headed, smiling, Francisco I. Madero,
stood today on the pedestal OF the
gigantic monument to the Mexican
hero, Juarez, and while the hot sun
shine beat down upon him and his
newly garbed army, carried off a
scene which will go down In the his
tory Of Mexico.
Madero is going to Mexico City.
His army tomorrow marches towards
Casas Grandes, seventy miles toward
Chihuahua. When he again meets
his men, 1t will be after he has been
received as victor in the Mexican cap
ital. The occasion today therefore,
was Madero's farewell to his army.
Soldier Of the army of freedom"
he said. six months ago today we
took up our carbines to defend our
liberties. In that short time we have
succeeded. We have the satisfaction
Of knowing that we are free, and that
our sons shall be free. Tomorrow
YOU go away. but shall not say
goodbye. can tell you that all dan
ger is over, and that there will prob
ably not be another shot fired. We
can truly say that at last we are citi-
zens of our beloved Mexico"
Serious faced soldiers cheered wild
ly. They presented an impressive ap-
pearance. Most of them had new uni
forms, new shoes and new cartridge
belts, filed with ammunition. Not a
ragged tnsurrecto was to be seen
Sunday is the beginning of week Of
waiting for Madero. His present plans
provide that peace negotiations are
to be conducted in Mexico City. Mad
ero expects Diaz to resign on We'd
nesday next, and as soon as Foreirn
Minister De La Barra has assumed
the provisional presidency, Madero
plans to begin his triumphal progress
to the Mexican capital.
The work Of repairing the line of
the National railway of Mexico is go
Ing on rapidly. 1t is 4S hour trip to
Mexico City and Pullman cars are
awaiting Madero's convenience.
Madero's entry into the Mexican
capital will be an impressive and his
torical event. Today from every city
IN Mexico there came rush of tele-
grams from societies, schools, univer-
sites, business firms and prominent
men. pleading with Madero to rush,
and telling him that the capital and
nation were impatient to do him high
est honors. Madero takes these as
Indicating that the people of Mexico
are satisfied with the demands he
mas made on Diaz. The rebel leader
is not well, however. It developed
after the ceremonies Of today that he
had been i'll throughout the day and
mat he was sick even when he smiled
down on his troops Doctors say 1t is
case Of indigestion. The first at
tempt of the revolutionists to run a
city is being successfully tried at
Juarez. Today the postoffice was
opened for the first. time since the
Oattle. The customs office also added
$4,000 to the insurrectos funds. Sam
uel Quintez, Madero's aid, was placed
IN charge of the postoffice, and tele-
graph and railroad lines in Mexico.
Just after this imposing duty was
placed upon him, he said to the
united Press correspondent: Were
having pretty hard work. You see,
we don't know how to do all these
'nihgs, but we are doing the best we
ean and we will learn soon"

with a $4,000 reward placed on his
