Mexico City, July Evil o .ors OF
governmental scandals will not be
permitted to reach the nostrils OF
Mexicos public until after the cleo
tion at any rate, if De la Barra ana
Francisco |. Madero can prevent it.
Both the president pro tenn and the
man who expects to be president af-
ter December l are standing by the
sealed Jar of discords, ready to
shoe away any meddlesome person
who would unscrew the cover.
In the name of the government |
thank you, sir for the bravery you
displayed and for the valiant defense
You made at Juarez," said the minis
ter of war when General Naverro re
ported. The incident is typical OF
the desire of the present government
not to encourage rancorous feeling.
Unofficially it was charged that The
Federal soldiers had been supplied
with worthless ammunition. 1t is
probable taat no official investiga-
tion will be made. True or not, 1t Is
a feature of the past and De la Bar
ra and Madero are dealing with
things of the present and planning
for the future.
Not yet has any of the newly or
ganized parties placed in tine field a
candidate for the presidency who
promises to defeat Madero. Almost
all the parties formed so far differ
but little and all agree on the essen
tials advocated by Madero, thus leav-
ing them nothing but a personal is
sue. II remains to be seen what the
conversative part of the population
will do. Even though Limantour
Macedo and others of the group com
monty styled the "Cientificos" have
left the country, there remains many
of the business mems element wbicl
they represented and 1t is not In
probable that in time this part of tae
public will prove danger to the In
eral wing led by Madero. That they
can muster their forces in time U
prove serious menace before Octo-
ber s, the day OF the election, is not
considered likely. BY most residents
of the capital 1t is considered tha
Madero's greatest danger lies within
himself. If the election were today
there is scarcely any doubt that lt
would be chosen almost without op-
position. He is the idol of the peo-
pie now but there are those who
would lay traps for him and his close
friends are warning him against the
danger af being led into any indis-
cretion.
In the state of veracruz there is
small band of ex-rebels who fought
under Gavira, who display signs o.
Indignation whenever one praises
them for the manner in which they
respected property rights during thu
war. One of the duties of these men
was to hold up trains on the Mexican
railway when 1t was thought Genera
Bernardo Reyes was coming to tht
capital ahead Of time. Never dis
they rob a passenger of so much al
watch. Their instructions were K
look for Reyes and to detain th'
train no longer than was necessary
One night train they had stopped
carried as express magnificent sad
die horse. The little group of rebels
looked enviously at the animal ans
suggested to Gavira that since
probably was the property OF SOM
federal officer it would be Legitimate
contraband of war. Gavira laughed
at the idea, insisted that 1T doubtless
was the horse of a private citizel
and ordered them not to molest II
General Reyes now rides that horse
It was his favorite saddler and ha'
been shipped by him from Paris.
President de la Bara is learning
that the chief executive is suppose'
