Court Martial to Garry Out

VERA CRUZ REVOLT
GOVERNMENT PLOT
Suspected General Led on by
False Advisers to Raise
the Standard of
Rebellion

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 24.-GeneraI
joaquin Beltran is tonight at Vera
Cruz, presiding over summary court
martial trying General Felix Diaz, on
a charge of treason.
The court martial was ordered by
President Madero this afternoon with
instructions that the findings Of the
board. whatever they may be, be i'm
mediately carried out.
This means that Diaz will be shot at
sunrise, for IL is asserted here that
he is certain to be convicted
1t was learned today that the Diaz
revolt was actually Madero trap, set
and sprung by the president himself.
Diaz had long been suspected OF in
triguing against the government. The
better to catch him at his own game.
Madero permitted him apparently to
go about Vera Cruz without being
spied upon. but as matter of fact,
a1ss.sssasrassssf service men were his
constant advisers. dag was led to
believe that the major part OF the
army weaid join his eelers the min
ute he hoisted the standard Of re-
hellion. He failed to see the plot un-
iii too late. a--
Even when General Beitrans troops
appeared before Vera cruz he believed
the soldiers were coming TO join inn
mediately, and would attack those who
remained loyal the moment Diaz gave
the word.
This accounts for the apparent ne
giect OF Diaz to give battle the mo-
ment the federals came in range.
