armed and placed under arrest by order of Huerta^ on the charg
firing without orders.
The finest irony attended the arrest of Gustavo Madero,
brother of the President, distinguished as a politician at whose <
most of the evils of the administration have been laid.
He had invited General Huerta to luncheon at the Gambri
a popular restaurant. This was a custom with Gustavo Maden
winning favor. General Huerta, however, had invited guests
known to his host. In a room adjoining he had stationed a det?
ment of Chapultepec Park guards.
All were preparing to take their seats, when, at a signal fi
Huerta, the officer in command entered. Pointing a pistol
Madero, he announced that he was under arrest. At the s<
moment soldiers filing into the room cleared it of all except
principals.
Gustavo loudly protested against this indignity, but Gen?
Huerta replied in a loud voice, condemning the Madero family.
Up to a late hour the Vice-President of the republic, Jose P
Suarez, had not been found. Detachments of troops were search
for him.
Ambassador Wilson summoned all the toreign diplomats t
conference which was held at the American Embassy.
Word came from the rebel positions early in the evening t
General Diaz was preparing his troops to unite with Gen?
Huerta
HUERTAS STROKE SUDDEN
AND SURPRISE TO MADER
fi: .? I .. a .?.;? i a. I
Mexico City, via Galveston. Feb. 18.?Francisco Madero i?
prisoner in the National Palace, the city is in control of Gene
Huert.% and the country is virtually under a military dictatorsl
as the result of a sudden and unexpected coup d'?tat executed
?:30 o'clock this afternoon by a cabal headed by Generals Hue
and Blanquet, with the sympathetic co-operation of most of t
army officers in the capital.
Details are difficult to obtain, but it seems that the plot to se:
the government was worked out so carefully that when Huerta ga
the word the whole matter was successfully accomplished with st?.
ning celerity and effect, without, as nearly as can be found, t
shedding of a drop of blood, or even causing more than a passi
ripple of excitement.
The only premonition came in the form of vague rumors, whi
had been afloat since last night, that something big and unexpect
was about to happen. Apparently nothing was known of what w
impending by Madero or any of his chief advisers. At any ra
Ernesto Madero, during a long conversation this morning with T!
Tribune correspondent, gave no indication that anything aside fro
the obvious elements of trouble was disturbing him.
When the correspondent was at the palace, President Made
was busy, but he could be seen through an open door in his priva
office, conversing with several army officers and civilians.
As nearly as can be figured out now, the plans of the men wl
engineered what may be called the palace revolution did not tal
in Felix Diaz. So soon as Huerta found himself in control, messe
gers were dispatched to Diaz, under a white flag, to tell him wh;
had been done and suggesting a conference. This is now going o
So abruptly did the situation change that it is almost impossib
to do anything except speculate on what it all means. What tl
consequences will be, what effect it will have on Diaz's attitude, <
who were the moving spirits, if any, behind Huerta and Blanque
and various other features, it is not easy to understand. It will ni
be surprising if later developments give much more interesting an
V sensational revelations as to the real aim and purpose and wh?
/ turned things so topsyturvy.
It may be said with a reasonable degree of assurance th;
Madero's life is not in the slightest danger, although he is in th
Palace and closely guarded.
Indications are that Blanquet will be proclaimed President a
interem until a new election can be called, although Huerta ca
have the post if he desires it.
Not a single hitch occurred in carrying out the plot in th
National Palace. Nothing could have been easier. Presiden
Madero was in his private office, with only two or three civilian
and one of his aids, Colonel Riveroll. In the anteroom were tei
or more other persons. It is not known whether Ernesto Maden
or any other member of the Cabinet was in the Palace at the time.
Blanquet, with several officers and a file of soldiers behind him
strode into the office, throwing the big double doors wide open
Madero looked up from a document he was signing, and ther
jumped to his feet.
Colonel Riveroll placed himself instantly between the Presiden'
and the incoming soldiers and half pulled his revolver from it.?
holster. One of the officers with Blanquet fired, and Riveroll fei
to the carpet with a bullet in his shoulder.
The* President was pale, but complete master of himself, all
agree who saw what followed. His voice did not tremble as he said :
"Let us have no shooting. What does this mean? What dc
vou want, general?"
Blanquet briefly explained what was going forward and said:
"It is useless for you to resist, Mr. President. You must consider
yourself a prisoner, but neither you nor any of your family shall be
harmed. General Huerta and myself pledge our words that we have
no desire to shed blood.
"The necessities of the country demand that you retire. All
will be done peacefully and legally. Please remain here for the
present. It may be necessary to remove you elsewher-. later."
Madero asked several questions. He wanted to know what they
purposed doing with him, and whether General Huerta had taken a
stand against him. He expressed regret at seeing Blanquet against
the government.
After a short conversation Blanquet left the President. A
guard was stationed inside and outside the President's office, while
other soldiers were placed in all the rooms and passages in the
Presidential suite.
