Accompanied by a Brazilian minister, a French delegate and a U.S. representative, Carbajal went to Teoluyacan and attempted to discuss terms. When this failed, the entire cabinet went into exile. The treaty was signed on August 13. Eduardo Iturbide, governor of Mexico City, and a Huerta sympathizer, signed the surrender of the city. General Gustavo A. Salas and Admiral Othón P. Blanco signed the articles concerning the military.
The treaty codified the unconditional surrender of the Federal Army to the Constitutionalist Army, followed by the Federal Army's dissolution. There were no provisions for a general amnesty. Venustiano Carranza refused to allow the continued existence of the Federal Army, the fatal flaw of Madero's regime. Constitutionalist Army general Alvaro Obregón would take control of the city, guaranteeing protection from looting for the population of Mexico City.[3][2] Realizing that the Zapatistas were a continuing threat, Obregón allowed Federal soldiers to remain in place in the southern part of Mexico City, closest to Zapata's stronghold in Morelos, until the Constitutionalist Army could take control.[4] Obregón included the texts of the treaties in his war memoir.[5]
After the dissolution of the Federal Army, Carranza issued a decree suppressing the Military Academy. It reopened its doors in 1920 after Carranza's fall. The Constitutionalist Army was the Mexican army until then.
