 were aided from Mexico City by the Cuban minister, and taken from Vera Cruz on Cuban gum boat. ,..-
 All of the Maderos claim they have positive proof that Gener- al Huerta ordered. the killing of
 the Mexican president. They were
 met at the dock by Evarista and Carlos Madero. who have been at- tending college, cone: at Cornell university, and the other at the Michigan Military academy. En- lilo and Gulio Madero, two broth-

 guised when the Huerta govern lnem had announced that they
 had been killed, are also, on the way to rejoin the family.

 but Francisco, the former pres idem and Gustivu were murdered

for the keeping Of all prisoners. s4
Mr.. Foley stated that he would make
