HuERTA FACING REVOLT.
Foreigners Just From Mexico Expect
Uprising There.

Vera Cruz-A revolt in the Mexican
Army in the capital at any moment
would cause no surprise, according to
refugees arriving here. Foreigners
there expect daily the beginning of
another period similar to that of Feb
ruary last year.
The refugees assert that all that is
lacking to bring about such an upris-
ing is a leader with sufficient courage
to head the movement. They say
treason against General Huerta is
uttered boldly on the streets and in
the saloons, were formerly conspira-
tors surrounded themselves with all
possible secrecy.
Mexico City is overrun with adher-
ents of Venustiano Carranza, and
these men appear anxious to forestall
any attempt of General Huerta and his
followers to escape. All the Cabinet
officers and General Huerta himself
are said to be kept under close watch
to prevent their flight.
The resignation of more members of
the Cabinet, including Querido Mo-
heno, who was the most jealous sup
porter of General Huerta, is rumored
as likely in the near future.
