(By Otheman Stevens, staff correspond-
eiit of the National News
Association.)
Mexico, City, Nov. 23 Mexico City
is quiet as New Rochelle today and
apparently the revolution has died
u-borning though the disposition here
is of course to keep news matters
quiet.
I have just arrived' from Kl Paso
through the states supposed to be won
over by Madero. At only one town,
that of Jlminez. In the state of
chihuahua, did I find any' sign of
lighting. ; There had been a foray by
Madero's followers during the sight
and ten Rurules and state police had
been killed. The foray had been off
set and the rebels had left for Pa mil
and mining camps ninety' miles away
on a branch road. They cut the tele
graph wires but reports had heavy
fighting there. There are many Ameri
cans at Parral and they are well arm
ed. : - '
Another force of rebels was said to
have started for Mitami. where an
American smelter and mine employs
5.000 more. The force of rebels was
estimated at 200.
Chihuahua was quiet at a o'clock on
.sunuay morning and Zacatacas was
serene at 1 o'clock this morning. Gen
, eral Diaz has taken personal charge
of the .Mexican situation and with his
past record In view, there is a belief
thut he will meet it with a severity
Unit will at once end it. Thut he is
doing so Is made plain by the several
troops trains which we passed going
nortji. These were enroute to Torreon
and Chihuahua but In no town between
Kl Paso and this city, save Torreon
did the Inhabitants-show any concern.
At Gomez-Palaclo the rebels threat
ened to attack last night but when
our train pulled out the place was
serene. At all station's Kuralcs are on
guard and governmental precautions
are evidently complete
I walked through the city last night
fur two hours and found it calm. The
only concern known by t lie Americans
on the train I traveled on here was
over their bridge scores. .
. Buttle lu Progress.
fciagle Puss, Tex.. Nov. 23 Revolu
tionists, headed by General Madero
are waging a terrific . battle with fed
eral troops about the town of Cuatro
Cienegas today, according to reports
received here. Leading an army of
more than 1,000 revolutionist, 'Madero
uttacked the town shortly before mid
night and the battle has been raging
four - hours.
The majority of Madero s men', are
mounted and well equipped with mod
urn urms, His Infantry Is armed with
muchine guns. Through the darkness
the Madero army made several sorties
against the garrison but always found
the federal troops ready and hot vol
leys compelled the rebels to drop back.
According to the report, which eumo
from Torreon, Madero led his troops
In person.
The rebel leader Inspired his men
to .recklessness, according to the report.
Through the night the darkness was
punctuated by the red glow of the
musketry and artillery fire. The rebels
were well supplied with ammunition
and kept up .an olncessant fusillade.
They , had tried to take the garrison
by surprise, but mounted Rurals gave
the alarm.
From the stout resistance offered
the Invaders It Was believed that many
residents of the town had Rocked In-
to the garrison and. were assisting the
government soldiers.
Anarchy Follows Revolution."
Kl Paso, Tex.,; Nov. 23 With the
sweep of the revolution toward the
cupital City of Mexico temporarily
checked in the north by government
troops, unarchy is following in the
wuke of the rebels' defeat and the
rebellion is spreading in the southern
part of the republic. :-', '

London, Nov. 23 Premier narrowly
escaped serious Injury tills morning

The women were able to gain access
to the grounds under the cover or a
heavy fog.. The official residence uhe
surrounded on all sides and, at a sig
nal, a concerted attack started. The
first stone smashed the glass In a con
servatory window. The butler, hearing
the uproar dashed through the front
door but he was met by a missle that
whizzed by his ear and compelled him
to take shelter immediately. Other per
vants were ordered to disperse the in
vaders for the crash of glass was be
coming Incessant, and a big stone that
had chashed th rough one of the lights
on an upper lloor had fallen upon the
premier's bed.
The servants, armed with brooms.
shovels, and sticks made a sortie but
were driven back while the suffragettes
creamed: "Give us votes and live in
peace.
A telephone call was sent for tile
police who arrived in time , to make
half a dozen arrests However all the
windows were smashed, doors were
battered and the household was almost
in hysterics.
The government continued its policy
of clemency today against 117-of the
suffragettes who were arrested yester
day for rioting and '- attacking the
premier upon the street. All the wo
men and two of their male supporters
