Maderos Only Want Peace.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 11, 1913:
Ernesto Makes Formal Statement for Family and Cables It to Huerta.
    Ernesto Madero, former Secretary of the Treasury in the Mexican Cabinet and uncle of the late President, issued a statement yesterday saying it was the intention of himself and the other members of the Madero family to refrain from participation in the politics of Mexico. He said he was authorized to speak for the family. The statement was a reaffirmation of the views expressed by Mr. Madero in an exclusive interview given to The Times on Saturday.
    Madero, "we assured the officials of the present provisional Government that it was not our purpose to take any part in Mexican politics. We told them that we purposed to proceed to the United States and to remain there until political conditions in Mexico should become settled. There will be no change in this policy.
    "It is not true, as has been reported, that any member of the Madero family contemplates organizing any movement against the present Government of Mexico or taking any part in such a movement. It is the sincerest desire of myself and of every member of the Madero family that peace will soon prevail again throughout Mexico. We hope that all good people in Mexico will co-operate toward this end."
    Rafael Hernandez, Minister of the Interior in the Cabinet of the late President, indorsed the statement made by Mr. Madero. It was said last night that because of the many false reports which have been circulated Mr. Madero and Mr. Hernandez have sent telegrams to President Huerta and members of the Mexican Cabinet setting forth the main features of the statement made by Mr. Madero.
