HUERTA TROOPS GUARDING CITY " Rumors of Impending Revolt in Mexican Capital. N0 PGATING TO DATE Reperts Are That Twenty-five Hun- dred Police Had Pledged Them- selves to Join Certain of the Troops In Uprieing Against Government. Mentso Oity, Feb. 8.—Traops guard- ed the palace, the arsenal and the ar- filteey darracks throughout the night &8 the result of reports that conspira- tors had planned a coup d’etat in the shape of a new mevolt in the city ogainst the government of General Huerta. For a time oonsiderable excitement ‘was oaused by the activity of the sol- dfers and by a report that an outbreak had actually oocurred in Guadalupe, a -swburb seven miles northeast of the oapital, where fighting was sald to be in progress. Telephone messages failed, however, to confirm the ru- mors of fighting. Reports about the capital were that $,500 police in the capital were in- volved in the plot and that they had pledged themselves to revolt with cer- tain of the troops. The beginning of the new revolt, ac- oording to the reports, was fixed for the anniversary of the beginning of the ten days’ bombardment of the cap- ftal by the rebels last year, which was followed by the death of Presi- dent Madero and the assumption ot the provisional presidency by General Huerta. Behind the revolt, it 1s reported, stands Felix Diaz, the man who a yeoar ago caused the downfall of Presi- dent Madero. Around the arsemal where Diaz made his fight agalnst Madero many families have been ordered to move out and on the roofs of their houses have been mounted machine guns. Huerta’s troops slept on their arms all night. PERISH IN BURNING TUNNEL Bandits Roported to Have Sent Thir- ty to Death.

These rumors are not credited by the raillway officials.

LITIGATION LASTS YEARS Carriers Appeal From Judge McPher son’s Decision Holding He Had No Power to Retain Jurisdiction Over Claims for Excess Charges. Kansas City, Feb. 9.—The ‘Missouri 2-cent passenger fare and maximum freight rate cases, after years of litl- gation, go back to the United States supreme court as a result of the signing of the railroad’s opplication for appeal by Judge Smith McPher- son of the federal district court.
