Mexico City, Feb. 24.—An official
investigation into the deaths of Ex-
President Madero and Ex-President
fiuarez, on Saturday night, will he
begun immediately, but the general
belief prevails that the investigation
will substantiate the official versions
of the oocurrance.
The fact that the bodies of the two
statesmen was recovered near the
penitentiary, was explained today by
the statement that a second encoun
ter occurred near the building.
It Ib said Suarez and Madero jump

information of his death from the
Spanish minister, Senor Cologan

this question Is given as follows:
