NEW YORK Feb. 6-"Juarez is the ke

administration will fall. Give us Jusrez
and we shall have the country In sixty
days"
This was the way that Gustavo A. Ma
dero brother to Francisco J. Madero,
leader Of the revolutionary forces in
Mexico summed up tonight the latest ad-
vices from the front.
All the news received today" he con
tinued, both that contained in the press
dispatches and in our private advices. we
construe as highly favorable to our cause.

that the federal forces were allowed to
advance by rail on Juarez when It was in
the power OF the revolutionaries to cut
communications
Senior Madero now estimates the total
federal forces in the state Of Chihuahua

into the state and half OF them have
deserted. The federal troops are couscripts.

The engagements thus far fought have
proved that one insurrecto is worth six
federal soldiers in the field. our men are

Of them have turned thirty without ever

False News Heretofore.
TN my estimate of the present situation
It must not be forgotten that hitherto with
the Mexican Central railroad in govern
ment control and the news under rigid
censorship, it has been possible to keen
up an appearance OF tranquility in the
north for the rest of the country. But
now that the railroad is blocked the people
say that must be more than a nest OF
hornets II Juarez falls the moral effect
will be incalculable. Ninety-five per cent
of the nation secretly is disaffected now
but fear Of Diaz and his savage reprisal'
has kept them under cover Give then
the signal and the whole country will
burst into flame. There will be news to
morrow Of another state in revolt.
