Mexico City, Mex. Aug. 24--That
Francisco L Madero's methods OF re-
storing peace are not lacking in vigor
is indicated as a result of his visit to
Jojutla. where notices were posted
stating that hooters would be given
Just one day to return stolen property;
that failure to do so would result in
trial by courtmartif.I. whose judgment
probably would be death
In Jojutla, Madero Inspected the
work of mobs, whose members are said
to have been bandits rather than Ia
patistas. Most OF the largest stores
were looted. Madero made speech
in which he condemned the work of
the rabble and assured the citizens
that the guilty ones would be severely
punished.
Gen. Hernandez, former revolu-
fionary officer is in command Of the
Cuautla garrison. He and Madero con-
ferred for some time, Hernandez an
nouncing at the conclusion Of the con-
versation that drastic action would
be taken He has already arrested
a number of hooters and one man
caught in the act was shot.
At Ixtla, Madero conferred with Gen.
Ambrosio Figueroa, who is now in
pursuit OF the DanQilS.
Mud Singing Campaign.
Resolutions adopted and promises
exchanged at the famous meeting at
Tehuacan between Francisco I. Ma
dero and Gen Bernardo Reyes just be-
fore the Reyes candidacy for the presi-
dency was announced, are likely to be
forgotten with few more days of the
strenuous exchange Of none too polite
language between the rival candidates
At the Tehuacan interview each candi-
date protested to the other his desire
for campaign on the highest possible
plane. The dove OF peace fluttered
serenely just above the heads of the
former governor of Nuevo Leon and
the leader of the revolution as they
clasped hands and agreed that it should
be a model campaign.
The promise held good up to the time
of Mr. Madero's departure for Cuautla
fer the purpose OF bringing about a
peaceful solution of the difficulties be-
tween the government and Gen Eme-
liano Zapata. of the revolutionary
army, whose troops refused to be mus
tered out
Madero's ForcefuI Speech.
In Cuautla, Mr.. Madero delivered a
speech to the populace on the morn
a number Of charges against Gen.
Reyes and in which he INDUCED in
praise for Zapata. In one portion Of
his speech Madero said: "Only yester-
day great posters appeared in the capi-
tai of the republic which said that a
nation with 25. 900 men under arms and
q reserve Of 81, 900, 600 pesos should. not
treat with Zapata. This is what our
enemies say that is to say, what Reyes
saws. Why not? Because Reyes has
never been accustomed to treat with his
enemies when they are weaker than he
is and this is the Reyes who has llumi1-
lated himself before the powerful as he
has before Porfirio Diaz and Imam
tour and senior de Ia Barra and before
me.
Gen. Reyes goes about Boosting Of
his valor and says that with $4,000 men
and 10000 600 pesos Of reserve
he would not treat with the
people because tyrant Is
still necessary and an iron hand TO
govern and impose the will of the gov
eminent on the people and this is what
he proposes and conceives to be a
saving principle for the republic"
Madero Feels Offended.
In another portion Of his speech, Mr..
Madero declared that the intrigues Of
the revolutions enemies were the cause
of disturbed conditions as they were
intended TO produce a state of anarchy
in order to detract from his prestige
and to show the country that "Madero
can not govern the country because an
iron hand is needed"
He then continued, saying: "The ma
5or portion of the strikes have been
provoked by the intrigues of Reyes I
have not the material proof, for that
would be difficult to obtain, but we
have the moral proof and know it to
a moral certainty. He Is the one who
has been fomeating strikes and who
has even been giving money to their
support He is the one who has pro-
voked the present situation il order
to be able TO say that there is a state
OF anarchy and that he is the only man
who can dominate the situation.
Accuses Reyes of Treachery.
This would seem enough to arouse
the greybearded general of the divis-
ion, but the charges went even beyond
that, as one correspondent placed in
the mouth Of Madero the charge that
Reyes was intriguing to the end that
