MADERO CANNOT BE
 lENIENT IS BELIEF
Can Agree to No Amistice- Re5els Held Off Agua
 Prieta Attacks
tDoughs International.l


 There Is a lelief among the insnr- rectos in Douglas that it viii 5e i'm possible for Madero to consent to any kind of an arniistice and tha. effort in that direction win fail
 An active insurrecto synpatnize- m Douglas, who has been prominent Tn the local junta here stated this morning to the International that Re did not believe that t would be possible to arrange any kind of an armistice. CT terms of peace which did not include. the resignation of the presidency and the immediate elec- uon of his successor at an honestly conducted election. Continuing tAis man raid
 Any stop in the fight now would be to the great disadvantage Of tho Insurrecto army. The insurrectos are without money or supplies and If an armistiee should be doc,arel they would be compelled to disband and return 10 their homes to look for subsistence. They are all volun- teers and receive no pay for their service
 During any arE..st.ce the Mexican government would be unable to strengthen it's position, gather ad- dtdons to their forces at the points now threatened. and if final peace agreement was not reached as a re- suit of the arnistiee then Madero would have to practically start b!s revolution over again. so it will be seen that such a plan would be sui eidal on his part
 ~Niadero has plainly stated the terms to the government of Mexico upon which he will stop the inaur- rection. and enc of these terms is that President Diaz must step down rom the presidential char of Mex leo. I do not expect that peace n Mexico will be restored until these terms have been agreed to.
 Held of Attacks
 We could have taken Aqua Prieta at any time we desired on Monday, said Major Barron Tuesday after noon. We had only to assault the town to take it. But had we male the final attack at any time. during the day Douglas would have been swept by our fire and there would inevitably have been many accidents on the A-aerican side of the line. To avoid this We waited until night when the Americans would be in their homes before making final as- sault on tue bull ring. It is unfortl- nate that bullets fell in Douglas, but We took every precaution we could.
 When the first skirmish came in ;he early morning the fire of the machine guns was ordered stopped for they appeared to be sweeping a part of Douglas. During the day our ire vas held as much as possible. The attack on the bull ring that took it came late at night That vas the best that we could do
 The strategscal position was the draw running toward the line and almost paraIlelling town and trenches. All day long we kept cropping our force in there under order to hold their fire. It was from there the final dash was made
 We tried to prevent injury to Americans or their property.
 An occasion when Americans would have suffered had federals| rred at @ deserting soldier was seen Tuesday afternoon near the GUS tom house. The soldier was seen to suddenly break for the line. lie ran right toward a crowd of Ameri- cans on this side. Had his com panions fired at him they would nave had to shoot right into the Americans They made no move tr ssoot and the man was made a pris oner by United States soldiers and $ detained.
