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

capital of the provisional guverment

a sinister schcrn«? on the part of those
w - .«r«- trying to I
i up (L<- «*rgan
ization of the revolution to foster the
opinion throughout Mexico that th«
movement is one of banditry nml an
archy. 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.
