D|Az SENTENCED
But THE COURTS
ARE APPEALED TO
President Madero Is Asked
to Intercede in Behalf Of
the Condemned Man, but
Refuses.

Refuses.
Mexico City. Oct. 3S.-0eneral Fell,
Diaz. leader Of the revolution recent.
inaugurated in Vera Cruz, and thre,
Of his confederates, have been sen
fenced to death by the court MARTA
before which they were tried in tina
city.
At the same time word Of the yer.
dict against Diaz was received cam.
the report that the military court hat
decided to recognize the order of sus.
pension Of sentence upon the revolu.
tionary leader. granted by the su.
preme court pending investigation a,
to whether the trial Of Diaz should bs
by military or civil court.
Popular apprehension regarding the
fate Of Diaz has not been greatly al.
layed however, by this action OF the
court martial. The delay In the re-
ceipt Of news regarding the outcome
Of the military trial Is characteristic
Of all communications between the
capital and Vera. Cruz. The uncer-
tainty a to what is transpiring there
has served to increase the tenseness OF
the situation.
Friends OF Diax still fear the con-
sequence OF the conflict Of authority
that has arisen between judicial and
military courts. II the military court
observes the order of he civil authori-
t1es. the final disposition Of the case
will b long postponed. But 1t would
Be No surprise to thousands here to
receive . message announcing the ex-
seution Of tho rebel general and his
associates.
Appeal 10 Madsro.
In efforts to save their lives, espe-
cially that Of Diaz, prominent women
and high army officers have appealed
20 President Madero for clemency, but
TO all he has given the same negative
answer.
To q group Of women he intimated
that to show clemency would be taken
by the world as an indication Of weak
ness. He cited as an example that
General Navarro, which action the
Of magnanimity
The popular voice Of protest has
grown SO strong against the execu-
ton of Diaz that there has arisen be-
tween the president and senate a
sharp discord, and as individuals the
senators have seriously discussed the
question of impeachment because Of
the administrations defiance of that
body's Interpolation. That the SEN
ate will take this step is not consid-
cred probable for many reasons, one
OF them being the question OF success
sion.
That the quick suppression of the
Diaz revolt has shown strength on the
part OF the government is conceded in
the capital. but that the situation has
been greatly improved is a matter Of
doubt.
Rebels Still Active.
A number OF rebel bands, who were
operating in many parts Of the repub-
lie arc still apparently as active as
before. Added to the list Is we'll
defined new revolt in Yucatan.
General Aguiiar continues his cam
paign in the region about Tehucan,
where. since the affair at Vera Cruz,
his followers have entered a number
Of towns and appropriated horses and
supplies.
Colonel Diaz Ordaz. Cousin and first
lieutenant OF General Felix Diaz, has
not been captured. His whereabouts
are unkunowp. and many believe II not
that he will continue the |
work begun by Diaz. No fear Is felt |
Of an advance on the capital by the |
rebels because II IL we'll known they |
have not sufficient ammunition to con-
duct Z systematic warfare. The per-
sistency Of these rebels. however.
makes practically certain the contin-
uance Of guerilla fighting indefinitely.
With the ending Of the Diaz cam
paign the government Is sending the
where the rebels lately have occupied
and burned the railway stations be-
tween Toluca and Mexico City.
A late dispatch from Vera Cruz to
