JF jpx ' 6 MEXICO CITY IN HANDS OF REBELS Madero and Cabinet Fortified in National Palace?Army Revolts; Bloody Fights. Mexico City, Feb. 9.?President Francisco I. Madero, with his ministers and a strong detachment ot' loyal troops, is fortified in the national palace to i *1111, JUi iicowu iTiautiu aim v/iuers of the cabinet embraced one another and congratulated themselves and the President on what they called the new turn of events. Those who have observed affairs closely point out that General Diaz, who escaped beincr shot summarily following the failure of the Vera Cruz revolt, can now expect no clemency, but must fight to the death. There is no question that Diaz is straining every fiber to depose Madero, and with the large forces at his commend, both within the city and outside, it is not likely that the present revolt and the rsing ...:*L i. 1 r11 i wiuiiu uie uapuai \\ 111 ue suppressed easily. The army rose in revolt in Mexico City today, took possession of the public buildings, i shot down federal adherents in the streets, realeased Gen. Felix Diaz, leader of the Vera Cruz revolt, from prison, and. falling into line under his banner, practically captured the Mexican capital. i Francisco Madero, President of the republic, and members of i his cabinet took refuge in the national palace, where they were besieged, but, with some loyal troops at their backs, succeeded in defending the palace from the . - saults of the revolutionists. Madero's family has taken refuge in the Japanese legation and tonight the President is making a fight, desperate in its efforts, against what appears to be enormous odds, for retention of his power. The day was marked by four separate engagements, the most sanguinary of which took place in front of the national palace. But the most important was that which terminated in the formal surrender of the trroops in tin- artillery barracks. It is believed that not less than 20(? people were killed in the fighting. Among the number was Gen. Bernardo Reyes, Diaz and ex-secretary of war. The mutinous troops were led by students of the military pchoo! pt T'alpam, a suburb. X niprht, while Gen. Felix Diaz, with a large majority of the regulars behind him, has practical control in the capital. In several bloody encounters today the President and his supporters succeeded in defending themselves against the rebels, and, notwithstanding th et'act that the troops in large numbers are in a state of revolt which carried all before them today, there was an appearance of genuine optimisim at the palace among Madero and his ministers. To all parts of the republic madero telegraphed reassuring news, which he and his cabinet seemed to believe. The state governors and military commanders were assured of the loyalty of the army and that tranquility had been restored. To a representative of the Associated Press President Madero said the faculty with which the. new revolt had been suppressed was only another indication of the strength of the government and the loyaltv of ii ?...

It is said that the government -tands alone, but that is not true. The government has the support of the people. There will be no more temporizing; we are going to use the iron hand." Early in the day, shortly after the first outbreak occurred Madero declared martial law throughout the city and announced that he would ask Congress to authorize a suspension throughout the republic. Gen. Huerta was named as post commander on account of the wounding of General Viliar. In the belief that the government had scored an easy victory, Foreign Minister Lascu LYNCHED IN YARD OF COURT HOUSE t Negro Burned to Death at Houston, Miss?Second Crime in Two Days. Houston, Miss., Feb. 8.? Whiel a court stenographer took his testimony, Divil Rucker, a npimv 20 vp:irs old. todav ill I the presence of 1,00 Opersons , [confessed to the murder of a white woman, was condemned | to death, and, while the sheriff I and his deputies looked on, ! powerless to act, was chained to a steel pump in the court house yard, oil soaked wood was piled about him, the match was applied and the body was incinerated. A member of the mob herd four shots into Rucker's body before he died. His ashes were gathered up and carted away and the crowd dispersed. The lynching was the second in two days and followed the I killing of Mrs. J. C. Williams, ! who was clubbed to death here at her home in the day time Thursday, her body being i thrown into a pit under the houes after it had been striped of a diamond ring and other ; jewelry. Andrew Williams, a ! negro, was first arrested charged with the crime. He was j taken from jail by a mob and h mged Friday. The same: ! night Rucker, an employe of Mrs. Williams' father, was takj en into custody and was hidden ! in a dwelling by the s heriif. Early today the mob ferreted ! out the hiding place, took the negro from the oflicers, who ' i were placed under guard, and cletermined to give Rucker a pm>1 ic iriai wnnoui oinciai mI tereterence. He was led down < Hie street to a convenient open ! i spot, the court s' lographer , was summoned ar i an opportu-. ! uit.v was given the negro ti tell ' his story. He was quizzed for | two hours. He declared theI negro previously lynched was' i guiltless. He told in detail of I entering the dwelling, of asking ' Mrs. Williams for money and I 1 being refused, of choking and I beating her to death. District Attorney Knox appealed to the throng to forego its vengeance. The crowd listened rehpectfully but proceeded with its preparation to ex- , ecute the prisoner. | HOW TOM WILSON BECAME WOODROWj Full Name Was Too Long?New Pdesident Knows Nothing of "Thomas" Appearing on Invitations to Inauguration. Princeton, N. J., Feb i>.? President-elect Wilson spent the day at home. He remained indoors, though there were very i few visitors. When the correspondents called for their usual conference he asked to he excused. The report that invitations to the inaguration were engraved "Thomas Woodrow Wilson" instead of "Woodrow Wilson" as the goveronor has long been : J officially known was brougkht to his attention, but he sent! word that he knew nothing abou the change. The family name of Mr. Wil-1 son's mother was Woodrow and j when a youth he was anxious to use his middle name as a com-1 pliment to her, "Thomas Wood- ( row Wilson," he has often re-; marked since, makes "too big a mouthful," and to write "T. ! Woodrow W ilson " was awkward, so he dropped the first name altogether. All documents which the governor has :. ^ . 1 ! ? v * . f ? i signeu in .\ev\ .jersey simpjy read "Woodrow Wilson." i They marched to the prison to which Gen. Felix Diax had been transferred for safe keeping, and released him. Gen. Bernardo Reyes was also freed from the Santiago military prison, there being no resis! tance in either quarter. At 8:^,0 o'clock the first en-! counter with loyal trroops oc-! curred in front of the national | ; palace, and General Reyes, i whose long record as an army officer was broken little more than a year ago by a farcical revolt. was instantly killed by a bullet through the head. , There is no better medicine made for colds than Chamberlain's Cough ' Jtemedy.
