Still Dissatisfed.


Francisco I. Madero. the deposed pres
ident Of Mexico, was still In the bal
ance this morning. Preparations had
been made at midnight for his depart
ure with the members Of his family In
to exile but these were suddenly halted
by orders from General. Huerta.
Sonora Madero and the ex-presi-
dents two sisters, and his aged father
and the members of the family of the
vice president, waited at the station
ready for departure to Vera Cruz and
thence to Europe. But at the hour
which had been fixed for departure
congress was still in session discussing
the situation.
Sonora Madero and the rest Of her
party of exiles had waited impatiently
for more than two hours when they
were informed by Ex-F Foreign Minister
Lasouerian that the ex-presddent
would be prevented from joining them
on their journey. Sonora Madero. fear
ing the intentions of congress and
General Huetra in regard to her hus-
band. wept profuso.y. She and her
party then left the railroad station and
went back to the city.
Public 10 Pessimistio.
Only the most optimistic residents OF
the capital pretend to believe that the
substitution of General Huerta for
Francisco Madero will result in the re-
storation of peace thruout the repub-
lie.
It remains to be seen how many OF
the rebel leaders will accept the invi-
tation extended them by Huerta to join
in an, effort to restore normal cOndi-
tions.
It appears to be taken for granted
that Emilio Zapata. "the irreconsilabla
rebel" will continue at the head OF
his powerful force in the south, while
DR.. vasquez Gomez by the issuance OF
his proclamation claiming the presi-
dency. has rendered conditions In the
north problematical.
orozeo Dissatisfied.
Those familiar with the propoganda
of the rebels in the north expressed
the belief that Pasquat Orozco, lnex
Salazsr. and other leaders may not be
satisfied with the selection of only one
of their comrades, LIE Ia Fuenta, as q
cabinet minister.
On the other hand it is well known
that the men who have been operating
in the north are tired of fighting ana
have repeatedly said that their main
object in doing so was the removal OF
Francisco Madero from power
The new administration will not
temporize with any of the rebels. 1t
declares that all that is possible will be
done to effect reconciliation but In
the event Of failure in this direction 1t
PROPOSES to wage vigorous warfare.
Already federal troops have been sent
to Cuernavaca to prevent the occupa-
ton of that city by Zapata-
Governors Declare Allegiance.
The new government has been pro-
claimed officially in every state of the
republic. Practically all the governors
and the military commanders have
telegraphed General Huerta declaring
their allegiance to him.
After the manner Of newly Installed
governments that of Huerta began
with the liberation of political prison
ors. Proclamation Of general amnesty
is expected at any moment. Three po-
lttical prisoners have been liberated at
the capital. while at Vera Cruz are to
be brought those imprisoned in the
palace Of San Juan de Ulua.
Only three of those arrested by Cen
erals Banquet and Huerta at the mo-
ment of the overthrow of Madero re-
main in custody. These are Francisco
Madero himself; Jose Pino Suarez, the
ex-yice president, and Gonzales Cara,
who was governor Of the federal dis
trict and who incurred widespread en-
nifty owing to his affiliations with La
Porra, the political group directed by
Gustavo Madero.
Students Proclaimed Heroes.
The students Of the military school
at Tlaltan, who initiated the revolt in
the federal capital twelve days ago,
have been acclaimed as heroes by the
residents Of Mexico City. Already a
public fund has been started for a
monument to those who lost their lives
in the long drawn out battle. The sur
vivors are applauded by the people
whenever they appear on the streets.
They are everywhere showered with
confetti and flowers from the balconies
as they pass.
The soldiers who only couple Of
days ago were shooting at one anoth-
er in the streets are fraternizing to-
day and describing the events of the
bombardment from their different
points Of view.
City Recovery Normal.
No disorder has been reported and
the city is rapidly resuming its normal
aspect.
The United States ambassador.
Henry Lane Wilson. who played a
prominent part in bringing about the
agreement between Huerta and Diaz,
expressed today his keen pleasure at
the restoration Of peace. In this he
was Joined by every member Of the
diplomatic corps. all Of whom reported
to their governments the cessation Of
hositilitfes.
