REBELLION IN MEXICO IS THREATENING OVERTHROW.

United States Dispatches Troops to Border to Preserve Neutrality on The Texas Frontier. Revolutionary troubles have been threatening Mexico since the election that defeated Francisco I. Madero * last spring. Madero charged that be did not receive fair treatment in the campaign and could not get justice in the courts. He was held in prison for some time, but the existing government was overwhelmingly returned to power and Madero was released on bail and made bis way to San Antonio, Texas, from which point he is alleged to have been secretly promoting his partisans to engage in a widespread revolt which it was planned to begin last Sunday, Nov. 20th. Last Friday Madero slipped out of San Antonio and went to Cotulla, Texas, where he was met by four companions with horses and a guide and it is presumed that he went to take personal charge of the uprising against the government. The revolution centers around Gomez Palacio, a town of 7,000 inhabitants. It is reported that 30 persons were killed In the fighting Monday. The Government has seized all telegraph lines, to prevent the rebels from obtaining any information. The situation appears serious. President Diaz is in personal charge of the government's Interests.
