It is believed an ef- fort will be made to arrange his| burlal in Mexico. | A Profess:ona General Huerta was a professional sol- dier, and as such he had, up to the over throw of President Francisco Madero, been known for his loyal support of | existing governments.

Huerta took office as provisional presi- | dent on February 15, 1913. Three days afterward Franclsco Madero, one of his brothers who had been arrested with him and Jose Maria Pino Suarez, vice presi- dent under Madero, were assassinated while riding under,guard from the palace | to the penitentia The crime aroused a storm of indigna- tlon throughout the United States. In ' many quarters there were demands for intervention, but President Taft, who was on the eve of leaving office, decided take no action which might commit the incoming administration of President Wil- son. President Wilson refused to recognize Muerta, though recognition had been granted by Great Britain. At the same time the Maderistas rallied under Venus- 1o Cab 0% of Coabuila; and Francisco Villa declared against Huerta. Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson was re- called. In August President Wilson sent John Lind, former governor of Minne- | #0td, to the Mexican capital as his per- | eonal representative. Mr. Lind presented certain’ proposals to Huerta, chief of which was that the provisional president should resign and permit a national elec- tion at which he would not be a candi- date. Huerta peremptorily rejected these proposals. ‘The Mexican congress grew restive and one eenator attacked Huerta in the cham- bef.
