rode directly across the Zocola. which
was still Uttered with bodies. and en-.
tered the palace a short time after
noon. The president was unattended
on his ride. He at once took charge
of affairs.
Meanwhile General Diaz had at
tackled the arsenal and after sharp
fight was soon in possession. The cap
ture OF the arsenal put the rebels in
possession of several cannon and ma
chine guns and great quantity Of
small arms and ammunition.
Diaz Calls for Volunteers.
Fighting was abandoned temporarily
and General Diaz. attended by a large
escort, rode to the Paseo de la Re-
FORA the principal boulevard OF the
city, where he addressed large crowds.
He rode several blocks, stopping at
each corner to speak to the masses,
who almost blocked the way. He made
an urgent call for volunteers to over
throw the Madero government and his
exhortations were received by loud
cheering by his sympathizers.
The governments military support
ers thus far largely outnumber the
military adherents Of the uprising. as
the volunteer regiments, numbering
four or five thousand men, have re-
NAMED loyal. But they are raw re-.
cruits and untried in actual fighting,
while all the men who have rallied to
the standard OF General Diaz are sea-
soned veterans, the First cavalry. his
old regiment, being considered the
crack fighting regiment of the army.
The position Of the rurales is uncer-
tain. 1t is believed. however. that they
will divide.
Americans Are Safe.
Throughout the day there was no
evidence Of any anti-American senti7
ment, everybody being concerned only
in the outcome Of the uprising against
the government.
Reliable reports have reached the
city that 500 striking miners. heavily
armed and carrying dynamite bombs.
are on their way to the capital from
Pachuca They will join the Diaz
forces. Another report, believed to be
reliable, is to the effect that several
thousand Zapatistas have started to-
wards the capital from the state OF
Mexico and Morelos. while from the
north comes the report that Orozco,
who is now 400 miles south Of Ell

News Of the tragedy comes from the

Following ia the list OF the dead:

was the signal for general firing.
Populace Shot Down.
Suddenly from the roof of the pal

machine guns. The Maderists had
turned loose. The topulace without
