tective.

and also to congratulate him upon MS

the Mexican minister Of war, arrived
here on a special train with the invita-
ton, which was practically an order for
Diaz to accompany him to Mexico City.
Gen. Diaz did not decide Immediately
TO comply and no effort was made this
morning to force him to accept the invi-
tation.
Unless Gen. Diaz alters his intentions,
he will not return to the federal capital
Whether Col. Vidaurrazaga bore orders
TO arrest Gen. Diaz was not known this
morning. Diaz did not deliver a formal
negative answer to Huerta's invitation.
Huerta's letter urged Diaz TO come to
the federal capital Immediately for his
own prestige as well as for that of the
government" 1t was written in affec-
tionate terms and bore no resemblance to
an official command.
Col VidaurraZagas instructions appa-
rently indicated the necessity OF his re-
turning TO the federal capital today with
a reply from Diaz.
Near American Consulate.
Gen. Diaz last night still remained in
the hotel here adjoining the American
consulate. where he went Thursday night
after he left his home accompanied by

consul. and a number of friends.

Jose Maria Servin. former chief of staff
Of Gen. Mondragon, while the latter was

a charge Of being concerned In q plot to
create a disturbance in the federal capt.
tai on the occasion of the elections to-
morrow.
This was the first indication that had
come to the government Of possible
trouble.
1t is not expected that any outbreak
will occur, but the troops in the capital
are to be held in readiness for instant
action and other emergency measures
have been taken to preserve order.
The police have been instructed not to
do anything which would conflict with
the right Of citizenship Of the citizens
to cast their votes.
Manuel Madero Under Charges.
Manuel Madero, q cousin Of the late
arrested today at Saltillo. on account of
Ids alleged connection with a recently
discovered plot In that city against the
federal government.
Daniel and Evaristo Madero. also rel
atives of the late president, who had been
previously arrested, are reported to have
reached Tampico. They will be sent by
boat to Vera Cruz, where they are to
be confined in the old prison at San Juan
de Ulua, pending their trial on charges
Of sedition.
Court to Uphold Huerta.
President Huerta Is to be upheld for all
the acts OF his administration. His eleva-
ton to the presidency likewise is to be
shown to have been entirely legal. This
will be done through an opinion that is
being prepared by the judges Of the su-
preme court.
Several of the judges have been engaged
for days searching the records for prece-
the executive. This has engaged their
attention to the total exclusion Of the
affairs Of the courts in their jurisdiction.
It is expected that the opinion will be
rendered by Judge Demetrio Sodi, and
probably concurred in by one or two
other members Of the supreme bench.
The opinion. it is said, will deal chiefly
congress, and. doubtless. will show that
the act was fully justified by the alleged
reasonable conduct Of the deputies.
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the American
charge d'affaires, says he considers the
report circulated In the United States
that the French minister had called a
meeting Of the members Of the diplomatic
crisis as fiction.
There is no truth IN the reports pub
lished In the United States that the en-
tire personal staff of Provisional Presi-

FL. III. Peavey,

By the above telegram Mr.. Peavey
would intimate that this paper is not
publishing facts in connection with
our articles on Municipal affairs and
he wants to call his letter off, giving
that as his only reason. In order to
clear this paper of the assertion that
we have not published the truth it
will become necessary for us to use
the letter sent to us for publication
to prove to our readers that we have
been publishing only facts.
We give these further reasons for
publishing the letter. We had all
prepared for publication an answer to
Mr.. Peavey's communication and
believe that we can only do him JUS
tice by printing the letter itself,
We feel that we pledged ourselves
last week to print that letter and not
to do SO now would raise suspicious
which the telegram could not re-
move.
In any event we shall always be
delighted to give Mr.. Peavey all the
space that he desires to repudiate or
elaborate any statements made in the
letter.
