Felix Diaz, leader of the Vera Cruz

tured the capital.
Francisco Madero, president of the
republic, and members of his cabinet
took refuge in the national palace.
They were besieged, but with some
loyal troops at their back succeeded
in defending the palace. Madero's
family has taken refuge in the Japa-
nese legation. The president made a
desperate fight against enormous odds
for the retention Of his power.
General Diaz, who is the nephew
of the deposed President Porfirio
Diaz, is now at the. head of major
ity of the capital troops, including
most of the artillery, and is in pos
session of the arsenal in the city and
the powder works nearby.
The day was marked by four sep
arate engagements. The most san
culinary of them took place in front
of the national palace. But the most
important was that which terminated
in the formal surrender Of the troops
in the artillery barracks.
It is believed that not fewer than
200 persons were killed. Among them
was Gen. Bernardo Reyes, a strong
adherent of Diaz and ex-secretary of.

The mutinous troops awere led by
students of the military school at
Tlalpam, a suburb. They marched

President Madero and his ministers
left the national palace about 10
o'clock at night. 1t is believed they
have gone to Chapultepec.
To the army of the mutineers quick
ly came portions of the First cavalry,
Twenty-fourth cavalry and Twentieth
infantry. General Manual Mondragon,
retired, was in command, but gave
way to Generals Diaz and Reyes.
At $3.50 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
year ago by farcical revolt, was
killed instantly by "a bullet through
the head.
Many fell in this engagement, and
among the scores of bodies which
strewed the streets were those OF
minor officers, women and boys Of
the lower classes and spectators who
gathered at the first shot.
General Lauro Villar, post com.
mander of the capital who remained
loyal was among those slightly
wounded. The. minister of war. Gen.

injury.

addition to this, in recent years, the
charges OF fraud against the Indians
