Madero Is Upheld In Mexican Chamber.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 19, 1912:
Resolution Calling for His Resignation, Caused by Diaz Revolt, Is Voted Down.
HUERTA TO TAKE THE FIELD
Hurried Mobilization of Federal Troops Proceeding — Des Moines at Vera Cruz — Diaz Platform Out.
    MEXICO CITY. Oct. 18.— Gen. Huerta has taken command of the Government forces operating against the rebels under Felix Diaz. Mobilization of troops is being accomplished as speedily as possible, and 1,500 are expected to be assembled. No serious defections from the army have been reported.
    Communication is interrupted between this city and Vera Cruz. Everything is quiet here.
    The Chamber of Deputies last night voted down the resolution, introduced by Opposition Deputies on Wednesday night, demanding the resignation of the Cabinet. A counter proposal, extending a vote of confidence in the Madero Government, resulted in violent debate, which continued for several hours. Many of the Deputies bitterly assailed President Madero, accusing him of failure to comply with "the promises of the revolution," embodied in the plan of San Luis Potosi. Finally, early this morning, the chamber passed the resolution of confidence.
    It is reported that the United States cruiser Des Moines dropped anchor in Vera Cruz Harbor to-day. The United States Embassy here has not been advised of the arrival of the war vessel there, but says if it has its commander will be requested to remain as a precaution pending the developments of the situation brought about by the occupation of Vera Cruz by Gen. Felix Diaz.
    It is said that the Ward liner Monterey is having trouble in getting her clearance papers at Vera Cruz. Her Captain will be advised by the embassy to sail without them.
    W. W. Canada, the American Consul at Vera Cruz, has not communicated with the embassy since early yesterday.
    The Monterey is the only passenger boat in the harbor, and Consul Canada has asked that its sailing be deferred with a view to affording a means of escape for non-combatants.
    The land cable between Paso Del Macho, State of Vera Cruz, and Vera Cruz, the capital of that State, was cut last night. The last message that came over the wires said that the gunboats were again in command of Commodore Azueta, Federal, and that he was preparing to bombard. The Consuls have protested.
    The announcement has been made here that Gen. Gerónimo Trevino, who commanded the Government forces in the campaign against Pascual Orozco. Jr., will retire on account of his health.
    Gen. Romulo Cuellar, retired, is reported to be leading the rebels to victory in the vicinity of Tamos. Gen. Aguilar is said to be marching on Puebla. An unconfirmed report says that there was a defection among troops who were being transported to Apizaco preparatory to a campaign.
