London newspapers. All NOfCcu sHdtp
comment on the killing of former
President Madero and Suarez, ridicul-
ing alterations that the two men were
killed by a mob which sought to Sc
cure their freedom. Immediate action
by the United States is urged
The United States government wiz
withhold official recognition of Pro
yisional President Huerta's govern
ment of Mexico until blame for the
killing OF the former president and
yice.president is fixed and the offend
ers punished. This stand by Ameri-i
cans will make it difficult for the.
new regime to borrow money.
Ambassador Wilson telegraphed to-
day that members of the Huerta gov
eminent reiterate their claims that
Madero and Suarez were slain while;
attempting 10 escape and denying that
any conspiracy for their death ex-'
listed. He said both Madero and
Suarez would be given military
funerals.
Wilson Believes Story
Ambassador Wilson accepts Huer-
ta's version of the killing as correct
In a statement today Wilson said:
..'As nearly as can learn at present,
Madero's and SHeraz's deaths were the
result of an attempt to rescue them
while they were being transferred
| from the palace to the penitentiary.
They were ordered there for safety
and until the passions of the hour had
passed.
Huerta and his cabinet were in con-
Terence all last night. 1t was officially
stated early today that reports showed
| that several states threatening rebel
lion are already firing of this stand.
How Madero Was Killed
Provisional President Huerta's ex-
PLANTATION OF the assassination of Ma
Idero and Suarez is generally accepted
lby the rank and file.
Foreign Minister Francisco Leon De
La Barra gavelthe same explanation.
The official explanation is that short
lily after midnight Saturday, the two
prisoners were aoaded into an automo-
1 bile and escorted by one hundred
lrurales, under command of Command
ant Cadeneas and Colonel Pimiento,
started for the penitentiary. No In
lcident occurred until the party neared
the prison.
4 Then, Huerta declares, about fifty
linen threw themselves upon the
iruraIes and exchanged shots. When
1.-THE attacking party had fled Madero
land Suarez were found stretched upon
1.-THE ground dead. 1t was officially re
lported that two of the attacking party
were killed, but no one has been found
'lwho has seen their bodies.
IGovernor May Get His
Governor Gonzales, a strong sup
iporter of the late Francisco 1. Ma
idero, who has been under arrest IN
the palace at Chihuahua City, was
transferred today to the penitentiary
there, according to advices received
here.
Friends of the governor fear this
imoye foreshadows his execution. 1t II
lalse reported that all Madero's sympa
Hthizers in the federal garrison have
lbeen disarmed and imprisoned.
4 All state officials, including the gov
Iernor's private secretary, are nelo
prisoners in the penitentiary.
