Mexico City, Feb. 26.-EmehO Ma.
dero, a brother of the late ex-President
Madero, has been shot and killed north
of Monterey, according to reliable in,
formation received here.
Attempting to Join Rebels.
With an escort of 35 men Madero, it
is said, was attempting to join the reb-

vino. The reports do not indicate
whether Madero was killed in action
or was executed. The shooting of Ma
dero took place between Villadama
and Bastamento.
AS the rebel leader in the Laredo
district Geronimo VillareaD is par
tisan of General Trevino, the govern
ment expects that the trouble in that
vicinity will soon be adjusted.
Had Begun Counter Revolution.
Emelio Madero, in conjunction with
his brother Raoul, few days ago be-.
gan counter revolution at San Pedro
in the state of Coahuila in the expecta-
ton of uniting the rebels about Saltillo
with those in the Laredo district
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.
Whether the rebels, whose center is
the state of Coahuila, have increased
numerically is not generally known,
but they have so conducted their oper.
atoms already that communication
with the frontier has been stopped,
that region between Laredo and San
Luis Potosi being practically isolated.
In the South the Zapatistas continue
burning and raiding, and an attack on
a military train between Ozumba and
Mexico City leaves little doubt as to
their attitude towards the new admin
istration.
Demand Rank for Officers.
One of the demands of the Zapatis-
tas, made by commissioners repre-
senting that section of the rebels, was
that all Zapatista officers be admitted
to the regular establishments with cor.
responding rank, some having as
sumed the title of general. To this
the government strongly objected.
The commissioners left in order to re-
port to their chief and soon word came
back that the Zapatistas considered
the revolution still in progress.
The government has sent forces
southwark toward Cuernavaca, along
the line of the, Central railway, por-
ton of which, destroyed by rebels,
will be rebuilt.
Reports from the state of Morelos
indicate that the work of destruction
during the last "a hours has been more
complete than is ordinarily undertaken
by the rebels.
To offset the antagonism Of the Ia
patistas, however, the government be-
lieves there will be no difficulty in
concluding arrangements for peace
with Juan Andrew Almazan and Julio
RadillO, the two most prominent lead
ers in the state of Guerrero. Nor is
there much doubt felt that arrange
ments can be made by the new govern
ment agents sent to Ell Paso with rep
resentatives of Orozco's army.
Revenge Not Huerta's Aim.
President Huerta insists that his
will not be government of retalia-
ton or revenge, but will devote it's
energy to the placation of persons
mildly antagonistic and to stern re-
preston of it's active enemies.
AS indicating the sincerity of the
president, most of those who were ar
rested Immediately after the over.
throw of Madero have been released,
among them Juan Sanchez AZcona,
Madero's private secretary.
