Gustavo Madero. who was shot yes
terday, remarked on one occasion that
South America had been considered as
a refuge just before 1t became evident
that the government Of Poriirio Diaz
was weakening. Tho Maderos about
that time considered that they were
beaten and had made all arrangements
to buy property in South America.

arrest on the same charge.
General Huerta was on the point of
to leave the country to-day. lie was
however counseled to delay action by
close friends, who considered that Ma
dero might use his freedom to hatch
new plots.
The provisional President declared
he would place the case of AIadero be-
fore the Cabinet ministers Immediate
~ after they were sworn into Office.
Indications also pointed to the deleKa-
ton of lunacy commission to ex-
anime Madero and solve the problem
as to his final disposition.
Sonora N1adero and the other wo-
men related to the eX-President spent
the forenoon In worried speculation.
They were mystfied and deeply ap-
prehensive on account OF General
Huerta's refusal last night to permit
the departure of Madero and Suarez,
after all had been prepared for their
exile. The anxiety OF the women was
not relieved until shortly before noon,
when they were informed of the state
of affairs.
In the meantime Madero and Suarez
were confined in rooms which had been
assigned TO them in the National Pal
ace, and from which the guards never
were absent. They were in a state of
deep detection, as they had been in
formed of Gustavo Madero's death, and
were deeply concerned as to their own
fate.
nino rot Relieved.
When informed of the provisional
Presidents intention to permit the Cab
met to settle his fate. Madero appeared
not greatly relieved. He sat sullenly,
refusing to answer questions.
The Mexican capital was in a state
or uncertainty as TO the attitude of
Zapata and Gomez, leaders of the
southern and northern rebels.
The closest estimates obtainabIe of
the casualties during the fighting in

In most cases no official records were
made of the bodies which were gath
cred up. carted TO open spaces outside
the city and burned. Numerous entire
famtlies were wiped out by exploding
shells or by machine gun fire. The
great majority Of the dead were non
combatants. including a large proper
ton OF women and children.
These are the days of fugitives. The
families OF those who stood high in
favor with Madero. fearing retaliation,
have fled from the city.
Rumors of n clash between General
Huerta and Felix Diaz were discounted
to-day by the fact that the two had
frequent conferences regarding the
conduct of affairs. and often addressed
each other by their first names
Ambassador Wilson, who has taken
such keen interest in the establish
ment OF the new administration. was
In counsel With both General Huerta
and Dfaz. and was made the recipient
OF frank condolences by both.
The Cabinet ut first agreed upon BY
Huerta and Diaz was confirmed in all
respects, except in connection with the
ministry OF finance, in which Esuuiyal
Obregan wao substituted for Carlos G.
de Cosio. The names for the port
f"iios were suggested partly by Dius
and partly by Huerta.
Apparently none OF those closely con-
