BXICO CITY, MEX, Feb. 26.-
MI The departure from Mexico
@N& City Of Ernesto MaderO, former
minister of finance, was followed i'm
mediately by a hurried counting of the
cash in the treasury. The result
showed a balance S92, 900. This amount
however, does not represent all i'm
mediately available resources Of the
new administration, as there are va
rious deposits in both local and for
eign banks which can be drawn on
by the government
Veracruz Report Disquieting.
Reports involving the sincerity OF
the expressions Of loyalty made to the
new administration by Gen Nelasco,
military commander Of Veracruz, were
sent to provisional president Huerta
today. The charges are expected to
result in an immediate change in the
military command there.
Death Report Accepted.
The representatives Of the foreign
powers have formally accepted the Off
cial version of the death Of expresideut
Francisco Madero and exvice president
Jose Suarez The government tnVesti-
cation continued today.
The situation here has not chang
Numerous reports from districts today
indicate that most OF the rebel leaders
are inclined to cooperate with the new
administration.
The appointment Of prominent army
men as governors of states is taken to
mean that Huerta intends to rule with
a firm hand.
Emilio Madero Reported Killed.
Emilio MaderO, a brother of the late
ex-president N2derO, has been shot
and killed north OF Monterey, accord
ing to reliable Information received
here. With an escort Of IS men, Ma

Emilio Nadero, in conjunction with
his brother Raoul began q counter
revolution at San Pedro, in the state
OF Coahuila a few days ago, in the
expectation Of uniting the rebels about
SaltiIlo with those in the Laredo dis
trict
No Official confirmation was received
today Of the reported death Of Emilio
MaderO.
The Zapatfsta Problem.
The Zapatista problem confronting
the new administration is assuming
much the same form as in the vari-
Gus periods Of unrest. Representa-
tives Of GenOvevo de la o, said to be
the fiercest and most bloodthirsty
Of the Zapatista leaders, have sub
mitted to the department Of the in
terror a basis on which the forces IN
der him viii surrender
The principal concession this rebel
leader demands, is the removal OF
Patricio Leyva, governor Of. the state
Of MOrelos, a Maderista incumbent
and the substitution of man ac-
ceptable to the rebels. He also de-
mands the recognition IN the federal
army of all grades OF chief and self
appointed commanders in command Of
rebel forces.
While it is not impossible that an
effort viii be made to placate the
rebels the matter Of the governor
ship is regarded as impracticable, and
it is doubtful whether other points
can be adjusted readily.
Zapatistas Continue Active.
In the south the Zapatistas continue
burning and raiding and an attack on
a military train between Ozumba and
Mexico City leaves little doubt as to
their attitude toward the new admins
tratiOn. The attack was OF the ordl-
nary ambush type. The train was
stopped by q burned out bridge and the
fighting continued for more than two
hours.
The government has sent forces
southwark toward Cuernavaca along
the line of the Central railway, por-
ton Of which, destroyed by rebels, viii
be rebuilt.
Reports from the state of Morelos
that the work Of destruction during
the last "a hours has been more
complete than is ordinarily under
taken by the rebels.
Many Leaders COnciIiatOry.
To offset the antagOuism OF the "a
patistas, the government believes there
will be no difficulty in concluding ar
engagements for peace with Juan An
drew Almazan and Julio Radillo, the
two most prominent leaders in the
state of Guerrero Nor is there much
doubt felt that arrangements can be
made by the government agents sent
to FL Paso with representatives q
OrozcO's army.

Huerta COnciliatOry But Impressive.
President Huerta insists that his
will not be a government of retalia-
tion OF revenge. but will devote its
energy to the placatiOn OF persons
mildly antagonistic and to stern re-
preston of its active enemies As in
dicating the sincerity Of the president,
most of those who were arrested i'm
nediately after the overthrow Of Ma
dero. have been released, among them
Juan Sanchez AzcOna, the late eX-
presidents secretary. Amnesty proc
iamatfons have been sent broadcast
Rewards TO Generals
The government has not forgotten
to extend rewards. As a general, Hu-
erta long resented the failure Of some
of his companions in arms to receive
promotion and since his assumption of
bower new straps have been bestowed
upon numerous officers Among those
thus honored was Col Diaz Ordaz, Gen.
Felix Diaz's chief lieutenant at Vera
cruz He was removed from the mill
