Thursday by high official of the De-

dapp, representative of the Mexican
revolution in Washington.
The name of the official is withheld,
but full credence is given the state
ment here, in view of recent events in
the Mexican situation.

urgent.
Developments this week showing
the strong exertions of the Madero
administration to get troops to North
