Cabinet is Confirmed

The cabinet at first agreed upon by

all respects except in connection with
the ministry of finance, in which Eze-
quiel obregon was substituted for
Carlos G. de Cosio. The names for

by Diaz and partly by Huerta.

Skeptical Regarding Peace
Only the optimistic residents OF the
Mexican capital city pretend 10 be-
lieve that the substitution of General
TEuerta for Francisco Madero will re-
suit in the restoration Of complete
peace throughout the republic. It re-
mains to be seen how many of the
rebel leaders win accept the invita-
ton extended to them by Huerta to
join in an effort to restore normal
conditions.

Mexico City, Feb. 20.-The Mexican
capital was in a state of uncertainty
this morning in regard to the fate OF
the heads of the old administration,
General Huerta's order preventing the
departure Of Francisco Madero gave
rise to many rumors and coniectures.
Meanwhile the attitude of zapata
and Gomez, leaders of the southern
and northern rebels, is occasioning
anxiety.
Three Thousand Killed
The closest estimates obtainable OF
the casualties during the fighting in
the streets show that about 5000 per
sons were killed and 1000 were
wounded. These are not government
figures nor will the government be
able TO make any reliable calculation,
Many Non-combatants Ferished
In most cases no official records
were kept of the bodies which were
burned. Numerous instances are
known in which whole families were
wiped out by exploding shells or by
the penetrating fire of machine guns.
The great majority of the dead were
non-combatants, including a large pro-
portion of women and children.
Estimates as to the loss of proper
ty are necessarily inaccurate. There
is not doubt that the damage amounts
to many millions.
These are the days of fugitives.
The families Of those who stood high
in favor with Madero have fled from
the city. The wife OF the ex-president
has gone no further than their ranch
near suburb, but the other members
of the family are supposed to be in
Vera Cruz.

1t is said the eX-president was tc

Salinas before the attorney general o.
the republic, and it was declared thai
the charge was to be left pendinl
should he d" npt to return to th'
republic. Another report was tha
the government was considering th'
advisability of bringing him before !

executive session held this morning
the finance committe Of the house Of
Representatives considered the propos-
ed legislation giving the board Of
trustees Of the Las vegas land grant
power to invest its funds in project
for the completion of the irrigation
system north Of Greater Las Vegas.
The bill was drawn by a delegation
of 46 Las Vegas business men who
were in the capital early this week
| for the purpose of securing the pass
age of legislation which they declare
is necessary for the prosperity Of
their community and the betterment
Of the Las Vegas grant.
Don ugenio Romero, member Of
Of the borad of trustees Of The grant;
Herbert w. Clark and William ]. Lu-
cas-, president of the Las Vegas Com
mercial club, we're present at the
hearing and spoke in favor Of the bill.
Lieutenant Governor e. c. de Baea
a resident Of Las Vegas, bitterly OPP
posed the measure. He declared that
the business element in Las Vegas is
willing to sacrifice the patrimony Of
the school children of the grant in or
der to build an irrigation system. Mr..
de Baca made other remarks along
the same line. Evidently he has join
ed hands, heart and soul with Mr.
John D. W. veeder, another opponent
OF the measure.
1t is understood that the bill will
be introduced at tomorrow's session
Of the house. What effect the argu-
ments Of those favoring and opposing
the measure had upon the members
Of the finance committee is not known.
But it is believed there are enough
supporters Of the bill to pass it upon
its introduction.
Salary Bill Put of
Consideration Of the salary bill was
again postponed in the senate until
2:SO tomorrow afternoon and routine
business occupied the time Of that
body, Among other things the senate
passed resolutions approDrmting a
small sum Of money to pay the coun-
sci fees Of the four members Of the
house who were charged with bribery
in connection with the senatorial cleo
tion Of last year
Baea Speaks Up
The chief topic Of interest in the
house this afternoon was the resolu-
ton introduced Tuesday calling for
the appointment Of committee 10
audit the county contingent fund Of
81, 500 which was placed in the charge /
Of the speaker at the last session. 1t |
seems to be the general belief that the
resolution will be reconsidered and
tabled indefinitly. That he has been
tried in a crucible and found worthy
was the declaration OF the speaker be-
fore the house convened this after
noon.
"A man in my position" said Mr.
Baca, has many things to contend
with and the fierce light that shines
around the throne has nothing on
the light that beats around the speak
er's chair in the house Of represen-
ta:ives. There are those among the
members who are ever ready to cast
reflections on the motives and upon
the actions Of the speaker. He IS
damned in some quarters for every
thing that he does and IN others for
everything that he falls to do. It Is
easy for man to sit In his place IN
the house and criticize, but let the
same man occupy my position for
o few days and he win find that there
is something more than honor con
nocted with the sueakership. and that
