were appointed. one of which is to be
an executive consulting junta to re-
ceive any new proposals from the
Mexican government and the other to
direct the diplomatic or commercial
relations of the revolutionists with the

1t was no secret at the Madero

our brothers took another town, which is
also on the international line of the Unit

many victims
This brought diplomatic complications
which would be inevitable if an attack
were made on Juare2 and might bring

nation which has often given us proofs of

| to sacrifice this immense military advan-

| Juarez, which would probably result in
an international conflict.
II understand the immense sacrifice
which we make in this Our field officers,
| especially our generals, have manifested
with great insistence their desire to take
the city at hand or to sacrifice their lives
| in the attempt.
| General Orozco especially, who at the
last time when he was near to the city of
Juarez could not attack, considered that
| it was military obligation that he
| should not retire a second time without
making an assault. But, showing an ex-

sorrow he has joined me in this; but
promise you, which 1 also promised him
which is. that from now on We will make
a very active campaign, which will carry
you into many battles, where you will be
able to satisfy your legitimate desire OF
fighting for your country and your ardent
wish to cover yourselves with glory.

we arrive at the capital of the repub-
