ZAPATA IS STILL FACTOR State Department, However, Does Not Regard Guerilla Activities as Kspeclal Menace to Sta bility of Government. WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. Th Mexl ran capital la returning: rapidly to normal conditions, mccording; to reports of Ambassador Wilson to the State De partment. Mr. Wilson's dispatches an nounced that quiet prevailed, that the police bad resumed their duties and that it was possible to remit money from the United States through the banks to persona in need because of the recnt battles. Whether this peaceful condition will continue is the subject of much specu lation among Government officials There seems to be a general feeling that unless special Inducements in the way of desirable offices can be held out to rebel leaders in the north, these men will refuse to recomnlxe the new government and will continue their op eratlons nntll subdued by force. Zapata Regarded mm Farter. It generally was expected that Zapata would prove an unrecortcllable, but his force, while numerous, never has engaged In a general concerted cam- paten. The guerrilla methods em ployed by the Zapatistas, while an- noylnc, are not regarded as partlcu Urly dangerous to the stability of .the government. General Huerta informed Ambassa dor Wilson yesterday that Gustavo Ma dero had been killed by soldiers with' out orders. General Huerta asserted, however, that Gustavo had Joined with President Madero In two attempts to assassinate him and had held him a prisoner for a whole day. Huerta Oaee Vader Saspleiosu This statement would seem to ex plain the reason why Ambassador Wil son was not permitted to confer with Huerta, except in the presence of Ma dero himself, as It indicates that Huerta was a prisoner and under sus picion at the time Mr. Wilson's request was made. The congress of the State of Coa huila has refused on constitutional grounds to recognize the authority of General Huerta, has prepared to arm troops to resist his authority, and has appealed to the Governors of other states to take similar action. CANNERY STOCK IS TAKEN Corvallis Business Men Subscrlba for 2000 Shares. CORVALL.IS, Or- Feb. 20. (Special.) ' At an informal meeting at the Com mercial Club last night 20 business men of this city subscribed for 2000 shares of Corvallis cannery stock and made possible the addition of a cold storage plant and needed machinery. The cannery, operated by the Benton County Growers' Association, has al ready contracted for more than 1.600, WO pounds of products and the pros pect for a successful year Is all that could be desired. Operated last season nnder adverse circumstances and without contracts with the farmers, the cannery made a sood season's run and put up a pack that sold readily and brought contracts for this season's output. The growers are back of the cannery this year with financial support and large acreages of small fruits. country have been ordered released by President Huerta. i One hundred and fifty prisoners in the penitentiary here, hitherto overlooked, were discovered this afternoon and set free. The closest estimates obtainable of the casualties during the fighting in the streets show that about 3000 per sons were killed and 7000 wounded. In most cases no official records were made of the bodies which were gath ered up, carted to open spaces outside the city and burned. Numerous instances are known In which whole families were wiped out by exploding shells or by the pene trating fire of machine guns. The great majority of the dead were noncora batants, including a large proportion of women and children. It Is reliably reported that Alberto Fuentes d'O. Governor of Aguas Callen tes, and Venustiano Carranza. Governor of Coahuila, will refuse to recognize tbe new government and that President Huerta is planning to send troops to those states.

Finally he offered to send a taxicab after her if she would give him her address. Mrs. Manning, misunder standing him and thinking that one of her sons might have been hurt, took the taxicab when It came to her home and started down town. They stopped at a downtown corner and Mrs. Man nlng alighted. - When Mr. Manning looked about for her at home a moment after, sue naa vanished. Fearing foul play, he hast ened to the police station and told Cap. tain Riley.

Diai received such an ovation as had not oeen witnessed here - since the tri umphal entry of Madero at the close of his revolution. Crowds filled the streets to witness the marching out of the troops from the arsenal, and the big square in front of tbe national palace, where the troops passed In re view before the new President, was one great mass of humanity. In the line were the guns which had battered the palace, and squads f men without uniforms bore witness to the fact that Diaz had tbe support of others besides the mutinous soldiers. General Diaz, true to his standing as a retired army officer, was dressed in civilian clothes. He was on horseback. A detachment of troops followed and then a line of carriages containing the members of the new Cabinet. At the palace Diaz and his staff were re ceived by President Huerta In a most cordial manner and felicitations were exchanged. Foreigners Jain la "Vivas." Flags floated everywhere along the line of march, and the appearance of Diaz was the signal for a great demon stration. Confetti and flowers were thrown from the balconies and "vivas" sounded in a vast chorus, in which the foreigners Joined. At the close of the review the troops were dispatched to their barracks.
