Concessions Multiply.

Mr.. Madero condemned the privileg-
ed concessions and the concessions
have been multiplied enriching in a
few months all of the members of his
family and those who serve them IN
conditionally.
In the armed campaign, the immor-
atty is much less: In Chiapas, the
Chamula indians, who rebened against
the imposition of governor, had
their ears cut
In Santa Maria "a place abandoned
by the rebels) the army of Mr. Madero
chastised with its artillery fire, the
aged, the women and the children, for
the aspirations of their fathers and
husbands.
In the same state Of MoreIos. ac-
cording to plans approved Of by the
president towns were burned and the
inhabitants killed regardless of age,
sex or condition. as a warning 10 the
rebels In other places. the sons and
relatives of revolutionists were shot
to bring terror to the fighters
At San Pedro ranch, in the state Of
Chihuahua, after the defeat of the
soldiers of the government, there were
found among the dead, the owner and
poems OF the ranch, some of them bar
barously mutilated. Two women were
outraged, mutilated and killed.
At the Ancon ranch, as the soldiers
passed the village. they fired, killing
two women, because two revolutionary
scouts had drunk water at the house
of one of the inhabitants.
Outrages in Laguna Region.
In the Laguna district. a near reIa-
tive OF Mr.. Madero. "a brother) order
ed shot and hanged all men suspected
of disloyalty TO the government. The
same thing occurred in MoreIos and in
Guerrero, and hundreds of cadavers
have been suspended to the telegraph
poles and trees The newspapers have
published photographs of these hap
penings.
In Jiminez, state Of chihuahua. the
chief of the government forces, after
publicly declaring that the lives and
interests were guaranteed. ordered ev-
cry night the shooting of from 10 to
y individuals, which was carried out
secretely, on the sole suspicion of their
being sympathizers with the revolu-
tionists.
In the battles of Conetos and Reuano.
the soldiers of the sane chief gathered
burning brush over the wounded, fall
en- on the field, or killed them by
bayoneting them. To attain these eX-
cesses, Mr. MaderO has wasted the
money Of the nation. creating the most
complete system of corruption to be
found in any people.
Before the acts narrated, which are
not even small part Of the atrOci-
ties committed under the present gov
eminent, the war, as 1 have said, is
not yet civil and political war, but
war of humanity and civilization.
Why the Revolution.
Everything in Mr. Madero has been
lies, ambition for gain, and crimes,
and against these lies and crimes, the
present revolution has surged all of
which Mr.. MaderO could have avoided
by having been honest and faithful to
the principles in the name of which
he holds the government OF the re-
public
It appears useless to me to say what
are the causes and the results Of this
revolution, but I desire to insist on
some points:
First: The fundamental cause is the
maladministration of AIr Madero and
his family. through which il has been
impossible to bring about any peace
negotiations, and peace cannot come
to the country except through the
termination of that administration and
completing the revolutionary promises;
that IS, either Mr.. Madero retire or
guarantee in positive and undoubt-
able manner, the correction of the
evils administrative cor
ruption, nepotism, imPosltions, i'm
mense privileges and offences against
the domain and against the freedom
and the life of the immense majority
of the citizens.
Must Have Effective Suffrage.
Second. Establishing effective po-
litical electoral liberty, in order to
distribute the charge of the govern
ment in an adequate manner TO meet
the desires and necessities of every re-
gion, making the central government
what it legitimately should be solely
the power of concentration and vigi-
lance of the general interests. I be
lieve our problems have appeared in
soluble because they conserve evil
tradition that has brought about many
of our civil wars; that is, the cOncen-
tration of all the power in one per-
son and availing of revolutions only
to reach the highest court OF the
land.
In one word, in my conception and
to save the nation from the dangers
of the present political systems, the
elections should be OF a popular cha~-
acter. being in realitE free and es-
