GEN. ZAPATA BOWS TO MADERO
HURRIES TO MEXICO CITY TO
PROTEST HE'S LOYAL.

Denies All the Reports About Himself
Just before Troops We're TO Be SEN
Against Him-Other PrnbIcms Facet
! by MadcrO Less Than Mpatas Case
the Military Governor of the State OF
Nforelos, arrived here this afternoon In
an automobile from Cuernavaca. He
came in response TO Francisco I. Nladero's
summons. Madero. having heard that
Zapata was contemplating disloyalty tc
the new Gov ernment. ordered the Gov
ernor Of Morelos to the capital to make
his attitude clear. Zapata's immediate
obedience had siren gthened Madero's in.
huence.
Tho Governor OF Morelos denied that
he Was not satisfied with Madero's course
and arrangements and asserted that
stories as to his recruiting an army to
make a counter revolution we're abso-
lutely false. The apparently credible
reports from Cuernavaco that Gen "a
pata was enlisting sympathizers the Gen.
eral denounced himself as the work Of
Ill wishers. These reports had 1t that
Zapata intended TO overwhelm the Nader
lists In Niorelos and then march on TO cap
ture this city.
These reports had aroused the Govern
ment to 80 serious state that it was on
the point Of sending troops from Mexico
city against Zapata this afternoon.
These arrangements we're halted. how
ever. by Zapatas arrival.
Tho General. whose protestations OF
loyalty were enthusiastic and apparently
sincere. said that he had never contem-
plated starting a counterrevo olution. He
said that he recognized Madero as the
leader OF the Mexican people and he added
that what Madero said was the law to him.
For an hour Madero and Gen Zapata
discussed matters Of grave importance.
After the conference 1t was stated that
Madero had nothing but the friendliest
feelings for Gen. Zapata and that he
approved the Generals course in Morelos.
The General will return TO hi Govern
ment tomorrow prepared to uphold the
authority of the republic The explana-
ton for the difference that arose between
him and Madero is that tn. newspapers
Of this city printed false stories which
e cited the people"
Gen. Iapata said that it was untrue
that he was seizing haciendas and divid-
ing them among his followers. He did
cause to be repealed. however. the old
law which provided that all poems must
work one month without paw on the
haciendas. and he did take two haciendas
which belonged to ex-Governors nut
which were paid for with State money
The General said that some of his people
were inclined toward confiscation but
that these matters were being arranged
and would he settled satisfactorily no
doubt when the country came into the
blessing OF perfect peace.
Here the Morelos situation is considered
Of supreme Importance II the Maderist
Government il able to straighten out the
difficulties found in reestablishing order
in the State Of Morelos it will be able to
deal with problems anywhere, no matter
how intricate they may be. Morelos
presents an extreme situation.
Reports from iuCatan say that the
residents are greatly frightened over an
expected urpising of the Maya Indians
Since the strong hand Of the Diaz Gov ern-
ment was owed the Mayas have shown
signs of restiveness There are unfnis-
taxable evidences Of a concerted attack
against their ancient enemies the Mexi-
cans. Considerable difficulties are being
experienced also in the State of Puebla
where several Maderist Generals refuse
to recognize Gov. Canete. recently ap-
pointed by Madero.
So that in several important States the
new Government is meeting with diff
culties. but the opinion of the best in
formed is that the Maderists will ba strong
enough to solve all problems
