Revelations of a plot to start an
other revolution in Mexico after ov-
erthrowing the leadership of Fran
cisco I. Madero, Jr., and preventing
his journey to Mexico City, created
intense excitement throughout ths
insurrecto army Monday.
The plot, which resulted Sunday 7
night in the arrest of Daniel De Vii.
liers of Mexico City, at Ell Paso, an9
w. F. Dunn, an American, at Mont
Grey, Mexico, Is said to include
among it's leaders three insurrecto
chiefs operating in the State CT Goa
hula.
A telegram from Monterey states
that Dunn, on Madero's orders, has
been placed in communicate for 72
hours. De Villiers is held in the Ell
Paso Jail on charges of conspiracy
to murder Francisco /. iMadero, Jr.'
According to Gen. Benjamin VIII
joen, the Boer veteran, who is Ma
dero's chief military adviser, the
scheme was that villjoen and Gen.
OroMo were to desert Madero, and
start new revolutionary movement,
which would be joined by certain in
surreeto leaders now in the field, to-
gether with federal general known
to be friendly to the "Cientihco"
party.
It was represented to him, Gen.
Villjoen says, that great quantities Of
arms and ammunition were stored in
the mines of Coahuila in anticipa-
ton of the new outbreak and that
success was assured, as "Madero
would never reach Mexico City,
Behind the arrest. of the two al
legged conspirat"rs is the story Of
several weeks o. conferences and the
exchange of many telegrams. Soon
after th, battle of Juarez, Gen. VIII
ioen received a telegram from Mex
loo City, saying:
THE government wants to make
proposition"
| The telegram was signed "Yilli-
.ars." Madero was informed of the
telegram and it was decided.to give
every encouragement to those be-.
hind the overtures. Vi,ljoen, accord
ingly, sent a reply stating that he,
was open to receive propositions"
This was followed by a telegram
from Villiers, instructing Villjoen'
Ito watch the rebel chief, note by
what route he comes and when he
leaves. Make friends with Orozco.
There is a fortune in sight for us. ,"
Shortly after this two men ap-
peared in Ell Paso and secretly met
. Villjoen and Orozco, who profeeseG
their willingness to enter the plot.
Villjoen declares he was to receive
$500 and Orozco like amount.
Money was given them for current
expenses, Villjoen receiving $4S0 and
Orozco $500. Dunn, who was one OF
the pair, Villjoen asserts, translated
to them cipher message which read:
Last message at hand. Rose4s
: working fast for change Of federal
city. Do not worry about financial
end of which will take care. Would
advise direct action Diaz at early
time. Be very careful. Continue
; advising and act as you think best.
Mexico City man says agent Figueroa
brothers coming you from south.
(Sis.) "Adolfo.'
The message, 1t was explained,
came from the agent Of the conspira-
CIV at Mexico City. The reference to
, Diaz was not explained by Gen. VIII
joen.

. with Villjoen and Orozco, Dunn
