reversed. and 1t j. the Germans who are
denying something that has been claimed

If TIE MADEROS HAVE BROKEN
WITH GENERAL VILLA.

The arrival of Emilio. Julio and Al
fonSo Madero in III Paso from Mexico
Is the basis for a news dispatch sent
out from FL Paso saying that the Ma
deros have definitely broken with
General Villa, and that Raoul Madero
is with Felipe Angeles at Monterrey,
where he is trying 10 form a junction
with the convention forces. The same
dispatch declares that Villa has seized
the property Of the Maderos in the ter
%ory he controls. and asserts the ar
val OF the Maderos in the United
pStates is confirmatory ii the reported
break between Villa and Angeles.
1t has been generally supposed, per-
haps correctly so, that the Maderos
have been the principal supporters Of
the Villa movement IN the present civil
war in Mexico, and if they have with
drawn their support and are bending
leir energies with Angeles 10 an al
lance with the convention forces a new
factor il would appear is about 10 en-
ter into the already confused situation
in Mexico.
The convention force referred to in
the dispatch is probably that of Gene
raj Eulalio Gutierrez. provisional pre-
sident named by the AguaS Galleries
convention. who recently retired with
a force said to number about 10000
men to Doctor Arroyo. IN the state of
Nuevo Leon. and designated that Sc
Guided village as his capital. 1t would
therefore seem certain that If Angeles
and Raoul Madcro succeeded in join
ing their forces with those of Gu
tierrez that new and unexpected devel-
opponents of quite an interesting ma
ture will follow.
III there Is any truth in the FL
Paso dispatch the went II chronicles
must be of recent occurrence. for
had IL been earlier il does not seem
plausible that Angeles would have per
mitted the Jose T.. Rodriguez army TO
have passed through Monterrey 10 join
Villa. at Torreon'
Whether Angeles is at Monterrey
is not positively known, but If he is
there, and Villa is IN personal command
Of the army now fighting or about TO
fight Obrogon. some action may be- cX-
pected ON the part of the army of Gu
t~ierrez. which has been inactive now
since January.
