which $500 men on each side were re
ported killed or wounded, contained IN
a dispatch received here today, Is now
believed to be a revival OF an OLD re-
port of fighting in that district. Ru-

foreign office today and Informed the
British government that under no cir
cumstances could Montenegro acqm-
esca in any transaction under which

relied with DR.. Vasquez Gomez, he and
his brother forced Jose Pima SuareZ to
the front to take the position OF vice
president, although he was little known.
This was a thing Madero's enemies
never forgave and was really the rea-
son for the starting Of the anti-gov-
ernment party, which showed sympa-
thetic opposition to the schemes OF the
politician, Gustavo Madero. After Gus
tavo's arrest yesterday and during his
removal through the streets the crowds
were wildly excited and even made ef-
