Millinery
For tomorrow and the balance of the week we feature
$5.00 millinery. Not such millinery as you ordinarily
expect to obtain for $5.00 but millinery that in past
seasons you would pay $7.50 and even $10.00 for. We
are doing this more with an idea of advertising our
business than of making a profit. We want to impress
on every woman in El Paso that it is here the best
styles and lowest prices are obtained.

aca we have another 5000 while
throughout Durango Coahuila Zaca-
tecas and Yucatan we have an addi-
tional 2000 men. I am speaking now
of the men who are adequately
equipped and armed. There are so
many thousands of others who are
eager to join the revolutionary troop3
that there is no method of estimating
their exact number.
"Our army now operating in the
state of Chihuahua is in admirable
condition. The recent overwhelming
victories show that it is an efficient
force. It Is under the command of Col.
Orozco who has proved himself a real
strategist. He is a very young man
but his 'ability to handle large bodies
of men has been proven.
"We are not shipping arms and am-
munition in from the United) States''
continued Madero "but we secured our
supplies some time ago. Not only do
Ave have arms and ammunition in
plenty but we have the means to get
more."

tions to leave Mexico and that when
he went he would probably never re-
turn. He claimed that this info-ma-tion
was brought to them by secret
agents who have been working in Mex-
ico City. Continuing he said:
Says Diaz is Frightened.
"Diaz Is frightened. There is no
doubt of that. 'The revolution is mak-
ing such progress that he is already
making plans for 'his departure. He
has rented all the property surround-
ing his residence on Cadena street in
Mexico City and has soldiers stationed
on the roofs night and day. Diaz is
now past 81 years of age and we have
certain Information that he is keep-
ing up by the aid of injections of
strychnia
"Not long ago Diaz made the state-
ment that if the revolutionists ever
reached a strength of 5000 men he
would take the field in person and con-
duct the campaign. Now according to
our figures which we have compiled
very carefully we have a total of
12000 armed men In -various parts of
Mexico all of them well equipped and
loyal to the cause of liberty. But Gen.
Diaz has done nothing apparently but
send messages to his generals 'in'" the
field censuring them for their failure
to put down the revolution.

ESCOBOSA'S ARREST
IS NOW EXPLAINED
The reason why Rafael Escobosa
chief clerk to terminal superintendent
P. C. Mentzer is in jail was made clear
yesterday. Escobosa was arrested sev-
eral days ago was released but was
again arrested Monday after the cap-
ture of a horse said to have been rid-
den by Pascual Orozco. f Telegraphic
messages in code were found in the
saddle bags of the horse and the ar-
rest followed.
Superintendent Mentzer explains the
messages by stating that he had ar-
ranged for the sending of messages
to him in code and that when Orozco
went to the station at Rancherito he
demanded all the messages there and
secured them including these in code.

Almmada New Governor Starts Ont by

iA special published in the Mexican
Herald dated Chihuahua February 3
says:
Governor Ahumada has ordered
adobe and sand barricades erected in
front of the state and municipal pal-
aces here but business goes on as
usual and there is nothing apparent of
a revolutionary character at or near
Chihuahua.
Many of the suspects who have been
detained in the penitentiary here have
been released by order of the governor.
In his order releasing these men Ahu-
mada deprecates the previous wholesale
arrests of men suspected of beng in
sympathy with the revolutionists.
OROZCO'S FATHER HERE.
Orozco's father who is an officer in
the insurrecto army was in El Paso
last night accompanied by two of his
men and held a conference with the
insurrecto junta jn this city.

in his hand and was not to be distin-
guished from the others except by his
clothes which were not made for the
plains He wore a soft black hat and
ordinary tan shoes and -stripped of his
arms could haie walked into El Paso
without arc using interest.
Pascual Orozco does not look like a
Mexican. His mustache is red and his
skin is naturally fair. He is a tall man
ut stoops when he walks and talks
as if tired that false fatigue which
some men of great energy possess.
VTe sat down on the rocks and chat-
ted. "They have laid some mines for
us." he said. "Some are in the hills
near the fort I know. We are wait-
ing for Blanco. Maybe he will have
to fight some of the way. maybe not."
The Ambush of Rohnsjo.
Then I asked him the question: "Hpw
did you come to allow the 300 under
Robasro to enter Juarez?" He explained
j slowly "We had taken up . the rails
and dug a trench along tne side oi
the tracks. Dynamite? We did not
know if1 it would be a troop train or a
passenger tram. Well we waited all
day and they did not come. My men
were hungry and so were the horses.
They wanted to eat or fight naturally
so! About 8 oclock we decided that
the troops would not arrive. So we
started to march to Juarez from
Bauche. Yes we were going to attack
the town and take it try to. But
we heard the train and returned. The
troops had come had been there 20
minutes or so. They had our trenches
yes the very trenches we had dug. Bur
we fought about two hours that night
and all the next day. We were still
as hungry as before. If we had taken
Juarez we could have eaten. No? But
we had to fight.
When Robago Escaped.
"That next night we left about 50
men to hold them while the rest came
for water to the Flores ranch. They
got away because our men were fight-
ing from a hill and they had a valley
to march through and their horses
were fresh and ours were nearly dead
with thirst. What could we do? Yes
It was bad but no matter now. We
lost two men; they were wounded and
died later. Thev federals? I do not
know but I think they must have lost
many How many I will not guess.
They have a few wounded in Juarez
yes? Here I have more than 300 men.
There are 200 more west and south
yes that is all around hre. They are
all right now; they have eaten. And
the horses are better; they too have
eaten and drunk."
After the Fight.
When I saw Orozco after the fight
of yesterday he was a little more
cheerful looking but equally as modest
and reserved. He described the fight;
said they had exchanged shots at about
600 meters his men spread over many
hills. The general said that his men
only had opportunity to expend about
50 shots. He estimated that the fed-
erals had spent 100. And all to no
effect he said. He told me that none
of his men were killed or wounded
and that he knew of no federal being
hit.
"We only saw one riderless horse of
the federals" he said. "But I cannot
claim that we killed any for I do not
know." . t
At that time we sat in the twilight
on the sand near the bank of the river.
His men rode up to make reports but
none had found any federal dead. His
men speak to him familiarly some
with plain "Orozco" others "Don Pas-
cual" and others merely "Pascual." Yet
there is a noticeable respect to the man
and an unmilitary yet strong disci
pline.
Will Americans Believe?
"Now will the Americans believe?"
he asked me as we sat on the sand
and watched the crowds cheering on
the United States side. "It is proof
no?" The man's eyes twinkled and
I saw the first sign of pride in his
but just a suggestion of it just enough.
This general had been eating goat's
meat shared with his men and he was
within access of El Paso and its fine
restaurants. "We want to be careful
and keep on this side" he told me.
Then he asked me eagerly: "Did any
bullets reach the other side?"
' I told him a few did one or two
ut that nobody was hurt. He was
very grave. "I told them to be care-
ful" he explained. "It was difficult
because the federals were between ud
and the American side. But it should
not have happened and I am very sorry
very sorry."
The Skirmish.
I had seen the skirmish a joke from
the side of the federals. The company
of infantry had ben sent to do the
fighting and they exchanged all of the
shots. The cavalry waited on the river
road as I supposed to advance when a
prompt sally was needed or at least
to cover 'the retreat of the infantry.
But when the infantry began to return
to Juarez under the slow but deter-
mined fire from the hills those 80
odd cavalrymen who had not fired a
shot turned and went back down the
road never covering the withdrawal
of the unmoyunted men and never as-
sisting in any way.
I Gen. Pascual Orozco from his po-
sition on a hill saw all this the ad-
j vance of the infantry and the with-
i drawal of the cavalry. But he made
i no comment either as to the quality
j f his men or the display of federal in-
l efficiency. He only said: "Now the
i Americans will know becaust ttiey

Baca's rebel column took another fall
out of the federals and" Pedro T. Go-
mez aid to Gulllermo Baca took the
last count. The fight took place Sun-
day night about 6 oclock a short dis-
tance beyond Ojito on the Parral and
Durango railroad and lasted for about
two hours when the rebels retired.
According to the reports the rebels
opened fire first with no damage both
sides occupied excellent position be-
hind barriers of rocks and mounds
which probably accounts for the light
fatality list and after the Srst few
rounds very few shots were firea ex-
cept at intervals when a rebel or fed-
eral poked his 'head or any part of his
person above the dead line.
Baca and his troop havtf engaged the
federals numerous times during the
past two months and in various places;
he has lost every battle thusfar ac-
cording to the "official reports" yet
he has been the most persistent leader
In the cause and never fails to engage
the federals whenever he thinks there
is half a chance.
The KHllngr of Gomez.
The captain of the federals gave
orders to the men to pick off the rebel
leaders at all hazards and the result
was that many shots were aimed where
Baca and Gomez were supposed to be
stationed directing the men.
Two 'hours passed and the moon
was rising neither side giving away.
Finally firing ceased entirely and a
short time later the sound of disap-
pearing hoofs could be heard. The
federals mounted their horses gave
chase and poured volley after volley
after the retreating figures but the
rebels had made good their retreat.
The federals rode back to the posi-
tion occupied by the rebels during the
fight and found Pedro T. Gomez the
friend of Baca stretched out in death.
The soldiers had picked off one rebel
leader anyway. A search of his per-
