MEXICAN CAPITAL
IS PREPARING FOR
DUAL CELEBRATION
Reyes Due Tomorrow, and
Madero to Arrive in Tri-
umph Wednesday.

MEXICO CITY, June ALI the city
is hurrying preparations for two great
receptions of welcome Monday and
Wednesday-to General Reyes tomor-
row, and to Francisco 1. Madero, jr.,
on Wednesday-but vastly different are
the plans in the two cases.
Reyes will be greeted by that portion
of Mexican citizens who are still loyal
to him, by crowds who have turned
against him, and by heavy police guards
to suppress the slightest evidence Of
rioting. Madero will be received as con-
queror.
General Reyes is due to arrive in
Vera Cruz this afternoon, and at 6 to-
night will go by train to Orizaba, where
he Will spend tonight, and tomorrow he
VIII proceed to the capital, arriving here
at S:l5 O'Clock. The great uncertainty
of political conditions in Mexico at pres

received by the people in general. 1t is
not unlikely that the fervor Of the well
come or the bowls of disapprovaI to
greet him will decide whether or not he
Is to be candidate for the presidency
in the elections in October.

sufficient to cause the police to SUD-
press any hostile actions toward the

Chief Ambrosio F'fgueroa has tele-
graphed Madero offering to send 1,5OO
troops to the state of Sonora to SUD-
