Two Men Returning From
Mexico Say no Move Will
be Made Against Chihua-
hua; May Attack Grandes.
MADERO INSISTS
DIAZ MUST QUIT


Ell Paso, Tex, April 5.-Charles
Richards and Jewell Williams, the one
q machinist in the Madero, Mexico,
shops, and the other just completing
one months service with the insur-
rectos, arrived here today with the
news that the insurrectos have no
present intention of attacking the city
OF Chihuahua.
'"rheir ambition said Williams,
who makes his home with his mother
in New York City, sis to re-capture
Casas Grandes and Hberate the pris-
oners including seventeen Americans.
taken In the recent engagement at that
place"
Coincident with this information
comes an off cial announcement that
General Rafael Egllia Lis and the
Casas Grandes garrison Of 500 federal
troops have been ordered to proceed to
Chihuahua. The addition OF these
troops, 1t is estimated, will bring the
Chihuahua garrison up to 5000 or
more men. The insurrectos realize
that with their force of not over 1,bO0
men, (and probably 1t is under that
equipped only with carbines and with
no artillery, they have no chance
against the fully equipped and numer-
:ically strong forces within the city. 1t
iis not unlikely, however, unless the
present peace plans develop into q
truce, that Madero or some other rebel
lchieftain will endeavor to intercept
Eguia Lis on the march.
With regard to the official announce
ment of this move Of the Casas'
Grandes force 1t Is considered by those
familiar with Mexican strategy that
the report may be meant merely to
mislead the enemy. In any event 1t
is practically certain that Eguia Lis
will not attempt to take his prisoners
with him.
Madero is at Ranchera Bustillos, ac-
cording to Richards and Williams
where, IL present plans do not miscar-
ry, he will soon receive his father
and brother Alfonso to discuss peace
plans. There has been no fighting
since Casas Grandes, they say.
The city Of Madero, where there are
American interests, is 100 miles or
more from Madero's camp. The In
surrectos' force there is commanded
by Giuseppe Garibaldo, an artillery
expert, who has served In Italy and
South America, and Captain Oscar G..
Creighton, an American.
There are only ten Americans now
with the rebels, eleven Of them having
been killed and seventeen taken pris-
oners at the battle of Casas Grandes.
Richards said the total dead In that
fight was ninety-one on both sides.

Jury by the assertion that he volun-

Rapi has the bearing of gentle
man, and today he was dressed In the
stylish clothes which he affects. Speak
ing in carefully modulated tone and
with precision the prisoner betrayed a
desire to emphasize his social superb
orty over the other thirty-f1ve de-
fendants. BY profession Rapi is high
class gambler and has experienced the
usual ups and downs of a follower of
chance.

and when expelled from the French
capital, he set up business in London,
subsequently returning to Italy with a
fat purse there to lose his money again.
He founded the Unione Del Mezzo-

to have contributed their fortunes in a

gambling places at Rome and Ostend.
Rapi had many bankers, politicians and
journalists among his acquaintances.
