feating Diaz there seems little doubt that

Those who should die" is the caption
| on an official Maderist document found
! last night In the list of prescribed
| nent men. including Francisco de la
Barra. Jesus Flores Magon. Manuel
| Calero. Alberto Garcia Granados and DIR.
| Vasquez Gomez.
For some days de la Barra believed he
was in danger of assassination, and he
| therefore hid in the British legation.
| where he heard that numerous threats
had been made to capture him.
The rebel troops are not to be removed
| from their positions for two or three
| days. as disorders are feared The au-
| thorities do not wish to give occasion
| for public manifestations.
Zapata Cause of Worry.
The attitude which Zapata. the rebel
leader. will take toward the new regime
is problematical. According to member
Of the Madero household. Zapata two days
ago offered the services of 1000 Of his
followers to President Madero for use
against Diaz
1t has been stated. apparently ON good
| authority. that President Madero had
previously sent to Zapata 100000 pesos to
come to his aid.
Huerta decided today to send troops to
Cuernavaca in order to prevent that city
being occupied by Zapata.
All military commanders in every dis
| trict of Mexico have been asked by
Huerta to invite all the rebel bodies in
| their districts to unite with them The
| federal commanders will inform the
| rebels of the development in the capital
and assure them that general elections
| will be held at an early date.
United States Suddenly Popular.
The part played by the United States
| embassy in the settlement of the ten-day
battle gained for the American flag such
a tribute as never before was witnessed
in Mexico.
After the messenger from the United
States embassy. Harry Berlinger, had
gone through the fire of the rebel lines to
the arsenal conveying the message of
peace sent by Ambassador Henry Lane
Wilson, he drove to the national palace
in an automobile bearing a white flag on
one side and the Stars and Stripes on the
other. BY the time he emerged from the
national palace, after delivering the note

learned the import of his visit The re-
appearance of his machine was the
signal for a tremendous ovation.
Through an immense mass of humanity
gathered in the Zocola and along San
Francisco street the big automobile
picked it's way slowly amid deafening an
plause. with the Stars and Stripes flying
in the wind
Group after group Of the people on the
streets caught up the cry viva los

Looked for Intervention.
For days the entire population of Mex
| leo City had regarded intervention by the
United States as practically inevitable.
Mexicans of the non-combatant class
| suffered divided emotions of hope and
| fear. Thousands. although depIoring in
| tervention by any power had come to
| the conclusion that the good offices of
| any nation were preferable to the wantou
| destruction of property and awful loss of
| life which had been occurring, with
| neither side gaining any apparent ad-
| vantage.
Gen. Banquet brought about the arrest
| OF .MaderO after he had made speech
| to the crowd. in which he said that the
time had come when the slaughter in the
| city must cease. He had already de-
| tailed twenty men to march to the presi-
deAts private offices in the palace and
guard the entrance. Col Riverol was
placed in command of this squad.
At Cost of Three Lives.
The presidents first intimation of the
new turn of affairs came when he walked
into the Hall Of the Ambassadors. where
he saw federal soldiers standing with
| their rifles at ready" One of the sol.
| diers. overenthusiastic. stepped forward
and dropped his rifle into line with the
presidents breast.
Madero thrust the rife aside and seized
hold of the soldier In the struggle the
gun was discharged the bullet flying into
air.
The scufre and the report brought
| Madero's personal guards to his as
| sistance. but they offered inefYectuaI
| c1usion OF the brief encounter two of
the guards had been killed and six
| others wounded. among them Col
| Riverol, who was mortally hurt and
died a short time afterward.
| The capture of the members of the
| cabinet was effected without resistance,
| and there appears to be excellent rea-
| son to believe that some of the cab
plot.
Madero Denounces TRAITORS"
i Francisco Madero. always of a nerv :
Gus disposition, appeared like a wild
man at the moment Of his arrest. He
talked vOlubly about traitors" de-
nouncing bitterly those who had
brought about his downfall Later
however. he recovered his composure
and as he stood between his guards he
seemed to regard the matter more
philosophically.
The president was asked to choose
whether he would send his resignation ir
, the legal channel to congress, or be ex
PEELED from the country. In the latter
event he and his family would be escorted
to Vera Cruz and placed on board yes
, sci in the same way as was Porfirio Dial
a little more than year ago.
Gen. Huerta later in the day called
upon the executive officers of the sen
ate and chamber of deputies to summon
a special session of congress in order t
|legalize the change of government and t,
name a provisional president.
| Gen. Huerta declared that he would de
liver the Hosition to anybody who was le
