COST OF REVOLUTION.
MADERO SPENT $1,000 10
OVERTHROW DIAZ.
Some of the Inside History of the Re-
Handed Methods Adopted by Diaz
To Defeat MadcrO and Revolution
iZc Party.

| Houston, Texas. June 9.--The cost
of the overthrow of the Diaz regime
in Mexico was less than 81 100000.
| Excepting the loss of life, the pillage
and the financial losses to individuals
! through the operations of war but
| 100000 was needed to force Diaz
from the throne he had created and
return Mexico to the hands of the
people for government, as the con-
stitution of the Republic provides.
This war fund was put up entirely
by the Madero family. Francisco i.
Madero, Jr.. the rebel leader invested
about $4O0. 900; Gustavo Madero about
100000 and Francisco /. Madero,
ST.. about 100000. The money was
invested in arms and ammunition.
The soldiers served without pay, love
OF freedom and patriotism for the
constitution and their rights drawing
thousands to the cause of the Ma
deroists.
Since the crushing of the self-con-
stituted monarchy in Mexico. an in
teresting bit OF history regarding an
intrigue by the government to make
impossible the financing of the revo-
luton, has come out. 1t appears
that WHEN Madero pronounced" the
revolution the government attempted
to crush the bank of Neuvo Leon, in
which the Madero family was heavily
interested. The paid-up capital Of
bank was $2.000,00O and ii had $2,-
100000 reserve. largely in guayule
rubber plants. 1t was also heavily in
terested i'm varied Mexican industries.
AT the outbreak Of the revolution
the bank had s3.000.O0O in outstand-
ing bills "Senor Madero declares"
creditors were urged by the govern
ment to insist upon liquidation within
so days and that an "intervento" was
appointed to take charge Of the col
lateral The bank withdrew from
the rubber market and realized upon
it's own plants TO the extent Of So
100000. 1t was at this lime that
Jose !. Limantour, minister Of fin
ance, returned from Europe and told
President Diaz that the country was
in the hands of the rebels.

Of Mexico, This forced tho Central
hank to aid the Bank Of Nuevo Leon
and the latter was able to liquidate its
100000 claims. 1t was at this time
that Limantour returned 10 find the
finances of the country in a snarI.
/ The minister Of finance realized
the governments cause was hopeless
and undertook the task OF winning
Diaz to a compromise with the Ma
, deros. 1t was a long fight and one
that exhausted both Diaz and his ad-
visers. Both now are going abroad
to rest.

about two weeks. During his stay in

were met by white man who. after
they had passed, went on and secured

This added to the belief that Browder

the whipping and he had started for

! The parties supposed 70 be implicat-
Cd in the plot against Browder are
seven in number. but their names
could not be secured this morning. 1t
was stated that this same account had

1t was learned that Browder is a
