MADERo WINS VICTORY.
Big Federal Force Routed and Large
Number Killed.

Preside, Tex. According to mes
senger who reported to General Jose
de la Cruz Sanchez, in command of the
insurgents besieging the town of Oil
naga, insurrectos under the direct
command of Francisco l. Madero have
won an important victory in the vicin-
ity of the city of chihuahua, rout-
ing the Federal troops after 100 had
been killed and 40 taken prisoners.
Chihuahua city has been surrounded
by rebels for some weeks and all
means of communication have been
cut. Provisions are growing scarce
and many Americans are shut in there.
Madero's aim has been to capture
Chihuahua in order that Ehe might be
able to point to the fact that Ahe con-
trolled the state of Chihuahua as
ground for claiming belligerent rights
from other nations. He also desired
to secure such a center of government
that he might be in a position to ne
gotiate with Diaz to advantage. Ma
dero's victory probably will enable
him to force his way to Chihuahua and
do battle with the garrison, reported
to be about 200 strong.

AMERICAN SOIL VIOLATED.
Many Witnesses Swear Batt and
Converse Arrested in Texas.

Ell Paso, Tex.-C. H. Converse, of
Glendora, CAL, has filed additional
evidence that his son Lawrence, and
Edwin Blatt, of Pittsburg, now in Jail
at Juarez, were captured on American
soil.
He has forwarded to the State de-
partment statements of county Off
cials, Federal officials, line riders and
customs guards that what is called
Ancon de Guadeloupe, where Converse
and Blatt are said to have been cap
tured, is in the United States, and
that the Federal government has exer-
cised de facto jurisdiction over the
territory for two years.
These statements were filed with
the State department to controvert
the statement of the Mexican jefe at
Guadaloupe that he considered Ancon
de Guadaloupe Mexican territory.

CABINET RESIGNS
All Mexican Ministers Except Limar :
tour Will Be Replaced.

Mexico City, Mex, March 25. Fol-
lowing a meeting of the cabinet today
every member of that body rendered
his resignation to President Diaz.
AS yet none of the designations has
been accepted, but on excellent au-
thority it is said that but two of them
possibly not more than one-will be
asked to remain in the portfolio. In
diplomatic circles it is assumed that
Diaz will insist upon Jose Yves Lii
mantour remaining in charge of the
department of finance. Members of
the cabinet refuse to comment upon
their action, but it is said that the
united stand was taken not by them,
but by the president, who, it is be-
lieved, proposes to surround himself
with younger men, in the hope that
such action will serve to unite all ele-
ments of the nation.
1t is probable that the acceptance of
the designations will be coincident
with the announcement of the names
of the new ministers. Who will COM
pose the new cabinet is not known,
but it may be said they will be men
who have not taken a leading part in
the government affairs. Neither will
it include any who have been identified
with the revolutionary movement in
stituted by Madero.

EIGHTEEN LIVE ON SI75 MONTH
Chicago Parents of Is Children Say
All Mouths Are Well Fed.


Chicago Should the sovereign state
of Illinois decide to pay bounty for
large families and call the roll of its
citizens, Michael Fox, 1910 Vancey
avenue, will be able to answer "pres-
ent."
Mr.. Fox, who is a switchman on the
Illinois Central railroad, never has re-
ceived any congratulations from Thee
core Roosevelt, although deserving of
them. Of the 814, lis children in
Chicago Mr.. Fox has 16 and they are
all strong and vigorous.
There was a sort of reunion of the
Fox family Sunday, Tut Mr.. Fox was
not present. He was out in the
switchyards at work, for it takes all
he can earn seven days week to fill
the stomachs and cover the feet of the
young Foxes.
"How do we manage to feed and
clothe so many?" repeated Mrs. Fox
in answer to question today "Well
they don't look as if they didn't get
enough to eat, do they?" she asked as
she looked admiringly at her large
family.
mike makes about $50 a month, "
said Mrs. Fox, land our grocery bill
runs between 500 and 800 a month,
but we get along all right. Two of
the boys are working for the Illinois
Central and two girls work in the tack
factory, so the family income is about
SITS a month. They all get enough
to eat and all are strong. and healthy. "

Los Angeles-A huge red touring
car was sizzling through space on
Spring street Tuesday at rate that
looked bad for speed limit, when one
of the front tires burst with a crack
like a cannon. The force of the ex-
plosion was sufficient to tear big
piece off the steel rim and hurl it 100
feet through the air and through the
show window of the Bradley-Wise
Paint company, 853 South Spring
street, and do damage inside to the
extent of about 800. The name of
the cannoneer was not ascertained.
