THE ANTI.MADHRO UPRISING

1t is no longer denied that the new
revolution in Mexico is spreading
from state to state, although it does
not appear that leadership has been
found for it. The revulsion against
the Madero administration is, there
fore. lacking in cohesion and organi-
zation, and hence might rather easily
be overcome If a firm hand were dis
played by those in power. But, in
the absence of evidence that proper
effort is being made to restore order,
it is forced upon US that the new
regime is as powerless as the Diaz
government to assert its authority.
The same inexplicable inertia ap-
pears to have seized the military that
was so noticeable during the recent
uprising, when frequent announce
ment was made that federal troops
were going forward and that the sit
uation was we'll in hand. but actually
operations were at a standstill, as
later transpired, because the army
had become so honeycombed with
disloyalty that the troops could not
be depended upon to fight the insur-
rectoes. Madero no longer finds 1t
possible. as he did at first, to quell
the warring factions through person
al appeal. The conditions in the old
Diaz strongholds in the south are de-
scrtbed az being most unfavorable, a
fact that suggests that the cientilicos
are stirring up revolt preparatory to
definite demonstration against
Madero.
As the points Of disturbance are
far removed from the boundary, the
United States authorities are not con-
cerning themselves as to the progress
Of events. or at least show no great
concern. The troops are still in
course Of dispersion at San Antonio
and other camps. as II the fear Of in
