| irony of the phrase. South OF the 1tio
| Grande Governments have had habit
| of ridding themselves by means of the
law OF the fugitives of dangerous or
obnoxious persons. 1t IL hardly likely
! that the brother OF the President Will
I be the last victim Of the dlctators' lethhi
| jokes. The execution of Gustavo Ma
dero was plain intmation that Huerta
and Diaz have determined to destroy
| every vestigc of the MaderO family :
! influence and power. Every effort wa
made to-day to arrest Ernesto Ma

tates. which are tremendously valuable.
giving as reason that the Madero fam

| The day began with evidences of
public relief and of the restoration ot
confidence. The Mexican Hrrdld. which
had been suppressed by President Ma

papers that were published this morn

The forma agreement between Gen.
| Hucrta and Gen. Diaz was signed this
morning in the presence Of the prin-
cipal commanders of both sides. Then
Gen. Huerta called at the American
Embassy and gave Ambassador Wilson
an account of the incidents Of the over
| throw of the Government The Am
! bassador and the temporary President
! had an agreeable conversation and ex-
| changed congratulations over the end
ing OF hostilities. Gen. Huerta renewed
his promises to turn over the Govern
ment To any legally elected President.
\ little later. at \. NJ. Gen Felix
Diaz called upon the Ambassador.
Diaz the Man OF the Hour.
The capital IL discussing with intense
interest tonight the immediate proba-
bilitics, Although Gen. Huarta has been
declared by the Congress President ad
interim and has taken the title of Gov
ernor-General, Felix Diaz appears to be
tn" man OF the hour. There is talk
among the Deputies to the effect that
| Congress may appoint Diaz provisional
President. Danger of further fighting
lies in such a move as 1t is not believed
that Huerta will turn over the Govern
ment To Dlaz without resisting.
| Both Diaz and Huerta are expected to
be candidates before the people at the
| election for President. Huerta has a
strong following. but Diaz's triumph Is
| expected to overweight the Hurrta in
| fuence.
| The situation is complicated and en-
dangered by the power of rebel leaders
in various parts OF the country. IL the
new Government Is to succeed and to
justify the hopes Of the diplomatic corps
Huerta and Diaz must crush the Zapa-
tistas. the forces of Pascual OrOzco. OF
Gomez and OF Salazar.
May send Troops AKainst Rebels.
| 1t was said this afternoon that Huerta
and Diaz have made plans to send
forces against these leaders X they re-
fuse allegiance to the new Government
Emilio Gomez maintains his claim on
the provisional Presidency and is eX-
pected to make trouble. Nothing has
been heard from Orozco, Zapata or
Salazar. II is impossible for the Gov
ernment to escape further fighting.
Gen. Huerta received to-day replies
! from most OF the State Governors to
whom he sent kilograms announcing
the triumph OF the revolt. Most Of the
States have agreed to accept the au-
thority OF Huerta and Diaz and have
promised to appeal to various rebel forces
TO join them in supporting the temporary
government until a President can be
elected who will be satisfactory to all
factions and classes.
| This afternoon the Government was
considering the selection OF a Cabinet
II IL probable that the following will be
asked TO assist Gen. Huerts:
| Foreign Minister Francisco DE IA
BARRA
| War Minister. Gen MANUEL MoNpRAGoN.
| Finance Minister. CARLOS G.. DE CosIlO.
| Minister OF Public Welfare. RoBLEs GIL.
