him to read and write and he con-

When Huerta was 8 years old.
Gen. Donate Guerra passed through

the Mexican general and revealed
his longings. Guerra persuaded

cadet at Chapultepec military acad-
envy. where he was graduated with
honors in 1876. His first engage

From this time TO 1895 Huerta
led the life of an army officer in
many garrisons. In 1895 as a col

against Canuto Neri, the bandit of
the State of Guerrero. So success
