    MEXICO CITY, Feb. 25.— Emilio Madero, a brother of the late President Madero, has been shot and killed north of Monterey, according to reliable information received here.
    With an escort of thirty-five men Madero was attempting to join the rebels holding Laredo when he was overtaken by troops sent by Gen. Trevino. The reports do not indicate whether Madero was killed in action or was executed.
    The shooting of Madero took place between Villadama and Bastamente.
    As the rebel leader in the Laredo district, Geronimo Villareal, is a partisan of Gen. Trevino, the Government expects that the trouble in that vicinity will soon be adjusted.
    Emilio Madero, in conjunction with his brother Raoul, a few days ago began a counter-revolution at San Pedro, in the State of Coahuila, in the expectation of uniting the rebels about Saltillo with those in the Laredo district.
