Gustavo NIadePo. Who Was Executed
BY Order of Felix DiaZ, Today.

The ex-president and his brother Gus
tavo were sent this morning as pri-
soners to the arsenal, from which Felix
Diaz had bombarded the city for ten
days.
Soon after their arrival there Gus
tavo Madero was subjected to the
notorious fugitive Law by which he was
free to run under the rifle fire of his
guards He fell dead under their bull
lets.
There is some trepidation also as to
the fate which awaits the ex-president
and his cabinet because of the finding
of a list of those who ought to die
among the official documents of Fran
cisco Madero's government 1t is feared
this may lead to ugly reprisals
The cabinet it is believed VIII be
composed as follows, subject to the
ratification of congress:
Foreign Observation-Disclosures De La
Barra. ,
Finance minister-Carlos G. De-
cosic. -,
Minister of the interior-Alberto
Garcia Granados.
Minister of iustice-Rodolfo Reyes.
Minister of public Instruction
George Vera Estanol.
Minister of communication-Da
La
Later in the day considerable op-
position to the election of Huerta as
provisional president was in evidence
in the lobby of the chamber OF depu-
ties Although he has a strong fol-
lowing it was thought possible there
would develop friendly fight between
his partisans and those of Felix Dlaz
In any event it is believed the cabi-
net will include De La Barra, Mon
dragon. Reyes and De La Fuente.
Hundreds of American residents
and other foreigners returned today
from their residences around the
United States embassy to their homes
in various parts of the city. Scarcely
a house had escaped being hit by rifle
bullets and many of them hSd been
looted by mobs or soldiers.
Francisco Madero is to be removed
some time today under guard from the
national palace and lodged in one of
the military barracks of the city. He
was permitted to rest in one of the
bedrooms of the palace all night.
Since the first few minutes after his
arrest he has maintained a sullen
silence refusing to answer questions
and waving his questioners off with
his characteristic nervous gestures. He
also has refused to eat.
Jose Pine Suarez, the ex-vice presi-
dent. also spent the night under guard
in the national palace.
dero. brother of the deposed presi-
dent, was removed from the peniten-
tiary today and executed. 1t is pre-
sumed that this was done by order of
Felix Diaz, under the notorious fugi-
tive law.
Francisco Madero, the deposed
president, was taken under a heavy
guard from the national palace and
lodged in the arsenal. There he was a
prisoner of General Diaz in the very
place which for over a week he had
caused to be battered with cannon in
his efforts to subjUgate the rebel
army.
Had Francisco Madero succeeded in
defeating Diaz there seems little doubt
that bloody reprisals would have been
made.
''Those who should die is the cap
ton on an official MaderiSt document
found last night. In the list of pre-
scribed there are twenty-five names
of prominent men including Francisco
De La Barra. Jesus Flores Magon
Manuel Calero. Alberto Garcia Gran
ados and DR.. Vasquez Gomez
For some days De La Barra believ-
