Washington, July 23.-Rumors of
conditions surrounding the Huerta gov
eminent, in Mexico have put admins
tration officials in an attitude, of keen
est apprehension toward the situation
there. Advices Monday which Off
Gals believe to be trustworthy seem
to Indicate that the strife between
the Huerta regime and the revolution
airy elements is nearing a point
where some definite conclusion is to
be reached.
Revelation of this Information was
coupled with an authoritative state
ment that the United States was max
ing no additional naval or military
preparations.
Reports of an impending collapse Of
the Huerta regime were talked over
in official circles, but no official of
the administration would permit his
name to be coupled with them.
Ambassador Wilson was at Havana
last night. An indication of desire
to hurry him to Washington was seen
in a request by Secretary Bryan to
Surgeon General Blue to expedite the
ambassadors passage through quar-
antine at Havana and Key West.
So delicate is the Mexican situation
considered in official circles that the
White House issued the following
statement last night to clear up mis-
representations:
"On his attention being called to
the following statements, appearing
in certain afternoon newspapers Cd
that the president had stated that he
would not recognize the Huerta ad-
ministration and that it would not
last a year; CD that the president
had stated that this country would
establish protectorate over all Cen
trail American countries to guard the
Panama canal, Secretary Tumulty stat
ed that there was absolutely no foun-
dation in truth for either of the above
statements and emphatically denied
that the president had expressed any
opinion at any time regarding the
Huerta administration or it's stability
or stated any intention as to it's rec
ignition"
