.ional Palace. TIE city is in control
Of General Huerta and is virtually
under military dictatorship, as re-
suit OF the sudden and unexpected
coup executed this afternoon az two
thirty o'clock by cabal headed by
Huerta and General banquet, with
the sympathetic cooperation OF most
o. the officers in the capital.
As near as can be figured out now.
the plans of the men who engineered
what may be called the palace revo-
luton did not take in Diaz As soon
as Huerta found himself in control, a
messenger was dispatched to Diaz UNI
der white flag to tell him what had
been done and suggesting a confer
ence. This is now going on.
Following the arrest Of President
Madero and the members Of lis cab
met by General banquet and his par
tisans, Madero signed his resignation
as President of Mexico, in face of the
threat that he would he deported.
Diaz and Huerta are preparing today
TO unite their troops.
Ambassador Wilson wired today
that fears of pestisence in the City of
Mexico are increasing as a result OF
unburied dead, destruction of sewers,
failure of the water supply and a
shortage of fresh food.
The American residents, he said,
had formed relief society.
That Diaz is rapidly winning con-
troll of the City of Mexico and Made
ro's downfall hourly grows nearer, is
the gist OF an uncensored message
from Ambassador Wilson.
The American ambassador declared
that Diaz soon will control the whole
residential part of the city. Last night
the federals retired from their ex-
posed positions into the palace. Will
son said there had been fierce fight
ing and that the federals had suffered
heavy losses.
The American embassy is apparent
ly the only spot Of refuge in the whole
city. There Wilson has established a
zone of safety where strictest santa
ton Is enforced.
The governments military propos-
ais are generally approved by the
Paris morning papers as essential to
the maintenance of Frances proper
tional strength in Europe. These pa
pers, while regretting the necessity of
the additional expenditures of arma-
ments, oppose the proposals only so
far as they concern the contemplated
heturn to three years service. They
see the advantages Of national or
universal militia.
Escorted to the outskirts Of the
town by the police and augmented by
fourteen recruits, the suffragettes'
army, marching from New York to
washington, left Chester, Pa, today.
Thousands of cheering people saw the
mixers on their way, while horns were
footed and whisttes were blown IN the
factories. ~
Bands of armed and mounted Mexi-
cans crossed the border at West Al
pine, Texas, today, and raided the
Hancock, Haley and Watson ranches
and took many horses and great
quantity of supplies.
Sheriff WALTON, at the head of a
large posse, Is pursuing the bandits.
Silas F. Gilmore, an elderly Ameri-
can, who is manager of an important
Worship in the City of
Mexico, was struck IN the right fore
arm by bullets today as he was walk
ing along Colima street. He ran into
the middle OF a skirmish between
rebels and federals.
The Inauguration of Raymond Poin-
care as president of the French Re-
public for term of seven years took
place today with simple ceremonies.
