Tucson, Ariz., Sept 2S.-Ten rebea
we're captured at Robles ranch &c
miles south Of Tucson yesterday af
ternoon and today their leader was
positively identified as Emilio Cam
pa, the rebel leaa;deg leader. MARQUIS siilas
ard Dr. Ruffo, the latter a friend Of
Campo, identified him and he a6
mitted his identity.
q am tired Of fighting" said Campo.
After chase through northern
Sonora by federal troops, following
his raid on mining CAMPS and the
lines Of the Southern Pacific railroad,
Emilio P. Campo, the rebel leader,
and his staff crossed the American
lines south Of here and they are now
prisoners of the United States auth
critics. The identity OF the rebel
leader was not known until this morn
ing when after positive identified
ton by Dr. Ruffo, who calls himself
the Marquis Of Scilla, he admitted his
Identity and said he was tired OF
lighting. Dr. Ruffo was surgeon gen
eral for Madero i'll the previous re-
volution
Campo was captured by United
States Marshal G. A. Overlook, Sher-
iff Nelson and deputy without any
show of resistance. Campo sent two
men into Tucson Saturday night to
procure automobiles. The men were
arrested, and, after questioning, they
told Of the location of the remainder
of their party of ten. The rebel lead
er declared that he was surprised by
the unexpected OPPOSITION he met at
the hands of the federals under Col
onel Giron, who gave him a seven
hour battle at Altar Hard pushed
by the pursuing federals and practic-
ally destitute Of ammunition, he de-
cided to seek safety in the United
States with the vain hope that he
might be able to get ammunition at
Casas Grandes or Gilabend, on the
main line Of the Southern Pacific west
Of Tucson.
Stories that Campo got out with
100000 as the result Of his campaign
Of loot through northern sonora, are

ties, who assert that the rebel chief
had but $4O0 when arrested. His
companions had about 5000 each All
of the prisoners are being held pend

the situation as extremely critical.

chief Of police, who in defying the au.
thority Of the central government.
threatens to destroy the city in case
he is attacked The consul reports
unrest in the country districts around
Foochow.
The state department is not likely
to change its attitude toward the new
Chinese republic as the result Of the
letter sent by the Chinese Society oe
America to President Taft asking
for the formal recognition Of that
government Officials feel that the
appeal is founded upon misconcep-
tion Of the conditions existing in
China.
The United States has been in com
munication with all the other great
powers in its determination to insure
the existence of the new republic as
an independent government and shey
al have agreed that recognition
should be deferred until the present
provisional government gives form to
a constitutional government. Mean
