Wilson's Hostile Attitude to President Madera

U.S. Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson had been at his post since March of 1910, after previous diplomatic stints in Chile and Belgium. He was an open admirer of Porfirio Dios and the wonderful things Dios had done for Mexico. So Wilson watched with light-hearted scoffing at the attempt by this mystical lunatic Madera to unseat Don PorFirio in the election of 1910. But when the matter is to revolution got going, Wilson regularly reported back to his bosses that this rebellion would be quashed any day now,. The United States wouldn't be happy if Madera engaged in such a concocted an underhanded murder plot.
