That the new administration in Mexico
expects to use the methods of Porfirio
Diaz. as far as Is possible, in governing

troops slso is on its way to Saltillo from
the capital and in event that Governor

sition these men will be used against
him and his followers.
Sanchez Reported Killed
1t is reported that Juan Sanchez Az
coma, private secretary to ex-President
Madero, has been put to death at Puebla.
There is no confirmation of the report,
but it is generally believed to be true.
Azcona was arrested at Apizaco, while
fleeing from the capital and was taken
to Puebla
mander of the army operating at Cuer-
navaca, and General Joaquin Fausto Bel
tran, former commander of the federals at
Vera Cruz, are TO be subjected to an in
quiry by the military court. General
Beltran will be tried for the part he
played in attacking Vera Cruz last year
at the time of the ill starred uprising
fomented there by General Diaz. He Is
accused of misuse of the white flag
In capturing Vera Cruz and making a
prisoner of General Diaz, who later was
brought to the capital and remained in
carctated until the recent revolt which
ended in the downfall of Madero.
1t was charged at the time that Diazs
revolt failed because Diaz believed Bel
trans forces would join him. Betran and
his men, under a flag of truce were
permitted to enter Vera cruz ana Diaz
was seized by the federal commander
and placed in prison.
General Angeles will be tried for fail
ure to obey an order of General Huerta
to report to the palace with his forces
on the last day of the recent fighting in
the city. General Huerta intended to get
| Angeles to the palace as a part of his
plan for ending the battle. Angeles is
confined in the same room in the pa.ace
with ex-President Madero.
| Sonora Madero, wife of the ex-president
and Sonora Suarez wife of the ex-vice
president, today for the first time since
their husbands were arrested, were per-
mitted to visit them in the palace. The
visits lasted one hour and were private
| When the women left the palace they
appeared to be deeply apprehensve as
to the fate of their husbands
| Francisco Madero's fate lost first place
in the interest of the Mexican populace
because of the more pressing concern as
| to the extent to which Mexico is vet in a
| condition of revolution.
Widespread Disorders
| In spite of the termination of hos
| tilities in the capital and the estal-
| lishment of new administration there
are indications of widespread trouble
in other sections of the country.
The disposition of the deposed Pres
ident and vice president have not been
settled and was still the cause of nome
anxiety, but this was regarded in many
| quarters as of little consequence to
the nation compared with the prob
lem presented by the existing rebel
forces and the prospective insur-
rectors. In view of General Huerta's s
personal assurance to Sonora Madero
that her husband would not be killed,
| it was believed that some humane
| measure would be devised for his
elimination from public life.
1t is probable that this point will
be discussed at the first meeting of
the cabinet and also in congress, which
was reconvened in ordinary session.
Gen. Pascual Orozco, according to dis
patches from Chihuahua yesterday.
conferred at Palomos with David De
La Fuente, who has been chosen from
the rebel list as a cabinet minister
Orozco will accompany Senior De La
F'uente to the federal capital in order
personally to express his allegiance to
the new government.
General Aguilar and Colonel De La
Lave, who have been in rebellion in
the south, are reported to be in accord
with the new administration. on the
other hand, there has been no inti-
nation from Zapata of his conformity
with the new order of thinys. Be-
yond this reports have been leceived
from the north which appear very seri-
