: Latest Mexican Revolt
Against Huerta
!: To Result DisastrousIy

"A AZ ExIcAN revolts, uprisings and
F" rebellions have long ceased
to attract the attention Of
busy Americans. Our neigh
bor on the southwest has been in a
state of turmoil so long that a reign
OF peace and tranquility would be the
exception. However, the uprising and
sentiment against President Huerta,
whose Office has never been officially
recognized by the United States. have
recently assumed a threatening and
yerious attitude So acute did the sit
hation become that the state depart
ment realized that something must be
done, and done quickly. Ambassador
GIepry Lane Wilson was hurriedly
summoned from Mexico City to Wash
ington for conference with Secretary
Of State Bryan, President Wilson and
other governmental officials. The first
matter considered was the repeal Of
the neutrality proclamation prohibiting
expectation of arms into Mexico.
The situation rapidly grew serious
recently when the lives Of Americans
and other foreigners in Mexico were
endangered by fighting between Mexi-
can federal and rebel troops. Proper
ty of Americans was also in danger Of
grave damage. The rank and file OF
Mexicans cannot bring themselves to
believe that the United States will in
teryene. Officials were reticent on the
subject.
The feeling against Huerta in Mexi-
co has been growing fast of late. Sup
porters of former President Francisco
Madero, who was killed following his
overthrow, are seeking revenge. Colo
mel Carrao, military adviser to Presi-
dent Madero during his administra-
tion and commander of the palace
guards at that time, tells in an inter
esting manner some new facts con
cerning Huerta that were not general
jy known. He says:
"Huerta gloried in the murder OF
Madero when he, cojointly with Felix
Diaz, sent cable dispatch to Porfirio
Diaz announcing his benefactor's muir
der.
Until 1910 the martyred President
Madero was unknown, except for his
