three states all Mexico is involved in
the revolution. At the came time for
eign minister de la Barra was quoted
as being confident that peace will be
made between the Diaz government and
Madero and that afterward separate
negotiations will be carried on with
other revolutionary leaders.
Europe Stands AIoof.
One bit of information given out from
the white house showed that European
governments are apparently willing to
give Mexico an opportunity to solve her
own problem. The president told callers
that SO. far no foreign government had
suggested that the United States take
action to protect American and other
foreign property and that if this ma
ton intended to live up to the Mon
roe doctrine 1t must maintain order.
Italy is the only European nation that
has seemed concerned about the mat
ter.
Cen. Madero telegraphed the in
surrecto junta here that the insurgent
forces had gained possession of the
greater part of Juarez ana that their
losses were small. He said the immpru-
dence of federal volunteers precipited
the battle which had been raging in
Juarez yesterday.
Denies Insubordination.

in Madero's ranks at Juarez was de-
MED here last night by Mr.. vasconcel-
COS, the insurrecto representative. Re-
ports of disobeyance among the men
and lack of control on the part of Ma
dero, the insurrectos believe, originated
with agents OF the federals.
Mr.. Vasconcelcos was advised by
Gen. Madero that the assault on
Juarez had its origin in an attack upon
-
unteers The insurrectos returned the
fire and Madero, the dispatches say,
after an investigation, ordered his entire
force into action.
Stone Would Inyrse Mexico.
The danger to American lives on the
border as a result OF the revolution in
Mexico was the subject OF sharp con-
troversy in the senate yesterday. The
killing of several citizens in Ell Paso
as the result of the battle in Juarez was
the immediate provocation.
Senator Stone again urged the use
Of United States troops to protect
Americans, and, changing his attitude
towards the presidents course, charged
him with playing a bluff in sending
his army to the front. Senator Bacon,
of Georgia; senator Works, of Califor-
MIA. and others replied 10 Mr.. Stone.
Declaring that apparently this gov
the protection for the Americans in
their homes. Mr. Stone expressed ap-
prehension lest the bullets Of one day
be followed by shrapnell and canister
the next. He said he had not proposed
an invasion of Mexico with the object
of remaining there, but merely to dis
patch a force across the line sufficient
to accomplish the end il view and then
retire.
Mr. Chamberlain said that both the
president and Mr.. Stone had forgot
ten that the treaty of Guadalupe Hi
dalgo covered just such a situation as
had arisen.
Does the Guadalupe -Hidalgo treaty
provide what action shall be taken
when our citizens are murdered"
queried senator Stone.
1T certainly goes almost that far"
replied Mr.. Chamberlain. 1t was de-
cided to print the treaty in the record
instead of the reading it in the senate.
The treaty covers host of questions
including arbitration OF matters in dis
pute, the right Of each government to
fortify wherever it pleases in its own
territory, protection OF merchants of
one country residing the other.
It provides for peace, friendship,
boundary limits and settlement of
claims on account of the citizens and
rules to be observed by both re-
publics in event they war, which is
not to be expected and we hope
not
without acting the senate adjourned
until Thursday.
