armed and placed under arrest by order of Huerta^ on the charg firing without orders. The finest irony attended the arrest of Gustavo Madero, brother of the President, distinguished as a politician at whose < most of the evils of the administration have been laid. He had invited General Huerta to luncheon at the Gambri a popular restaurant. This was a custom with Gustavo Maden winning favor. General Huerta, however, had invited guests known to his host. In a room adjoining he had stationed a det? ment of Chapultepec Park guards. All were preparing to take their seats, when, at a signal fi Huerta, the officer in command entered. Pointing a pistol Madero, he announced that he was under arrest. At the s< moment soldiers filing into the room cleared it of all except principals. Gustavo loudly protested against this indignity, but Gen? Huerta replied in a loud voice, condemning the Madero family. Up to a late hour the Vice-President of the republic, Jose P Suarez, had not been found. Detachments of troops were search for him. Ambassador Wilson summoned all the toreign diplomats t conference which was held at the American Embassy. Word came from the rebel positions early in the evening t General Diaz was preparing his troops to unite with Gen? Huerta HUERTAS STROKE SUDDEN AND SURPRISE TO MADER fi: .? I .. a .?.;? i a. I Mexico City, via Galveston. Feb. 18.?Francisco Madero i? prisoner in the National Palace, the city is in control of Gene Huert.% and the country is virtually under a military dictatorsl as the result of a sudden and unexpected coup d'?tat executed ?:30 o'clock this afternoon by a cabal headed by Generals Hue and Blanquet, with the sympathetic co-operation of most of t army officers in the capital. Details are difficult to obtain, but it seems that the plot to se: the government was worked out so carefully that when Huerta ga the word the whole matter was successfully accomplished with st?. ning celerity and effect, without, as nearly as can be found, t shedding of a drop of blood, or even causing more than a passi ripple of excitement. The only premonition came in the form of vague rumors, whi had been afloat since last night, that something big and unexpect was about to happen. Apparently nothing was known of what w impending by Madero or any of his chief advisers. At any ra Ernesto Madero, during a long conversation this morning with T! Tribune correspondent, gave no indication that anything aside fro the obvious elements of trouble was disturbing him. When the correspondent was at the palace, President Made was busy, but he could be seen through an open door in his priva office, conversing with several army officers and civilians. As nearly as can be figured out now, the plans of the men wl engineered what may be called the palace revolution did not tal in Felix Diaz. So soon as Huerta found himself in control, messe gers were dispatched to Diaz, under a white flag, to tell him wh; had been done and suggesting a conference. This is now going o So abruptly did the situation change that it is almost impossib to do anything except speculate on what it all means. What tl consequences will be, what effect it will have on Diaz's attitude, < who were the moving spirits, if any, behind Huerta and Blanque and various other features, it is not easy to understand. It will ni be surprising if later developments give much more interesting an V sensational revelations as to the real aim and purpose and wh? / turned things so topsyturvy. It may be said with a reasonable degree of assurance th; Madero's life is not in the slightest danger, although he is in th Palace and closely guarded. Indications are that Blanquet will be proclaimed President a interem until a new election can be called, although Huerta ca have the post if he desires it. Not a single hitch occurred in carrying out the plot in th National Palace. Nothing could have been easier. Presiden Madero was in his private office, with only two or three civilian and one of his aids, Colonel Riveroll. In the anteroom were tei or more other persons. It is not known whether Ernesto Maden or any other member of the Cabinet was in the Palace at the time. Blanquet, with several officers and a file of soldiers behind him strode into the office, throwing the big double doors wide open Madero looked up from a document he was signing, and ther jumped to his feet. Colonel Riveroll placed himself instantly between the Presiden' and the incoming soldiers and half pulled his revolver from it.? holster. One of the officers with Blanquet fired, and Riveroll fei to the carpet with a bullet in his shoulder. The* President was pale, but complete master of himself, all agree who saw what followed. His voice did not tremble as he said : "Let us have no shooting. What does this mean? What dc vou want, general?" Blanquet briefly explained what was going forward and said: "It is useless for you to resist, Mr. President. You must consider yourself a prisoner, but neither you nor any of your family shall be harmed. General Huerta and myself pledge our words that we have no desire to shed blood. "The necessities of the country demand that you retire. All will be done peacefully and legally. Please remain here for the present. It may be necessary to remove you elsewher-. later." Madero asked several questions. He wanted to know what they purposed doing with him, and whether General Huerta had taken a stand against him. He expressed regret at seeing Blanquet against the government. After a short conversation Blanquet left the President. A guard was stationed inside and outside the President's office, while other soldiers were placed in all the rooms and passages in the Presidential suite. g ?" moons I k!a9pg9e*g??a new *rs*araafttoibJak altMstp sea I tks* rea? sowsls werk gteg ?1 arly.
