fatiOn of the provisional cabinet,

~ mobs of insurrectos, was spir-
Led away by Francisco I. Madero,
~ himself to the American side of
lie Rio Grande and is safely en-
&Onced in the home of friends in
Is Paso.
Plot Is Suspected.
A plot, quiet, deeply laid, is sus-
1ected by the rebel leaders as the
<ause of the near-riot in front of
he Madero headquarters yesterday
md some Of the Maderos freely
venture the opinion that it was a
mister scheme on the part of those
fho are trying to break up the or
1anization of the revolution to fos-
{er the opinion throughout Mexico
bat the movement is one Of anar-
<hy.
n Early yesterday General Orozco
talled on Provisional President Ma
Zero and the two men talked alone
IOr some time. Suddenly their
Fnices were raised and the other
rebel political chiefs rushed into
Ihe room, only to find themselves
held back by some of Orozco's men.
Faces Leveled Guns.
A throng of angry soldiers had
gathered outside the building and
senor Madero determined to appeal
10 them. Six-shooters had been
drawn and rifles were leveled, but
Senior Madero stood bravely before
lhe mob and, slapping his breast,
shouted: shoot me, shoot me if
you dare"
General Orozco was at his side.
His men ostensibly had been sum-
rnoned to take part in the coup
d'etat, but as Madero stepped forth
among them and talked in his calm,
way, the affection which
has been ripening among his men
since the revolution began crystal
lied in a mighty shout, viva Ma
dero."
There are all sorts OF stories in
regard to the clash, but at tbs bot
tom it was apparent that dissenslon
among the military chiefs was the
basic cause of the disturbance.
Colonel Villa was said to have IN
sisted on General Navarro's life,
while General OrCzco also was SAID
to have been displeased with the
naming of a civilian as minister OF
war.
All Harmony Again.
Last night all was harmony. SEN
Or Madero has impressed upon
a cabinet and the management OF
a government is quite outside the
of military.
Apprehension for the safety OF
General Navarro stirred the sympa-
Thy of General Madero after the in
cident at the municipal building
and he is determined, at tho risk OF
his own life, to save the brave COM
He was whisked away IN
an automobile to where General
Navarro has been staying since he
was captured, and after brief ex-
conveyed General Navar-
70 to the river front, where the lat
ter waded the river and soon was
safe On the American territory.
Uenerai navarro gave HIS Woiu Va
honor that he would return to Mex
lean soil when required to do so by
May Be Court-Martial.
II the feeling against Navarro
among the insurrectos because OF
alleged acts of cruelty in previous
battles become stronger it may
be that a court-martial will be or
dered. Some of the rebels want q
court-martial, but the disposition
of Senior Madero and his supporters
is to save Navarro from any harm
Senior Madero gave out the fol-
lowing explanation Of the exciting
events:
"Orozco, excited by the victory
probably from the adulatlon ant
bad advice of persons interested II
causing disunion among us. com
mltted a fault which fortunatel,
had no consequences.
