The incipient rebellion arose amorS

was made on Madero for food and money

Madero was declared under arrest.
Finally the trouble was settled by
Madero promising that the immediate
needs Of the soldiers would be attended
to. and the angry insurgents who had
gathered in bands about his hoadquar-
tiers dispersed.
Trouble has been brewing ever since II
became known that a number OF federal
officers captured at Juarez had violated
their paroles and crossed 10 the Ameri-

Without money. and practically with

which Madero had followed up the hard
fought victory OF Juarez by appointing
Cabinet officers with whom they as
serted he had conferred over state mat
tiers in preference to his army officers.
and his apparent neglect of the pressing
needs of his followers.
Early this morning Orozco gathered
about one hundred of his followers, all

this neglect had been borne too long.

placed Madero under arrest

general and the provisional President.
Madero came TO the doorway and APP

the crisis. explaining as he Lad done

needs would be attended TO within
short time. His appeal, however fell on
deaf ears.

ranks Of the men. and Madero. dlsheart-

Orozco Further discussion followed.
Orozco finally demanded the immediate
resignation Of the provisional cabinet
SAYING, scornfully, that the members
we're incompetent and that Madero
should pay more attention 10 the needs
of his soldiers.
To this Madero assented. and finally
the Provisional President and his general
embraced in true Latin fashion, and the
incipient rebellion came 10 an end, with
