MEXICAN ARMY MUT|N|ES AND
PENS MADERO IN HIS PALACE
ARMY OF CONSCRIPTS.

Mexico City. Feb. 9.-Officially
the grand total OF rebels to-day Is
less than n few months ago, but
aside from the statement of the
government to this effect there is
no good reason to believe that the
enrolment of rebels Is not larger
to- DAY than ever. The federal army.

Guiding prisoners and even cap
tured rebels. continues to garrison
the larger cities. and the rebels
continue to control the rural dis
tricts almost at will
Foreigners, AMI especially Amer
leans, are not suffering as much as
might be expected. due, perhaps, to
the fact that proba four fifths of
them have fed from the rebel-in-
Tested districts. The present gov
ernmental operations are being
conducted on the reserve funds of
the treasury. Already the govern
ment has borrowed and used n
large amount Of money, and n loan
authorized many months ago has
not yet been fioated.

WASHINGTON is ANXIOUS
May Increase Troops on Dorder-Re-
view Of Madero's Rule.

Washington. Feb. 9-Although official
messages from Mexico were meagre and
long delayed, STATS ut the White House,
state department and Mexican embassy
sat mp until late Tonight eager for de-
tails OF the revolt in Mexico C.ty which
resulted in the release from prison OF
Gen. Felix DiaZ and his assumption of
command OF the rebel army reinforced
by the troops which detected from the
Mexican federal command.
Secretary Knox is III but such news as
was received was sent to his residence.
while President Taft was Informed by
secretaries of the situation as 1t devel-
oped in press dispatches from the Mexi-
can capital.
The state department sent n hurried
request to bassador Henry Lane WILL
son at Mexico City for report on the
situation especially with reference to the
safety Of American citizens. Up to mid
night, however. nothing had been received
beyond brief advices confirming news of
the revolt under General Diazs leader
ship and the killing OF Gen. Bernardo
Reyes.
First news of the revolt of the federal
army at Mexico City to reach Washing
ton came tonight In a state department
despatch from Nuevo Laredo. Mexico,
stating that General Reyes had been killed
In the attack on the Mexican palace. No
details were given whether the rcbels or
loyal federalists were in control.
Inquiry into the situation, based
upon the dispatches thus far received,
brought forth the assurance, however.
that it would not influence the present
administration to change the policy
that ii has pursued steadily for the
last two years and that there would
be no interference with political affairs
of Mexico to a successful conclusion.
FULL PROTECTION PROMISED.
Every precaution, II was assured,
would be taken to protect lives and
property of Americans In Mexico,
which might involve the despatch of
warships to the coast towns OF that
country and perhaps the strengthen
ing of the military force now on the
border. If Americans were threaten
ed in Mexico. the American ambassa-
dor would demand of the defacto gov
eminent, whether II be regular or
rebel the fullest measure of protec-
ton; and If injury was inflicted on
Americans, ample reparation would
be exacted.
Stirring events have led up to the
existing conditions In Mexico. Less
than two years ago President Porfirio
Diaz, who had served Mexico as its
chief executive for more than a quar-
ter of a century, rendered his resigna'
| ton to the Congress as a result of a
successful revolution against his gov
eminent and retired to Europe. His
retirement followed a year OF herce
revolution, the principal fgure IN
which was Francisco l. Madero. mem
Der of one of the wealthiest and mos
powerful Mexican families. To meet
the constitutional requirements OF {
popular choice of president, Francisco
De La Barra at the time ambassador

OF Gen. Bernardo Reyes and the es-

he heard a noise at the window at thu
farther side OF the room. as II soma
one fumbled at the catch. Instantly
Thorne shrank back behind the por
there's of the window he was guarding
not completely concealing himself but
sufficiently hid as to be unobservea
except by careful scrutiny In the din
light. Once more he clutched the butt
OF his revolver swinging at his waist.
He bent his body slightly, and even
the thought OF Edith Varney passed
from his mind He stood ready, pow
erful, concentrated, determined, con-
fronting an almost certain enemy
with the fierce heart and envenomed
glance of the fighter at bay
He had scarcely assumed this posi-.
ton when the window was opened,
and man was thrust violently
through into the room. At the first
glance Thorne, as yet unseen. recog-
nized the newcomer as his elder broth
er. Henry Dumont. Unlike the two
famous brothers OF the parable, these
two loved each other.
Thorne's muscles relaxed, his hand
| still clutched the butt OF his revolver,
| he was still alert, but here was not
| an enemy. He began at once to faith
| ON something at least of the plan and
the purpose OF the people who had
trapped him. In a fash he perceived
that his enemies were not yet in pos
session OF all the facts which would
warrant them in laying hands upon
| him. He was suspected, but the anal
evidence upon which to turn suspicion
into certainty was evidently lacking.
! He could feel, although he could not
see them, that every door and window
had eyes solely for him, and that he
was closely watched for some false
move which would betray him. The
plan for which he had ventured SO
much was still possible; he had not
yet failed. His heart leaped in his
breast. The clouds around his hort
ION lifted n little. There was yet a
possibility that he could succeed. that
he could carry out his part of the cum
{ nlllRIy ubNlseu anu desperate
taking, the series of events Of which
this night and the telegraph office
were to be the elimination.
A less cautious and less resource
full man might have evinced some
emotion, might have gone forward or
spoken to the newcomer would have
at least done something to have at
tracted his attention, but save for that
relaxation OF the tension, which no
one could by any possibility observe,
Thorne stood motionless, silent, wait
ing; Just as he might have stood and
waited had he been what he seemed
and the newcomer been utterly un'
known and Indifferent to him.
His brother was dressed in the blue
uniform Of the United States; like the
others 1t had seen good service. but
as Thorne glanced from his own
clothes to those of his brother, the
blood came to his face. 1t was like see.
ing his own flag again. For feetins
moment he wished that he had on his
own rightful uniform himself and that
he had never put 1t off for anything;
but duty Is not made up of wishes,
gratifed or ungratihed, and the
thought passed as he watched the
other man.

after a strong resistance by the federals.
A large number of rurales and mounted

Hickman in Better Condition.

Hickman, KY, April 3. - Steady
work throughout the night on the
west Hickman levee where several
weak spots developed yesterday, to-
day had placed that embankment in
a condition which local experts be-
lieve will withstand what flood water
now is in sight Rain and wind today
served to complicate the situation, but
the new method of holding the sand
bagging in place with planking, it is
believed, will prevent any break.
Reports from along the line of the
Reelfoot levee this morning state that
the levee is holding throughout it's en-
tire length. Captain Logan in charge
of train load of men and materials
is busily. engaged in distributing the
men and supplies wherever they are
needed
The refugee camp on the hills OF
Hickman has been pronounced i'll
good shape. There is said to be
plainly of food and shelter for all who
have arrived and arrangements have
been made for enlarging the camp as
it becomes necessary. Sanitary con-
ditions are reported to be better than
those of last year.
