certain that the new administration in
Mexico must deal with a new revolu-
tion in addition to the remnants of the
old one. Three governors of states in
the republic formally have refused
to recognize Provisional President
Huerta and two or three others are
doubtful.
Venostiano Carranza, governor of
the state of Coahuila, with 1900 men,
is working with Emilio and Raoul
Madero, brothers of the deposed presi-
dent, who are at San Pedro, Madero's
old home near Saltillo, which is Car
ranza's base. Jose Gayou, former
governor of Sonora, has telegraphed
from Mexicali to Governor Maytorena
of Sonora offering him 5000 men and
100000 pesos to restore Madero to
office.
Governor Maytorena has telegraphed
the senate and Provisional President
Huerta, repudiating the new administra-
ton.
The governor of Yucatan ignorant of the
death of Gustavo Madero, has wired him
Offering the services of 12oo men and
money to assist in a new revolution
What will be done with ex-President
Madero. has not yet been determined
Juan Sanchez Azeona. Madero's private
secretary, is a prisoner at Puebla. 1t
was reported today that he had been
shot, but the report proved untrue
General Porfiro Diaz, ex-president of
the republic, who has been in exile in
Europe is coming home There is not
the slightest possibility that he again
will mix in the politics of Mexico, but
his enforced exile is ended. Word was
received today from Paris that within
short time General Diaz again will be in
his private residence in Cadena street,
an interested spectator of the develop
ment of the new regime.
1t was authortatively stated today that
the arrival home of General Diaa will
be not later than April ., the anniversary
OF the taking Of Peuba by his forces in
1867 in the war of French intervention
This day will be celebrated in honor of
General Diaz.
The news that Porfirio Diaz was re-
turning to the land from which he was
driven by Francisco Madero was not diff
fieult to believe after the scenes in the
national palace today. 1t was evident
the men of the old regime were again
in the ascendency, but with the support
of a great number of those who at
tanned prominence during the Madero
rule and who, disgusted at the continued
warfare, were ready TO support any one
even thought II be the old conservative
element.
It was a busy day for President Huerta
and the new cabinet. While yesterday was
the day of organization, today was one
of government. Scores of commissions,
official and otherwise, visited the ma
tional palace to pay their respects to the
new president Men went to the palace

them General Samuel Garcia Cuellar, who

Diaz Calls at Palace
Men who had been political prisoners
| until yesterday We're among those seek
| ing an audience all wandering about the
ancient salons looking for changes. They
found one notable one and that was the
! absence from the walls of the portraits
of Porfirio Diaz. Felix Daz was among
the callers and interested spectators at
the official reception. His only participa-
ton, however, was that ofsa private citi-
zen, role he has assumed. He is not
idle though. Already he and close friends
have set in motion the machinery and
the party work for his political campaign
which it is hoped by the new administra-
ton would be finished in u short time.

however that President Huerta will find
the task of pacficaton simple or partic-
ularly short. The awe inspired by can
non will doubtless act as a repressive
agent in and about the capital. but many
with whom rebellion has become more OF
less a profession will probably continue
the strife. Disquieting reports also con-
tinue to arrive regarding the attitude of
| disgrunted governors and political lead
ers in many parts of the republic
Espouse New Cause
General Pascual Orozeo, Jr., is expected
10 arrive here soon and espouse the cause
of the new administration, but it is con-
sidered not improbable that Inez Salazar
| perhaps the second strongest man in the
northern rebel army, will refuse to sup
port any government having the appear
ance of the old regime. lie represents
the more radical element OF the northern
rebels.
The most concerted action is undoubt-
edly that centering about Governor Car
ranzas in the state of Coahuila where
two brothers of the. deposed president
are organizing a force with the purpose
or wrestling the government from the
hands of Huerta and avenging the death
of their brother Gustavo. As nucleus
OF their army they have a force of irrcg-
ulars and are said to be able to augment
this number with a considerable number
OF other recruits. In the south it is not
Improbable that Castillo Brito. the gov
ernor of Campeche, will support the anti
government movement.
The stake for which both sides will play
is the support of Geucraf Emiliano Ia
pata, who controls too many men to lie
ignored. The government claims that
Zarata has expressed a willingness to
ssase f's,'ir'iv asking only for a change
