when Diaz was no longer chief execu

Barra, the provisional president.
After Francisco Madero was elect
ed Huerta found it to be his duty to
support one who had so long fought
as rebel. His loyalty was not chal
lenged until the. Felix Diaz revolution
in Mexico City in February 1913, when
the Madero government was over
thrown completely and Huerta himself
elevated to the presidency.
Born at Chihuahua in 1854 he en-

After this campaign he was put in

Yucatan against the Maya Indians.
Huerta was the moving spirit in the
contamination of the plot that result

Huerta took office as provisional
president On Feb. 10, 1913. Three days
afterward Francisco, Madero, one OF
his brothers who had been arrested
with him, and Jose Maria Pine Sua
rez, vice president under Madero, were
assassinated while riding under guard
from the palace to the penitentiary.
This crime aroused storm of in

demands for Intervention, but Presi

which might commit the incoming ad

Immediately on assuming office
President Wilson refused to recognize
Huerta as the head of the Mexican
government
