Mexico City, Feb. 24.-The kill
ing of former President Madero and
former Vice President ]. s.. Tino
Suarex has had no effect on the rank
and file OF the people Of the city.
The city continues gay with flags
and bunting.
Business was going on as usual
this morning.
The explanation OF General Huerta
has apparently been accepted at its
face value by the general residents.
Following the autopsy the bodies of
Madero and Suarez were turned over
to their families for burial. Rela-
tives and friends OF the dead have
vowed vengeance, but they are be-
ing watched so closely that 1t lie
doubtful whether they can take any
action that will embarrass the exist
Ing government.
All of the theatres did an enor-
nous business Sunday night. 1t WAS
officially stated today that the re-
port that from the various states
where rebellions are in progress
show that most OF the To- contest
ants are already sick OF their oppo-
sition.
The troops sem to oppress opposi-
ticn to the Huerta administration
are taking vigorous methods to en-
force their demands. 1t Is openly as
serted by officers close to the admin
istration that Zapata. the most no
torious of all the brigands In tn.
field, will be executed when taken
The President and cabinet held o
meeting which lasted until early
this morning at which the killing o.
Madero and SuareZ was discussed
1t was Immediately announced thai
Major .Cardonias, commander OF the
escort Of Rurales, has been arrested
and that others would be taken into
custody. The civil prosecuting at
torney has been authorized to take
! such measures as may be necessary
to punish anyone If it is shown that
a crime was committed.
The bodies of Nadero and Suarel
were turned over TO their relatives
onl yafter the American ambassador
had interceded with the government
and demanded such action. The au

was caused by two bullets Whicl
struck him in the back of the head
! There were no other wounds on his
body. Suarez had eight wounds on
his chest and abdomen. General
Diaz is being deluged with letters
and kilograms OF congratulation or
the success of his cope of securing
control of the government.
The fears expressed in certain
quarters of the new administration
will be unable to get sufficient funds
to restore the depleated national f.
nances, do not seem to be borne out
by the facts. 1t was officially stated
today that offers OF large loans have
teen received from United Slater
and European capitalists.
It is the popular belief today that
the Formally OF a government au'
topsy over the bodies OF Madero and
Suarez was held mainly for the pur-
pose of covering up powder marks
and other indications to show that
the men were slain by ex~ecutioners
their supposed guards who
stood close behind them. 1t was re-
ported that Madero's hair was actu-
ally burned by the flames from the
weapons that killed him.
