ed the message Of peace to General
Huerta last night. AS soon as Dia2,
through Ambassador Wilson, agreed
to the terms the word was sent to
the national palace. When the crowds
In the street learned tho part the
American government was playing,
the popularity Of Ambassador Wilson
and Americans was instantaneous.
The friendly feeling toward Ameri-
cans was further shown during the
day In q demonstration before the
American embassy. General Huerta
and Diaz met there with Ambassador
Wilson and pledged themselves to
stand shoulder to shoulder In the
work of reconstruction. A crowd gath
cred before the embassy and the

ed.
It was reported this afternoon that
in addition to the banishment OF Fran
cisco Madero and the possible exeeu-
ton OF his brother Gustavo. it was
likely that the vast estates OF the
Madero family would be confiscated
by the government. The family
owns thousands Of acres Of land
stocked with cattle, and the combin.
ed wealth OF the family runs into mil
lions.
Marco Hernandez brother Of the
deposcd minister Of the interior, was
shot and killed on the street today
when he shouted viva Madero.', A
mob, which included several rurales,
had demanded that Hernandez shout
viva Huerta." and when he ignored
their demands he was speedily shot.
The building housing Madero's Off
cial newspaper was later wrecked but
this outbreak was quickly put down
and caused but slight disturbance.
The troops are in complete control
of the city. Orders were issued to
shoot looters on sight.
Northern Rebels.
1 Ell PASO, Texas Feb. is. The reb-
lei chieftains in northern Mexico, led
! BY General Inez Salazar, Will remain
loyal to the provisional government
proclaimed by Emilio vasquez Gomez
at Palomas. This has been definitely
decided, according to advices today,
which add, however, that no move
ment will be made by Salazar's army
until the attitude of General Victor
1 iano Huerta and the provisional gov
ernment towards Salazar and Gomez
lis made clear.
!. 1t is stated here by Orozco rebels
that Col. Pascual Orozco, Sr.,. heading
Ia strong force at Nuevo Laredo, will
i refuse to accept the Mexico City pro-
lvisional government. All advices in
ldicate that new revolt against the
i authority Of Huerta and Diaz is al.
j ready forming throughout the entire
4 republic and that the former friends
I Of Madero are taking the initiative.
i These advices will greatly compli
cate the situation resulting from
4 Madero's overthrow. Many believe
i here that it will make almost hope
!, less the task of Huerta and Diaz in
. restoring order throughout the entire
4 republic Salazar and his associates
If they united, would constitute a
4 formidable force which could only be
\ subdued by an army vastly superior
in numbers Even If defeated in reg
. Iular warfare, the rebels could con
Etinue a guerilla warfare for years.
