Special to The New York Times.
    EAGLE PASS, Texas, Feb. 26.— Venustancio Carranzas, deposed Governor of the State of Coahuila, and who occupied the position of Secretary of War in Madero's provisional Cabinet, is at the head of a force of 3,000 rebels that are reported this evening to be in the neighborhood of Monclova, about 100 miles south of here. The Carranzas adherents have captured Saltillo, the State capital, from the Federals, the latter fleeing to the old Buena Vista battlefield. Gen. Tracy Auber, with 600 Federals, is within a few miles of Monclova, and a battle between the opposing forces is expected at any time.
    According to advices received here today, the Carranzas revolt now covers practically all of Coahuila and has extended into Nuevo Leon and Durango. All of the important towns along the railroad leading south of here to Torreon are in the hands of rebels. Their rallying cry is "The death of Madero must be avenged."
    In the San Pedro district, near Torreon, Emilio and Raoul Madero, brothers of the dead ex-President, are reported to be at the head of several hundred rebels.
