Translation: "If we don't have the necessary guarantees, we'll go into session in a place in our national territory where they are offered," stated the 26th Legislature congressmen when notified of the death of Senator Belisario Domínguez. Huerta, assisted by Aureliano Blanquet ordered the dissolution of the Legislative Power and the people's representatives were locked up for several months in the Penitentiary of Lecumberri until early 1914.
