 President

Washington. Feb. 21.--After @ pro- longed cabinet meeting today, Ambas- sador Henry Lane Wilson. in Mexico City was instructed to inform the Ifu- erta-Diaz regime that the United States would disfavor any action rep resetine serious consequences to Francisco Madero without due pro- cess of law
 These instvUetions were the direct result of the report that the deposed president would be sumarily eXecut- ed as was his brother Glstavo.
 It is regarded in diGlomatic circles as peculiarly fortunate that the effort to prevent the execution of Francisco Nadero should be made by Ambassa- dor Wilson. It is well known that 2 division of the United States army Mexican frontier. following a confer ence held here between the President and Ambassador Wilson. It is equally well known that this act of Ambassa- dor Wilson was regarded as very re- prehensible by President Madero, but the best Madero could get out of the administration was that American warships should be kept away from Mexican ports. The State Depart ment kept part of the compact until about six months ago when the Den yer and Des Moines visited Mexican ports to indicate that the United States did not believe the Madero ad ministration had been firmly estab lished
 No member of the cabinet would predict the course that would be fol- lowed if the appeal for a legal trial of Madero is not obeyed by the Huerta government. The policy of Secretary Knox. as shown in his denunciation of the barbarity practiced under the Zelays regime in Nicaragua is, ac- cording to another cabinet officer, di rectly and insistently favorable, to Francisco Madero
 It was announced that Galveston had been chosen as permanent base for the army transport instead of Newport News.
 On the heels of the complication arising over the treatment of Francis % Madero, trouble is declared to be brewing in Vera Cruz, the substance of an adroit dispatch from Consul Canada at that port in which the stat ed officials there refused to recognize Huerta. Ambassador Wilson says the work of restoring order in all departments and of cleaning up the city is being vigorously prosecuted. Madero and the ex-vice president are still inn prisoned together with some other generals. The ambassador states that the presence of the American naval Ves- sels in Mexican waters has had very beneficial effect. Consul Ed wards telegra3hed that conditions in Juarez and on the border are peace full.
 There is considerable speculation as to the attitude that will be taken by the rebel bands of Salazar, Rogan and Campa and other fragments of orozco's army towards the new gov ernment . Consul Hamm telegraphed yesterday from Durango that plot organized by some Maderistas soldiers and sore other malcontents to pllage banks and stores on the night of the nine teenth was discovered by the local au- thorities. The soldiers were disarm- ed and the ring leaders arrested. The Consul states that there had been no revolutionary movement of import ance.
