Will Answer All Questions
as to Aims and Aspira-
tions of Revolutions
BRYAN REPORTS NO
ADVICES FROM MEXICO
Official Washington Interested in the
Huerta Decision Not to Resign.
Unalterably Opposed to Rec
ognition of His Regime

Washington. August 3.-Official
Washington read with keen interest
today the declaration of Aureliano Ur-
rutia. Mexican minister of the interior
that Provisional President Huerta
would not resign and moreover would
brook no Interference by foreigners
in his administration.
While no plan that the American
government has had under serious con-
sideratlon involved any direct inter-
ference in Mexican affairs. the ad-
mitted attitude of the administration
here is one of unalterable opposition
to the recognition of=the Huerta regime.
May Persuade Resignation
Without the recognition of the Unit
ed States, leading Mexicans hitherto
have claimed Mexico would not be able
to extricate itself from its financial
difficulties. On this account 1t had been
believed here that pressure would be
brought to bear to persuade Provis-
ional President Huerta to resign. The
announcement that he has determined
not to do so has beclouded the situ-
alton and has spurred the constitution
alists to further activity to obtain the
repeal of the embargo on arms They
claim that Ii they do not get arms
the revolution will be a protracted
struggle. With munitions of war, they
say they can quickly bring matters
to a crisis
Gen. Eduardo Hay. who has been
selected by the constitutionalists as
their spokesman, now is in Washing
ton and will present this view to the
Senate foreign relations committee this
week. Having taken part In many bat
ties, Hay is familiar with the military
situation in Mexico and is prepared to
answer all questions as to the aims and
aspirations of the revolutionists.
Hay first came into prominence dur
ing the Madero revolution when as a
young engineer of Scotch Mexican par
entage. educated at Notre Dame uni
yersity, he took up arms against the
Diaz government. He distinguished
himself in many early battles esps-
cially at Casas Grandes. Chihuahua,
where he led a famous charge in which
he WAT wounded several times and loss
his left eye. He was one of Madero' $
chief officers and later was elected to
the Mexican Congress, being chosen
speaker of the Chamber of Deputies
for a short term.
Have Faith in Hay
The constitutionalists are pinning
much faith in the argument Hay will
make before the foreign relations COM
inittee as he is as conversant with the
liberal movement In Mexico as any of
their number.
Secretary Bryan was at his desk in
the state department today but report
ed no advices from Mexico. He said he
would remain here tomorrow at least
and was not certain when he would

Dynamite Believed Responsible
The theory of the miners as to the
cause of the accident is that the first
explosion was of dynamite probably
caused by the laborers in the tunnel
striking a dual-in cap in the debris
with their shovels, setting off IT'S
pounds of dynamite which had been
| carried into the mine in the morning
by the tunnel workers. This explo-
sion, it is believed, liberated a large
| body of gas, which exploded Just as
the rescuing party neared the tunnel,
killing five of the six in the party.
Howard Hand, who was among the
| rescuers killed, just had quit work, in
order to pitch for the Reiner city

before he left the mouth of the slope,
and he returned with the reso,hess and
