Washington, February 2S.--The ad-
ministration in two actions today
evinced it's belief in the stability r
the Huerta government of Mexic
the present at least. i q: =:
place, orders were sent to IL. -
commanders from California to Te
to release all of the Mexican lefG'.ees
whom they had captured ON the Amer
can side of the line This was done
because these prisoners, who are few
in number, can no longer be regarded
as rebels in view of. the success
revolution in Mexico. ~
In the second place. a safe conduct
was granted to Colonel De La Fuente and
the members of his party, now somewhere
in the vicinity by Juarez to proceed to
San Antonio where an important confer
ence is to be held between the Mexican
Emilio Madero Dead
The confirmation of the first reports
of the killing of Emilio Madero, the third
of the family to pay the extreme penalty
is regarded as step toward peace, re-
moving as it does a resourceful and in-
placable rebel leader.
From various quarters came reports
of the adhesion of rebel chiefs to the new
government. Checo Campos, one of Oroz-
CO.'S able lieutenants with 700 former
rebels. today entered Gomez palacio in
accord with and was escorted by federal
tronnS Consul falPpranhp1 from
the Durango that the local situation is
vastly improved, that the new admins
tration is very popular with the better
classes, who though heretofore holding
aloof from politics, now have determined
to cooperate with the provisional gov
ernment to restore order.
Though the six warshps now in Mex
lean ports will continue there for the
present. the tension has so relaxed that
Admiral Badger today was authorized to
resume the routine drills and maneuvers
with the big fleet off Guantanamo which
for the last week has been kept under
banked fires in readiness ror instant
derarturc Cor Messisl .ss.
The announcement Of the candidacy of
General Felix Diaz for the presidency,
though expected. has excited some in
terest here, as it is felt that the develop
nent OF his campaign will speedily dis
close the existance of any rival candi-
oates and apply the acid test to the exist
ing friendly compact between Diaz and
Huerta.
Another Brother Killed
No confirmation has been received Of
the death of Raoul Madero, another
brother. Conditions in Southern Mexico
Ambassador Wilson reports, seem rapidly
to be improving. The governor of Yucca
tan, brother-in-law to former Vice Presi-
dent Suarez, is reported to have advised
the Huerta government of his submission
as have the governors of Oaxaca, Tabasco
and Campeche.
The consul at Nogales reporting Nader
ist activities in Eastern Sonora, says n
band of rebels is gathering to oppose
the Huerta government. Reporting the
burning of 10 bridges on the Mexican
Central railway north of Torreon the
consul at Durango says there is rumor
that Campa's rebel band of 1900 shortly
will lay down arms.
Senator Poindexter today failed to have
the senate call upon President Taft for
q statement of what measures had been
taken for the protection of Americans in
Mexico.
Senator Cullom of the foreign relations
committee, insisted the resolution take the
regular course of being referred to his
committee. Senator Poindexter protested
that this meant the resolutions death was
assured. The Senate voted to follow the
course suggested hv Senator Cuilom Sem
ator Fall gave notice that he would ad-
dress the Senate ON the resolution to-
