preme test, the clash between the mill
tary and political authorities was ex
perienced by the provisional government
OF Mexico today, and Provisional Presi
dent Francisco I. Madero, jr.. tonight /:
complete master OF the situation.
After a day OF thrilling incidents
during which the lives of Madero and hi:
chiefs were in danger, Gen. Orozco, in {
moment Of passion, ordering the arres
OF the little rebel leader and demandfns
the resignation Of the provisional cab
met, the capital of the provisional gov.
ernment is quiet.
Gen. Navarro, the defeated federal com.

today by angry mobS of insurrectos, was
spirited away by Francisco l. Madero
Jr., in person to the American side of the
Rio Grande and tonight is safely en-
sconsed in the home of friends In El
Paso.
Deep-Laid Plot Suspected.
A plot quiet. deeply laid, is suspected
by the rebel leaders as the cause of the
near riot In front of the Madero head
quarters today, and some of the Ma
deros assert that it was sinister scheme
on the part of those who are trying to
break UP the organization Of the revolu-
tion to foster the opinion throughout
Mexico that the movement Is one Of an
archy
Provisional President Madero. in a
statement issued tonight, charged that
Gen. Orozco's actions were melted "by
persons interested In bringing about dis
union among Us.
Early today Gen, orozco called on
two talked alone for some time Sudden
ly their voices were raised and the other
rebel political chiefs rushed into the room
only to hnd themselves held back by
some OF ,Oroxco's men. A throng OF SOL
diers had gathered outside the building,
and Senior Madero determined to appeal to
them.
Madero Dares Crowd to Shoot.
Dix shooters had been drawn and rifles
were leveled, but Senior Madero stood be-
fore the crowd and slapping his breast
shouted: Shoot me; shoot me IL you
dare"
Gen. Orozco was at his side. His men
ostensfbly had been summoned to take
Part In the coup d'etat but as Madero
stepped forth among them and talked In
his reassuring way. the affection which
mas been ripened among his men since
the revoIution began crystallized in a
mighty shout 'Vive Madero."
There are all sorts OF stories in regard
to the clash today, but, at bottom, it was
apparent that dissension among the MILL
tary chiefs was the cause of the disturb
ance. Col Villa was said to have In.
sisted on Gen. Navarro's life, while Gen.
Orozco also was said to have been dis
pleased with the naming Of a civilian as
minister Of war. Tonight all is har-
mony. Senior Madero has impressed upop
hQ hn ahn Sfrcr Of II
met and the management OF a govern
nent is quite outside the function OF the
military.
Gen. Navarro Saved.
Apprehension for the safety of Gen.
Navarro stirred the sympathy Of Gen.
Madero after the incident at the munich
pal building. and he determined at the
risk Of his own life to save the brave fed
eral commander. He was whisked away
in an automobile to where Gen. Navarro
has been staying since he was captured,
and after brief explanation conveyed
Gen. Navarro to the river front, where
the latter waded the river and soon was
safe on the American territory. Amer

and his supporters is to save Navarro
from any harm.
