i ier isuiiiaier ti iniaiiue, an uncie,

late president,
-cial investigation into tlie
death of Madero and Suarez on
ifciturday night is to be begun
.t;onee, but the general belief
prevails that it will substan
tiate the official versions of the
occurrence which are that the
deposed president and vice
president were killed as a res
cue was attempted.
The fact that the bodies of
the two statesmen were recov
ered in the rear of the peniten
1iary was explained today by
the statement that a second en
counter occurred close to the
building.
' it Is said the automobiles ran along
a side road and that Madero and
Suarez Jumped out and were running
when they were caught between the
fires of the guards and the attacking
party, this accounting for wounds be
in Inflicted on them from different
directions.
Provisional President Huerta, and
other authorities here are earnest in
declarations that the government was
acting In good faith and that the death
of the prisoners was due to unfore
seen circumstances.:
Tension Thought to Be Relieved.
With the passing of Francisco Ma
dero, the general opinion prevails that
the tenseness of the situation has been
rnlievod. There is a marked tendency
on the part of all classes to accept the
new order of things. From various
parts of the country reports, have been
received telling of further adhesions to
the new administration. T
The morning newspapers herald the
new . era and prophesy Immediate
peace. and, the . early .resumption of
prosperous conditions. General Huer

the present, at least, the tupper hand
In the country., ,
A committee of followers of Zapata
arrived today to discuss arrangements
to bring about peace In the south.
Reports from Oaxaca indicate the
disaffected Indians there have been
placated.
Juan Sanchei Axcona, Madero's pri
vate secretary, was released from pris
on today.
.. The tragedy occurred Bhortly after
midnight Sunday morning. Madero
und Suares, who had been prisoners
in the national palace since their ar
rest on Tuesday, last, were placed in
un automobile, which was accom
panied by another car and escorted by
100 rurales under the orders of Com
mandant FrancUco Cardenas and Col
onel Rafael Plmlento.
With instructions nott o out-distance
the escort, the cars moved slow
ly. No Incident occurred until they
naa reacnea a poim near
tenttary, where In an open place the
guards' attention was attracted, ac-
eordlnir to the official version, to a
. groun of persons following. , Shots
were fired at the escort out of the
darkness. The rurales closed in and
ordered the prisoners out of the car,
Thirtv of the guards surrounded the
nrlsnners. while the remainder dis
posed themselves to resist an attack
About 60 men, some 'afoot and some
mounted, threw themselves upon the
detachment guarding the cars and the
exchange of shots lasted 20 minutes,
when the attacking party fled. The
dead bodies of Madero end Suares
were then found.
. The body of Madero fhows only one
wound. A bullet entered the back of

Huerta May Seek Recognition.
The extent to which recognition may
be extended by the United States to
the Huerta government haa not been
determined. This probably will de
pend largely upon recommendations of
Ambassador Wilson, who has been

The question is likely to be brought to

Ambassador Wilson In recognizing It
