De viIleTs, TransVaaI General,

Charged by his old friend and Boer

with conspiring with an American
named W. f. Dunn against the life of
General Madero, Dan de Villers Of the
Transvaal is under arrest in Ell Paso.
Dunn is under arrest at Monterey,
General Viljoen says that the men
tried to induce him and General Pas
cual Orozco TO desert General Madero,
stir up a revolt among the revolution
airy troops at Juarez and start new
revolution. He says a large sum OF
money was promised to him by the
men for information as to the time of
departure of General Madero for the
City of Mexico and his route.
This alleged plot is laid to the Glen
tificos, who have left nothing undone
to block the Establishment of peace
and the success of the De la Barra
administration. Baked in their plans
to foist a reactionary governor on the
states of Chihuahua, Coahuila and So
nora, they planned to take the life Of
General Madero, using, it is alleged,
Dunn and De Villers as their agents.
1t is declared that De Villers first
broached the plot to General Viljoen
ten days ago. In response to two tel
egrams De Villers and Dunn came
here last Tuesday and made, it is al
legged, a fiat offer of $4,000 to General
Yiljoen and $4,000 to General Orozco
If they would stir up trouble against
General Madero among the troops in
Juarez. The two rebel leaders pre-
tended to fall in with the scheme and
then let General Madero know about
1t. General Madero told them to go
ahead and enmesh the plotters enough
to procure their arrest.
