FORMER PRESIDENT OF MEXICO KILLED

Francisco Madero and Saurez Killed Presumably by Order of the Treacherous Huerta. The peace prospects in Mexico received a severe jolt Sunday when the reported killing of the former president and vice-president was confirmed by a dispatch from'Ambassador Wilson. Francisco Madero and Jose Pino Saurez had been confined at Mie national palace, and Huerta, the arch-traitor who placed him under arrest, had pledged that they should be given a fair trial and not be summarily murdered as was the president’s brother last week. The report is that they were killed while trying to escape but no credence is given to this statement and it is quite certain that Huerta, whom the papers are denominating* the modern Judas, was responsible for his murder. That a butcher of this sort cannot last long at the head of any country is certain and the United States, anticipating further trouble, is concentrating several jeglments of troops at Galveston, Tex. Transports have been sent there to take the troops to Mexico in case intervention becomes necessary. /
