Flckert treated the matter lightly.
"Heney Insulted me grossly, but I re

Then I seised him and held him until
he quieted down." he said.
"There was not a time when I could

Rebel Hands Recognition
May Soon lie Asked.
NEW YORK. Feb. 15. The reappear
ance today of Francisco I. Madero, pro
visional lnsurrecto president of Mexico,
In the little border town of Guadelupe
brought an accnowledgment here tonight
from his brother, Gustavo Madero. that
the chief has been hiding In American
territory.
"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"Orosco has not been superseded, but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. It would have been desirable
to take Juares If U were possible, but
the present position of the Federal forces
has Its advantages for vs.
"Rabago and Navarro advanced to the
relief of Juarex from Casas Grandes and
Guerrero. both important strategic
points, which they had to abandon with
out a battle. 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. JUAREZ UNDER MARTIAL LAW
