The President and Cabinet have re-
solved that the affair be consigned TO

ing to do with such attempts against
military prisoners, such as were Ma
dero and SuareZ, 40 that they may make
a strict investigation with the direct
Intervention Of the Military Prosecutor

asked, in view Of the exceptional char

Filled with "A desire 10 protect the

President Huerts seemed to he labor

The reports received from the proyn-
ccs by the Government to-day were
optimistic and reassuring. Tho news
paper correspondents are told by Presi-
dent Hucrta's representatives that the
rumors OF uprisings have been eNag-

has decided to support the Huerta Gov
crnment and now protests that he is
loyal. The Governor had learned that
trainloads Of Federal troops were on
the way to his capital to enforce order.
Zapatistss Fear Government.
There are indications that The Zapa-
tistas fear Huerta and DaZ and dare
not oppose the Government. Passen-
gers arriving from Puebla to-day saw
that Jesus Morales the principal aid
of Iapata, is now jefo politico OF Mata-
moras and that he has succeeded in
paCifying all that region. Morales IL

1000 men under him. He Is repairing
the interoceanic railroad line, which was
damaged by his own men.
A passenger train from Puebla to
Atlixco was stopped last night by a
large force of Zapatistas under Gen.
Francisco Mendoza. The Zapatistas
were in overwhelming force and the
Federal troops on the train expected
trouble. Gen. Mendoza however, shook
hands with the Federal comma nder and
told him that he was supporting the
Government with all of his comrades.
Numerous stories are being received
in the capital about the depreda tions
committed by bandits in the States of
Mexico and Morelos. Trains for the
south have generally stopped running
because of the danger OF wrecks. The
Government intends to establish extern
siNc patrols. President Huerta is or
ganizing forces to send against the
many small bands of robbers that have
been active in Morclos since Madero
Withdrew the Federal troops.

President Huerta said to-day that he

that il Concilation fails he will give

President said that the Government will

1t appears from the Presidents inter
views with newspaper correspondents
that he wants 20 make the people under
stand that the republic of Mexico is
actually in danger OF losing its ma

has sent representatives to all of the
States TO explain the purpose of the

people that the republic would have

The policy OF the Government toward

dressed and were escorted to the court
yard of the palace. where two automo-
biles and tho guard of ruraies were
waiting
When the guard left the palace with
the prisoners there were no signs Of dis
order or of the presence of rebels. 1t
was bright night. The moon fur
nished clear light and the guards were
able to survey the route before them.
The journey was without incident until
the automobiles arrived at about the in

and the Calle Lecumberri. in the sx-

short distance of the penitentiary.

mediatcy at the guards in the leading
auto. Major Cardenas drew his revolver
and discharged II a. the attacking party.
The rurales opened fire with their
carb!nes. Almost at once the attackers
were reinforced by perhaps thirty armed
men. who came running from side
streets, all shouting "Niva Madero'" or
viva Suarez." and all firing upon the
two automobiles.
The prisoners were killed almost at
the outset of the fight. The Govern
ments statement says that the Nader
istas turned a heavy fire upon the car
in which Madero and Suarez were rid
ing. and that the car was damaged by
bullets. Each OF the prisoners was hit
by many bullets.
Ma tor Cardenas's rurales charged the
attacking party and dispersed them
after several minutes OF short range
firing. one OF tho attackers was kille,
and several were injured. Several werS
arrested.
After Major Cardenas had taken the
bodies to the pententiary he returned
to the National Palace and informed
President Huerta rs TO what had hap
pened. The President directed his Chief
Of STAFF to send for the Cabinet Min
isters. The President and the Cabinet
conferred and then the newspaper cor
respondents were summond to the pal
ace. This was two hours and half
after the murders.
President Huerta received the re-
