Madero D<’«S Mutineers and Dares ,Th«m to Shoot Affair Thought Government Schern«. Juaroz, M«*x., May 15. The •u- preme test, the clash between the mtl itary and political authorities, was ex perienced by the provisional govern ment of Mexico t««lay and Provisional President Francis«« I. Madero tonight is complete master of the situation. Aft«-r a day of many exciting inci dents. during which the lives of Ma dero am! his chiefs were in danger. General Orozro, in a moment ~ 'of ;>as- sion. ord«-rod the arrest of the little rebel leader anil demanded the reaig nation of the provisional cabinet, the capital of the provisional guverment is quiet. (•eneral era) commamier, whose life was threaten««! «-arly today, by angry mobs of insurgents, was spirit««! away by Mmiero himself to th«* American side of th«- Rio Grande an«l tonight is safe ly ensconced in the home of friends in El Paso.

Madero, in a itatement issue«! tonight, charge«! that General Orozco's actions were incite«! “by persons in !« r*••■.:•«! in bringing i«l->ut di»unioti among us.” Early Uxlay Gencral Orosco called on M micro and the two men talked alone for some time. Suddenly their voices were raised and the other rolxd |»ditiial chief« ru*die«l into the r-Hitn only to find them»«-lv«-s held back by some of Orozco's men. A throng of soliliers hud gathered outside the building ami Mmfi-ro determined to ap |«-al to them. Six-shooters ha*I been drawn and rifles leveled, but Madero stood bravely lx-f< n- th«* crow«! and, slapping his breast, shout««!. "Shoot me, slioot me. if you daro. ” Genera Orozco was at his side. His men ostensibly had l«e«*n summon««! to tak<* part in the coup d’etat, but. a» Madero st«*ppe«l forth among them an«! talk ««I in his calm, reaaauring way, th«* affection which has Ix-cn ripening among his men since the revolution began, crystalir««! in a mighty shout "Viva Madero." There are all aorta of stories al«*ut the clash, but at th«* Ixittom it is ap parent that dissensions among tin- military chiefs was th«* basic cau«» of th«* disturbance. Colonel Villa »»» said to have insisted on General Na- varro’s life, while General Orozco »a» said to have been dlspleas««! with the naming of a civilian as minister of war. Tonight all is harmony and Madero has impressed up««n General Orozco that the choosing of a cabinet ami the management of a government is quite outside the functions of the military. Apprehension for the safety of Gen eral Navarro stirred Generaj Madero after the incident at the municipal building and he <let«*rmincd, at the risk of his own life, to save the brave Federal commander. He was whisk««! away in an aub>m«>bile to where Gen eral Navarro has been Staying sine«* he was capture«!, and after a brief ex planation, conveyed Navarro to th«* river front, where th«* latter wad««! the river ami »xm was safe on American territory. American troops were ready to pro- t«*ct him, if necessary, but the insur gents were c«>mj«*tely ignorant of Madero's move until it was accuui- plished. Precocious Trio Caught.
