Another reunionist now reports herself,
one from whom we are always glad to
hear. The pictures OF the group who
gathered at Dell's are very good indeed.

graphed" in one group, but they could
scarcely be seen on postcard picture.

ROOSEVELT AT MADISON.
Endorses Forward Movement Before
Wisconsin Legislature.

Madison, Wis, April 15.-An en-
dorsement of "the forward movement"
in Wisconsin in which he mentioned
the name of United States Senator
Robert M. LaFollette, was the feature
of Col. Theodore Roosevelt's address
before the joint assembly of the Wis
consin legislature today. What has
been accomplished in Wisconsin, the
colonel said had been of such quality
as to effect a long stride forward in
politics, social and economic develop
ment as a nation.
What has been accomplished in
Wisconsin under the lead of Senator
La Toilette and under the direct in
spiration of the men whom I am now
addressing" said Mr. Roosevelt, has
been of such quality as to mark a
genuine and long stride forward in
our economic development as a ma
tion and I come here not merely to
congratulate you, but also because I
desire, insofar as possible to call the
attention of other communities, in
cluding my own, to what you have
done in the state of Wisconsin. The
progressive movement has been sane

A short address was made by Mr..
Roosevelt to a large crowd in the
gymnasium on 'progressivism' fol-
| lowing his talk at the capitol.
Luncheon at the city club, which
was attended by State and University
officials concluded the program.
Col. Roosevelt left for Chicago this
afternoon.

ever.
If both forces arrive Simultaneous
ly it is expected that one of the hot
test battles of the present revolution
will take place and that Ell Paso will
be in more danger than Douglas when
Aqua Prieta was attacked.
While the garrison at Juarez is
making preparations General Navar-
ro, the federal commander, processes

the rebels are near Juarez.
However, his men are digging
trenches and scanning the surrounding
country from house tops and other

Colonel Robagos reinforcement.
Peace Mission Abandoned.
Eagle Pass, Tex, April 15.-Owing
to Minister Limantour's inability to
control conflicting authorities, Fran
cisco Madero, ST., last night an
nounced that he had abandoned his
mission of peace. He made this
statement after having been held two
hours in his private car at c. P. Diaz
on the Mexican side, and one mem
Der of the party had been saved from
arrest only by strenuous efforts.
Senior Madero stated that he would
suggest to his men in the field that
the government appoint a commission
to treat with a similar commission to
be appointed by him. The party here
will return in all probability to San
Antonio
The peace commissioners, Francisco
Madero, ST., his son, Alfonso, and
Raphael Hernandez, arrived here from
San Antonio. They were Joined in
this city by Catarino Benavides. a
cousin of Don Francisco. T. was Ben
avides who narrowly escaped incarcer-
alton in the filthy Ciudad Porfario
Diaz Jail
The experience here was more Sc
rious repetition of the FL Paso fiasco.
The Maderos proceeded to that city a
week ago upon receipt OF telegram
from the government stating that fed
eral passports awaited them there.
They never were found \ similar tele-
gram brought the envoyS to this city
and again they could not be located.
Hernandez wired General Trev1no at
Monterey and the latter by telegraph
ordered Colonel Pena, the post com
mander at Ciudad Porfario Diaz to
issue passports. In desperation, Senor
Madero decided to take chances with
his liberty on this unsatisfactory guar
antee.
The party hardly had entered the
| car when the customs officials insisted
on searching the baggage. 1t required
much showing of kilograms to placate
| them.
The next trouble appeared in the
| form of an unkempt district Judge.
who insisted on arresting Benavides
on a warrant which he did not exhibit,
charging him with being revolu-
ZIONIST.
Benavides showed his passport in
vain and would have been taken to jail
but for the insistence of Senor Maderc
that Colonel Pena had pledged his WORD
for their safety and must at least re-
turn them to an American Jail. Gen
Trevino commanding the military zone
was appealed to at Monterey and ir
reply ordered that no member of the
party be molested. He urged that the
train be allowed to depart. At thi:
point Senor Madero threw up his hands

its orders there is no safety for us ir

Ell Paso, Tex, April 15.-Early recog-
milton as belligerents byn the United
States is the hope of Mexican insur-
recto leaders as indicated in a telegram
sent by FREDERICK Gonzales Garza, sec
retary OF the provisional government,
