ARMED QUIET IN
MEXICAN CAPITAL
Americans Guard U. S. En-
bassy-Madero Reported Fled.
Taft Considers Intervention.

City was taken, he would remain in
the government palace as long as
possible, and then, with whomever re-
NAMED loyal he would transfer the
seat of government to the hills in the
south, where he would keep up the
fight for constituted government.
The city apparently was not con-
WINGED today that Madero would not
be able to return to the city with
enough troops to wrest from Diaz and
his mutinous followers the power
which they seized yesterday.
If Madero remained in the national
palace here or took refuge in the
palace at Chapultepec it was gener-
ally assumed that the bombardment
of these palaces would follow.
There was considerable speculation
today as to what action Congress
might take. 1t was regarded as prob
able that Congress would demand the
resignation of the Madero admins
tration.
The silence. of the night in the
street was almost gravelike, despite
the fact that all of the regular police
had been removed and in their places
patrolmen in groups made rounds of
the city at long intervals. The only
other night activity was the occa-
sional passing of a Red Cross auto
| mobile ambulance, either moving a
victim of Yesterdays revolt or taking
up a position in readiness for pos
sible engagements in the streets to-
| day.
The United States embassy was
guarded during the night by force

guard were c. w. Fish and w. F.
Patton, traffic manager and general
passenger agent respectively of the
National railway.
Reports regarding the advance OF
the Zapatista rebels from the south
continued during the night. 1t was
reported that GeneveYo De La
would arrive in the capital during the
day to join Diaz.

report that the troops in Monterey

Isaaeson waaat my direction"
Attaches of the prosecutors office
are still working on the case and
have the official records of the hos
pital showing the exact time that
Isaacson entered the institution and
time of his death, together with a
record of the treatment applied. The
only records of the case which Miss
Gertrude Schlesinger. acting superin-
tendent of the hospital, could show
was that Isaacson entered the hos
pital on February 4 and that his
death occurred on February 3, ana
that $40 was charged for the time he
was in the institution.
Miss Sarah Van Gelder, head nurse
of the Beth Israel Hospital, stated
that Isaacson had been brought TO
the hospital after 5 O'Clock on the
afternoon of February 4, and that
aside from stimulants which were ap-
plied he had no other treatment until
10 o'clock the next morning, when the
stomach pump was brought into use.
The Isaacson family had recently
moved to $50 Bergen street from a
house at So sixteenth avenue, which
Isaacson had owned, but had recently
sold with the intention of going to
the Pacific coast to start life anew.

o'clock on February 4, and after tax

When he was taken sick he told his
wife that he thought there was a
brownish powder in the cup, but was
not certain, as he did not have his
glasses. He was totally blind in one
eye and sthe sight of the other was
poor.
According to the widow, the call for
a physician was not made until Alex

Cort, of the Fourth precinct, and De-

Prosecutor Motifs staff. after an in

thought that the poison had been
swallowed with suicidal intent.

Equipment of Expedition.
The expedition under Captain Scott
was the best equipped that had ever
been gathered together for such an
adventure. 1t sailed from Port Chal-
mers, near Christ Church, New
Zealand, on November 20, 1910. The
Terra Nova made direct south into
Ross Sea. Early in January, 1911. she
forced her way into McMurdo sound,
where winter quarters We're estab-
lished on Cape Evans.
The members of the expedition had
very arduous task in putting their
stores on shore and the work took a
week. However, they were able to
make themselves very comfortable in
houses which they had carried with
them in KNOCK down" form. They
at once began their scientific obser-
yations.
| Provisions for three years stay
| in the ice regions had been taken or
! board the Terra Nova and these were
placed on shore.
Captain Scott had with him twenty
Siberian ponies. thirty dogs and two
motor sleds.
Ponies, Dogs and Motors.
The ponies, dogs and motor sleds
were to be used alternately or trans.

TAFT AND CABINET HOLD
CONFERENCE REGARDING
UPHEAVAL IN MEXICO

WASHINGTON, Feb 1O.-President
Taft and the cabinet met early today
to take up the Mexican situation. It
was a special session of the cabinet,
called originally to consider a message
to Congress on the budget system.
but the startling developments of yes
terday diverted its original purpose.
While it was again stated today
that there was to be no Intervention
in Mexico during the remaining three
weeks of President Taft's administra-
ton, the general staff of the army
had its Mexican mobilization plans
ready and the navy was in readiness
for any contingency.
A few orders would set in motion a
highly organized plant for Joint use
of the army and navy for the protec-
ton of American life and property in
Mexico. But It is pointed out that
nothing short of the most dire con-
ditions could force an American in
tervention at this time.
The Mexican uprising, coming as
the climax of general unrest
throughout Central America, which
already has caused the movement OF
Eve United States men-of-war to the
Latin republics, may cause the move
ment of more ships at any moment
as a precautionary measure to pro-
vide refugees at all Mexican seaports
for Americans and other foreigners
who want to get out of the danger
zone.
| Early dispatches to the state de-
partment today contained no further
news of the uprising or the fate OF
President Madero.
1t now develops that the admins.
tration was not completely surprised

when Felix Diaz began his unsuc-
cessful attempt at revolution in Vera
Cruz. officials here fully expected that
the Madero regime would soon end.
Since the collapse of the rebellion
there has been continued discomfort.
and, although officials here hoped
that the crisis would be averted until
after March 4, when the policies of
the United States would be in custody
of new hands, no actual surprise was
felt here when the upheayal came
yesterday.
The question to concern the cabi-
net meeting today was the precarious
situation of Americans in the city of
Mexico, If Diaz or President Madero
could not guarantee protection for
their lives or property. The princi-
Piles of international law are under
stood to sanction Intervention where
there is no titular authority in a
country able and willing to assume
the duty of keeping down anarchy
and preventing the pillage of property
of foreign residents and the sacrifice
of their lives.
If the United States were to inter-
vene the first step would be taken by
the navy. It would fall to Rear-Ad-
miral Badger, commander-in-chie of
the Atlantic fleet, to dispatch some OF
the big battleships to Vera Cruz to
land a force of marines and blue
| jackets.

Representative Shoup today intro duced memorial asking Congress to make an additional appropriation to complete the necessary government buildings in Juneau. The memorial refers to the appropriation of $2OO,, OOO made at the time that the omni- bus bill was passed in 1910, and calls attention to the fact that the Congress at that time was making no provision for legislative halls and many other offices that have since become neces- sary with the advent of the legisla- ture.
 The sum as set forth is wholly in- adequate and Congress is asked to in crease the building fund by an added appropriation of S5OOOOO for that pur- pose. This would give an entire sum of $7OO.OOO with which to construct the building. The petition forwarded by the Commercial Club of Juneau, bearing on the same subject is re- ferred to and endorsed by the mem- orial.
