New York Times 100 years ago today, April 8, 1913:
Special Cable to The New York Times.
VERA CRUZ, April 7.— The hurried departure from this and other ports of various leaders known to be hostile to the present Administration has aroused the suspicion of the Government.
Juan Sanchez-Azcona, Speaker of the House of Deputies under Madero, arrested and then liberated, managed to sail on the Ward liner Monterey last Thursday. This morning Dr. Francisco Vasques Gomez arrived from the capital and alighted from his train outside the town, but the civil authorities ran him down and placed him under arrest.
Dr. Francisco Vasquez Gomez was arrested under a misapprehension, the police having received telegraphic orders to seize his brother, Emilio Vasquez Gomez, who was proclaimed Provisional President of Mexico by the rebels against the Madero regime.
The doctor harshly criticises the Government's attitude toward himself and his brother, saying that a few days ago a large committee went northward with the avowed purpose of convincing his brother of the desirability of his helping the present administration to establish peace in the country. Now, he says, it appears that at the same time the Government gave orders for his arrest should he arrive in Mexico.
Dr. Vasquez Gomez says he is on a political tour in behalf of his party.
