DULUTH MAN STILL IN PRISON | | Couriers Believed to Have Carried Messages to the Insurrecto Lead- ers In the Field. ) | El Paso, Tex., April 4 —Interest here in the Mexican war situation centers in Francisco 1. Madero, Sr., and Alfon- 80 Madero, who arrived in ‘El Paso, presumably on a mission of peace. ‘While maintaining a complete si- lence regarding the reason for their presence here, the father and brother of the insurrecto leader intimated that developments might be expected with- in the next few days. It is believed they are here to await the arrival of messengers from the insurrecto chief bringing tne terms upon which he will consent to a cessation of hostilities. That these terms must be formulated by the men who are in the field was declared by Alfonso Madero. That the elder Madero’s influence will be strongly for peace is the state- ment of those who claim to know his attitude. The father of the insurrecto leader, it is said, has never given the movement his whole hearted support, and would welcome the end of the war upon any reasonable terms. Couriers, who left for the insurrecto chief's camp near Chihuahua a few days ago, are now believed to have the son to make for peace. Mail advices from Magdelena, So- nora, declared the insurrectos cap- tured three wagonloads of ammunition which were being sent from Hermosil- lo to the federal’garrison at Ures. The wagon train was guarded by rurales and Yaqui Indians and it was stated there was_heavy loss on both sides. DENIED BY SUPREME COURT Injunction Asked to Prevent Rates in Medicines.
