DUTY III CAPITAL
Ambassador Wilson Reports
Return to Normal Condition
in City of Mexico.
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.

General Diaz came Into bis own lata

troops, which for -nine days withstood
the attacks of the government. 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. The
crowds continued their Jollification.
Thousands marched through the down

viding the "vivas" between the popular
