MADERos IN WASHINGTON.

Washington, March S-There was disquietude in diplomatic circles here today, when it was declared the con stitutiona1 party of Mexico, of which the Maderos are the head and front, had planned to establish headquar- ters in this city to combat the Huerta, regime. Alfonso Madero, h4-other of the late President of Mexico, was here for several days and is under stood to have made arrangeme ments for the institution of a central office. The details of the Maderist plan are not known although quiet inquiries, it is understood, are being made by the state department and the Mexican embassy.
 Representatives of the Medero fam fly declared, today. that the visit of Alfonso Madero was entirely of a so- cia1 nature and that he had stopped here on his way from San Antonio, Tex, to New York. He left for New York, last night, where he is expect ed to consult with the other members of the family.

 Al Bridwe1l, says MathewSon TOT merly the, Giants shortstops was one of the cleverest men. at the inside leagues and it was this that madA, him valuable Then suddenly his legs went bad, and he slowed up It was his speed and his ability to bunt and his tireless waiting at the plate to make all toilers in the box pitch that had made him a great player He seldom swung at bad ball As soon as he slowed up, McGraw knew he would have to go if the Giants were to win the pennant He deep ly regretted letting, the gritty little ShortStop, whose legs had grown stiff in his service, leave the club, but sentiment never won any pennants
 "Al.'' he said to Bridwell, 'T'm go- ing to let you go to Boston Your legs will be all right eventually, but I've got to have a fast man now while you are getting back your old speech
 That's all right, Mac,'' replied Brid- well 'It's part of the game''
 He did not rave and swear that he had been double-crossed, as many players do under the same circum- stances. never heard BridweIl swear and never found any one else who did He had been playing for weeks when every time he moved it pained him, because he thought he might have g. share of the money that win ming a pennant would mean It was a staggering blow to him, this sending him from a pennant possibility to a hopeless tail-ender, but he took 1t gamely
 stuff he said
 And he did get some of the prize money The boys voted him a share,

Many time I have passed 8 catcher or good better to take chance on a pitcher, and then have had him make a hit just when hits were not at all welcome. walked a catcher once and had the pitcher shove the ball over first base his head out of the line he thought it was pursuing before it curved. In 1ucking he got his bat in front of the ball, a result he had never ob- tained with his eyes open.
 Once I started to pass Hans Wagner in a pinch to take a chance on the next batter, and was a little careless in throwing the ball too close to the plate He reached out and clapped it for a single Again the inside game had failed.
 Speaking pretty generally. most managers, prefer to use this inside vacancies in the big leagues right now for the man who is liable to steal second with the bases full.

HEATED AMNESTY DEBATE.

Mexico City, March S-There was heated debate in the chamber of deputies lasting until late hour, last night. on the question of the amnesty bill introduced by the provisional ad- fninistration The bill passed through it's preliminary stage and will again be taken up for discussion shortly
 The leaders of the opposition crit cised the government keenly for de- siring to offer an amnesty to rebels who had been guilty of incendarism and other forms of brigandage but Querido Moneno, the leader of the governmental party, declared that the government must pardon all and reconstruction.
 'fWe are, today, playing perhaps our last card for the nations future, g he concluded.
 Deputy F'ava1o, who favored the late President Francisco Madero, de- calred that the amnesty should be granted to political offenders only and not to robbers and bandits
 Deputy Rocque Gonzales Garcia praised the late President Madero and declared that the ideals of the revolution of 1910 must be fulfilled before peace could be restored to Mexico He added:
 There are 10000 victims of the revolution of 1910 crying for justice and the present government must full fill the promises for which that fight for liberty was made

MEXICAN PLOT
 TO FIRE UPON
 U. s. MARINES
Claimed Now That Late Presi- dent Madero in Closing Days of His Administration Tried to Stir Up Feeling Against Americans

Mexico City, March S-During the closing days of the Madero admins tration it is asserted that the late President Francisco L. Madero made strenuous efforts to incite anti-Ameri- can sentiment throughout the repub- lie and in order to prove this, Pro vlsional President Huerta's govern ment is considering the advisa bi1ity of making public the official telegrams and letters despatched by the late President
 The government, it is said, may all so publish the orders given by Ma dero to General Huerta, then com mander of the federal forces. These letters show, it is declared, that Ma dero instructed General Huerta to use dynamite for the destruction of the public and private buildings be- tween the national palace and the arsenal when the latter place was oc- cupied by the rebels under Felix Diaz.
 Among the other orders to have been given by Madero during the final moments of his rule is one in which 1t is said he. directed the officers of the Mexican gunboats lying in the port of Vera Cruz tofire upon the American marines at the very mo- ment when an attempt should be made to land forces from the United States war vessels, paying no regard to the expressed purpose of the American naval commanders merely to protect foreigners. The execu- tion of such an order would have meant the suicide of the Mexican naval forces as single shell from the battleship Georgia. then lying only 800 yards distant, would have been sufficient to destroy each of the Mex ican gunboats.
 The report is current that afew days before his capture Francisco Madero, in desperation, telegraphed to the state governors and jeffs po1ttfcos throughout the republic that the American marines had landed al Vera Cruz and that this foreign in vasion demanded the loyalty of all Mexican citizens
 The reported arrival of Alfonso Madero at Washington, where it is said the details of the former Ma dero conspiracy was developed, has not been overlooked by the Mexican cabinet, and it is said that the Wash ington government probably will be asked to exercise extraordinary pre- cautions in order to prevent profes- ed States from participating in the plans of fugitives who are declared to be anxious for revenge.
