Postal inspectors, Southern Pacific

ives agree that every detail of de-
scription and mode of procedure
brands the lone bandit who riled the
mail car on the Shore Line Limited
between San Jose and San Francisco
last night as the same reckless out
law who looted the Pullman on the
San Francisco Limited near Richmond
Friday evening and gunned his way
through mail car in broad daylight

PREPARES STATEMENT

Senor Moheno, minister of foreign
affairs, today completed statement.
for presentation to members of the
diplomatic corps in Mexico City. He
submitted it to Huerta for his ap-
prova1 but reported to other mem
bers of the cabinet that he advised
Huerta to withhold action upon the
statement and that he had consented.
to do so.
Friends whom Moheno has taken
into his confidence intimated the
statement in reality is an appeal to
the powers for financial help. based
upon the declarations that only the
lack of funds prevented the govern
ment from carrying out its. pledges.
The opposition in the cabinet is
headed by Banquet, and his. action
has precipitated clash between the
departments of war and the foreign
affairs that will likely result in at
least one more resignation from tho
cabinet. Rumor has it that Moheno
will retire.
He summoned Doctor Urrutia, the
former minister of the interior, to
Chapultepec today and offered him
his old post, which was made vacant
by the resignation of Manuel CARA
Aldape. Doctor Urrutia is expected
to accept. He has always hated the
Americans, and if he goes into the
cabinet he will undoubtedly use all
his influence against the United
States.
KEEPS SPY ON DEPUTIES
No important development in the
situation involving the American and
Mexican governments is now expect
ed until Thursday. On that day
congress is scheduled to complete its
permanent organization. Huerta is
keeping close watch over all the
congressional leaders. This was
shown today when he detailed Off
GERS of his military household to act
as a bodyguard. for General Fran
cisco Pronces, chairman of the sem
ate This officer in reality is spy.
All prisoners arrested by order of
