Las Vegas, April 3.--"Two or three
Las Vegas persons are undoubtedly
implicated and others believed to have
been connected are likely in the south
ern part OF the county," said II. r.
Rogers, father of little Waldo Rogers,
the child who was kidnapped" last
week and restored to his parents when
q ransom of $4,000 drawn from local
banks was paid. Mr., Rogers, greatly
deprecates the circulation of so many
varying stories about the affair and
says that they have handicapped the
officers" in their work. The secret
service men are busy on their clues
and that is about all the information
feel at liberty to give out" said Mr..
Rogers, Some of these stories |
think were started by persons we sus-
pect of the kidnapping"
They are being shadowed, but fur
ther than this statement we don't feel
that it would be wise to give out any
thing else"
With nearly week gone by, no ar
rests made, the town full of officers,
mounted police, deputy sheriffs, rail-
road secret service operatives, private
detectives and special officers, the
public is beginning TO form the con-
viction that the suspects under sur
veillance" are about ithe shrewdest.

FL Paso, Tex, April Son the
surface peace did not appear to make
much progress today between the in
surrectos and the Mexican federals,
but developments came to light that
promise much in the next few days.
II is known tha, Francisco |. Madero
has not been h sard from regarding
the proposals of the Mexican gov
ernment. and until he is heard from
negotiations are impossible. Al efforts
are now being bent towards arrang-
ing for a meeting in the city Of san
Francisco of Madero and his father,
brother and others, including repre-
sentatives OF the Mexican govern
ment. To do this permission of the
United states will first have to be Sc
cured for Madero to come here with
out being arrested as a warrant is
out for his arrest on the charge of
fomenting q rebellion in the United
States against friendly nation. The
next step will be to secure safe trans
port for Madero to FL Paso from
the Mexican federal government, and
1t Is known that such proposition
has been made. The father and bro
ther of the insurrecto chieftain made
no announcement today declaring
that they had nothing as yet to add
to what they had already said. Al
onzo Madero declined positively to
answer the question; -. a..
"Will the retirement OF President
Diaz be insisted upon2"
The senior Madero, father of the
insurrecto chief, was in conference
today with a number OF El Pasoans
who have business and social con-
nections In Mexico, but none of the
conferences appeared to be very pri-
private, as most of them were held
in the corridors of their hotel, where
the senior Madero smoked man cigar
cites and appeared to be in nowise
concerned or worried The young
Madero was in his room a good deal
of the day, said to be writing letters.
Gonzales Cara. secretarygeneral of
the insurrecto party, called several
times during the day on the Maderos
and their relations appeared perfect
ly cordial, although CARA declared
some days ago that these men have
no right to speak for the insurrecto
party referring to the father and
brother of the insurrecto leader
Today he said.
II am agreeably surprised, because
I had only hoped to have the pleas
ure of visit from Mr. Alfonso Ma
dero, and his father also comes"
1t will probably be arranged during
tomorrow with United States author
tiles to suspend temporarily the exe-
cution of the warrant against Ma
dero in case he comes to El Paso
for Q conference. Then it Is believed
that arrangements will be made very
soon with Mexican officials to per-
nit him to make an unmolested
journey to Ell Paso and return to
his troops

After the rebels escaped from the
trap laid by Colonel Ogeda and Luis
Medina Barron, chief rurales, they
continued in the direction of Ures.
A short time later the insurrectos re-
ceived reinforcements numbering
800, nearly all mounted. With this
augmented force they attempted to
turn the right flank of the federal
forces, where was stationed Chief
Barron and his rurales. With Bar
ron also were detachments from the
Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Twenty
eighth battalions Of infantry.
Tho fighting which ensued was Sc
we're, with heavy losses on both sides.
The official report gives the rebel
dead at this point at seventy and the
federal killed at sixteen with twenty
wounded These are the figures sup
piled by Colonel Ogeda.
On the night of March 80 the bat
tie was renewed, Colonel Ogeda as
suming the offensive and dislodged
the rebel forces from their position.
The fedcrals came across many dead
insurrectos and small bands fleeing
in the direction of Ures. A long,
running fight followed. During this
fighting four federals We're reported
killed, eight from the command of
Barron and six from that of Ogeda.
At Ures the rebels made stand.
fortfying themselves strongly in
several houses at the entrance to the
city on the road to Buena Vista.
They occupied the house of correction
where they took advantage of the
port holes above and below. They
also made a stand in the plaza, but in
the fighting which followed they
were scattered into email groups.
The federal commanders believe that
the rebel bands under Juan Cabrales
Antonio Garcia have joined and gone
in the direction of Arizepe. A fed
eral force was put in the field at once
to follow them up,
A report reached Aqua Prieta to-
day that Barron was among those
killed at Ures, but it has not been
confirmed This news came from
Montezuma, there was no mention of
officers names in the official tele-
gram.
The rebels burned a bridge today
at Kilometer .46. on the Nacozari
railroad, running south from Douglas
to Nacozari
Only one troop of government sol
diers 'remain in Aqua Prieta, all 9th
ers having gone to Ures. The local
garrison was busy today erecting adj

pecting an attack. Adobe breast
works in the form of triangle were
erected In the streets outside OF the
barracks and more sand bags were
piled on the roofs of the houses.

FORNOFF, FULL or MYSTERY
HIKES HuRRIEDLY NORTH
WITH A VERY SMALL GRIP


Las Vegas, April 3,-This afternoon
Captain of the Mounted Police Fred
Fornoff, hurriedly packing small
grip about seven inches long and four
inches high, with an air of profound
mystery, walked to the station and in
mysterious manner boarded the att
ernon train for the north. Specula-
tion became Immediately rife as To
what Fornoff had in the grip and
wild stories were in circulation all the
rest of the afternoon. In reply to all
queries, Mr. Fornoff maintained a sill
ence that you could hear for two city
blocks, and which entirely drowned
out the silence observed by the over
Sc detectives now shadowing clues.
Immediately after his departure the
sensational announcement was made
that another new clue had been dis
covered, but had been lost and would
be advertised for In the daily papers
while 1t was also learned several sus-
poets were still under close obserya-
tion. One man, it is said was Sec
reilly followed by fifteen detectives
from the station to the Las Vegas Hot

of the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, for possession of whose SS.-
100000 estate two sons are contesting.
The witness married General Ecker.

General Ecker, she lunched with
him. He told her that they were
prosecuting him and threatening TO
