Mexico City. Keb. 21. Porflrto Dias
i coming back not to power, with
the "Iron hand" In It old-time vigor,
but to spend the closing year of hi
life In the capital which he ruled for
almost a generation. The ending of
the enforced exile of the fornwr dic
tator is to he one of the first result
of the overthrow of Madero.
Ward was received from Paris that
within a short tlme.Ueneral Iia again
w ill be In hi private residence in Ca

the development of the new regime.
It was authoritatively stated that
the arrival homo of General IMas will

sary of the taking of Puebla by his
forces in 1S67. In the war of French
intervention. Thl day will be cele
brated in honor of General Dia.
Revival of the Old Regime.
The news that Porflrio Dial was re
luming to the land from which he waa
driven by Francisco Madero was not
difficult to believe after the scene
in the National palace today.
It was evident the men of the old
regime were again in the ascendancy,
and with the support of a grout num
ber of those who attained prominence
during the Madero rule and who. dis
gusted at the continued warfare, vere
ready to support anyone, even though
It he the old conservative element.
It was a busy day. It vu the day

Men went to the palace who had not ,p

went out of office, among them Gen
eral Samuel Garza Cuellar. who n
Diaz' chief of staff.
Men who had been political prison
ers were among those seeking an au
dience, all wandering during the pe
riod of waiting about the ancient ta
lons looking for changes.
They found one notable one and
that was the absence from the walls
of the portraits of Porflrio Man. Al
ready steps to remove the discarded
picture from the museum have been
taken in hand.
Felix Diaz was among the callers
and interested spectators at tho olh-
clal reception of the government com
missions. His only participation, how
ever, was that of a private citizen, a
role ho has assumed. He is not idle,
though.
Already he and close friends have
set In motion the machinery and tho
parry work for his political cam
paign, which, it is hoped by th-t new
administration, will be finished in a
short time.
Opposition Growing Stronger.
Acceptance of the new administra
tion outside the capital is not so gen
eral as was at finst thought. To tha
state of Coahuila Sonora and Yuca
tan, which from the moment of the
overthrow of Francisco Madero de
clared they were not in accord with
the new conditions, must now bearidod
part of the state of Oaxaca, wher? the
Serrano Indians have refused to rec
ognize thj government of Provisional
President Huerta.
The governor of Oaxaca is so
alarmed by the disturbed conditions
in the state capital that be ha asked
K-r reinforcements from Mexico City.

MADERO'S FATE MAY DECIDE
Military Move I Precautionary and
Do Not Commit Either Executive
to Policy of Forcible Intervention
In Republic.
Washington. Feb. 24. The Fifth
Krigade, Second Division, of the re
organised army, consisting of four In
fan try regiments, commanded by Krlg-
adicr Ceneral F. A. Smith, ha been
ordered to Clalvoston, Tex., to be in
teadlness to embark for foreign seiv
ice.
Thoro is no present purpose, ofil
clals say, of sending the troops from
Galveston to Mexico. The order I
simply one of the steps taken to have
the troop ready for any emergency.
In fuct, it la intimated that one of
the purpose Is to provide President
Wilson with the proper facilitie to
carry out nny plan ho may hava In
contemplation -regarding the .Mexican
situation: but the movement, of
course, does not commit him in any
way to a policy of forcible Interven
tion. Might Act if Madero la Shot.
A summary execution of Madero,
regarded as the constitutional presi
dent of Mixeco, and his constitutional
adviser without, due process of law
might possibly be interpreted as dein
onstrdllng the absence of proper rov-
ernment in Mexico and of the exist
ence of a practical state of anarchy.
according to tone of the administra
tion official.
However, it was positively stated
that there was no present Intention
of utilizing the armed forces of tho
United States to back up the attitude
of President Taffs administration, but
It w ill bo ifcft to President "Wilson and
hla secretary of state to determine
what shall be done.
Meanwhile, tha outgoing otlminlstra
tion regard It a a duty to assemble
a sufficient military and naval force
at the most convenient point of em
barkation available if the next admin
1st ration wishes to use it.
Where Troops Ar Stationed.
The regiments affected by ibU order
are the Fourth Infantry at Fort Creek.
Neb., and Fort Suelllng, Minn., the
Seventh at Fort Leavenworth, the

These troops will be in movement
within a few hours, as nearly a week
ago tha division commander, Maj.
Oen. Carter, was instructed to have

ate foreign service.
Some of the troops will begin to
arrive in Galveston Monday looming,
and the entire brigade Khould be
ready to embark, it necessary, on the
army transports Kilpatrlck,, Sumner

those vessels at Galveston..

A sufficient artillery force has al
ready been attached to the brigade
