SMALL HOPE
' FOR HueRTA
only Hope Of Salvation Of His Re-
glme Lies In Flotation
OF a Loan


cd pessimism Is manifested in the
capitsl as to the future Of the HUI
erta government. In neither official
nor unofficial circles or the state
ments Of Gen. Enrique Obregon, COM
mander of the Sonora insurgents, and
yenustiano Csrranza, ex-governor OF
Coahuila, of the probable overthrow
of Huerta longer derided. Without
exception the newspapers ever that
the only hope OF salvation lies In ssi
the fiotation Of loan. Practically
all of them admit that nonrecognition
of the present administration makes
this very doubtful.
The banks continue to reflect the
governments financial difficulties and
refuse to sell exchange except at ex-
orbitant rates, while merchants are
raising their prices to balance the
difference between Mexican and for.
eign currency.
There is no fixed rate Of exchange.
The bankers are selling practically
Al brokers, and are charging favored
small buyers as low as $50, while
demanding from heavier purchasers
as high as $50.
That the rebels in the north rap
idly are extending their lines Is indi-
Gated by the isolation today OF Mon
terey and saltillo, the capitals re-
spectively Of Nuevo Leon and Goa
hula, by the cutting of the railroad a.
Linares between Monterey and Tam
pico and the main line Of the Nation
al railroad between San Luis Potosi
and Saltillo. Linares is reported to
be occupied by the rebels.
The suspension Of railway traffic
has DETECTED the passenger business
for abroad to Vera Cruz and Tampi-
CO, chiefly to the former. The Next
can railway Is running trains In two
sections to accommodate trafiic.
The Ward line steamer which sail
ed today from Vera Cruz was crowd
ed to overlooking. Some Of the veal
thy travellers had to content them
selves with quarters on the floor OF
the smoking room, while others only
could be accommodated in the Sec
opd cabin, although they paid first
class passage.
Many foreigners are leaving the
country in fear that anarchy will
follow the revolution.
The government Is using every ef-
fort to resist the advance OF the rep-
els, but the extraordinary rapid
growth of the rebellion has brought
the central government face to face
with the most serious situation
which it has been called upon TO
meet. II has not been found posi-
BILE to dispatch any great number OF
troops to the northwest. Chihuahua
Ia inadequstely defended. Coahuiia'
except in the extreme south, practi-
cally has been abandoned. The state
Of Nueyo Leon is protected, only at
the cities along the railroad, ana
there are none too many troops In
Tamaullipas.
The rebels practically are In con-
troll OF the northern frontier. Car
rama and. other insurgent leaders are
demonstrating that they are working
in complete accord. Columns are NOV
ing eastward and westward from
Carranzas command to effect juno
tions. It Is believed here that Gen.
Trucy Aubert, the federal comman'
der, is in some danger OF being cut
off at points which he is attempting
tn hold along the National railroad.
II would cause no surprise II Monte
rev were. attacked. The state OF
Durango also is overrun by rebels.
In the south, where It was believ'
ed the problem had been limited to
the Zapata brothers, the strength 81
the rebels has increased greatly ana
that of the government correspond
ingly diminished by the detection OF
the rurales under the Figueroa broth
ers. A new revolt under Jesus Sal.
gsdo had big following In the state
of Guerrero.
Salgado had been counted upon to
surrender. The government has sent
into the south about $500 men. bu'
no active campaign against the Zap
atlas has yet begun, possibly owing
to the efforts which ARE being made
to obtain the release Of Pascual Oroz
CO, ST., now prisoner in the hands
of Emiliano Zapata 1t is assumed
that the inauguration Of campaign
against these forces would be the
signal for his execution.
