 Mexico City, June 12.-with the former chief of the revolutionary forces out of the city, the scores of khaki-clad men who have been wandering about the streets wearing their cartridge belts filled with from ten to fifteen rounds of am- intuition have been divesting themselves of their burden and today for the first time since the triumphant entry of Ma dero the capital has assumed It's normal aspect.
 These are the days of reconstruction. President De La Barra Is working over time to restore national tranquility, and Madero is rendering him his moral sup port and some practical advice. By the time he returns from his trip into the south 1t is not improbable that a. great majority of the men he formerly com manded will be on their way back to their little farms or to jobs they have securec. Both the government and big corpora tions need laborers and those of the ex- rebelsswho want work will have no trou- |bfe in getting it. Immediately following Maderos inspection of Figueroa's troops, they will be mustered out, and from Zacatecas today comes the news that the revolutionary 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 the rate of peso day since they entered the service although few are ayaiing them selves of the opportunity to enter the corps of rurales.
 Paying the indemnity bills promises to l be the most exacting work before the | present government for some time Claims | of all sorts are beginning to come in. To- day the announcement was made that the street car company, Canadian concern, intends to ask damages for the car win Gows broken and the cars otherwise dam aged by mobs, which has appropriated the rolling stock from time to time, once, the day on which General Diaz was ex- pected to resign and did not.
 1 A negative story comes from the state of Pueba. There number Of Spanish haeiendados who suffered considerable loss, have announced that they will ask | for no indemnity The claims of Amer | jeans and other foreigners will be large, but il appears that the Chinese claims will be by far the largest.
 Prepare Flower Battle | Politics and celebrations were subjects most discussed in the capital today. The Aguiles clh 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 municipal au- | H1n I1AI
 war. Another organization issued a cir- cular announcing preparations for the ob- servance of the centennial anniversary | Of the execution of Hdalgo.
 | The subject of politics is beginning to | be less interesting however, since Ii Is becoming more and more apparent that the first election is to be very one sided affair. The withdrawal of Reyes and his promise to support Madero leaves no room for doubt that the former rebel chief is to have practically no op- position.
 | Ambitious groups of men continue to | give birth to political parties-one was formed today which will be called the democratic reform party, but with the exception of the catholic party none | have given much promise of a dangerous fight, and the catholic party is not be- | ing taken seriously for even Mexicans | who are Catholics are not inclined to | flock to it's standard. Declaring that the selection of government officials Is a l thing the church cannot dictate, they ] taboo the party
 The possibility that members of the | old group, popularly known as the cientficos. might re-enter the field is not considered menacing by Madero partisans. Rosendo Pineda. the leader of the group, who is now in New York secured the publication today of Fl I'm parcial of a letter in which he denies his connection with any plot to assas- sinate Madero.

Recio is one of the men who, as part of plan to capture those in volved In an attempt to seize the bar racks at Taraubaya, became involved in the plot. The minister of war was in- tensely active in this matter Ambas- sador Henry Lane Wilson has received word that the Americans confined in Jail day. t
