 Foreign Interests Safe
 The insurrectos will do no injury to foreign interests in Mexico. We believe that they will be far better off under a free government, such as We are fighting for, than under a ] one-man' government" Senor Ma | dero wished to dispel the idea that the insurrectos would confiscate any property. The large estates accum- hlated by Diaz's followers would be bought by the new government and sold to the poor people in ine lu , staiment plan, for one of the req sons for the general discomfort is that the greater part of the Mexican people own no land and have no opportunity to buy any.
 [ When Gustavo gave the list of his brothers names he was very parlic- | ular that no mistake be made. A : declaring some brother a revolution ist. would mean some brothers deatl | in Mexico. The nine sons of Senor i Francisco Madero, Sr.,-emphaticaliy not a revoltionist-are Francisco l., ! 3S years old; Gustayo A., 36 years old; Alfonso. g years old; Emilio, 3l years old; Gabriel, 26 years old Julio. 24 years old; Raul. 23 years |, old; Evaristc. 2l years oid, an, Carlos, Is years old. N. B.-Speciaf notice to the Diaz officials who read this: Emilio Gabriel, Julio, Evaristo and Carlos are not insurrectos, but Francisco, Jr.. Gustavo, Alfonso and Raul are. and, what is more they are proud of it.
 Then there are four sisters: Mag dalena and Rafaela, who are married, and Mercedes and Angela. Senor Gustavo did not furnish their ages, remarking: You know the ladies and how they think about ages. Neither would he say if they were insurrectoritas.
 Family Prominent.
 The Madero family is prominent because of it's high standing ana wealth, owning enormous tracts ot land. Eyaristo, the grandfather, has large family, and all hIs sons re ceiyed a college education in the United States and Europe, just as have those Of Francisco, ST.
 The interests of the Ssaderos are principally agricultural, but they l are also heavy owners of lead and [ silver mining properties. In the smelting industry they control the large Torreon smeiters. They are also engaged in banking, Ernesto Madero, an uncle of the insurrection- , ist leaders, being the president of the Banco de Nuevo Leon in Monterrey. For some years past the family has taken a prominent part in the deyel- , opment of Mexican rubber from the , the guayule plant. The Madero ha- ) cienda-a large property embracing } a number of ranchos-in the north | ern part of the state of Coahuila. constitutes in many respects a re markable institution. It embraces an area about fifty miles wide and . 200 miles long. This property is de voted largely to grazing. and on it vast herds of cattle are raised. The stock consists chiefly of horned ' cattle and sheep.
 Large Farmers.
 , Contain members of the family aIe large wheat growers. The Maderos have extensive vineyaros, in fact . the largest in Mexico. They have in the town of Parras, not far from the line of the Mexican International Railway. which is now a part of the National Railways system of Mexico. , four, wine and cotton factories. A . highly modernized flour mill con , yerts the wheat they raise into flour for export and domestic purposes. For making wine and liquors of their grapes they have an enormous estab. Hshment. Their cotton plantation is also a modern affair where prints are made on a large scale. as well as the raw cotton being prepared, spun and woven. The power for these three manufacturing establish ments was obtained by driving a number Of tunnels under the mount aims near Parras. This water power system is a costly work showing great engineering skill.
 Far from being the traditional rag tag revolutionists, the Madero family D is thus seen to be large and wealthy. For all that they have no voice in the government of Mexico, they say.
