It Is the general belief hers that the Madero government faoes a crista The President and members of his Csblnet now admit that the rebellion beaded by Emlliano Zapata has grown to such proportions as to make It the most formidable menace yet faced by the present government. The conduct 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 this afternoon. The President was not willing to admit that the mutiny of troops at Juarez was directly con nected with the Zapatista rebellion and It waa agreed that fascual Orosco snd 400 men whom he has been ordered to take from Chlbuahua to Juarez would be sufficient to restore order at that point. Caaee ef Matter Analysed. Tbe Immediate cause of the mutiny was a misunderstanding of orders, ac cording to Abram Gonaalee. Minister of the Interior. The Minister said that orosco bad been Instructed to dis charge SOD ruralea, but to do so grad ually. Instead of this being done 70 were mustered out at one time. Minis ter Gonsalea believed the post com mander misinterpreted Orozco's orders, "That affair la not particularly serious." ssld Msdero. "It was a dis agreeable Incident, but the rebellious troops are fighting under no special banner."

Acting upon the Consul's suggestion. Ambassador Wil son protested to the Foreign Office sgalnst a reported intention t remove the garrison. To unofficial Mexico the slgnlflcancs of the Juarez revolt lies la 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. During tbe Madero revolt it waa asaumed that pos session of such a port would facilitate the revolutionists in obtaining ammu nition and arms and even men. Though lacking a revolutionary prop aganda further than a declaration that Madero has violated tha promises of tha "plan of San Luis Potost," Zapata has recruited an army which new op erates In the States of Morelds.

KEEL IX Q OF TJXREST REVIVED State Department Order Consul to Protect Americans. WASHINGTON. Feb. 1. The revolt of the Mexican troops at Juarez, while not regarded a Important In Itself, Is considered hers as Indicative of a gen eral revival., outside of the Mexican capital, of the feeling of unrest that existed before the fall of the Diss ad ministration. The State Department and the De partment of Justice were advtaed to day that the trouble at Juarez grew out of a refusal of some of tha garri son to submit to discharge from the military service, which would Involve their return to paths of peace. Consul Edwards at Juarez reported that the federal rurales were responsible for the riot which followed an order to dis arm about 40 per cent of the garrison. The Consul reports that the occurrences were not marked by anti-American sentiment. Beyond an admonition to the Ameri can Consuls along the border to look after the safety of Americans, there la nothing for the.

In the first snthorlzed statement he has Issued In connection with the Taft campaign Charlea D. HlUes, Secretary to the President, predicted today President Taft would be nominated and elected. "President Tatt's nomination In June is as certain as anything could he," said Hillea.

Last Week Has Brongkt Changes, "A month ago, before I had got In touch with Republicans In all the states, I would not have said this. In that month I hsve seen the lines drawn closer and closer.

Indiana Districts for Taft. "There has been lots of noise In Ohio," said Hilles, "but the substantial Republicans In every Congressional district are determined that the Presi dent shall have the delegates; and he will get them, too. "I have a telegram from Indianapolis saying that every single member of the Republican State Committee elected in the 13 Congressional districts yester day Is for Mr. Taft. That is a big change from a committee, whose chair man. Mr. Lee, went around Washington In December, proclaiming that Indiana was hostile to the President." In regard to New, York State, Mr. Hilles said: "The President's 'speeches in New Tork so enthused the Republican lead ers there that the executive commit tee of the county committee of New York County passed, by a unanimous vote, resolutions indorsing the Presi dent snd declaring for his renomina tlon in the strongest terms. Brookjya Aerloa Spontaneous, "This was followed by a meeting of the general Republican committee of Kings County, Brooklyn, By a unani mous vote, Mr. Taft's renomlnatlon was urged. I was told today by two of the leaders of Brooklyn that It had not been the Intention of the leaders to bring- about an indorsement at that meeting, but the action was spontane ous after a member had Introduced the resolution. The information from the leaders in New York was uniformly that the President will have the dele gation of the state. "In Ohio, the President's speeches have awakened Republicans to a de gree that was not expected. I have not a doubt that every delegate from the state will be for him." The President himself Is as hopeful as Hilles is. , Confident that his three-day Ohio visit was successful, and that through 1. he strengthened the Republican par ty In his own state, he passed through Pittsburg on his way East today, and ""l" have been much gratified by the cordiality of the reception accorded me by my fellow citizens of Ohio. The visit I was enabled to make to my native state seems to have aroused strong Republican sentiment and to have dispelled eroneous Impressions that had gone abroad. I enjoyed the hospitality of the people of Cleveland. Columbus and Akron and extend to them my thanks for giving me the op portunity to address them on the broad questions of government in which we are all so deeply Interested."

SUBSTITUTE IS LIKELY Party's Attitude to Be Made Clear Wiien Measure Is Presented to Senate Committee Does Xot Need La Follette. WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. As a result of the conference of the Republican Senators at the C-pitol immediately after the adjournment of the Senate tonight, the Republican view of the tariff situation will be presented to the Senate and to the country at large, in connection with the House bill revis ing the iron and steel schedule. The meeting was attended by most of the Republican members of the finance committee and by some of the other Republican leaders, but none of the in surgent Senators was present. The present move in carrying out the programme was decided on today. It is believed Democratic members of the committee on finance will offer no ob jections. The hearings will probably begin next week. No effort was was to decide whetber the Republicans would present a sub stitute for the Underwood steel bill or content themselves with a direct effort to defeat that measure, but it is believed there will be a substitute, as the ad valorem system, which charac terizes It Is unacceptable to the Re publican Senators generally. With the bill once In the Senate, whether on a favorable or adverse report, the pur pose Is to discuss It at length, so as to present all phases of the Republican side of the tariff question.

Lnj tho meetlne- was purely in formal and not coniinea to wm n mlttee, no surprise was manifested at his absence.
