A dispatch from Mexico City says
that francisco Madero will get out
of Mexico without having to face Of.
fetal investigations for one thing OF
another now appears improbable. He
already has been charged with re-
sponsibility for the death of Col. Riv-
eroll, whom he is alleged to have
shot at the time Of his arrest in the
palace.
A committee OF Deputies now has
asked that Madero be forced to ac-
count for moneys expended by the
Administration. This committee call
ed on President Huerta Thursday az
ternoon and urged that Madero be
held accountable for the depleted

The last details Of the organiza-
| ton of Me1ico's new government
we're complete at o'clock Thursday
| afternoon, when members Of Presi-
dent Huerta's official family took the
oath in the yellow room of the palace,
Immediately above that oc""pied by
the deposed President and y-ce-Pres-
ident.
Although unable to witness the
scenes from their room, Madero and
Saurez could hear plaudits Of the
crowds in the streets and in the big
square in front, and the bugle calls
Of the united army. Significant Of
the birth Of the new administration
was the frank display of soldiers, and
the effect on the crowds was not lost.
1t served as a reminder that even if
it was not a military dictatorship
that has been established, the pfA
ent administration was of much
steTner quality than that which had
just fallen.
Gen. Felix Diaz was among those
in the yellow room wnen the minis
ters took the oath and heard pro-
nounced the formal time-honored
phrase: 'tIf you keep this oath, the
country will reward you; If you don't,
1t will call you to an accounting"
Gen. Diaz was present ostensibly in
no official capacity, but merely as a
private citizen, which he became
many months ago on resigning his
commission as general in the regu-
lar army.
Madero and Pine Saurez betrayed
in their faces the chagrin and humil-
iation which they must have felt, ac-
cording to officers Of the guard.
Neither deigned to ask questions as
to what was happening in the room |
above, but the conversation Of the |
guards served to acquaint them with |
the proceedings. A sneer showed on |
the face Of ;Madero, but the dejec-
ton Of the former Vice-President was
too great, apparently, to permit a |
play Of other emotions.
Federico Gonzales Cara, the for
mer Governor Of the Federal dis
trict, is the third prisoner occupying
the room. There is no partition.
Each man is furnished with a bed
and meals are brought periodically
and served jointly. Madero has ceas-
ed to refuse food and so far as per-
sona1 comfort is concerned he no
longer resists efforts In that direc-
ton. Outside the room stands a
guard Of soldiers, and although there
are no windows in the room, anoth-
er guard is constantly on duty within,
even during the sleeping hours.
No one has been allowed to talk
with the prisoners, although their
wives have been permitted to send
verbal messages. Madero has signi-
fled nothing regarding his future
plans, even if PERMITTED to leave the
country. Members OF his family are
reticent, but by those most
intimate with them it is considered
no. improbable that the enrire family
will emigrate to South America il
the opportunity Is afforded them.
Gustavo Madero, who was shot
Monday, remarked on one occasion
that South America had been consid-
cred as a refuge just before 1t be-
came evident that the government
Of Porfrio Diaz was weakening. The
Maderos about that time considered
that they were beaten and had made
all arrangements to buy property in
South America.
The treasury department is at
present closed, pending its formal de-
livery to the new authorities by the
retiring minister OF finance, Ernesto
Madero. All the other officers Of the
government are open for the conduct
Of affairs as usual.
The arsenal has been formally oe-
livered over to Gen. Banquet, the
new commander OF the post. The
Diaz forces were roundly cheered as
they marched out.
Francisco Cosio Robelo, who sue
ceeds in attracting to his banner OF
revolt against Huerta possibly 100
rurales, is making little headway.
Gen. Francisco Romero was Wednes-
day arrested for completely in this re-
volt and Thursday Col. Arturo Vale,
of the rural guard, also was placed
under arrest on the same charge.
Gen. Diaz came into his own late
Thursday afternoon so far as mani
