AGuAS CALlENTES. Mexico June
6.-That an attempt on the life Of
Francisco l. Madero. Jr, was frus-
trated here last night is the belief to-
day of members OF the party accom-
panying the insurgent chieftain 10
Mexico City
A banquet In Madero's honor had
been planned az, the Casino hotel
When Madero arrived he was escorted
to the hall by a small committee OF
citizens. AS soon as he stepped into
his room, the lights were eXtinguished
suddenly leaving the party in dark
ness.
A moment later another committee
hurried into the darkened room with
Mrs. Madero, and then a rapidly grow
ing crowd suddenly surrounded the
pair.
Suspecting a plot. Colonel Eduardo
Hay seized Madero and his wife and
hurried them into a side street. order
ing horsemen to follow them. Hay put
the couple into the nearest automobile
and rushed through the narrow streets
two miles TO the Madero special train.
Madero and his wife walked between
cars, over the tracks and through mud
TO reach their private car where the
usual body guard was tripled. The
couple abandoned the idea of attending
the banquet and dined privately in
their car.
Meanwhile thousands surged
through the streets of the city seeking
the insurgent chief, and shouting
viva MaderO" but were disappointed
as the leaders special train left here
two hours later without Madero again
venturing into the streets. During
those two hours, General Garibaldi
and a private detective guard sur
rounded MaderO's car
Scented a Conspiracy.
The Maderoists believe that the pc
culiar actions of the committees at the
Casino Hotel indicated another Cienti-
ficO conspiracy, similar to the one
whereby II was planned to kill Madero
during the farewell ball at Juarez last
Thursday night
Despite last nights ahair. Madero
is confident that Mexico City has a
warm welcome for MIN. When he en-
ters the capitol tomorrow morning at
10 a m, his party will include his
mother, his wife, the wives of two Of
his brothers and three Of his little
nieces and nephews.
The welcome that has greeted Ma
derO at all stages of his journey south
ward has been so hearty as TO defy de-
scription. Everywhere the populace is
showing great JOY over the ending Of
the revolution and the oyerthrowing Of
Diaz So great, indeed, is Madero's
popularity that eighteen Of the twenty
seven Diaz governors in the republic
have been supplanted by Maderoists
since Friday
MaderO was informed today that the
Mexican Government would pay all the
expenses Of his special train.

ing last night, decided on motion Of
Mr.. DuRoss, of the Sixth ward. i'm the
matter of the S395.00O bond issue to
confer with City Solicitor Brady and
comply with the requirements Of the
bond purchasers.
The conference was not held today
although Otho Nowland. president of
the Equitable Guarantee and Trust
Company, the local representatives of
Kountze Brothers. the purchasers of
the bonds, informed Mr Brady that
he, Mr.. Nowland, had a letter from
Hawkins. Delaheld and Longfellow.
attorneys for Kountze Brothers. bear
ing on the subject Mr.. Nowland
would not discuss this phase Of the
situation until he had seen Mr.. Brady
and at noon was still waiting for the
City Solicitor to call upon him.
Il was learned today that President
William p. Bancroft, OF the Park
Commission, had asked Treasurer
Ross if he would accept a check from
the Equitable Guarantee and Trust
Company for that department and de-
posit It to the credit of the Mayor
and Council, special fund park pur-
poses, a transaction entirely separate
from the bond issue for the Street
and Sewer Department, and Mr.. Ross
said he would the ordinance provid-
ing for the loan, setting forth that
the money should be deposited in this
manner.

ever. he latter refused to accede to
the request standing by his original
decision to pay the bond money in
its entirety, over to the Mayor and
Council Of Wilmington as instructed
by the banks attorneys.

siderable length by the members Of

so far as to say that he never placed
Mr.. Ross above the plane Of a cheap
politician, and declared that the lat
ter had taken his present stand mere.
ly for political purposes.
Mr. Kane of the Fourth ward, said
that Mr.. Ross had been advised that
it was his duty to turn over the bonds
to the bank people, but he refused 10
pay any attention TO this advice.
Mr.. Dempsey of the First ward,
said he could not understand where
Mr. Ross got the idea that he could
collect 100000 of the city's money
unless he was backed up by the city

natural sense, If not the political
sense, to know that he could not, do
such a thing
