The attitude which Zapata. the

regime is problematical. According to
member of the Madero household,
Zapata two days ago offered the serv-
ices OF 1000 of his followers to Pres
idcnt Madero for use against Diaz. 1t
had been stated that President Madcro
had previously sent to Zapata 100, 900
pesos for his help.
Huerta decided to-day TO send troops

throughout the republic is far from
ended. The report said that Emilio
Vasquez Gomez will persist in back

that Zapata will continue TO keep his

From most OF the state capitals
however, assurances OF loyalty and
cooperation with the Federal govern

RccOunts Story go Wilson.
General Hucrta, after all formal ar
rangements had been signed between
him and General Diaz, in connection
with Madero's downfall, went to the
American embassy and recounted the
story of the events to Ambassador
Wilson. The two chatted for some
time and expressed their mutual
pleasure in the conclusion of the bat
tie.
Hundreds of Americans and other
foreigners returned to-day TO their
homes i'll various parts OF the city.
Many found their residences wrecked
by shells. Scarcely n house had es-
capped rife bullets and many OF them
had been looted
General Banquet brought about the
arrest of Madero after he had made
"A speech 10 the crowd. in which he
said that the time had come when the
slaughter in the city must cease. He
had already detailed twenty men to
march TO the Presidents private offices
in the palace and guard the entrance
Colonel Riverol was placed in com
mand of this squad.
The Presidents first intimation of
the new turn of affairs came when he
walked into the hall OF the ambassa-
uorS. where lie saw Federal soldiers
standing with their rifles at ready"

Aladero thrust the rifle aside and seized
the soldier. In the struggle the gun
was discharged, the bullet flying harm
lessly away.
The struggle and the report brought
Madcros personal guards to his assist
tncc, but they offered Intellectual re-
sistancc 10 the soldiers. AT the con-
clusion of the brief encounter two of
the guards had been killed and six
others wounded among them Colonel
Riverol, who died 4 short time after
ward.
No Resistance to Capture.
The capture OF the members of the
Cabinet was effected without resist
ance. and there appears to lie excel
lent reason to believe that some of the
Cabinet ministers were involved in the
plot.
Francisco Madcro. Always OF Il ner-
vous disposition, appeared like a wild
man at the moment Of his arrest He
talked volubly about traitors" de-
nouncinG bitterly those who had
brought about his downfall Later
however he recovered his composurc,
and as he stood between his guards he
seemed 10 regard the matter more phil
osophically.
General IIuerta later in the day
called upon the executive officers or the
Senate and Chamber of Deputies to
summon SPECIAL session OF Congress
