New Government Organized. The last details of the organization of Mexico’s new government were com- leted at 4 o'clock this afternoon, when he members of President Huerta’s of- fictal family took the oath in the yel- Jow room of the palace, immediately that ed by tho deposed their room, Madero and Suarez were yet able to hear the plaudits of the erowds in the streets and in the big gquare in front, and the bugle calls of the united army. Significant of the birth in battle of the new administra- iion was the frank display of soldiers, and the effect or the crowds was not lost. General Diaz Present. Tt served as a reminder that even if t was not a military dictatorship that ad been established, the present ad- ministration was of much sterner quality than that which had just fall- en. General Felix Diaz was among those in the yellow room when the ministers took the oath and heard Huesta pro- nounce the formal time-honored phrase: “If you keep this oath, the ‘country will reward you; if you do not, #t will call you to an accounting.” Madero Well Guarded.

No one has been allowed to talk Wwith the prisoners, although their o permitted to leave the country. ;ho ‘members of the family are equaily reticent, but by those most intimate with them it is considered not improb- mble that the entire family will emi- grate to South America, if the oppor- unity is afforded them. The treasury is at present closed, ending its formal delivery to the new {uthorltlu by the retiring minister of finance, Hrnesto Madero.

The general opin- jon is that unless some special induce- ments can be held out in the way of desorable offices, the rebel leaders in the north will refuse to recognize the new government and will have to be hunted down by force before they can be_subdued. Yesterday General Hiierta informed Ambassador Wilson that Gustavo Ma- dero had been killed without orders by the soldiers, but he also stated that Gustavo had joined with the president in two attempts to assassinate him (Huerta) and had held him a prisoner for a whole day. Looking backward, it is _now pereeived that this was the reason that Ambassador Wilson was refused a conference with Huerta, ex- cept fn the presence of Madero him- self, Huerta being practically a pris- oner at that time and under suspicion. One of the small clouds in the oth- erwise clearing sky of the new regime was the action of the congress of the of Coahuila in on con- unds to recognize the aul 9!“ “Huerta, preparing to arm troops to resist his authority and appealing the governors of oth- o states to a similar attitude.

The res- on. reads as follows: 8 workers of the Abraham Lin- eoin Center and friends of woman suf. frage, earnestly deplore the belligerent, law-deflant atfltude of those sisters in Bn d who by their belligerency we fear are menacing the cause dear to them and to us. The appeal should be to reason and not to arms. ere is a notoriety that is not notable. Militan- cy belongs to the past, or passing, regime that is masculine. The appeal to reason, the arguments of love, alone will hasten the coming of the govern- ment based on the hearthstone, not on the payonet. The family and not the regiment is the unit of government that women are to help establish.” SUFFRAGETTE HIKERS ARRIVE AT ELKTON, MD. Knelt en Ground and Blessed Maryland Soil on Crossing Line.
