new ambassador in the United States
il the person of Emilio Rabaso Is eX
pected to have the effect of bringing
to speedy issue the question OF
recognition by the U. S. Of the provis
icnal government of Mexico. Up tc
the present time the relations be
tween the two governments have been
on de facto basis and the admins
tration has not been committed to q
political recognition of the Huerta
government, although Ambassador
Wilson has freely transacted business
with it..
Now that the threatened revolt OF
Governor Carranza, of Coahuila,
actually has taken form, the military
authorities here have concluded that
it is yet too early to carry out their
plans for any considerable reduction
of the American military force on the
Mexican border. Secretary Stimson
las assured the senate committee on
ft reign relations that precaution has
been taken to prevent the entry into
Texas OF raiding parties of Mexlcans,
end If necessary some OF the troops
now being gathered at Galveston to
make up the second division at least
temporarily will be diverted to patrol
I,t,, ho Gor IL
ports from the American officers on
the north side of the line and the
American consuls in the border states
of Mexico show necessity for such
action.

ports as to the rapid vanishing of the

vlsional president are still talked of
in whispers, but there Is at least an

gether to bring about general peace
which both express themselves as
desiring,
OROZCO FOR HUERTA.

nc vements both north and south ap-
pears to be imminent.
The last adherent to the govern
ment is General Orozco, who has sent
4 telegram declaring his allegiance.
General Emilano Zapata. on the
ether hand, remains obdurate. al
though many of his chief supporters
have come into line with the new or
der of things.

governor of the state of Coahuila, ac-
cording to dispatches received here,
has not succeeded in obtaining gen.
eral support for his attitude against
