u. S. OFFICIALS FEEL
GREATLY RELIEVED
But They Realize That the Situation Is
Is Not Wholly Composed and Troop
Movement Will Be Continued.

Washington, D. c., Feb. l9.--Official
Washington was distinctly relieved to-
day by the news that fighting in Mexico
had ceased and that Madero had abdi-
Gated. Preparations for the eventuali-
ties were not relaxed, however, and no
orders were issued that would halt the
troops movements, already begun.
The officials feel the United States
government has been relieved temper
arily, at least, from its difficult diplo-
matte position, but it is recognized that
affairs are still in most delicate state
and contain an elementary danger to the
relations of both countries.

State House. Feb. 10.

State House, Feb. 10.
Hand-clapping greeted the governors
message this morning that he had signed
the tax bill, House l45, which was
passed yesterday afternoon by the House
acceptance of the Senate proposal to
amend. Considerable apprehension was
manifested last evening concerning the
possibility that Gov. Fletcher might de-
cline to sign the bill, but shortly after
10 o'clock it became known that the
attorney general to whom the bill was
submitted, would probably find no reason
whereby the executive need disapprove
the measure.
Gov. Fletcher was somewhat in doubt
whether the exemption feature of the
new tax bill applied to banks as well
as to individuals. Had the attorney
general decided that the exemption fea-
ture included banks, the lawmakers
would have been confronted with the
task of making another tax bill. As
it is, the state has new tax law,
and it now looks as though the solons
can begin packing up preparatory to
going home Friday or Saturday. 1t is
believed that fstal adjournment will be
taken Friday.

Banquet then issued orders for thu
arrest of the president and assigned {
detachment to that duty. Madero was
soon prisoner in his own rooms.
| One reason given for the attitude ot
| General Banquet from the beginning
was the presence of his son in the ranks
of Diaz.
When the arrest of the president and
his ministers became known crowds gath
cred in the streets through which they
paraded shouting "vivas' for Huerta and
Diaz. A conference was held between
the representatives of these two gen
erals and an agreement was reached
whereby the appointment of General
Huerta to the provisional presidency was
proclaimed.
Prior to this, however, Huerta's at
tempt to communicate with Diaz precipi-
tated one of the sharpest engagements
of the day.
The fire from the rebel rifles and
machine guns was long sustained. 1T
was by no means certain at that time
that the coup which had been carried
out meant the end of hostilities. At
$3.50 in the afternoon the eannonading
was still heavier than before, and the
rattle of machine guns was heard i'll
various quarters. At that time San
Francisco street was being cleared by
Huerta as if he were expecting an at
tack A half hour later the order TO
cease firing was sounded, and the bat
tie was over.
A few loyal members of Madero's staff
rushed into the room when Madero was
with the soldiers and went
to his rescue, but Intellectually. Captain
Garmendia, who had just been appoint
ed chief of police, advanced upon Col
onel Riyeroll, shooting and wounding
him seriously. Immediately there was

of the presidents staff are
