WORST FATE is EXILE.

Washington. Feb. 2l.-Francis-
Of Mexico. viii not he railroailed
to jail, thrown into q mad house
or slimmastly executed by Pro-
vtsi0nal President Huerta, accord.
ing to reports from Ambassador
Wilson. Madero, the ambassador
reports, will be given q fair trial
and possibly the worst fate that
awaits him is exile.
Secretary Knox, with the ap.
proval of President Taft, instruct. d,
ed Ambassador Wilson to convey
to Huerta in diplomatic terms the
intimation that the United States
seriously objects to . summary
execution or sentence OF Madero.
1t is not felt here that the former
president will be put out Of tho
way for crimes, which are purely
political without a fair open trial.
This view was made plain to
Huerta and the fact is not con.
ccaled that the United States
looked with disfavor upon the
shooting Of GustavO Mader0, the
presidents brother.
The. administration's attitude
toward the provisional govern
ment was much discussed At q
cabinet meeting. Taft and Knox
never believed, 1t is said, that
Mader0 was . strong president for
the republic, as shown by the
revolution.
1t is believed. however, that he
displayed many human traits and
he is entitled to a hearing. They
take no particular interest, other
than one OF humanity, In what is
done with Nfaderp, it 1t u done in
legal fashion. ,,,f

The return Of Vascques Gomez, VIII
announced his claim to the provision
