Military in Power.
One by one military men are being
placed in charge OF the state govern
{ ments of Mexico, where there is any
/ doubt of the loyalty or sincerity Of the
/ civilian governors who were serving
/ under Madero. Gen. Geronimo TrevinO
I a popular idol Of the people. has been
| stalled as governor Of NuevO Leon in
place of Gov. Villareal, fatherinlsW OF
the late GustavO Madero; Gen AntO-
Mo Rabago has been installed as gov
ernOr Of Chihuahua, in place Of Abram
I Gonzales, who is in prison; Gen. Trucy
i ALBERT is to be made military governor
Of Durango, and Gen Gil is slated for
- hit
being, as soon as the state legislature
removes governor MaytOrenag or he re-
signs
All these military men are popular
and they have also the faculty Of rul-
ing when placed in a position to rule,
which is the most important point in
the present pacificatiOn measures OF
Mexico. As soon as peace is restored
and general elections are possible, gov
errors viii be elected by the people in
the various states where military men
are now being substituted Where the
governors are processing their alegl-
ance to the new government and there
appears no reason to doubt them they
are being left in office.
Wilson ExOnerates Huerta.
The American ambassador, Henry
Lane Wilson, made the following state
ment last night regarding the deaths OF
MaderO and SuareZ:
In the absence Of other infOrma-
ton, am disposed TO accept the gov
ernment's version Of the matter in
which the expresident and exvice pres
ident lost their lives Certainly, the
violent deaths Of these persons were
without government approval, and II
the deaths were the result of a plot,
il was of a restricted character and IN
known to the higher officers Of the
government.
The Mexican population has &C
cepted this view Of the affair and is not
at ali excited. The present govern
ment seems to be revealing marked acts
=
hesiOns to it, as far as have been
able to ascertain, is general throughout
the entire republic
The government. as constituted, is
friendly to the United States.
For the present American public
opinion should deal with the situation
calmly and accept with great reserve
the lurid and highly cOlOred stories
which are being furnished by some lew
correspondents The great majority OF
the correspondents are endeavOring 20
deal fairly with the situation
Confidence Growing.
Confidence in the new administration
is growing in the capital, conservative
AIeXicans and foreigners alike regard
ing what appears to De probable mil
itary regime as the solution OF the pres
ent difficulty. A reyulslOn Of sentiment
has been caused by the death Of Fran
cisco MaderO and Pine Suarez, but the
great majority or the Mexican people
merely shrug their shoulders. 1t Is
likely thGt there are a few chapters
Of that tragedy still to be written
The bodies have been removed from
the peuitentiary. The government has
denied the transmission Of the bodies
Of MaderO and SuareZ, respectively, to
Coahuila and Yucatan. alleging that it
will afford the people of those states
an excuse for demonstrations
Murder Premeditated.s
One afternoon paper in Mexico City
denies the stories Of the attack on the
Mexican guard. alleging that the af-

prearranged plans, but the Mexican
government appears honest in its en-
deavor to place the facts before the
world by means Of a judicial invesu-
cation. \
This investigation probably will not
be concluded for some days.
Candidates for President.
Already the political world is turning
to the elections. 1t is said that Gen.
Felix Diaz will have as his opponent in
bis candidacy for the presidency, Fran
cisco de Ia Barra. the present minister
Of foreign relations; ROdOlfo Reyes, 3
son of Gen. Bernardo Reyes, who was
killed in the first attack on the palace,
and DR.. Francisco VasQuez Gomez.
Friends have begun campaign in be-
half Of these various candidates.
The holding Of the elections will de-
pend upon the state Of the country, but J
president Huerta insists upon a free
choice Of the people when peace is re-
stored.
Conditions Not Wholly Reassuring.
Reports are not altogether assuring |
from the states OF Coahuila. Nuevo
Leon and San Luis Potosi, where reb- /
els are committing depredations The
Zapatistas in the south are giving ]
trouble and it is reported n one
town in the state Of Pueblo has been
sacked.
This, however. is characterized by the |
government as the work Of a small and
insignificant portion Of the rebel army
in the south, and is due perhaps to ig- (
of developments in the capital.
1t is said that the new revolution at |

brothers is making little Roadway
