END OF DIAz REIGN EXPECTED
Known at Washington AdmInIstra-
ton Mna TntterinE.


tiOn Was TOtterinE.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-(special Tele-
gram)-It was learned today that the fall
of the Diaz cabinet has been expected in
Washington official circles for a week.
Therefore, the dispatches from Mexico
created no stir at the White House. or at
the State department. The gravity Of con-
ditions in the Mexican republic was a sub
ject OF discussion between the president
and his cabinet a few days ago It is
understood that they had before them re-
ports which showed that the Diaz admins
trstion was lettering and that crisis was
near at hand.
There is no change as yet in the military
program Of the United States. The forces
in Texas are ready, as they have been
for more than a week, TO take steps that
may be necessary to guard American and
foreign interests.
The resignation Of the Diaz cabinet is
regarded as the first official admission
of the desperate straights Of the govern
ment n Mexico. All along Dlaz and his
ministers have maintained that the rebel
lion was merely a series of sporadic out
breaks in different parts OF the republic
and that it soon would be put down. Now
comes an evident attempt to placate the
revolutionists and an admission that re
forms are necessary.
Whether It will have the effect Of
calling a halt in the military operations
Of the insurrectionists Is doubtful. They
may pause for a time to see who Diaz f.
going to put in office but their Washing
ton representatives are shy Of any promises
that may come from the present Mexican
government and viii have 10 he well as
sured OF a sweeping re organization be-
fore they will consider the question Of
abandoning the field. They do not pro-
pose, il they can help Il, to lay down their
arms and then find that they have walked
into a trap.
There is a significant statement in a
dispatch which Enrique Creel, the Mexican
minister Of foreign relations, sent 10 senior
de la Barra. the Mexican ambassador in
Washington, today.
The ambassador got the telegram at 2
o'clock this afternoon. After announcing
the designations. it said:
The decision has been very well received
by the public which feels that peace Will
be firmly established all over the country
by the reforms that are going 20 be insti-
tuted"
This promise Of reform b. regarded
merely as an inducement 90 the reyolu-
tionists 10 stop fighting II Is a so an ad-
mission that Diaz realizes he cannot hope
TO remain in power under the present
order Of things.
Washington take the promise OF reform

MADERos GO TO SAN ANTONIO
President of rn.urrccto Party Hear.

FreNiueuN OF luHmFFeetn FWFNN HenFA

NEW YORK. March 26.-tSpeciaI Tele-
gram Francisco Maderc, sr., and Gus
tavo, his son, left New York today for
San Antonio Tex, where they can he
nearer Francisco Madero, provisional
president OF the insurrecto party. Before
they left they showed the following tele-
gram from Alfonso l.. Madero whom they
will join in San Antonio:
"Chilapa, In the state Of Guerrero, a
town Of 10000. is in the hands OF the
insurgents zahuaripa, In the state Of
Sonora; Culiacan, the capital Of the state
Of sinaloa. and Mazatlan. the main port
on the Pacific, Of the state Of sinaioa,
are menaced by insurgents. OUnaga, op-
posite Preside, is besieged and is short
Of provisions. We expect its surrender
very soon. Good news from the rest Of
the republic"
Francisco Madero was vislbly elated
over the resignation Of the Diaz cabinet,
but cautious. He said:
ITS little early to tell Just what 1t
means, but it certainly is along the lines
1 prophesied. l look on IL as the begin
ming Of the end, but If you ask me what
the end will be, l do not know. Imam
tour Is now in power, or so0p will be. We
must wait to see what he will do Ac-
cording as he fails or succeeds, will the
scales dip"
The Maderos would not say in so many
words why they have changed their base
from New York to the border, but they
let 1t be inferred that they felt events
are so shaping themselves that their pres
ence nearer the scene Of actual hostilities
was needed.

a theory that the murderers Of Mr.. Cohn
were night providers. intending to rob the
home Of Frank Hamilton next door south
of the Cohn residence, is CLEANED from a
story told by Mrs. Hamilton
Five minutes after ! had turned off

she says. Il aroused Mr.. Hamilton and
he ran to the front door. There he heard

Peters running to the side of the dying
man"
I'm support Of this theory is the fact that
the bloodhounds in taking up the scent
went back into the driveway to the gar
age and smelled about, indicating that the
men had been walking around there
When the highwaymen saw the light
flash on and off in the Hamilton home,
they thought they were apprehended and
started out the drive to escape" said De-
tective Van Deusen. Reaching the exit
they were faced by Mr.. Cohn and his son,
Loyal, walking north. They thought the
two were men from the Hamilton home
trying to head them off and shot"
Another theory Is that the man who
killed Mr.. COhn let go of the hammer of
his revolver, which was out of repair be-
fore he could utter his command to hold
up the hands. Chief Of Police Donahue
holds this theory. He demonstrated the
action Of the gun before Loyal Cohn Ran

MURDBRERs WE'RE YOUNG HOBOEs
Savage Thinks They Were Providers at
Hamilton Residence.


Chief Savage in commenting on the MUIR
der, said that 1t looked like the work of
providers, who were surprised and who shot
in excitement, rather than in premedita-
ton The revolver dropped by the muir
derers was a cheap bulldog make and not
such weapon as a regular highwayman
would carry He says 1t is not unlikely
that the two men who have committed
robbery here within the last week have
some connection with the killing. F. b.

When the suspects, Lahey and Mignery,
were questioned at the police. station by

Saturday night. Adams did not keep the
appointment, and Lehey and Mignery
walked to the station, where they took a
Missouri Pacific train as far as Fort

claimed to have 50 cents, paying 40 cents
for the two tickets as far as Fort Crook.

referred 10 the conductor and brakemen OF
the train on which they sag they left

in their account OF the time the train left
Omaha. Neither could say whether the
