"~ PRESIDENT MADERO IS FORTIFIED IN PALACE SImnndedbyHishfinistu:_amlnForceofLoyaleopl— Several Bloody Encounters Between Madero’s Supporters and rebels—General Bernardo Reyes Killed After Being Released From Military Prison—Many Spectators, in- cluding Women and Boys, Among the Killed and Wound- ed—Madero Takes Command of His Forces But is In- duced to Seek Refuge—President Optimistic That Revolt Has Been Suppressed—Number of Dead Reported to be 250—One American Wounded. = Mexico City, Feb. 9—President Fran- cisco Madero,’ with his ministers and a strons detachment of loyal troops, is fortified in the national palace tonight while General Felix Diaz with a large majority of the regulars behind him has practical control in the capital. In several bloody encounters today the president and his supporters suc- ceeded in defending themselves against the rebels, and notwithstand- ing the fact that the troops In large numbers are in a state of revolt which carried all before them today, there Was an appearance of genuine 'optim- ism at the palace among Madero and his ministers. Madero Says Revolt Is Suppressed. To all parts of the republic Madero telegraphed reassuring news which he and bis cabinet seemed to believe. The state governors and military com- manders were assured of the loyalty of the army and that tranquility had been restored. To a Tepresentative of the Associatea Press President Madaro said the facil- ity with which the new revolt had been suppressed was only another in- dication of the strength-of the govern- ment and the lovalty of the army. Pointing from a window in the palace to a mob, for the most part of boys carrving the national flag and crying vivas for Madero, the president said: “Will Use the Iron Hand.” “There you can sce the,people are with us. It is said that-the govern- ment stands alone but that -is- mot true. The government has the sup- port of the people. There will be no more temporizing, we'Te going to use the fron hand.” Early in the day shortly after the first outbreak occurred Madero declar- ed martial law throughout the city and announced that he would ask con- gress to authorize a suspension of the guarantees throughout the republic. General Huerta was named as post commander on account of the wound- ing of General Villar. Diaz Must Now Fight to Death. In the belief that the government had scored an easy victory Foreign Minister Lascurain, Ernesio Madero and others of the cabinet embraced one another and congratulated them- sclves and the president on what they called tno nev. turn of events. Those who have observed affairs closely point out that General Diaz, who escaped being - shot summarily following the failure of the Vera Cruz Tevolt, can now expect no clemency, but must fight to the death. There is mo question that Diaz is straining every fibre to depose Ma- dero, and with the large forces at his mmand, both within thé city and outside, it is not likely that the pres- ent revolt and the rising within the copitai wiil be suppressed easily. Madero and Cabinet Besieged. The army rose in revolt in Mexico City today, took possession of the pub- lic buildings, shot down Federal adhe- rents in the streets, released General ¥elix Diaz, the leader of the Vera Cruz revolt, from prison and, failling into line under his banner, practically cap- tured the Mexican capital, Francisco Madero, president of the republic, and the members of his cab- inet took refuge in the national palace, where they were besieged, but with some loyal troops at their back, suc- ceeded in defending the palace from the assaults of the revolutionis: Gen. Diaz Leads Rebels. Madero's family has taken refuge in the Japanese legation and tonight the president is making a fisht, desperate in its efforts against what appears to be enormous odds for retention of ihs power. General Diaz, who is the nephew of th edeposed president, Porforly Diaz, now zt the head of 2 majority of the @l troops, including most of the artillery, and is in possession of the arsenal in the city and the powder works nearby. Madero Relying on 1,000 Men. Madero is rely General Bianquet, who has been sum- moned from Toluca, forty miles distant but Blanquet has only a thousand men under his command, and the rebels are confident of defeating him, should he Tefuse to join in the movement of re- volt. The day was marked by four sepa- rate engagements, the most sanguinary of which took place in front of the na- tional palace, but most important was that which _terminated in the formal surrender of the troops in the artillery barracks. Gen, Reyes Among Killed. 1t is belleved that not less than two hundred persons were killed in the fghting. Among the number were General Bernardo Reyes, a strong ad- herent of Porforio Diaz and an ex- secretary of war. The mutinous troops were led by the students of the military school at Tlalpam, a suburb. They marched to the prison to which General Felix Diaz had been transferred for safe keeping and released him. General Bernardo Reyes was also freed from Santiago military prison, there being no resist- ance in either quarter. Mutineers’ Ranks Swell. To the army of the mutineers quick- 1y came portions of the first cavalry, twenty fourth cavalry and _twentieth infantry. General Manuel Mondragon, retired, was in command, but gave way to Generals Diaz and Reves, At 8530 oglock the first emcounter with the loyal troops occurred in froni of the national palace, and General whose long record as He was Kkilled Instantly by a bullet through the head.

STATE GEOLOGICAL AND NATURAL HISTORY SURVEY. Fifth Biennial Report Has Been Issued—Plans For Futurs The commissioners of the state geological and natural history survey of Connecticut, of which President Flavel S. Luther, of Trinity college, is the secretary, have submitted to Govenor Baldwin their fifth biennial report. The report says: undertaken excepting an Investigation of the water re- sources of the state, carried on in co- operation with the United States geolozical survey. It seemed desir- | able for many reasons to enter upon that investigation at the present time. United States reological survey ready to co-operate in_such in- vestigation appropriating from the United States treasury an amount equal to that which was appropriated from the state treasurv. In the two vears endinz June 30, 1913 four thousand dollars ($4,000) will have been expended on that work: two | thousand dollars from the state of Connecticut, and two thousand dol- llars from the United States. It has | seemed specially desirable to prose- | cute that investigation at present, ince, in recent years most of the large towns in Connecticut have been reatened ® with water famine. The | consumption of water for| | domestic and manufacturing purposes | |is rapidly increasing. The available | supply of coal tends to exhaustion, and the dimipished supply must mean in | | the near future a considerable increase | in cost. It is evident, then, that in the | near future our manufacturing indus- | tries must be forced to depend more | | largely upon water power. It is be- | lieved, also, that irrigation is destined | to play a large part in the future de- velopment of the agriculture of the state of Connecticut. The average rainfall in Connecticut is, indeed, sufficient for agricultural use; but our farmers often suffer heavy losses from occasional drouth, and these losses might be averted by judicious provision for irrigation.”” In referring to the plans of the commissioners for the next two years the Teport says: “We accordingly earnestly petition the general assembly to appropriate, for the ensuing biennial term, $1,000 for administrative and miscellaneous expenses, and $3,600 or such part of that sum as the United States geolog- ical survey may be able to duplicate, for co-operative work in the investi- gatlon of water resources. 5 In accordance with this plan, it Is proposed that no new work on the general lines of geology, hotany or zo- ology be commenced during the ensu- ing - biennial term. Work which has been commenced will be pushed for- ward towards completion as rapidly as ossible, and bulletins which have ccn or which may be completed will be_published” as_speedily as practi- cable. The appropriation of ~$1,000 for administrative and miscellaneous expenses will pay the salary of the superintendent, and necessary travel- ing and incidental expenses: and will also allow, in some cases in which it Tay be necessary, small additional payments for work which has been undertaken, for which the allotment orfginally made proves to be inade- quate.” | necessa The Resignations of 3 Midshipmen have n called for as a result of the recent semi-annual mental examina- tlons at the naval academy in which Ideal Condition of Competition CREATED BY DISSOLUTION OF HARRIMAN MERGER. ASSERTS WICKERSHAM Agreement Reached Whereby Union Pacifio: Will Sell Most of Southern Pacifio Stock to Its Stockholders.
