MARTIAL LAW PREVAILS
 NEAR BORDER OF TEXAS

Ell Paso, Feb. 19.-American re- fugees from Chihuahua, today, bring alarming news from the state capital where there still are several hundred Americans. Abraham Gonzales has made himself dictator, it is said; a for has been built on a hill com manding the city and the surrounding country; all loyal troops have been centered there and the martial law prevails.
 Newspapers are not permitted by the governor to print a word relating to the Mexico City situation; people are forbidden to speak of it on the streets or clubs. The Mexican Gen. tral Railroad was repaired, yesterday and a train to Fl Paso was permitted to leave. That was the last train out and none was permitted to leave for Chihuahua, today.
 Anti-American feeling in Chihuahua has been growing more intense since the intervention scare and the bot ting up of Americans in Chihuahua is causing alarm on the border.

MADERO FROM NATIONS
 PRESIDENT TO PRISON

Mexico City, Feb. 19.-When Fran cisco I. Madero was arrested by Gen era1 Blanquet's troops he completed a cycle from prison to presidency and back to prison. It was as a prisoner at San Luis Potosi that he first at tracted the greatest notice of the Mexican people. As president he was failure because he failed to carry out the reforms to which he had pledged himself before election. There is little doubt that he will now be treated with more consideration than was at first believed. } ,4-1s Iasaeta first appeared as a candi- date against Dfaz, March 1, 191O- He conducted an active campaign. While speaking from the balcony of his home in Mexico City, troops broke in to his house, threw aside those who sought to stop them and dragged Madero to the jail. Late at night, he was tagen from the jail, placed aboard a special train bound for San Luis Potosi and lodged in prison.
 On October 8, Madero escaped, fled to Texas and returned to Mexico No vember 29 as a revolutionary leader. The revolution progressed rapidly and May 8. 1911 Juarez was taken. Diaz resigned and Madero was elected president, Oct. 1.
 During 1912 the new president put down the Orozco revolt.
 The first uprising headed by Felix Diaz at Vera Cruz was then crushed but this was the beginning of the end.
 As a result. of the second revolt led by Diaz, Madero is now a prisoner, guarded by the troops he relied upon to keep him in office.

UNCLE SAM WATCHING
 OTHER REBEL CHIEFS

waehfngton, Feb. 19-The "after- math'' of the Mexican situation was the state department a week ago de- clsred contained even more elements Of danger to Americans and their property in the southern republic than the actual struggle for supremacy be tween MaderO and D1az.
 Will the provisional government in 1t restore order in Mexico City? Does removal of Madero mean abandonment of the scores of revolutions which have rent the whole republic? Will for protection of Americans and other foreigners?

 Although the cessation of hostilities in Mexico City relieved this govern ment inmeasurably, it was still ap- parent today, that the provisional government faced many difficulties ed at ones.
 Today, the state department was most concerned in watching Orozco, Salazzr, Gomez and Zapata-the rebel chieftains who are leading indepen- dent revolts in scattered sections of Mexico- The first three are known
 
 administration; Zapata, who has his own following of almost fanatica9 reb- els. has always refused coalition with any other faction
 General Huerta, was formerly com mander of the federal forces in the north and as such fought Gomez, Sala- gar and Zapata.
 What the administration desires most of all is that the new provision al government immediately announce where it stands with regard to aneli- oration of the conditions of the Mexi- can people themselves. It was pointed out that Diaz had no platform of pledges. He merely waged war against Madero because he alleged the president twas traitor to Mexico 9
 If the new government of the re- public will issue promises for reform, the state department will be consid- eraIy relieved If it does not do so at once, some nalcontent is likely to which would be regarded favorab1y by the people and which might incite an- other revolution.
 It was stated that Ambassador Will department to urge upon the provi- sionai government the necessity of is- suing a public manifesto outlining it's attitude toward the people.
 General Huerta, a strict diSciplinar- ian and soldier of no small ability, is the administration hope of a solution of the Mexican situation. He is of the type Of Porfirio Diaz and was a warm friend of the deposed president. Prob ably he wouldn't be the man to in- stitute the reforms in Mexico, the promise of which swept Madero into office But the administration is not particularly concerned whether the Mexican people get free ballot or are given a greater hand in govern u1ent than heretofore It is concerned in the restoration of peace-peace at any cost
 MadeIo's removal leaves the diplo- 7natic situation in Mexico peculiarly involved. The new regime will not be recognized until tt1is governr1ent

 Is Still An Experiment
By Our Staff corres.)

 Senator Whitcomb held that tine de- pertinent was still in an experim ental stage ana he was opposed to 1t be- ing made part of the charter beIiev- ing that the Common Council which created 1t should have the power to abolish it if it found that the experi- Inent was a, failure.

BULGARS SETTLE
 THEIR TROUBLE
 WITH ROUMANIA

Paris, Feb. 19.-The danger of a conflict between Bulgaria and Rou- mania which has been threatening for several days, is believed to have been averted, today, when the two nations agreed to the principle of mediation by the European powers.
 This dispute between the BulgarS and Roumania grew out of the de- mand of Roumania that Bulgaria cede a strip of territory on the Black Sea coast. This was refused and Rou- mania threatened armed occupation of the Bulgarian territory.
 Russia showed the greatest interest in this threatened trouble and all though the government maintained an optimistic view, financial circles were greatly excited. Through joint action of the powers it is expected that Russia and Italy will be desig- mated as mediators in the dispute.

 FUNDS FOR DENTAL CLINIC

 It was argued that not only were the plans too elaborate to be appre- ciated by the people here, who already had failed to enthusiastically endorse it at many preliminary lectures and discussions held for the purpose of

Americans ReheUe British Cousins s
 Of Tennis Trophy
IAssocIATEn PRESS DIsPATcH1

ASSOCIATED PRESS DTSPATCHI WIMBLETON, July 2S.-The world supremacy in lawn tennis rests with the United States. The struggle for the Dwight F. Davis trophy emblematic of international tennis championship ended today on the Wimbledon courts in a victory for United States when Maurice E. Mclaughlin the American singles champion defeated Charles F Dixon. the veteran English player S-6: 6-3; 6-2.
 The rules of the cup contests called for the best three in five matches. The Americans previously having taken match each of the singles and the doubles were winners of the coveted trophy when Dixon went down before Mclaughlin, the score by matches then being, United States 3, Great Britain 1. The Britishers gained their only point when J. s. Par1e the Irish player, won a singles match from Mclaughlin last week.
 The official scores of the tournament however, read, United States 3, Great Britain 2 for after the Mclaughlin Dixon match. R. Norris Williams of Philadelphia played a schedule match with Parke. the Irishman winning after , five sets 6-2, 5-7, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2. The Davis cup now goes back to the land of it's donor after the most in- teresting fight for it's possession since it first left home in 1903. The victory of the Americans today will be all the more memorable because it is the first time in the history of the cup that seven countries, the United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Ger many, France and Belgium competed in. the elimination matches for the honor of challenging the British holders.
