Tine prison was the firet point of attack by the revolutioniste, as it held within its walle General Reyes. The troops itt charge of the prison remain- ed loyal, but were taken by surprise, and the capture of the prison was comparatively easy. The revolters then marched to the Santiago peniteu- tiary, and after a fieree conflict suc- ceeded in foreleg an entrance. Here geneeal Diaz was releaee-d. Scores of °thee Federal prisoners were given their liberty,. and on being supplied with arms took their placto at the head of the mob. - Ink to this time there had been riolUe eemblance of military order, but with the prisoners assuming the lead it was ' lost, end the mutineers became a rioting. neeb of bloodthirsty and armed men.

REYES INSTANTLY KILLED, Suddenly the eouth door of the palace, known as the President's door„ flashed open, and from within came the report of a rifle. At the same moment General Reyes, standing near Diaz, erumpled, into a heap, He had heen snot through the head and died instautly, Ire death NVIIS the eignal for general fighting. In an instant the maehino guns on the roof of the cathedral began spitting their hail of lead and steel and simultaneously the artillery, which had approached from the south, began an at- tack on the cavalry. The mob in tile etreete swung about and beat a hasty retreat for any available shelter. In a minute or two the Zoealo was filled -with the deadtand deneet. Everywhere a pool of blood marked the place where bullets had found a mark. The shrapnel and the. solid shot of the field guns wreaked carnage": It is eonservatively estimated that two hum:trio' were killed in the Zocalo, and half a, thousand have been wounded. The battle favored the Fdderals, who, not keeping faith with Diaz, turned the machine guns on the troops below. Diaz, with the remnant of cavalry, the Clutpultepee Cadet, aud a few soldiers cacti:Pea, and made their way to the ar- tillery barracks and the arsenal, which is on the Plaza des Armes. Street cars is there going to Chapultepec and the residence section, the American eolony beingbut°fiv block away. At the ar- senal another fierce battle reeulted, but Diaz fatally succeeded in capturing the 1 arsenal. A large number of rurales and mounted police then went over to his rause. Later an artillery company from Tacubaya with a dozen field guns rode into the arsenal grounds shouting for Diaz. Within the palace there were few vie - tines, but Col, Corelos, one of the 11105t loyal of Madero' i adherents, was killed. Gen, Gregorio Ruiz, a retired effieer, two captains and three lieutenants were executed iu the patio of the National Palace. It in officially reported that this Was by order of the Government, but another story is that they were killed by a detachment of their own men be- cause they oppose(l their joining in the rerolt. President Madero took the revolu- time calmly, showing absolutely no fear or excitement, and went from his house in an automobile to San Juan de Lanni, where he conferred with General Yie. toriano Iluorta, who remains loyal to the Government. Madero made a f6r• vent address, and pleaded with the peo- ple for order. Ile finally went out on the streets, unescorted.
