Madero Prematurely Elated.
MEXICO CITY. september 16-Early
reports reaching Mexico City Of the cap
ture of the Orozcos appeared to arouse
little or no enthusiasm. Under the sup
position that it was Gen. Orozco who was
taken into custody, President Madero ex-
pressed elation, saying that with the head
gone it would be comparatively simple to
crush the life out OF the body of the
serpent of rebellion.
This opinion was not shared in all gov
eminent quarters. many congressman ex-
pressing the belief that Orozco's capture
would have no effect on the rebels in the
south, and possibly not in the north.

President Madero at IL o'clock last
night. standing at an open window of
the national palace before thousands
below. rang the historic liberty bell
with which Hidalgo called the people
to revolt. September 10. 1910. and pro-
nounced the historic words uttered by
Hidalgo: Viva Independence, Viva
Libertad, Viva Mexico"
The spectacular part OF the celebration
of national independence will come today,
when military parade several miles
in length will be the principal feature.

tons yesterday, such as Friday and
Saturday, when the presidents name was
the republic. acknowledgements were

birthday for generation has been cele-
brated jointly with that Of independence.

Concern Felt at Juarez.
