President De La Barra is Working Over Time During the Days of Reconstruction In the Re-
 public of Mexico.

Mexico City, June 12.-With the former chief or the revolutionary forces out of the city, the scores of khaki uniformed, have been wander ing the streets wearing their cartridge belts filled with from ten to fifteen rounds Of ammunition have begun dl- yesting themselves of their burden and today for the first time since the triumphant entry of Madero the cap ltal has assumed it's normal aspect. These are the days of reconstruc- ton. President De La Barra is work ing overtime to restore national tran quility and Madero is rendering him his moral support and some practical advice. By the time he returns from his trip into the south it is not im- probable that a great majority of the men he formerly commanded will be on their way back to their little farms or to jobs they have secured.
 Both the government and big cor porations need laborers and those of the ex-rebels who want work will have no trouble in getting it.
 immediately following Madero's in- spection of Figueroa's troops they will be mustered out and from Zacatecas today comes the news that the revo- lntionary army in that city and in the surrounding country is being broken up. Most of the men are accepting the offer of bonus, a horse and pay at a peso a day since they entered the service although a few are avail ing themselves of the opportunity to enter the corps of rura! les.
 Paying the indemnity bills promises to be most exciting work before the present government for some time. Claims of all sorts are beginning to come in. Today the announcement was made that the street car company a Canadian concern, intend to ask damages for the car windows broken and the cars otherwise damaged by mobs. which have appropriated the rolling stock from time to time, once the day General Daz was expected to resign, and did not.
 "A negative story comes from the state of Puebla. There a number of Spanish haciendodos who suffered considerable loss have announced that they will ask for no indemnity. The claims of Americans and other ror- eign CTS will he large but as yet it appears that Chinese claims will be by far the largest.
 Politics and celebrations are now the subjects most discussed in the capital today. The Aquiles Sergean Club organized to further the political interests of Madero, announced by means of circulars that it would take charge of the flower battle this year and the date was fixed for June 25 |. This annual event usually is held in the spring but this year the munich pal authorieies cancelled it on account of the war. Another organization is- sued circular announcing prepara- tions for the observance of the cen tennial anniversary of the execution of Hidalgo.
 The subject of politics is beginning to be less interesting, however, since | 1t is becoming more apparent that the | first election is to be very one sid ed affair, the withdrawal of Reyes and his promise to support Madere
 leave little room for doubt that the former rebel chief is to have practi- cally no opposition.
 Ambitious groups of men continue to give birth to political parties -one was formed today which will be call ed the Democratic Reform Party. Bu' with the exce"tion of the Catholic Party none Lave given much promise
 of dangerous fight and the Catho lie party Is not being taken seriousi, 1 for even Mexicans who are Catholics
 are not inclined to flock to it's stand ard.
 Declaring that the selection of gov ernment officials is a thing the churcl
 cannot dictate, they taboo the party | The possibility that the members o the old group ~opu!arly known as tn
 Cientificos might reenter the field

 partisans. Rosendo Pineda, the leade
