Saves The lnsurrecto Cause in Mexico
by Proving that It Really

MEANT LAW AND ORDER
Bravely Meeting the Issue Between
Civil and Military Control of Mex
ican Provisional Government, Ma
dero Quells Revolt in Incipiency,
Mastering Situation Completely.
A dispatch from Juarez, Mexico,
says the supreme test between mill
tary and civil authorities was expert
enced Saturday, and Francisco I.
Madero, Jr., is complete master Of
the situation. After day Of thrill
ing incidents, during which the lives
of Madero and his chiefs were in
danger, Gen. orozco, in a moment Of
passion, ordering the arrest CT the
little rebel leader, and demanding
the resignation of the provisional
cabinet, the capital of the provisional
government is quiet.
Gen. Navarro, the defeated federal
commander, whose life was threat
ened by members OF the rebel army,
was spirited away by Francisco l..
Madero, Jr., in person, to the
American side Of the Rio Grande,
and is safe in the home of friends in
Ell Paso.
A plot, quiet, deeply laid, is sus-
pected by the rebel leaders as the
cause of the near-riot In front OF
Madero's headquarters. It was said
to be a scheme of Madero's enemies
to take up the organization Of the
revolution in Mexico. Provisional
President Madero, in statement
issued Saturday, charges that Gen.
Orozco's actions were melted "by
persons interested in bringing about
disunion among us. 49,.
Early Saturday, Gen. Orozco called
on Provisional President Madero,
and the two talked alone for some
time. Only their views were an
nounced in part. A throng of sold
iers had gathered outside the build
ing and Senior Madero appealed to
them.
Six soldiers had been drawn and
rifles were levelled, but Madero stood
before the crowd and, sIapping his
breast, shouted: "Shoot me! Shoot
me! if you dare!" Orozco was unde-
cided. His men would not fire. Ma
dero talked in his reassuring way,
and the affection in which he Is held
came pppermost. 1t ended in a
mighty shout of "Viva Madero.
Many stories concerning the clash
are being circulated: Col. Villa was
said to have insisted on Gen: Ma
varro's life, while Gen. Orozco also
was said to have been displeased
with the naming Of civilian as
minister of war. All is now har-
mony, Senor Madero having i'm
pressed upon Gen. Orozco that the
choosing Of a cabinet and the man
agement of a government is quite
outside the function of the military.
Apprehension for the safety OF
Gen. Navarro stirred the sympathy of
Gen. Madero after the incident, and
he determined at the risk of his OWE
life to save the brave federal COM
mander. He was wllisked away in
an automobile to where Gen. Navarro
has been staying since he was cap
tured and, after brief explana-
ton, conveyed Gen. Navarro to the
river front, where the latter waded
the river and was soon safe on the
Ameican side. The insurrectos were
Ignorant of this move.
Navarro gave his word of honor
that he would return to Mexican soil
when required to do so by Madero. If
the feeling against Navarro among
the lQSurTeClOS lS UeCduoS VI diAc6SN
acts of cruelty, his life will be con-
tinually in danger. Madero and his
supporters have saved Navarro from
any harm.
Senor Madero gave out this ex'
planation of the trouble:
This trouble has been caused by
persons who desire to see trouble
among us.
I'VE have sufficient provisions and
want to lay the blame for this dis
sension where it belongs. We have
more than enough troops and they
are we'll provisioned.
II was told that Gen. Orozco ola
not like the officers whom had
named as cabinet officials, but | told
him that I could show him where 1t
wa for the benefit Of the country
and the general was satisfied. we
held a long conference, at which all
things ended satisfactorily
