REVOLUTION IN
MEXICO QUELLED
Plans Of InSuTrGCtioGiStS Are
Nipped in the Bud
MANY KILLED IN PuEBLA
Riot But Great Number of Them
Were Merely Spectators of
the Fight

Mexico City, November 20.-The insur-
rection which was said to have been
planned for today against the govern
ment of Mexico failed to materiallze.
Sunday passed without unusual Incl
dent and while the authorities have not
relaxed their vigilance it is believed that
no further trouble will occur.
Special dispatches received here tonight
from many places, including Vera Cruz,
Puebla, Pachuca and Orlzab, stated that
everything had been quiet all day in those
cities. Two men working as mine bosses
were arrested in Pachuca and brought
here. 1t is believed they are suspected
Of having been implicated in the plot
against the government
A dispatch from Pachuca said that the
children of three women who are in Jail
charged with firing upon soldiers during
the Puebla fight are being cared for by
a German woman. One woman who was
under arrest was released after an in
vestigation showed that she had not par
ticipated in the fray
A newspaper correspondent who re-
turned to Mexico City tonight from Pu-
ebla said that more than 40 persons were
slain in the fight which occurred at
the house of Aquiles Cerdan. Sixteen
of the dead were revolutionists, he stated,
and the others were members of the
police force, soldiers and spectators. The
correspondent estimated the number of
wounded at about 125 and among them
were a large number of persons inno-
cent of any wrong doing, but who hap
pened to be in the vicinity at the time
and were victims of stray bullets.
Reports received tonight from Santa
Cruz, town between here and Puebla,
stated that the demonstration there last
night was of short duration party of
revolutionists, small in number attempt
ed to create revolt, but were driven
to the mountains by troops.
An attempt was made to burn bridge
on the Mexican railway near Santa Cruz,
but soldiers were quickly on the scene
and prevented the act. Late reports say
that no further disturbance was antici-
pated there.
No bull fights were allowed to take
place in Mexico City today and there
were no large gatherings of any kind
in any section of the capital.
Soldiers and police patrolled the streets
all day, but not an act occurred, so fai
as can be learned. thai REQUIRED their ser
vices
In the suburban districts, where 1t was
said trouble was to be expected. every
thing was quiet and order prevailed In
all towns in the federal district.
An air of uneaslness could be observed
among members of the foreign colonies on
account of the uncertainty of the situa-
ton. In the clubs and restaurants the
situation was the sole topic of conversa-
ton and now that Sunday has passed
without an outbreak an easier feeling
prevails
The whereabouts of Francisco 1. Ma
dero, said to be the leader in the plot
against the constituted authorities of the
republic, are not known here, but the
impression prevails that he will not re-
turn to this country from San Antonio
where he has been since he was released
from custody on the San Luis Potosi
Nothing is known here of his reported
departure from San Antonio to some poin,
along the border.
