president, and regarded much moro
powerful than the president, was
removed from the pententiary and
executed, 1t is presumed this was
done by the order of Felix piaz,
under the fugitive law"
The deposed president was lods-
ed in the arsenal. Had he succeed
ed in defeating Diaz, little doubt
but that many bloody reprisaIs
would have been made, "Those
who should die" is a caption on an
official Maderist document that was
found containing the names OF
twenty-five prominent men, inelud
ing De la Barra, Alberto Granda-
dos and Vasquez Gomez.

Bra, the newspaper organ of the Mad

Vice Pres, Jose Pino Suarez was also
arrested and held prisoner in an
other portion of the national palace.
Juan Sanchez A2ona, private secre-
tary to Madero, fled the country in
an automobile during the night.
The determination that the battle in
which the heavy artillery was used in
the streets since the outbreak Of the
Dlaz muntiny must end was what
led the group of senators to urge

Madero family from the public affairs
of Mexico.

The part played by the United States
embassy in the settlement of the
ten days battle gained for the Ameri-

Mexico.
After the messenger from the Amer
lean embassy had gone through the
fire of the rebel lines to the arsenal

Salute of Guns.
When the news of the arrest Of
Madero and the change in govern
ment had permeated the rebel lines.
holiday fusillade from the machine
guns and rifles took place. The awful
din continued twenty minutes before
they were ordered to cease. AS the
noise of the reverberating reports died
away the sound of merry peals from
the church bells of the city rang out.
The American residents congregated
in the district about the United States
embassy and were just as demonstra-
tive as the Latin Americans. In di-
plonatic circles the solution has been
greeted heartily.
The capture of the members of the
cabinet was effected without resist
