r THE MEXICAN LEADERS. 'An American paper gives an interesting account of the situation in Mexico and of',;tho revolutionary leader. It seems from this account that Zapata, who was biioof the men who aotecf with. Madero agaiAst Diaz, is an outlaw of no great edupation, and with very little know.ledgq of the of war, but tv man of considerable natural force and shrmvdn«ss. Hβ hag been.materially assisted by the defection of Orozcp, the trusted lieu.enant of Mudcro, in the capture of Ciuda Juarez Inst , year. Orozco has a following in the north, and it was his capture of the .city of Chihuahua, and tho loot that it brought him that gave the counter-revolution against Madero a more dangerous turn. The now regime had failed to bring in the much-trumpeted millennium, and these leaders have therefore been able to win over the discontented. . The revolutionary soldiers are said, to have received support from the Dinz party in Paris. Whether this be true, or not, , the writer of this article, who appears to be well informed, declares that the chances of the counter-revolution seem almost hopeless. Public'sentiment ..heartily.supports President Madero, who has a force, including the mountod police, ■of 40,000 men, well and armed, ■to deal with tho bands of Zapata and Orozco, who are neither so ■ numerous nor so well .trained. ■■* :'•-'"
