 For my part, have no aspiration have no desire or wish to be the big man in Mexico: l have no desire to be heralded as the redeemer of | my country. The only ambition

 "Stories of fighting in the neigh borhood of Juarez are false. There has been no engagement, big or lit tie. and l know that up to last night no force of rebels of any consequence has been within 30 miles of Juarez.

ASKS FOR MONROE DOCTRINE IN THE

Washington. June 13- Demand that the Monroe doctrine be defined in the covenant of the League of Ma tions since no nation of the world has ever expressly accepted the doc Urine. and that the former emperor of Germany be tried by his own countrmen, is made in a memorandum submitted to the peace conference by General Policarpo Bonilla, head of the Honduranian delegation to the Paris conference
 ''The Monroe doctrine" says the memorandum, made public herae to- day, directly affects the Latin American republic. It has never been embodied in any international docu- ment nor has it been expressly accep- ted by any of the nations of the old or new worlds
 ''It has furthermore been variously defined and applied by presidents and other statesmen of the United States and for these reasons it is in- dispensable that in the peace treaty about to be signed it shall be exactly defined so that it shall be written into international law"

The forces of Gen Angeles are we'll equipped. his cavelry horses are the best seen below the border. and equal those of American cavalry. General Angeles is well supplied with funds and states he is paying for everything he obtains from the ranch folk
 The most surprising thing is his men, They are not the ordinary run of revolutionists. They are big and strong and when some were asked about Juarez. they smiled and said: We can take Juarez in three hours"
 General Felipe Angeles head quarters are in an old house situated on lane off the main road about l3 miles southeast of Juarez.
 To reach his headquarters is diff cult task because his men appear every few yards. Some of his forces are armey with as many as three guns and as many cartridges belts, filled to capacity with shells
