S. neutrality by incitin Mexican rebellion. Imprisoned Fort Bliss. ‘When arrested at Newman, Tex., by federal officers accompanied by soldiers, General Victoriano Huerta remarked with elaborate irony: “Ah! American soldiers to greet me. That is nice. Efficient - watchful waiting!” With the passing of the grizzled soldier, the meteoric career of Mex- ico’s last dictator who sought to rule with a mailed fist becomes his- .t tory. Across its pages are written battle, power, diplomacy, politics, wealth, women and wine. War trained, he was a staunch advocate of the doctrine of force he learned from his idol, Porfirio Diaz. Possessing an indomitable will, ignorance of fear, physical strength and quick perception, Huerta the tyrannical and crafty, during his 71 turbulent months in the presidency nearly involved this nation and Mexico in war. Only the tolerance of the Washington administration averted disaster. His regime af- forded this nation a chance to pro- claim its Pan-American policy ce- menting ties of friendship with South America. Huerta believed the best place for an enemy was the grace. He took few prisoners. He asked no quarter and gave none. He fought like a wild cat. He loved whisky. Pain held no terror for him. During the Madero reign Huerta was nearly blinded by a cataract over one eye. An operation was performed with- out an anaesthetic. “Cut it off,” he told the surgeon; and as cold bloodedly as Huerta spoke the surgeon cut. Huerta was silent and abrupt. His face was ex- pressionless, hard, determined; his lips were tightly compressed, eyes cold, black and penetrating. Cun- ning and decisive, a politician of the first water, he had the cruelty of the aborigine, but no Indian loy- alty. He boasted of his Indian an- cestry, but Spanish blood flowed in his veins. Until Madero’s power weakened, Huerta obeyed implicity every gov- ernment order. He professed to love Mexico. Recently he declared that his only wish was to be return- ed to “the sacred soil of Mexico, should his final orders come.” Born in 1857 of a well-to-do Chihuahua family, Huerta entered Chapultepec, the West Point of Mexico, when 18, Diaz making the appointment. Graduating, he joined his regiment and for 12 years lived army life, his most important ac- complishment being the slaying of the bandit Flores Zagaza. Huerta professed friendship for the bandit, trapped and shot him. For this he was made a lieutenant-colonel and next ten years ico, mapping the coun- 1902 he possessed more 1 jiknowledge of Mexico thpn an; ther living man. ~ Diaz mada ‘|him’a brigadier general. Huerta first came into public no- tice in 1911 when President Diaz, forced to flee, chose Huerta to give him safe escort to Vera Cruz. - Ban- dits attacked the train. Huerta rout- ed them. As Diaz was saying fare- well he was asked why he had not sent Huerta against Francisco Ma- dero. The dictator replied: “Be- cause I did not trust him.” Huerta wept when Diaz bade him farewell. Returning to Mexico City Huerta took orders from President de la Barra, provisional executive. Upon Madero’s inauguration, Huerta’s pay was cut to half. Orozco the bandit arose to dispute Madero’s power. Huerta was sent to crush the out- law. Then Madero retired him. Emilo Zapata and his outlaws came to terrorize Morelos. ~Madero. sum- moned Huerta and as the bandits were about to bé annihilated Ma- dero ‘ecalled Huerta to Mexico City to withdraw his command. Madero feared and distrusted Huerta. When Madero began to lose pres- tige and Felix Diaz, nephew of the former dictator, instigated a revolt in the capital, Huerta was put in charge of Madero’s defenders. After a conference with Diaz, Huerta im- prisoned his chief and forced the Mexican congress to name himself provisional president. Madero and Saurez were shot. Diaz was prom- ised the presidency in six months. Huerta gave as his excuse for for- saking Madero the killing of 3,000 Mexicans in the ten days’ battle in the capital, and his desire to stop bloodshed. In his efforts to re-es- tablish Diaz’ iron rule, he had the support of the Catholic party and the cientificos. Recognition came fiom European powers. But two events blocked Huerta’s plans. President Wilson refused to acknowledge. Huerta. Then Gen. Venustiano Carranza, governor of Coahuila, declined to bow to the new government until it was estab- lished by an “unhampered elec- tion.” Seven other northern states followed suit. Aided by the lifting of the arms embargo by the United States when Huerta refused to step down, the constitutionalist cause grew. The United States prevented Huerta from getting necessary for- eign loans to finance his govern- ment. John Lind, special envoy, was sent to Mexico to ameliorate condi- tions. He demanded cessation of fighting, unhampered elections, Hu- erta’s elimination as a presidential candidate, and all parties to bind themselves to the election result. Huerta laughed. He refused to recognize Lind, because he was not ‘“officially accredited.” After saying called to Mexico City for important he would not be a presidential can- (No. 5 1. a Loans and those shown on b, counted Total loans , 2.
