PLAN UPRISING IN MEXICO CITY
Advices claim followers of Porfirio Diaz and allies of General Felix Diaz have prepared for a revolt in Mexico City to oust Huerta as soon as the dictator falls. Porfirio Diaz, in Seville, is barely aware and Felix Diaz remains in New Yorkunless coup succeeds. Most Diaz loyalists are banished or imprisoned, with Diaz leaders known only to Diaz and a few associates. The plot followed the United States refusal to back Diaz for presidency, Felix Diaz seeking guarantees from America.
