GEN. DIAz IS
 ALL AT SEA
POLICY AND PLANS OF MEXICAN GOVERNMENT ARE VAGUE
 AND UNCERTAIN
With Army of Rebels Threatening the Capital and lnsurrecto Spirit Within the Government is in
 Bad Way.

Mexico City, May 1S.-The degree to which the government 8 at sea politically was indicated today when news was received of the quarrel between Orozco and Madero al Juarez.
 The second cabinet meeting of the day was being held when the Asso ciated Press dispatch relating the Juarez incident was sent into the meeting. As result the ministers ceased their deliberations until to- morrow. hoping that the dlssension between Madero and his chiefs might grow more serious and put a new complexion on the situation.
 It Is no exaggeration to state that President Diaz and his ministers are drifting about in the open sea with out rudder, compass or chart. Break CTS are on every side and their roar is plainly heard. Their main army has been defeated. North, east, south and west the people are in arms and growing in strength. The long arm of the government so strong six months ago, seems palsied now. Since the defeat of Navarro, so far as can be learned the government has not taken single step to retrieve it's fortunes. With 95 per cent of the people in favor of an enlarged liberty, Diaz does not appear to know where to turn for help.
 With a large part of the capitai's garrison patrolling the outskirts Of the city to ward off an attack by rebels. and the remainder ready to assist the police in quelling a riot in the downtown district, residents ot this place were given their thrills Of the revolution today.
 Acting upon information received at the war department and at the police headquarters that the reyolu tionists were planning an attack upon the suburbs. presumably Tlalpam or San Angel and that tho long talked of students demonstration was to be held this afternoon every precaution- ary measure was immediately taken. Not only were troops detailed to watch the suburban district, but general order was issued by the po- lice department for all places where liquors are sold to close al o'clock. This was sent to grocery stores as we'll as to saloons and pulque shops before it was dicovered that it was to apply only to the later two. Police officers then were sent to notify the grocery men of the mistake and few minutes before o'clock the orig inal order was rescinded.
 But the attack by the rebels did not take place and the students dem onstration was again postponed.
 The rebels are yet encamped in the neighborhood of the mountain Aiusco and the students will not ad- init they are contemplating q demon stration, but the government will not relax it's vigilance and it now appears improbable that there will be any thing to mar the capitals usual Sun day devotions and diversions.
 Under present circumstances the rebel attack could not have succeed ed but the greater danger was from within. It was believed by the author ities that demonstration of the students might precipitate general disturbance participated in by the ruffan element which, coming at the moment of an attack by rebels, even though few in numbers, would pre- sent most serious difficulties.
 Residents of the capital learning of the order to close the stores. crowded them at the siesta period to- secure provisions in quantities large enough to last them for several days. Keepers of few other stores than those to which the order was considered to apply, decided to be on the safe side and did put up their shutters. but most of these were taken down late in the afternoon when the city begany to resume it's ual activity.
 Foreign military attaches, as well as the governments army officers. cannot believe that the small band nf rebels in tho federal district real
