HUERTA'S COUP
FAILS TO GAIN
u. S. CONFIDENCE

: The detailed accounts of the overthrow
CT former President Madero of Mexico
and the circumstances by which his
downfall was accomplished. together
with subsequent events in the Mexican
capital, served to increase the pessimism
felt in Washington when it was learned
that Gen. Huerta had been proclaimed
provisional President
The general conclusion was that Mex
leo has reverted tn the state from which
Porfirio Diaz brought her when he came
into control of government more
than 4 generation ago. No one could be
found who felt any real belief that the
arrangement entered into with Mexico
City would prove lasting or satisfac-
tory.
Even in official circles. however, the
disgust felt at the boastful message re-
ceived from Gen Huerta was ill conceal
ed. Gen. Huerta's message, which was
addressed to President Taft, follows:
Il have the honor to inform you that
/ have overthrown this government. The
forces are with me, and from now on
peace and prosperity will reign. Your
obedient servant,
"vICToRIANO HUERTA.
Commander Chief.
1t is putting it mildly to say that
President Taft and his advisers are most
skeptical of Gen. Huerta's assurances
that peace and prosperity will reign"
Even to those familiar with the Latin
American revolutions. Gen. Huerta's
boastful message seemed most revolving.
In view OF the fact that to the Anglo
Saxon mind his action appears to have
been simply that of betraying his master.
The Washington herald., 1913-02-20
FURTHER BLOOD
MAY BE SHED

The execution of Gustavo Madero. un-
der most barborous circumstances. was
taken here to indicate that further blood
shed is likely to follow in Mexico City.
1t is feared that those who have come
into power by purely military and
mercenary stroke will take advantage of
their opportunity to revenge themselves
upon their enemies. A series of summary
executions. such as have often followed
revolutions in such republics as Hayti
and some of the Central and South Amer
lean republics. may begin.
Yesterdays dispatches also hinted at a
a possible rupture between Gen. Diaz
and Gen. Huerta, even though their agree
ment is hardly twenty-four hours old.
So far as is yet known, no provision
has been made for Gen. Felix Diaz and
though he has repeatedly declared that
he was not seeking Office, it is not be-
lieved for a moment that he will be
content to remain unheard in the rear
of tho government. Gems
and Huerta are both regarded
as having proved themselves subject to
being bought, and there is little belief
here that any arrangement they can make
will be lasting or satisfactory for any
length of time. even to themselves.

BIG BUDGET COMPLETED

With less than two weeks now before
him in the White House. President Taft
is closing up his personal affairs In
Washington. moving his furniture to his
new home in New Haven, and is under
taking no new official business.
With only routine affairs now remain
ing. such as signing bills passed by Con-
gress and passing upon n few reports,
the President will not likely be particu-
iarly busy during the remaining days.
He completed yesterday his long-eNpect-
ed budget appropriation message. which
will be sent TO Congress next Wednes-
day, and is expected to decide the fate
Of the Webb liquor bill to-day or TO-
morrow Several days will then be re-

Germ the United States or until he can
turn it ever tn his successor. He has
devoted more time aud study to this
subject than any other during the last
two weeks, IL being responsible for sew
eral midnight Cabinet meetings.
The President has curtailed his en-
gagements lately. so that now he is seeing
but few visitors, and most of these come
on important business. Four years ago
at this time the White House was liter
ally overrun by visitors from various
sections of the country who wished to
have farewell handshake with Presi-
dent Roosevelt. These visitors are few

TAFT TO LEAVE
MATTER FOR WILSON

1t is believed that the downfall of Ma
dero will so relieve the situation for a
time as to make it certain that President
Taft will leave the White House on
March without having been obliged to
adopt any more drastic measures with
regard to Mexico. Now that the fighting
has ceased, it is expected that there will
be lull in the proceedings for some
time.
II Is generally considered. however,
that Mr.. Wilson. when he takes office,
will be confronted with a Mexican prob
lem just about as delicate and as seri-
Gus as ii has been at any time in the
last few months.
