 nendation For clennency.
 Washington, Dec. 26-The treatment to be accorded General Bernardo Reyes now that he has surrendered, is expected to prove conclusive test of the stability of the Madero govern ment. Under the Mexican military code the punishment prescribed for rebellion is death, but state depart ment officials here are inclined to be- lfeVe such a sentence will not be inn posed. It is believed the military com mission which will try General Reyes will convict him, but the verdict, it is expected, will be accompanied by a recommendation for clemency. Presi- dent Madero himself, is the only agency who can exercise the pardon ing power and his action in tbe ease it is believed, will demonstrate inc de gree of confidence he feels in his own form of government in Mexico.

 Mexico City, Dec. 26.-Death may be the penalty Gen. Bernarcino Reyes will pay for his effort to overthrow President Madero. The least he can expect is ten years Imprisonment. The Mexican law provides these extremes for the crime of melting to rebellion. If ss not generally believed the eX- trerne penalty will be inflicted but n term in the penitentiary for the yen- erable prisoner with his 7f years might be the equivalent.
