The sensational rumor OF the day was
that an official high in the Diaz govern
ment yesterday offered General Orozco Of
the rebel forces $500 900 TO cause the arrest
Of MAdero. The arrest was attempted and

today was seen arm in arm in an Ei Paso
hotel with one Of the Maderoa. d.
A rebel legislature will probably bS
named in the next few days. .-.
The discord in the camp has shown one
! thing oonclusiVely. that IL that there needs

can be taken. While It Is believed that
ali OF the rebsl leaders in various parts OF
the country will cooperate with MAdero
still Il is feared that q split may come.
Madero is IN the north and many of the
other leaders have never seen him. If q
legislature can be formed which viii
represent all Of rebel Mexico a campaign
better planned can he made and all leaders
will abide by its decision. In that way all
~ the country will be represented.
