Sonora Madero burst into tears. With
one arm around her weeping sister-in-
law, Senorita Mercedes drew herself up
to her full height, looking scornfully
over the array Of officers and guards.
and with a sweeping gesture Of con-
tempt and defiance, exclaimed:
"Cowarde and assassins, all Of you!
You have no hearts! You would in
crease the suffering Of broken women!
Your punishment is to come! You muir
derers who shot two unarmed men in
the back! You traitorsr'
Covering under the tigerish wrath of
the magnificent woman the officers and
guards, drew back into the shadows of
face her flashing eyes.
Half supporting the prostrated widow,
Senorita Mercedes turned and strode
with queenly dignity to the automobile
and drove away.
Two Bullets Hit Him.
The autopsy showed that Madero's
death was caused by two bullet wounds
head. There were no other wounds on
his body. Pine Suarez had eight wounds
In the chest and abdomen.
The killing of the two officials is not
being discussed here to any extent.
Relatives and friends of the dead have
vowed vengeance. but they are being
watched SO closely that 1t is doubtful
whether they can take any action that
will seriously embarrass the existing
government. Ley de fuga is too old an
institution to cause surprise. .
All of the theaters did an enormous
business on Sunday night. As indi-
eating the general spirit. one of them

Mort (The Great Death)
1t is officially stated today that tho
reports from the various states where
rebellions are in progress show that
most OF the malcontents are already
sick OF their opposition. The troops
sent to suppress opposition to the
Huerta administration are taking Wig
Pick Zapata To Die.
Even the dreaded Zapata, most noto-
rious OF all the brigands in the field,
has suffered. Many of his men, 1t
IL claimed in government circles, al
ready have deserted him, and Zapata
has made overtures to the government
to declare his loyalty if granted i'm
munity.
1t is openly asserted by officers close
to the administration today that, IL
Zapata is taken he will be Immediately
executed. The real reoson for this will
not be the outrages he has committed.
Instead, It will be because It has been
proved that he had had a secret under
standing with the dead Madero. 1t is
claimed by officers who are close 20
the. administration that Madero fur
nished both money and arms to Zapata
while at the same time processing bitter
opposition to him and his methods.
The British colonists in the capital
are today circulating a memorial in
dorsing the action Of Henry Lane VIII
son. the American ambassador. They
thank him In the warmest terms for his
activity in behalf Of the British as well
as all foreigners, and when signed with
the names of most of the leading
Britons I'm the city will be forwarded
to the American representative with a
request that he transmit it to Washing
ton.
The British colony is bitter over the
inaction Of its own minister. II Is re-
ported, but not confirmed, that certain
leaders Of the colony are circulating
petition to be sent to the foreign office
in London asking that it recall him and
replace him with a more active repre-
sentative.
No announcement has yet been made
regarding the burial of Madero or
SuareZ. 1t is known that the govern
ment will not permit any ostentaious
display or any attempt to make martyrs
Of the dead in. this connection.
