MEXICO CITY
ARMED CAMP
Troops Bivouacked Are in
Streets Ready to Resume
Hostilities
>
ENEMIES OF MADERO
URGE HIS EXECUTION
By a Staff Correspondent of The
United Press.
MEXICO CITY. Via Galveston. Peh.
22.—Troops bivouacked in the streets
and the National Palace as full of
guards as a military fortress today
gave the capital the appearance of an
armed camp and even he who ran
could read that the Iron hand, re
calling the Porflrio Diaz regime again
is seeking a grip on Mexico.
None could doubt that under the
guise of a presidency has come a
military dictatorship that will rule
with lire and sword until peace is
compelled or the new power over
thrown.
Warned by notices of rebellion in
nine states. President Huerta is keep
ing the entire Federal army under
arms in the capital, ready, for any
emergency. Mexico City is to all in
tents under martial law and the os
tentatious display of troops is in
tended to enforce his declared policy
for peace and prosperity.
The nine known disaffected states
today were Coahuila, San Luis Potosl,
Sonora, Vera Cruz. Sinaloa, Puebla.
Vlctorino Huerta, Zacatacas and Mon
terey. The governors of several of
them have given formal notice that
they would uot accept the government
set up by Felix Diaz.
Governor Venostiano Carranza, of
Coahuila has rebelled with 1200 men
and is working with Emilio and Raoul
Madero, brothers of Francisco Ma
dero, wjio are at San Pedro. Jose
Gayou. ex-governor of Sonora, has of
fered Governor Mayorena of that
slate 3,000 men and 2,000,000 pesos
if he will lead a rebellion against
Huerta and Diaz, and the Sonora gov
ernor openly has repudiated the pres
ent government.
The most serious defection that
President Huerta faced today was
that of General Amhrosio Figueroa,
inspector-general of rurales. General
Figueroa has revolted and is now said
to be in Guerrero, with 10,000 men
at his bark, well-armed and with
plenty of provisions and ammunition.
A birds-eye view of the situation on
the fourth day of the Huerta-Diaz
administration shows much trouble
ahead, which though in all probability
may be overcome eventually, will
nevertheless delay the pacification of
the republic for awhile.
The Madero revolution was popular
throughout Mexico, because, the pro-]
pic then almost universally were
tired of the Diaz brand-of mailed fist,
hut this revolution finds a divided
people. There are those who are
«till loyal to Madero despite the ruin
that seized the country under his ad
ministration. What proportion of
the Mexican people arc arrayed
against the Huerta-Diaz regime, it is
Impossible to say at this time, but
the trumpetings already heard from
some of I he outlying governors show
that the opposition is at least suf
ficient to make President Huerta
realize he has a fight on his hands.
His pacification plan, If carried out,
will not be a matter of days.
\ pronounced feeling of uneasiness
hung over Mexico City today. The
people were confident that more
bloodshed is bound to occur before
tranquility is restored. On the un
guessed strength of the new rebels
depended whether civil war shaii tor
ture the country indefinitely, or wheth
or alt will be quiet after a brief cam
paign of relentless extermination.
So far there has been no notice
able tush into the capital of Zapata
and the other rebels who were told
by President Huerta that they would
be deemed outlaws and ruthlessly
slaughtered If they did not Immedi

the disposal of the Federal army
