 The shooting of Madero took place between Villadama and Bastamente.
 Madero Started a Revolution.
 As the rebel leader in the Laredo district Geronimo Villareal, is a parti- san of General Trevino, the govern ment expects that the trouble in that vicinity will soon be adjusted.

 Rebel Activity Increasing.
 Hope for immediate peace in Mexico Is slight. Rebel activity in the north has increased and the governments efforts to enter into arrangements with the Zapatistas appear to have failed.
