Sunday morning, Colonel Diaz,
nephew of the former President Diaz
and General Reyes admittedly the
brains" Of the Mexican revolution
lists, were prisoners, under sentence
TO be shot 10 death for their part in
the Vera Cruz uprising Of last'autumn.
A few hours later, freed from their
cells by cadets of a military school,
the two we're at the head of the dis
affected Federals, knocking at the
gates of the presidents palace.
General Reyes sentence was
executed on the first exchange of fire.
He fell in front Of the palace, pierced
by bullets of the palace guard, loyal

death is the assured result of defeat

Uprising Amazes City.
The uprising came with a sudden
ness that amazed and then. stunned
the city Madero, on horseback at the
head of a few loyalists, met the first
onslaught and drove off the attackers.

was strewn with the bodies of women
and children, slain when curiosity
drew them within the zone of fire.
Madero. at the head of his band
thought that it was all over when
| Reyes was seen to fall. The aged
general was the foremost military
man of the republic. He was tre-
mendously popular with the army
and il was that popularity that won
him the respect not unmiXed with

Reyes to Europe on one occasion ano
it was rumored that his mission
abroad" was practical exile.
But the fall of Reyes did not checl
the rebels for long. Soon they wer'
back again and the ministers per
suaded Madero to quit his horse an'
take refuge in the palace.
Fear Reign of Terror.
Rioting throughout the principa
streets accompanied the military oper
ations at the palace and for a brie
time a reign of terror was feared. TIL
police were powerless, and Diaz i'm
mediately proclaimed martial law.
But there was little attempt to en-
force martial law and the city was il
a chaotic state early today.
A general attack on the Nationa

plan. During the night about 40
