UNITED STATES WILL
RECOGNIZE HUERTA
IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

Private Information" From
Washington Says Recog-
hition Seriously Con-
sidered, Is Report

Mexico City, November 22-The
Mexican daily newspaper under gov
ernment censorship published on their
front pages today long articles regard
Ing the alleged intention of the Unfit
ed States to recognize Provisional
President Huerta In the near future.
El Independence had a seven column
headline reading: "Huerta Will Be Rec
ognized by the American Government
The Special Envoy of President Wilson
Able to Prove Anarchy Was Reignng In
the Camp of the Rebels of the North"
El Diario similarly displayed an item
stating that Secretary of State Bryan
had already signed a communication rec
ognizing Huerta.
The same paper quotes Querido Moheno,
the Mexican foreign minister, as saying
The has no official knowledge of the
fact, but from private sources 'he has
received very optimistic signs, and has
hopes of an early adjustment of the
difficulties between Mexico and the
United States.
Conference a Failure
that the failure of the conference between
the constitutionalist leader, was due to
the conviction of President Wilson and
Secretary of State Bryan that the rebel
chief could not give assurances for the
safety of the lives ana property of for
eigners.
The newspaper continues:
President Wilson and Secretary of
49, H. II,
to the closing report of their envoy, de-
cided that Provisional President Huerta
was the only man capable of preferably
dominating the situation"
The same paper assures its readers that
an official announcement of the recog-
milton of Provisional President Huerta
lis expected within very few days"
Foundation for the optimism of the
Mexican press appears to be certain cable
grams received here by foreign business
men, describing the horror felt by Pres
ldent Wilsonsat the killing of federal pris-
oners When the rebels took Juarez. These
cables were at first enormously trans
lated as referring to the killing OF Amer
ican army men there.
The Imparcial displayed the item yes
terday, and 1t was reprinted by the aft
ernoon papers. 1t caused an unmistakable
atmosphere of optimism in the National
palace, where the news appeared to be
commonly credited.
Asks That Drafts Be H0n0red
The manager of a local bank. with
branch at Torreon, received a telegram
today from General Francisco. "Pancho
villa," the rebel leader demanding that
his drafts be honored. The bank man
ager is inclined to comply with this de-
mand, fearing harm may come to the
local manager if it be refused.
The officers -of the little garrison of
Ixtapalapla, suburb of the federal cap
ital, were arrested today and are to be
tried by courtmartial for completely in a
plot to start military uprising.
Government officials declare that a.
search of the houses in suburbs brought
forth evidence connecting prominent Mexi-
can army officers with the conspiracy.
The rebels now control a district in
which are located some of the camps of
the Pearson syndicate. This is in the
Tuxpam district in the state of Vera
Cruz, including the Island of Potreros, of
which Thomas Coleman, an American, is
alleged to have been. dispossessed and re-
garding which Nelson o. Shaughnessy, the
American charge daffaires. is treating
with the Mexican foreign office.
The rebels are not interfering with the
work in the oil fields, but are contenting
themselves with collecting tributes.
