This letter, as you understand, must be absolutely of a particular and private character. On this basis we beg to inform you that on our part there will be no obstacles that could arise between ourselves, which cannot be solved in the manner most suitable to you. It would be advisable for you to retire into the United States (for your greater safety). We shall make all sorts of sacrifices (should you demand them) so as to satisfy all your wishes and demands. Our envoy (agent) will bring you instructions on the subject. He is empowered to arrange matters on the spot. We beg you to accept our assurance of admiration and respect. (Signed) VICTORIANO HUERTA. FELIX DIAZ. Carranza’s answer follows: 11th March, 1913. MESSRS. V. HUERTA Y FELIX DIAZ: My only answer to the despicable proposals offered to me in your letter dated February 27th, is that I want to inform you that men like myself do not betray, do not sell themselves; that is your function, you who have no other objects in life than the shameful satisfaction of ignoble ambitions. Raise the black flag of your tyranny, and over the country the voice shouts: “Treason and Death.” On my part, with the help of the Mexican people, I shall lift from the mud into which you have thrown it, the flag of the country. Should I fall defending it, I shall have obtained for my small action in life, the greatest prize which we honest men can aspire to. (Signed) VENUSTIANO CARRANZA. In the month of March, 1913, not satisfied with having defied the powers in Mexico, General Carranza published the “Plan of Guadalupe,” so called from the fact that the revolutionary plan was signed by the officers at the “hacienda” farm of Guadalupe. The plan is the following: DECLARATION TO THE NATION Considering that General Victoriano Huerta, to whom the Constitutional President, Francisco I. Madero, had confided the defence of the institutions and the legality of his government, on uniting with the rebel enemies in arms against that same government, to restore the latest dictatorship, committed the crime of treason to reach power, arresting the President and Vice-President, as well as their ministers, exacting from them by violent means the resignation of their posts, which is proven by the messages that the same General Huerta addressed to the Governors of the States, advising them that he had the Supreme Magistrates of the nation and their cabinet prisoners.
