Diaz Behind Revolt.

Behind the revolt, it is reported,
stands Felix Diaz, the mar who a year
ago today caused the downfall of Pres
ident Madero, a desperate battle in
this city and Madero's subsequent as
sassination.
Around the arsenal where Diaz start
ed his fight against Madero many fami-
lies have been ordered to move out and
on the roofs of their houses are mount
ed machine guns beside which Huerta's
troops slept on their arms all through
last night. Couriers coming into the
city from Guadalupe, a suburb four
miles to the north, brought word to
Huerta that the garrison there had re-
volted, paving the way for the en-
trance into the city of several thou
sand rebels.

Move Freely Discussed.

Senators and representatives dis.
cussed the situation, but no move was
made. Action probably will come first
from the house interstate and foreign
commerce committee, in the form OF
a bill to repeal the toll exemption pro.
vision.
Representative Adamson, chairman
Of the committee, probably will intro
duce the bill Immediately. He is
awaiting word from the president in
the matter. Although the repeal is
proposed in the face of a plank in
the Baltimore convention of the Dem.
ocratic party, the discussion of that
phase of the proposed reversal of pol.
icy Is not expected to be as extended
as the influence of the contemplated
action upon foreign relations.
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1914-02-12
All Approaches Guarded.

Federal troops Immediately were
rushed to Guadalupe in armored auto
mobiles and batteries were mounted
on the hills around the suburb, com.
manding every approach to the capital
in that direction.
The anxiety of Huerta was increased
by persistent rumors that $500 police
in the capital are armed with carbines
and ready to join the rebels whenever
they gain an entrance to Mexico City.
All embassies and legations were APP
prised of the situation and there was
tremendous excitement in the foreign
colonies. 1t was believed that the
vain efforts of Huerta to put down
the recurrent plots against him indi-
cate the extreme disfavor into which
the dictator has fallen with the people
and the present conspiracy was
thought to foretell the final downfall
of Huerta by disayections within in
conjunction with rebel attacks from
without.

Senate to Wait.

Senate Democratic leaders plan to
await action in the house before TAX
ing up the presidents suggestion, but
the forthcoming debate on the general
arbitration treaty with Great Britain,
which oon Is to come up in executive
session. undoubtedly will provoke dis
cussion on the subject.
That opposition to the repeal will
develop in the house interstate CON-
merce committee was indicated by

MIA, a member of the committee, who
said: I'VE are paying a dear price

int~eroceanic canals committee, who as,
serted, following the nounceme of
President Wilson's position, that he
proposed to fight against repeal of the
tolls provision to the last ditch, does
not anticipate any consideration of the
repeal by his committee until the mat.
