Francisco I. Madero tried to teach
his countrymen democracy, but they
had been under the Diaz rule so long
that they had forgotten what the word
meant. The worst accusation made
against Madero is that he was a dream

his country. of honest elections, of hui
name government, Of land for the land
less and Of peace and prosperity for the
people. He was also criticised for be-

Poor Madero! He had become indoc-

apply it to Mexico, only to find that
the people did not comprehend it or
know how to use it. The poorer class

could take what. they wanted with
none to say them nay. The poems are

other American republics. both by our

At present there are mutterings OF
revolt all over Mexico. The finger Of
scorn of all nations is pointed at the
Huerta regime. at the methods by
which Huerta himself gained Office, at
the crude and revolving savagery dis
played in the killing of the two Made

brutalities.
Will There Be Intervention
What will the United States do?
Foreign nations are exerting pressure
on us in favor of intervention. They
point to our responsibility under the
Monroe doctrine to keep order in the
western hemisphere. Those who have
large investments in Mexico are also
urging us to Intervene
President Taft steadfastly refused to
heed this clamor, and there is every
reason to believe that President Will
son will do the same. At the same
time, warships are being rushed to
Mexican waters and troops are mobil-
izing at Galveston and other points
near the border. These are precau-
tionary measures and are such steps
as practically all neutral nations take
when there is warfare near their boun-
daries.
Americans who talk idly Of interven-
ton should realize fully just what such
serious step would mean.
1t would certainly bring war. The
gringos, as we are called. are not
particularly popular across the line.
Mexicans may quarrel among them
selves. but the moment we made a
hostile move they would unite like
long lost brothers. All the different
"istas" would forget their grievances
against each other and rush to support
the independence of their land. We
should make no mistake on this score.

range and Badly Whipped.
Mexico City, Oct 1.-THE failure
Of General Trucy Aubert to get to tho
city OF Torreon in time to relieve it
a mission upon which he set out from
Saltillo nearly month ago with a
large force of federal troops, is ex-
planned by the fact that the greater
part of his 1000 men deserted him
before he had completed half of his
journey.
He had reached MADEIRA, twenty five
miles east of Torreon, when news of
the evacuation of the city reached
him.
AS soon as the vanguard of the re-
treating federal troops came into
view General Aubert's men fed with
all their arms and ammunition.
The report that General Aubert had
gone over to the rebels is not SUBJ
stantiated. He is said to be at Hip
olito, fifty miles west of Saltillo, to
which point he retreated with the
men who had evacuated Torreon un-
der Generals Ignacio Bravo, Munguia
and Escudera.
General Alvirez, who started with
1000 men, 'wo siege guns and a num-
ber of pieces OF light artillery, to re-
take the city of Durango from the
rebels and whose defeat caused the
evacuation of Torreon, fell into an
ambuscade at La Iona, thirty miles
to the southwest of Torreon.
Relying upon information that the
rebels had left the vicinity he moved
forward.
Suddenly he found both his advance
and retreat cut off in a canyon by
heavy forces OF rebels, who poured
In sharp fire from both sides of the
pass. General Alyirez made a stout
resistance and managed to get word
back to Torreon asking for reinforce
ments.
Another story of the same fight is
to the effect that the federal troops
under General Alvirez broke and fed
as soon as the first shot had been
fred.
General Alvirez, who was regarded
as one of the bravest officers In the
federal army, was captured with his
staff, and all are said to have been
executed on the spot by the rebels.
