Mexico City, Feb. 20.--That Fran.
cisco Madero win get out of Mexico
without having to face an official in
vestigation for one thing or another
now seems improbable. Already he
has been charged with the RESPONSE
.bthty of the death of Colonel Riveroll
who he is alleged to have shot at the
time of his arrest in the palace.
The committee of deputies has asked
that Madero be forced to account fol
STnoneys expended in his administra-
ton. The members called on Huerta
this afternoon. and asked that Madere
be held responsible for the depleted
condition Of the treasury.
The last details OF tho organization
OF the new government were completed
at 1 o'clock this afternoon, when the
cabinet took the oath in a room In

commander Of the post.
Preparations were ma lie last night for
the departure of Madero and family via
Vera Cruz. but at midnight, they were
suddenly halted by order of Huerta,
who feared the ex-president would use
his freedom to hatch new plots.
Huerta became provisional president

MANY FAMILIES FLEEING.
Many of those high in the Madero
administration and their families are
fleeing from the city.
Only the most optimistic residents
of the Mexican capital pretend to be-
lieye that the substitution of General
Huerta for Francisco Madero will re-
suit in the restoration OF peace
throughout the republic. 1t remains
to be seen how many of the rebel lead
ers will accept the invitation extended
to them by Huerta to join in an effort
to. restore normal conditions.
It appears to be taken for granted
