After the Might yesterday of Ernesto | Madero, uncle of the assassinated ex- President, Francisco Madero, and Min- Jeter of Finance under his sway, a check upon the reserve in the Troasury was ordered by Provisional President Huerta with the discovery of the slender balance under $100,000. The officials of the Huerta regime de- clare that the $92,000 balance in the Treasury does not represent the all im- mediate available resources of the Gov- ernment and that there are various de- posite in local and foreign banks which can be drawn upon. Nevertheless the new Government is staggered by the empty cupboard left by the Maderos. Charges that Gustevo Madero, first Minister of Finance under his brother's presidency, had indulged in wholesale looting of the treasury for the beneft of the great family of Madero, num- an a hundred, no to be Juan Sanches Ascona, Private Secretary to Francisco Madero, Is sald to have had 6,000,000 pesos in his pussession when he was caught in full fight from the capital to Vera Crus after the Huerta-Diaz coup d'etat. ‘The present refusal of any power to recognize the de facto Government of Huerta greatly complicates the financial condition of the assailed republic, It will be well-nigh impossible for the Huerta administration to raise a foreign loan unless the United States and other nations recognize tt, he situation In the Federal capital ot undergone any change.
