New York Times 100 years ago today, October 26, 1912:
Report That Madero Will Not Interfere with Court-Martial Sentence.
TWO OF HIS STAFF DIE
Two Others Sentenced — Hope That Downfall of Diaz Will Bring Peace to Mexico.
Madero to The Times.
By Cable to the Editor of The New York Times.
    MEXICO CITY, Oct. 25.— I consider the failure of Felix Diaz to be the last effort of the reaction from which the republic has suffered and which has caused this year's revolts.
    I think that peace will be reestablished very soon in Mexico, because ail over the national territory only small bodies of bandits are left which will soon be subdued.
                FRANCISCO I. MADERO.

Special Cable to The New York Times.
    MEXICO CITY, Oct. 25.— The failure of the Diaz revolt is regarded by Government officials as proof of the ability of the Administration to handle any uprising. The news of its collapse was not believed in the capital at first, in spite of many newspaper extras and semi-official papers announcing it. Confirmation by independent papers caused a depression.
    There is a report to-night that Gen. Diaz has been sentenced to death and that President Madero has declined to interfere with the court-martial's action.
    A number of small foreign businesses hanging on are expected to go out of business. Many still regard intervention as inevitable sooner or later.
    The removal of troops from the north of Morelos, Guerrero, has allowed rebels there to gather impetus. It is thought that it will take the Government many months to bring conditions in that State to their previous status. The victory of the Government over Diaz is to be followed by the introduction of a bill restricting the liberty of the press. It is believed here that the execution of Diaz if ordered will cause general indignation, but if clemency is extended to him drastic action by the President is expected in other directions.
    A political crisis in the Cabinet is imminent. The Progresistas will attempt to prove that the Liberals are implicated in the rising. Jesus Flores Magon, Minister of the Interior, is regarded as the man of the hour and leader of the Liberals. Troops are being rushed to points north and south to handle renewed rebel activity in both sections.
    Foreigners are contemplating an exodus in view of the paralysis of business.
