MADERO OPTIMISTIC;
REBELS ALWAYS LOSE
Mexican President Says His
Troops Are Invariably Success
full Against Insurrectionists.
NO CABINET CHANGES YET
These Will Be Made, However, if
Administration Is Convinced
1t Will Be Strength
ened Thereby.

From Special Correspondent Of The TribuneI
Mexico City. March S.-When Presi.
dent Madero was seen at the conclusion
of the Cabinet meeting held this after
noon he told the Tribune, correspondent
that all reports received in the last
twenty -four hours were decidedly en-
couraging. and that nothing had oc-
Cured in any part of the republic TO in
dicate that the revolutionary spirit was
gaining ground. He pointed out that
whenever the bandits and rebels frontei
the federal troops the former were al
ways defeated.
The reported changes in the Cabinet
are not imminent. It may be said posi-
lively that If the President and his ad-
visers are able to convince themselves
that the retirement Of some ministers
and the appointment of others represent
ing the various political groups would
strengthen the position of the govern
ment the changes will in all probability
be made.
The designations Of all the ministers
have been placed at the disposal Of the
the exigences of the situation should
dictate
Evidences are multiplying daily thar
the substantial elements in the republic,
including bankers, merchants and every
one whose material concerns are jeop-
ardized by the lawlessness of the revo-
lutionary attempts, now realize the SER
BUSINESS OF the situation and are be-
stirring themselves to use their influences
in behalf of the government.
At the behest Of the banks in the capi-
tai a special meeting Of the Mexico City
Chamber of Commerce was held to-day
for the purpose of organizing banks and
business men in every state to put dowr
disorder, protect property and support
the government The rami1cations OF
the plans were carefully worked out, ana
tho movement has the cooperation OF
virtually every fna(Aer, banker and
merchant in the capital, whose connec-
tions in the states assure assistance lrcm
every part Of Mexico.
Financial as we'll as moral support is
IN he afforded TO Madero in his EFFORTS
to DrONide S0OG duIIllHlStIdtloli anu oHp
nress anarchy. 1t is also part or the
man of the political groups to sink their
differences and rally around Madero. II
seems well assured that the Church
party. whichIis capable Of welding enor-
nous influence through the clergy, has
begun to exert itself on the side OF law
and order.
The President continues To receive Of
fers of volunteers for local service to
prevent bandits overrunning the country
altogether. The situation is deemed
much more encouraging for the govern
ment than many persons regarded II
week ago. .,,.
The exodus of Americans, principatiy
women and children, continues, although
many who planned TO leave and who
were deferred by lack of accommods-
tions are getting over the apprehension
caused by tie Washington proclamation
and deciding To remain here.
No one excepting extreme alarmlsts
take stock of the boasts of the Nasqulstas
To force Madero out by April or
lOroZco's threat to move on this city.
General Trevino's loyalty 10 the gov.
ernment is not doubted.
