Fleoras NegraS, June 3.-Through a
colonade of arches, aboul which was
assembled cheering mass of Mexi-
cans, Francisco I. Maderc, jr., entered
Mexico from the United States today
on his triumphant journey to the an
cient Aztec capital
Re-entering Mexicain territory after
a six hundred mile journey through
the United States, Madero was well
coined by an immense threng at the
international line heretoaay. Crowds
from Eagle Pass and old Ciudad Por-
firio Diaz swarmed the bridges and
with chorus Of 'Fviva Madero," Long
live the defender of liberty and sim
liar cries, hailed the former rebel chief
as a national hero. During the night
every little station contributed its
crowd to the Madero welcome With
Mexican and American flags futtering
in the light of dozens of torches. the
officers of Madero staff on guard at
the entrance to his private car repeat
Iedly were compelled to address the
crowds while their chiec slept.
The party arrived at Eagle Pass,
Tex, at $3.50 o'clock and were driven
in automobiles across the international
bridge. At the middle of the bridge
Madero was received in the embrace
of Senior v. Carranza, the new gov
ernor of Coahuila, who escorted him
INTO Mexico through a gateway of
flowers, the arch of which bore the
inscription, Piedras Negras, signifying
the passing of the name Ciudad Por-
firio Diaz from this town and the dawn
of new era in Mexico. Though the
hour was early, the crowd had as
sembled long before thetrain arrived
and when Madero and his wife, fol-
lowed by the party of thirty, moved
slowly across the bridge in process
sio nof automobiles, cheers rang
through the air, the deafening ap-
plause from the American side being
taken up across the border by an even
more demonstrative crowd. Madero
made brief address of thanks for the
demonstration.
Bouquets Like Rain.
The blare of trumpets, the shouts of
Viva Madero and continuous hand clap
ping from balconies of houses along the
way greeted the former rebel chief and
his party. Boquets rained thick and fast
on the Madero automobile and through
out the procession the victorious rebel
smiling to the throng about him.
Senior Carraunza, the governor of the
state of Coahila; Colonel Garabaldi and
Colonel Hayperez, who accompanied
SenOr Madero also were cheered.
The demonstration began at Eagle Pass
Texas on the arrival of the train early
this morning and reached its climax at
the center of the International bridge
where the party halted by arch from
which was draped the red, white and
green of Mexico. AS Senor Madero ap-
preached the portiere parted and a throng
of Mexicans, ban and scores of banners
and pendants respondent in the morning
sun were revealed to him as cheers rang
through the air. Here the party paused
and listened to speeches by Senor Madero
and Governor Carranza. Senior Madero
spoke of the freedom which characterized
his entrance to Mexico and figuratively
referred to the general freedom which he
said now prevailed in the republic.
