Rebels Direct Fire on Palace.
4 [By Associated Pres..l

Mexico City, Feb. i2.-The rebels
under Felix Diaz started an advance
on the National palace shortly before
8 O'clock this morning. The rebels ap-
peared to be using heavier cannon
than yesterday and directed their fire
toward the National palace and to the
higher buildings in the center of the
business district where many Federal
machine guns and rifiemen are posted.
The effort made by the Federals to
isolate the rebels from their water sup
ply was ineffective because of artesian
water where the rebels are located.
The Federal forces were strength
ened in the night by reinforcements of
artillery and infantry.
The suggestion of foreign diplomats
that a neutral zone be established was
considered unfeasible by the Mexican
Government, as it is impossible to tell
in which direction the action may be
shifted. Because of the long range of
the cannon there is no place in the
city which can be considered safe.

II S|DER|NG A NEW JAIL
Present Building Inadequate to Prop.
erly Care for Prisoners--Not
Sanitary and Fire Trap.

The Commissioners Court was in
session today considering plans and
specifications for a new county Jail.
The proposition will be further dis
cussed tomorrow.
There is no doubt of not only the
desirability for new jail, but also as
to the necessity of it. The old build
ing is absolutely inadequate to prop
erly house the county prisoners, as it
Is insanitary and a fire trap. Sheriff
Conlee testified to the court to these
facts, which are known by all who have
Investigated the Jail.
The building of a new Jail will not
Inecessitate any additional tax levy, or
bond issue, since from time immemo-
rial the county has been setting por-
tion OF its taxes aside for a public
building fund. This tax has in the past
not been used for this purpose, but has
been diverted to the road fund. The
intention of the Commissioners Court
is to take only small part of the
building fund, less than a third, and
set it aside each year to pay for a new
Jail.
The members of the Commissioners
Court are the duly elected representa-
tives of the people, and it is their duty
to see that the county prisoners and
dependents are properly cared for. The
recent improvement of the State sys-
tenn of penitentiaries is an indication
of the fact that the time has come
when criminals and the demented who
are upon the county should not be
treated as animals, but humanely and
given comfortable quarters.
The County Sheriff is pleading for
better equipment in order that he can
not only do the prisoners justice, but
the county, since it is utterly impos-
sible with the present Jail to care for
the prisoners as they should be cared
for, to say nothing of the ever-present
danger of a Jail delivery.
Mr.. Conlee, however, does not favor
incurring a debt for new Jail with
out first fully acquainting the people
with the facts and allowing them to
have an opportunity to express them
selves on the subject.
The Eagle believes a new Jail is
badly needed and has advocated it for
years. We do not believe there is a
man in the county who will not stand
by the court and the Sheriff for this
much needed improvement.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Confdential
advices which reachd Washington last
night stated the regular army of Chi
huahua had deserted President Ma
dero.
This was the most alarming bit of
information that has reached Washing
ton since Felix Diaz engineered his
coup d'etat Sunday. Other States of
Mexico, it is feared by officials, also
may join the revolt and precipitate a
situation far more serious than the
present precarious conditions confront
ing Madero.
According to the information re-
ceiyed here the prospect of revolution
in Chihuahua is so grave that its Gov
ernor is prepared TO fee at any mo-
ment. He is declared to be convinced
that the forces of Diaz are strong
enough to overcome his own forces at
any time and revolution there is immi-
nent. There are $500 Federals in Chi
huahua State, says the dispatch, all OF
whom are believed to be devoted to
the cause of Diaz, and 5000 volunteers,
most of whom can be counted upon to
remain loyal to Madero. The expert
ence of the regulars, however, is
counted upon by followers of the latest
leaders.
Leaders of the Diaz faction in Chi
huahua claim, according to dispatches
received here, that at least 1900 armed
men are ready to join the regulars
when they revolt. They expect to
carry into camp all the field pieces and
machine guns in possession of the
regulars.
