FATE OF MADERO
NOT YET KNOWN
Old Administration Families
Are Preparing to Go
into Exile.
TROOPS DISPATCHED
Against Another Set Of Rebels
and the End is Not in
Sight.
lRy Assoclated Press.l

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 20.-The Mexl-
can capital was in state of uncer-
tainty today in regard to the fate Of
the heads of the old administration.
Gen, Huerta prepared an order for
the departure OF Madero, giving life
to many comments and conjectures.
In regards to as much as can be OBJ
tainable OF the casualties during the
fighting last week it Is shown that
about 5000 persons were killed and
1000 wounded. These are not govern
ment figures nor will the government
be able to make any reliable calcu-
lations, as no official records were
made of the bodies which were
gathered up in an open field outside
the city and burned.
The activity OF the followers of
Zatata has, been turned against the
new administration. A small force of
rebels was reported today in the
neighborhood of the capital, and
troops We're sent out against them.
Numerous instances are known in
which whole families were wiped out
by the exploding of shells and by
the fire of the machine guns during
the fight in the streets. The majority
list of the dead was known to contain
a large proportion of women and chill
dren. Estimates as to the loss Of
property are inaccurate. There is no
doubt that the damage amounts to
many millions.

SUFFRA GE PARADE VIII
ECLIPSE THE INAUGURAL
Parade and Be the Greatest
Ever Held in the City
of Washington.
ALMOST ALL STATES
OF the United States Will Be
Represented in Large
Numbers.
(speclal 70 me Telegram. !

WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. 30
Within two weeks of the Inaugural
ton of President Wilson everything
indicates that the parade of the suf-
tragedies, to be held on March 8,
will be of far greater interest to the
people generally than will the inau-
gural parade following the tax
ing of the oath of office by Presi-
dent Wilson.
Not only is the Suffrage parade to
equal the inaugural parade in the
number of persons who viii partici-
pate and the length Of the line, out
1t will consist OF a series Of novelties
in the parade line which have never
been witnessed here before and
which promises to draw a larger
crowd to witness 1t than even the IN
auguration parade will draw.
Practically every state in the
union Will be represented in the
Suffrage parade, while special floats
will represent different occupations
in which women are successfully en-
gagged and following each of these
floats there will be large number
of women who are engaged in the
pursuits represented by the respect
i've floats.
In beauty of coloring, in variety
of costumes and in the number of
participants it is believed the Suf-
frage parade will overshadow the in
augural parade to an extent never
before known in the national CAPT
tai.
At least 1000 of the members of
the Marine corps who were to have
participated in the inaugural parade
will not be here for that occasion,
having been ordered to Cuba to be
in readiness in case an invasion OF
Mexico should be deemed necessary.
1t is not at all improbable that the
cavalry from ut. Myer may be or
- 1900.

II other places, there has been no pro-

citizens Of Harrodsburg and Mercer
county, augmented by at least ore
hundred automobiles md a vast num-
Der of visitors from ether counties,
had cOngregated at the station to
await the arrival Of his train. They
formed triumphal procession, pre-
cedeG by a brass band, ard marched to
Opera House, which though a struc-
ture OF considerable dimensions, was
crowded to its capacity, all anxious to
show their appreciation of the great
honor conferred upon Judge Hughes.
Judge Charles A. Hardin acted as
Master of Ceremonies, and in the hap
piest manner voiced his own and the
appreciation of his home people at the
great honor which had been conferred
upon their fellow townsman. Among
the speakers who voiced the pleasure
of their various localities upon the oc-
casiOn was Hon. James E. Mulligan of
Lexington, a lifelong friend and adj
mirer of Judge Hughes, Hon. Robert
G. Evans of DanviIle, Hon. John G.

marks in appreciation of the honor
rendered him.

crowd repaired to the old Presby terian
church, where an elegant luncheon had
been served. Messrs John M. Farra,

The selection of Judge Hughes for
this position is considered a master
stroke in behalf of Hon. A. o. Stanley
for the U. S. Senate, as Judge Hughes
has long been his uncomprising and
ardent supporter. Judge Hughes ap-
pointment has perhaps given more
general satisfaction than could the ap-
pointment of any other of the appIi-
cants, there being feeling abroad
