and General Orozco once more IS in the
good graces of his commander in chief He
had a long and cordial talk to-day with
General Madero He expressed to Madero
his loyalty and rendered his regrets for
yesterdays incident, in which Madero was
temporarily arrested.
Provisional President Madero to-day de-
clared that he has the utmost confidence in
General Orozco. and spent some time with
him going over military plans. AS an evil
dence Of Madero's confidence in the support
Of his men, he has dismissed his body
guard, and now walks with Mrs. Madero
alone about the streets.
Senior Obregon emphatically denied any
connection with the alleged affair He
had been one of the go-betweens in the
peace negotiations hitherto and was men
toned in the credentials sent Judge Car
ba1al. the federal envoy. by Minister
Limant lur as having disinterestedly Of
fered his services with Senor Branif. in
the cause OF peace He was a candidate for
President of Mexico in the last election on
the ant-re-electionist ticket against
Madero. but the supporters Of that party
since then have largely merged with the
Maderistas.
