How Gustavo was Executed.

! Mexico City, Feb. 19.-The exc
oution of Gustavo Madero, known as
the "power behind the throne" in
Mexico, formed today a tragic sequel
to the upheaval in Mexico yesterday
when Francisco |. Maderos admins
tration was turned out by the fed
eral generals.
The ex-president and his brothG-
Gustavo, were sent this morning as
prisoners to the arsenal from which
Felix Diaz had bombarded the city
for ten days. Soon after their ar
rival there Gustavo Madero was sub
iected to the notorious fugitive law,
by which he was free to run under
the rifle fire of his guards. He fell
dead by, their bullets.
There is some trepidation also as
to the fate which awaits the ex-
president and his cabinet because of
the finding of list of those VINO
ought to die" among the official doc
uments of Francisco Madero's gov
ernment. tIis feared that this may
lead to ugly reprisals.
More Powerful Than President.
Gustavo Madero was generally re-
garded as a much more powerful
man than the president himself. At
40, T'ran 7 MnInrn Tr hnH
relied with DR.. Vasquez Gomez, he
and his brother forced Juan Jose
Saurez to the front to take the po
sition of vice president, although he
was little known. This was an act
Maderos' enemies never forgave and
was really the reason for the start
ing of the government party,
which showed systematic opposition
to the schemes of the politician, Gus
tavo Madero.
After Gustavo's arrest yesterday
and during his removal through the
streets the crowds were wildly ex-
cited and even made efforts to lay
their hands on him. A heavy guard
of rurales was necessary to assure
the prisoners safety.
Gdstavo Madero was at one time
minister of finance of Mexico. He
visited the United States early in
1911.

Maderos Fate is Undecided.

Mexico City Feb. 20.-The fate OF
Francisco l. Madero is in the bal
ance today. Preparations which
were made at midnight for his de-
parture from the country with hi,
family, were halted by mysterious
orders from General Huerta.
Adolph BaseO, aged 60, superintend-
ent of the national palace for many
years, was executed last night Felix
Diaz denied responsibility for the
execution of Gustavo Madero and
Baseo. The official report of the
death of Gustavo Madero says che
was being removed from one part
of the arsenal to another, when he
made a dash for liberty and the
officers in charge fired, killing him.
Gustavo MadeTo's death is the chief
topic of conversation. The popula-
ton crowded about seeking souvenirs
of the dead politician.
Felix Diaz and General Huerta to-
day sent telegram to Porfiro Diaz
at Paris saying, "You have been
avenged against your former enemy" "
Only the most optimistic believe
that the substitution of Huerta for
Madero will result in complete peace
throughout the republic.
The activity of the Zapata follow
ers has been turned against the new
administration. An unconfirmed de-
spatch says that Cuernavaca has fall
en- into Zapata's hands.
'~- Aspirations Of Dlaz.
Felix Diaz will enter the race for
president and it is probable that
HI erta will not run against him. One
reason why Diaz made no effort to
secure the provisionary presidency
for himself was his wish to be entire
" free to organize and direct his
party in the coming campaign.
The closest estimate obtainable of
the casualties during the fighting in
the streets shows about three thous-
ant killed and seven thousand wound
ed In most cases no official record
vas made of the bodies, which were
gathered upon and carted to open
spaces outside the city and burned.
Numerous instances of whole families
being wiped out by the explosion Of
shells or by the fire of the machine
guns are reported. Estimates of the
loss of property run to many millions.
1t was reported today that the gov
ernment is considering the advisable
ity of bringing Francisco Madero be-
fore a lunacy commission. The fate
of Madero, however, will probably be
left in the hands of the new cabinet
aid doubtless be decided tonight. The
eX-president is now a prisoner of
Huerta, who refuses to accept re-
sronsibilfty for his disposition.
