,o City brought authentic reports OF S
2 demonstration against the palace OF r
President Diaz about two weeks ago, I
which took the form of stoning the Q
windows. This United States OIL a
cial witnessed the incident but the 4
censorship is so rigid that no news r
of the affair has heretofore reached i
the border. The demonstration was /,
so, sudden that the police were un'
able TO disperse the mob until much ,
of the window glass had been broken.
The riot occurred at about o'clock
in the evening, when the streets
about the Official residence were filed
with people. Without any prelude or
excitement, there was a movement OF
men and shouts from the streets IN
the vicinity of the palace as II by a .
signal. Shouting: 'Viya Madero'
the rioters threw volleyS OF stones
through the windows. The guests OF
the President were frightened but the
President remained cool and sent one
| of his aides to the police to inquire
why they did not stop the trouble 1t !
| is said that only few whole win
dows were left on one side OF the
residence. A number OF arrests were
made. AS far as known, this was the
first demonstration against Diaz made
| ;ct,, tot ciprp the ha-
ginning OF the revolution.
