I'll Paso, Tex, April 26.-I visited the
camp OF Francisco /. Madero for the
second time yesterday. DR.. Frederick
A. Cook had delivered a lecture in El
Paso the night before and the insur-
rectors hoped he would pay them a
visit. Garibaldi declared IL Cook ever
started north again that he was going
with him. Garibaldi is not quick to talk
about himself, but off to one side he
admitted that this was his fourth cam
paign. He was through the English
Boer war, the Turkey-Graco war,
through the trouble in Venezuela n
now mixed IN the Mexican embroyiio. l
guessed his age as SO. His face was
covered with several days beard, but
he coyly admitted only so years.
Raoul Madero told me he was one
of a family of 10. He said he graduated
from the Michigan College es Mines a.
Houghton. Mich on the fifth OF last
November. He has never been in the
Missouri rive states, but said his
brother Evaristo attended the agricul-
tural school at Ames, Ia.
A. few days before when I saw the
Jagged soldiers of the rebellion filling

myself / would have to be pretty thirsty
% drink 1t. But as the day progressed
{ grew thirstier and thirstier. It came
noon, n Francisco insisted that /
AXE a sandwich. We all sat on the
rocks, m%unching q goth century sand
Slch, even to the pickle. and Rauol
Madero asked me to come down n
lavej a drink. / could almost hea a
hunk of ice humping around in the
a~c +a,, AL tInN, On AZ fhA rnnlttxv ne
var.
Raoul toe tho lid from a box and
dipped a lineup into a c~hocolate-col-
1red fluid, which l knew to be river
water. With true Spanish ~politeness
ae offered me the cup. For about two
| minutes we Gastoned about. / all the
ime trying 60 frame a plausible III
Why my thirst had left me and ! had
o take the CUP. j shut my eyes and

[ was filled to the brim. / knew this
water had TO be carried laboriously q
ong distance from the river and I
.ould not empty half OF the liquid on
he ground. Finally I handed the empty
:up back to the chivalrous rebel, VOW
ng / would never be trapped again.
Cook Heads for the Lines.
In the afternoon / returned to FL
Paso and was introduced to DR.. Cook
1T a local hotel. / told him Of the de-
sire of the insurrectos. and he asked
ne to guide him through the lines. He
said he could still hit the trail.
We started ont and the heat OF the
yemi-tropicai sun must have eontTdstrd
strangely with DIR. Cooks memories OF
days on the Arctic foes. AT length, af-
ter q weary marcn, we arrived about 8
p'clock in the evening at the camp,
and found that pickets had been put
out, keeping every one back from the
camp. / got a note through to Ma
dero, and he gave permission for us
to enter.
At this time Mrs. Francisco Made-o
a with her husband, having arrived
during the afternoon. | introduced DR..
Cook to both OF them and then began
q very unique congratulation contest.
Both men seemed concerned only on
telling the other OF the others great
ness.
L Introduce d.. Cook as the man
who discovered the north pole. OF
course | might have qualified 1t by
saying the man who says he discovered
IL. but that would rave been cruel, and
anyway / found Frederick A. too good
a fellow to trifle with. His shoulders
are pretty broad, too.
Proud to Meet Each Other.
Mr.. Madero said he was proud to
know a mar who had given so much
to the scientific world by his discover
ies and DIR. Cook came right back by
saying he was honored to meet a man
who was the George washington OF q
cause as Just as was our own reyolu-
ton.
Both of them came tn bal several
times after that, but / think that the
polite Spaniard-Mexican made the best
score. Several In the crowd recognized
DIR. Cook. and they began yelling
viva Cook while the camera fiends
got busy from every side.
AS we hit the grit back to the Unit
cd States DIR. Cook said that whether
right or wrong men who would live as
the insurrectos were living deserved to
win. He said he knew so little about
the rebellion that he could not speak
of IL with any show of authority, but
that he believed from what he mad
heard thai conditions In Mexico were
among the adobe houses on the states
side. DIR. Cook walked about the mis-
erable novels. looking into the homes
and tweaking chubDy-cheeked children
with kindly regard.
Earlier In the day Mrs. Ernest
dughes. a sister OF the late Captain
rrelgltton's ~haucee, visited the camp
fnd was showed a great deal OF defer
snce by all of the rebel leaders. She
gas given Captain Creighton's revolver
! md sword. and was told exactly where
le was buried in an unmarked grave
| N front OF h depot at Bauche, near
where he fell.
