MADE MADERO QUIT
riBIDENT If MEXICO WAS MADE
TO RESIGN OFFICE
■■ ■ »
LONG CONFLICT IS ENDED
»
Wm Planned and Carried Out by
Gens. Huerta and Hlanquet.—
Huerta is Made President.—Ma-
dero and Ills Cabinet Were Made
Prisoners.
A dispatch from Mexico City says
Madero was forced out of the Pres
idency. TTp was nrrnsf.ed at the Na-
(inii.u I alace shortly before 3 o’clock
Tuesday afternoon by Gen. lilan-
quet, Gen. Victorians Huerta, com
mander of the Federal troops, was
proclaimed I’rovislonal President.
About the time Madero was seized
by Planquet, his brother, Gustave
Madero, the former minister of fin
ance, was arrested by Gen. Huerta,
who was dining with him in a public
restaurant.
All members of the Cabinet were
promptly placed under arrest, with
the exception of Ernesto Madero,
the uncle of the President, who held
the portfolio of finance. Ho was ap
prised of the intentions against the
Government and managed to make
his escape.
Notwithstanding the fact that
some definite action was expected
Tuesday, the coup d'etat at the pal
ace caused a sensation, and the ex
act status of affairs could not be as
certained for several hours.
The direct movement against .Ma
dero was struggling with the sol-
had been brewing since Monday and
which possibly existed with Mlan-
quet for a much greater length of
time.
The forces numbering 1,000 men.
which arrived late Monday, were
sent Immediately to the palace, os
tensibly to relieve the reserves there
The reservs were sent Into the field
An agreement between (Jens iilan-
quet and Huerta was reached Mon
day [light, but the first intimation
that Hlainiuet s men hud of the new
role they were to pla> was shortly
before the successful stroke was
made Hlanguet drew his men up in
order and delivered a stirring speech
‘This Inhuman battle must end." hi'
said "The time has come when
acme drastic means must be tak^n
t« stop a conflut In which father Is
killing son and brother is fighting
against brother. wh*-n nonrombat-
an’s are sharing th*- fate of war.
and all this bctauae of the caprice
of one man.’*
Mlamjuet then Issued orders for
the arrest of the President and as
signed a detachment to that duty
(Madero was soon a prisoner in his
own rooms One reason given for
the attitude of Gen Hlanquet from
the beginning was the* presence o\
bis son in the ranks of Gen Diaz
When the arrest of the President
and his ministers became known
crowds gathered In the streets thru’
which they paraded, shouted "vivas"
for Huerta and Diaz.
A conference was held between the
representatives of these two generals
and an agreement was reached
whereby the appointment of (Jen
Huerta to the provisional Presidency
was proclaimed.
Prior to this, however, Huerta’s
attempt to communicate with Diaz
precipitated one of the sharpest en
gagements of the day.
The tire from the rebel rifles and
in; chine guns was long sustained.
It was by no means certain at that
time that the coup wl^ch had been
carried out meant the end of hostili
ties. At 3:30 |n the afternoon the
cannonading was still' heavier than
before and the rattle of machine
guns was heard in various quarters.
At that time San Francisco street
was being cleared by Huerta as if
he were expecting an attack. A half
hour later the order to cease firing
was Bounded and the battle was over.
A few loyal members of Madero's
staff rushed Into the room when Ma
dero wae strugugling with the sol
diers and went to his rescue, but in
effectually. Capt. Garmedia, who
had Just been appointed chief of po
lice, advanced upon Col. Riveroll,
shooting and wounding him serious
ly.
Immediately there was an ex
change of shots and three or font
members of the President’s staff are
eaid to have been wounded. Just to
make the records clear, Madero has
been given reasonable time in which
to write his resignation. Failure to
do this, it is said, will result in his
being sent with his family to Vera
Cruz, where they will be given the
choice of outgoing vessels.
Gen. Delgado, who acted as the
emlwrary of Madero in the negotia-
tiona for an amriatice Sunday, has
been arrested. Huerta and his sup
porter* did not trust Delgado to
come Into their plan.
Twenty men of the 29th Infantry
of Blanquet’e forces were entrusted
with the duty of guarding the pri-
rate rooms of the President at the
beginning of the revolt In the pal
ace.
The arreet of Mahero took place in
the ball of the ambassadors. When
the Preaidsnt entered the room he
SOME UNGALLANT BOYS
THEY ATTACK SUFFRAGETTES
WITH SNOWBALLS.
♦
The Marchleg Ladies Would Have
Been Routed Had it Not Been for
Some Students.
The marching pilgrims bound from
New York to Washington in the
cause of woman suffrage had their
first hostile reception since their hike
began at Lieperville, a small village
to tne north of Chester, Pa., late
Monday afternoon when they were
snowballed and almost routed by a
crowd of small boys.
A crowd of cavalry from the
Pennsylvania Military college went
gallantly to the rescue, but the
young opponents of the movement
to rout and escorted “Gen.” Rosalie
Jones and her “army" to Chester,
Pa., where they spent the night.
Prominent women suffragists from
Wilmington, Del., joined with sympa
thizers in Chester in giving the pil
grims a reception of a nature which
did much to make them forget the
hardships on their march from Phil
adelphia.
Despite the snow covered ground
all of the army managed to walk the
entire fourteen miles from Philadel
phia and no desertions have been re
ported. The trim appearance which
had been maintained by some of the
younger marchers, however, suffered
severely. Miss Phoebe Hawn’s shoes
gave way under the strain before the
journey was half ended and the great
toe of her right foot was in evidence
when Chester was reached.
Miss Crowell, who insisted open
marching with painfully blistered
feet, has won her the sobriquet of
'Minerva th** Martyr," discarded
heavy tan marching shoes, which
haw* been the cause of her agony,
and appeared In a pair of light pumps
with high heels.

integrated at the end of th** day's

One soldier, over-excited by the
words of Hlanquet, pointed his gun
at the breast of Madero, who leaped
upon him. In the the struggle the
gun was discharged, but no one was
Jured.
The finest irony attended the ar
rest of Gustavo Madero, the brother
of fhe President, distinguished as a
politician, to whose doors most of
the evils of the Administration have
seen laid.
He had invited General Huerta to
uncheon at the Gambrinus, a popu-
ar restaurant. This' was a custom
with Gustavo Madero in winning fa
vor. Gen. Huerta, however, had in
vited guests unknown to his host.
In a room adjoining.he had station
ed a detatchment of Calpultepec
guards.
All were preparing to take their
seats, when at a signal from Huer
ta, the officer in command entered.
Pointing a pistol at Madero he an
nounced he was under arrest. At
the same moment soldiers, filing in
to the room, cleared it of all except

Senator Tillman's Reply and Col.
Ben Abney’s Letter Also Left Out
the Record.
On Saturday the State Senate
adopted the report of the judiciary
committee and ordered printed so
much of°the governor’s message on
Senator Tillman and the press as re
ferred to legislation. The rest with
the communications of Senator Till
man and Ren Abney and others will
not be printed.
It will bo remembered that the
convening of the General Assembly
was the signal for a. u.c^sagj n-o -i
the Governor, in which he abused
Senator Tillman for opposing' him
during the summer’s campaign,
charging that the Senater had allied
himself with the Gonzales brothers
In an effort to defeat Rlease.
Senator Tillman promptly let fly at
Governor B1 ease lu return, sending In
to the legislature a letter in which
he characterized the governor as a
“low type of man”. This communi
cation would have probably been re
ceived with little comment had not
the Senator seen fit to incorporate in
it certain allusions to the influence of
Col. B. L. Abney and the railroads
over the legislature that were not
considered by th** August body as al
together creditable to themselves.
Embrage was at once taken by the
Senate, and Tillman's letter was
made the occasion for the several res
olutions Friday an attempt to kill
th** resolutions demanding of Sena
tor Tillman proof of his charges of
railroad domination of the genera!
assembly and providing for a probe
into alleged railroad contributions to
the campaign funds and ascertain

jiasses, caused a flurry in the Senate

“The largest part <>f every woman’s

given to the thoughtful preparation

We agree pretty well with Mrs.
Soxle. If all husbands and wives
lived up to the rules she lays down,
there would be more real happy
homes and less bickering and strife.
Let every husband and wife rear

tice it for a month or two and see
how much brighter things would be

Some Facts About Mexico.
Many questions are being asked
about Mexlc* Just at this time.
Therefore a few pertinent facta about
that country will be of interest. Mex
ico contains 767^000 square miles.
It weald make twenty-nine states as
large as 3*uth Carolina. The popu
lation a few years ago was 11,81*,-
913. The bouadary line between it
and the United States is about 1,4 00
miles. The Rio Grande river forms
the boundary for about half that dis
tance.
Its length from Central America to
the northwestern limit is 1,090 miles
its greatest breadth is 7 50 miles; at
Vera Cruz it is about 540 miles und
at the narrowest place it is 140
miles. It has 6,08G miles of sea
C0t*st. It lies between (he Gulf of

. . .Madero's Fatal Mistake.
The New York World thinks * hat
Felix Diaz and his followers have set
back the clock of political progress
in Mexico for a generation. They
have not only discredited their own
country but they have worked harm
to every other Eatin-Ani'-rican r *-
public. Even Cuba and tin* Philip
pines must inevitablly suffer as a re
sult of this cut-throat rebellion.
The revolution that drove Porfor-
io Diaz out of Mexico was grounded
in definite principles of human liber
ty with which all free men could sym
pathize. When the new Madero gov
ernment was finally established the
fact was generally recognized that it
represented a step forward. Of the
validity of Madero's election there
could no question, and the worst
that could be said of his administra
tion was that it was more lliberal
and more humane than that of the
dictatorship.
When young Diaz and his cut
throats made their appeal from the
ballot to the bullet they indicted
Mexico's fitness for self-government
They are fighting for no principle,
merely for power and plunder; and
while the memory of this exploit lasts
the political stability of Mexico will
be under suspicion, no matter what,
may be the outcome of their rebel
lion. Their exploits will be a stand
ing invitation to all adventurers to
conspire against any stable govern-
meut. . -
When young Diaz was captured at
Vera Cruz by the Federal forces it
was the general opinion of the civil-
zed world that he should be dealt
with leniently. The strong protests
made against his execution were
needed by Madero and aa unworthy
ife was spared. It is now evident
that thla policy of mercy was a mis-,

The news from Mexiao City shows

advaimed to high position and turn
ed over to the tender mercy of his
bftterest enemies. Generals Huerta
and Hlanquet were in charge of the
Federal army fighting the rebels in
Mexico City when they betrayed Ma
dero into the hands of Diaz, who was
in command of the rebels, and the
one man who is responsible for the
terrible scenes that have been enact
ed in Mexico City during the past
two weeks.
Both Huerta and Hlanquet had as
sured Madero of their loyalty up to
the very time they betrayed him in
to tfie hands of Diaz, th** rt*b**l lead
er, who now share with them the re
sponsibility for the government of

short time afterward The capture of
the members of the cabinet was ef
fected without resistance and there
appears to be excellent reason to be
lieve that some of the cabinet mem
bers were involved in the plot.
Gustavo Madero, brother of the
president, also was arrested. He had
been denounced in many quarters
fince the first day of the Madero ad-
zniniS(trattion as an ajrchspolifiician
and had been charged with bong
fa'se (ouncilor of the jr*'sid**nt. A
few hours later General <le Dago
ami Go < ra"* Angeles, tw) teo'al
commanders, who were not in accord
with General Huerta’s plan were ad
ded to the list of prisoners.
Francisco Madero, always of a ner
vous disposition, appeared like a wild
man at the moment of his arrest. He
talked volubly about “traitors,” de-
nonucing bitterly those who had
brought qbout his downfall. Later,
however, he seemed to regard the
matter more philosophically.
Great curiosity had been aroused
by unusal activity in the national
palace and the arrival there of Gener
al Huerta with Gustavo Madero, one
of the brothers, of the president.
Hundreds of people gathered around
the doors of the building.
When General Huerta saw that the
populace was being held back by a
line of soldiers, he gave orders to let
them enter. The crowd poured
through the wide doors in a solid
stream until the court yard was
filled.
General Huerta then made a short
speach to the gathering, briefly out
lining the results of his action. He

the riflemen His last words we.e
“viva Mexico”.
The fate of ex-president Madero is
still in the balance. Preparations
had been made at mi’right for n s
departure with members of his fM li
ly into exile, but these were sudden
ly halted by orders from General
Huerta.
Senora Madero with her parts of
exiles, waited impatiently for more
than two hours at the station when
she was informed by ex-foreign min
ister Lascurain that the ex-president
would be “prevented from joining
then* on the journey”.
Senora Madero, weeping bitterly,
left the station and returned to the
city. The fate of Madero is uncer
tain. Huerta's order preventing the
departure of Madero gave rise to
many rumors and conjectures.

Along San Francisco street and in
other thyoroughfares of the down
town district, extending as far as
the big’ open square in front of the
national palace, tens of thousands of
people pushed their way back and
forth waving banners which, had been
iraprovised out of the first material
af hand and bn which were printed
the one word, “peace.”
Shouts of “Hurrah for Huerta,"
“hurrah for Hlanquet,’’ “hurrah for
Diaz,” “hurrah for Monragon,”
sounded everywhere throughout the
city. Diaz and Monragon were re
sponsible for all the tdouble through
which Mexico passed in the last two
weeks, and, yet, they, with the two
arch traitors who had betrayed Ma
dero were acclaimed heroes by the
fickle populuace.
