Be at ease, all the masters have done in the couple days is bound to react and create a reversion of sym- thy not only for me and my comrade, Giovannitty, but also to crown all your efforts with success.” Militiamen Guard Jail.

Washington, Feb. 1.—The bill pro- vlding for an increase in the salary of United States Marahal Hawley of the district of Copnecticut was taken up pr a sub-committee of the house com- mitfes on the judiclary yesterday. ' ¥ provides that the salary of the marshel ghall be increased from §2,000 to §3,000.

Representative Webb, chairman of the sub-committe¢, said after the meeting yesterday that while the com- mittee might be willing to increase the ealary of the marshal to $2,500 he would not hold out much hope that a bill increasing both the salary of the district attorney and the marshal would recefve favorable consideration.

THE REVOLT IS SPREADING for Provi nal President—Madere’s Cabinet Holds Speocial Seseion. Mexico City, Web. 1.—It is the gen- eral belief here that the Madero gov- ernment faces a crisis. The president and members of the cabinet now ad- mit that the rebellion headed by Em- eliano Zapata has grown to such pro- portions as to make it the most for- midable menace yet faced by the pres- ent government. Cabinet Holds Special Session. The eenduct of the campaign against the Zapatistas, now operating over a wide area, and the uprising at Juarez last night, were discussed in a special cabinet meeting today. The president wag not willing to admit that the mu- tiny of troops at Juarez was directly comnected with the Zapatistas rebel- lion, and it was agreed that Pascural Orozco and 408 men whom he has been ordered to take from Chihuahua to Ju- arez would be sufficient to restore or- der at that point. Due to Misunderstanding. The immediate cause of the mutiny was a misundertanding of orders, ac- cording to Abrahama (Gonzales, minis- ter of the interior. The minister said of the rurales, but to do so very grad- uaily. Instead of this being done, T0 were mustered out at one time. Minis- ter Gonzales believes the post com- mender misinterpreted Orozco’s or- ders, “Not Serious,” Says Madero. “That affair is not particularly seri- ous,” said Madero. “kt was a disagree- able incident, but the rebellious troops are fighting under no special banner.” President Madero expressed to an As- sociated Press representative his con- fidence in the loyalty of Orozco and his ability to deal unaided with the sitvation in Juarez. He regarded the importance of the incident at Juarez as exaggerated. Port of Entry from United States. To unofficial Mexico the significance of the Juarez revolt lies in the fact that insurrectionists have gained a port of entry from the United States, the identical thing for which Madero fought for so many weeks, | Madero Denounced and Gomez Named | Orozco was instructed to discharge 300 | Disguise Worn By McManigal DYNAMITER LEAVES INDIANAPO- LIS WITH SECRECY, BOUND FOR LOS ANGELES Searetary Morrison of American Feder- | ation of Labor Testifies Before Grand Jury Regarding McNamara Fund, | Indianapolis, Ind., Feb, Ortie Mc- Manigal, the confessed dyramiter, who has been here several weeks aiding the federal grand jury in its investigation of an alleged nation-wide dynamite conspiracy, departed secretly for Los Angeles yesterday, adcording to fed- | eral officials tonight.
