Earlier in the day. shortly before
the first outbreak. Madero declared
martial law throughout the city and
announced that he would ask con-

called the new turn Of events.

President Madero was asked by the
diplomatic corps to say yes or no as
to whether he could give protection

After a lnll in the fighting. the gov

arsenal but the federals were re-
pulsed with heavy losses by the ma-
chine guns, rifle and artillery fire.

seriously wounded stray bullets en-
tered the embassy buildings.
1he attitude of the artillery sta
toned in the arsenal was one Of much
speculation on both sides. The ar
tillery remained loyal and the battle

ments which the government had
sent TO attack the rebels were not in
