Washington, March 1.-The admins
tration in two actions has announced its
belief in the stability of the Huerta gov
eminent in Mexico.
Orders were sent the military COM
manders from California to Texas to re-
lease all Mexican refugees captured on
the American side. Safe conduct was
granted Co. DeLaFuente and his party
to proceed to San Antonio for an inn
portant conference between the factions
in the interest of general peace.
Various reports Of adhesion of rebel
chiefs to the government have been re-
ceived.
Though six warships now in Mexican
ports will remain, drills have been re-
sumed off Guantanamo by the big heet
which has been held in readiness.
Mexico City, March IAN attack on
the rebel governor Of Aguascalientes, Al
berto Fuenetes ID, was expected yester.
day by a force of government troops
under Gen. Carlos Garcia Hidalgo.
The state capital, Aguasealientes, had
been surrounded by government troops,
who last night began siege. Governor
Fuentes ID, who absolutely refused to
recognize President Huerta's government,
took up his position in the government
palace in the center OF the city, where
he was surrounded by force OF state
troops much inferior in numbers and ar
mament in the army commanded by
General Hidslgo.
The federal commander early this
morning asked for final instructions
from the central administration before
beginning the attack.
Another encounter was expected to be
brought about between the rebels and
the federal troops, as Gen. Trucy Aubert
and his column were about to effect a
junction with forces under Gen. Geroni-
mo Trevno and the combined army was
then to close in on the rebels at Saltillo,
commanded by the defiant governor of
the state of Coahuila, Venustiano Car
rama.
The isolation OF Mexico City from the
United States by rail was complete yes
terday. The train service south OF |
Aguscalientes on the Mexican Central |
line, owing to the occupation of that |
city by Governor Fuentes ID, and his /
rebel followers, who refused to recognize |
President Huerta in any |
way, was entirely annulled, while the |
presence of another rebel force at Sal
tillo prevented the operation OF trains to
the north over the national railroad lines. |
The roads to Tampico also were inter-
rupted, thus making detour by way OF |
that port from the United States to this
city impossible.

months conducted semi official negotia
tions for peace between the late Presi-
dent Madero and Emiliano Zapata, said
