At the first call to arms, President
Madero took command of force of
approximately 1000, consisting OF
mcnuted police, Chapultepec cadets
and small detachment of volun-
teers. He appeared at the head of this

Several blocks from the palace, one
of Madero'sP aides attempted to dis
suade the president, and, placing his
hand on the horses Bride half-turn-
cd the animal from the line. Madero
protested vigorously, and continued to
lead the advance until the shooting
began when General Huerta succeed
ed in persuading him to enter build
ing in side street.
This building, by coincidence, was
the same in which General Reyes
took refuge in his campaign for the
presidency eighteen months ago,
against Madero supporters who at

The attack on the national palace
found the government not altogether
unprepared. In the interim between
the release of General Diaz and Gen.
eral Reyes from prison, Gustave Ma
dero, brother of the president, and
Governor Cara of the federal dis
tIict, learned of the plans of the reb-
els. The minister of war and General
Villar made hasty preparations to
guard the palace. Riding at the head
os their troops, General Diaz and
Reyes approached from the east into
the zocolo, the big square in front of
the palace.
General Reyes appeared for the
first time in many months in the uni
form of general, but Diaz wore a
black suit and soft gray hat.
A halt of the mutinous forces was
made VIXEN General Villar, appearing
at the door of his palace, raised his

Quickly the invading forces assum-

soon was clouded by smoke from their
lilies. Immediately from the palace

pCrtant was that which terminated in
Tie formal surrender of the troops
in the artillery barracks.
1t is believed that not less than 200
people were killed in the fighting.
Among the number was General Ber-
naIdo Reyes, strong adherent OF
Pcrfirio Diaz, and eX-secretary of war.
The mutinous troops were led by
students of the military school at
Tialpama, a suburb. They marched
t. the prison to which General Felix
r;az had been transferred for safe
keeping, and released him. General
Bernardo Reyes was also freed from
the Santiago military prison, there
being no resistance in either quarter.
To the army of the mutineers
quickly came portions of the first cav
airy, twenty-fourth cavalry and twent!-
erh infantry. General Manuel Mon
dragon, retired, was in command, but
gave way to Generals Diaz and Reyes.
GeneraI Reyes Instantly Killed.
At $50 o'clock the first encounter
with loyal troops occurred in front
OF the national palace and General
Reyes, whose long record as an army
officer was broken little more than a
year ago by farcical revolt, was in
stantly killed by bullet through the
head. Many fell in this engagement
