CHEERING CROWDS
GREET MADERO IN
MEXICAN CAPITAL
Leader Of Revolt Has Triumpha
Entry Into the City From
Which Diaz Fled.

Mason ely, June s.-Amid the wild
est enthusiasm, Francisco l. Madero jr.
today entered the seat of the govern
ment which he overturned.
The demonstration was the creates
which the capital has known in a gen,
Grafton. Business was practically sus
pended and the streets through which
the revolutionary leader made his tri.
umphal way were gay with flags, bunt.
ing and flowers, while from the throats
Of tens of thousands came roars OF
acclaim.
The noisy welcome began when the
great crowd at the railway station first
caught sight OF the bearded face ano
Stocky figure as Madero emerged from
his private car n stopped quickly
INTO a waiting carriage. Shouts OF
viva Madero" swelled into a great
chorus as the cry was taken up along
the streets leading from the railroad
station throughout the city.

pool streets. Throngs that lined the
way fell in behind as the carriage
passed, until a great, noisy, but
friendly procession had formed. Scores

in parade uniform moved on to the
quick step march of the military bands
1t was a spectacle stirring n I'M
usual, but amid the popular rejoicing
could be detected an undercurrent Of
resentment on the part of unreconciled
aristocracy, hat looked on silent
though not unmoved.
Rumors of Murder Plot.
Rumors of plots against the life of
the hero Of the day were rife, as were
reports that secret arrests had been
made. Antonio Villacencia, former
chief of police, was taken into custody
last night. Immunity as members OF
the house of deputies is said to have
stayed the arm of the law against 9TH
ers alleged to have been implicated in
a plot the discovery of which was fol-
lowed by the arrest of w. L. Dunn, an
American, at Monterey, and Daniel De
Villiers, q former police head. These
two men are accused OF being at the
head of the plotters.
Madero'S special train was preceded
to the capital by a score of other
trains, which went up the line yester-
day to participate in the demonstra-
tons en- route and escort the rebel gen.
eral to the city. The occupants of
these trains filled the platforms of the
stations where stops were made, but
the general public remained outside,
held in restraint by a Gordon of po-
lice.
On alighting from his car here Ma
dero was greeted by Sonora Aguiles
Serbian, one OF the heroines OF the re-
bellion, who handed him a laurel
wreath. Sonora Serbian is the widow
of one of the first revolutionary con
spirators to lose his life. His home in
Puebla, in preparation for the revolt,
was used as a store house for rifles and
ammunition. The secret was discov-
cred by the government Inc Serbian
was killed in defending his home. When
the husband fell, his wife and her two
sisters seized rifles and continued the
resistance until they We're overpowered.
Comes to Greet the Hero.
The women were thrown into Jail,
where they languished for months.
With the triumph of the Madero party.
y Serbian society was formed here and
Sonora Serbian was brought to the cap
ital TO greet the ma for whose cause
she and her family had suffered so
much. The little woman rendered the
wreath without a word. What Madero
replied could not be heard above the
din that greeted the incident.
A brief address of welcome was made
by DR.. Cuthberto Hidalgo, after which
a parade was formed. The various

rendezvous since daybreak md each
had been assigned a position in the line
into which it fell at the proper mo-
ment. Banners bearing Madero's like
ness were everywhere mingled with the
national colors and slogans of the rev.

Looming larger than all others were
banners bearing the single word or

the ~populace to restrain the more tur-
bulent impulss. Shop keepers as a rule
were inclined to be on the safe side
and generally the windows of their
places were shattered. From the rail-
way station the procession moved into

through the Avenida De Los Hombres
nlustras and in the park at the ma
tional palace and thence back through
the Avenida De San Francisco, the
Avenida Juarez, the Pazo De La Re-
forma and the Gales De Berlin to the
Madero home.
Here in the two-story brick house
owned by Madero, the elder, and dis
tinguished from it's neighbors by a
tower, the conqueror OF Porforio Diaz
