President.
On tho way from tho palace the SEN
ators were interviewed by your cor
respondent. They were incensed over
the cool reception at tho hands OF the
Presidents uncle and the Cabinet min
listers.
We will not Visit the palace again
until we are sent for,' said Senator
EnriQuez.
The committee reached a milder
frame OF mind "a little later in the day,
concluding that the gravity OF the
situation required them to sacrifice
personal piQue. The Senators at
tempted in various ways to commune
cato with Madero. but he remained in
accessible. This gave n basis for the
rumor which went flying over tho city
In the early morning that he was In
hiding or had fed.
The public mind was aflamc al noon.
when General Canacho. who is a Sen
ator, arrived with Senator Fernandez
in an automobile in front of tho gov
ernment cable Office. a great crowd
was gathered in front OF the cable
building, and General Camacho made
II speech from his motor car. He said
that the Senate had demanded the
resignation OF the President because
President Taft had telegraphcd to the
British minister that the time had
come for intervention. General CANA
cho asserted large force Of American
marines had landed at Vera Cruz and
was marching toward the capital.
Once There. They Never VIII Depart.
IF the Americans once enter the
city" said General Canacho excitcdly.
they will never leave. Our country
will be lost through the selfish ambi-
ton OF AIadero and through the impe-
realistic policy of the colossus OF the
north
"Mexicans. awake to your danger.
"Forco Madero to resign or the
Americans will be upon us.''
Camacho's remarkable speech Gre
ated tumult. The people chcercd
and threw their hats In the air. EN-
pressions of dislike and hatred for
Americans were heard In the crowd.
Numerous Americans and nnglishrncn
Herc present when Camacho spoke
They listened with incredibly and
alarm. y newspaper correspondent
who had been actiye In advocating In
tervcption. rushed through the crowd
trying 10 allay the excitement Cool
headed McNicans translated the cor
respondents lemarks. and assured their
countrymcn that the report OF immedi-
ate Intervention could not be true
Less fiery Senators made speeches
to the crowd saying that General Ca
macho had misunderstood the stua-
tion, or that he had misinterpreted any
message that might have been re-
teivec from the American President
The excitement fell away after a time,
bat Camachos speech was regarded
as unfortunate. although few believed
the story that Intervention Is immi-
ncnt. The danger now is that the
cordial feeling that has existed be-
tween Mcxicans and Americans In the
| capital will be- poisoned by such
rumors and such speeches.
General Camacho was actuatcd TO
make the speech by Madero's obsti-
macy. II is said. The general and the
other Senator'S are determined to make
Madero Quit. but are not certain about
their constitutional right to force the
PRESIDENT to resign. Therefore, In the
belief of tho American residents, he
sought TO infiaTnc the populace.
| Deadly Fighting Resumed in Streets.
While these measures were going
forward the fighting was resumed. The
| Federal infantry had occupied dis
| tricts OF the city previously removed
| from the danger zone. Two Federal
guns were posted at noon within a
! block and n half of the American en-
bassy in the Colonia Rema. Ambassa-
dor Wilson Immediately sent a pro-
! test to the Federal officer in charge
OF the battery. The guns were re-
moved later, but not until after rebel
of the embassy. The constant widen
! ing of the Federal lines as they give
way before Diaz's deadly artillery fire
is exposing the embassies and their
refugees TO the greatest peril
Madero's tactics in placing his guns
Whcre hotels and other centres of life
In the main part of the capital would
be endangered resulted to-day in the
death and injury of moro American
citizens.
