Nothing is as yet known co
cerning the fate that awai
former President Madero ai
his cabinet. Ugly reprisals a
feared because of the finding
a list of "those who ought
die" among the official doc
ments of the Madero gover
ment.
Francisco I. Madero, the d
posed President, was taken u
der a heavy guard from the n
tional palace and lodged in tl
arsenal. There he was a pri
oner of General Diaz in the vei
place which for over a week 1
had caused to be battered wii
cannon in his efforts to su
jugate the rebel army.
Had Francisco Madero su
ceeded in defeating Diaz the
seems little doubt that bloo<
reprisals would have been mad
