"My brother has been part of the time in El Paso." said Gustavo Madero. "I cannot at this time account for his movements," he continued, "but It Is true that he Is now at -Guadelupe and his appearance there is a sure sign that he feels the situation Is shaping Itself to his desires. A board of strategy has been formed and he will share In its deliberations, although It Is not yet planned that he should take the field in person. We do not know his ability as a military leader; he does not know that himself. . Rebels Control North. "Orosco has not been superseded, but he will now act in closer co-operation with other lnmirgent generals under a centralized supervision. We do not feel that the failure to storm Juarez Is a setback.

Chihuahua Is now garri soned by only 750 Federal troops and be tween Juares and Chihuahua the country la In our possession. "What do we care how many men the government coops up In Juarex. They do us no harm there and what we want Is to spread the revolution. The more the country Is left opsn to us, the quicker progress we shall make When we solidify our forces It will be an easy matter to starve Juarez out. It Is cut off from the sotuh already." Gustavo Madero made the unqualified statement today that many of the federal officers suspected of sympathy with the lnsurrectos have been exe cuted' secretly, but that so strict had been the censorship that no word hint ing at disloyalty In the army or at dis cipline by the government had beea permitted to leak out of the capital. Recognition May be Asked. Senor Madero left for Washington to night. The time Is not yet ripe, he be lieves, for the lnsurrectos to demand recognition as belligerents, but he Inti mated that. In case Juarez should fall, such a demand would be made, and upon the United States first of all. The revolutionists have agents in Wash ington, but no recognized representa tive.
