MENICQ CITY, May 20.-Offers
from thousands of Japanese in Mexico
to join in body the rebel troops OF
Gen. Nenustiano Carranza. opposing the
Huerta government, are reported here
today. The offer is said to have been
refused by the reeb chiefs. Other
reports say the Japanese will enlist in
dividually. About 800 japanese are
now said to be fighting on each side
in the revolutionary struggle in the
Mexican provinces.
1t is semi officially announced here
that loan of s15 900 900 to the Huerta
government is assured. This amount
will come partly from French bankers
and partly from private fortunes Of
Felix DiaZ and Jose Ives Limantour.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-Pessimism
prevails in official and congressional
circles over conditions in Mexico. In
formation is that the opponents of the
huerta regime are making progress and
that Huerta cannot last.
Neither President Wilson nor Secrr-
tary Bryan is willing to recognize the
Huerta government. If they sought to.
they would be running directly counte"
to the feeling in congress and thi,
country. The widespread belief that
Huerta and Diaz plotted the staying of
Madero stands in the way of recogn'-
ton and probably will stand in The
way of it to the end
Moreover, there is report that the
real mission Of Colonel House of Texts
and Hugh Wallace abroad is to see to
It that foreign bankers. especially th3
English. do not bolster up the EIuerta
government by making loans to it, Ofl-
cial yerification is lacking to This re-
port, but there is no doubt the govern
ment here would be unwilling to see
Huerta given long lease of official life
by foreign loan. Whether it would be
possible to balk such loan, in as much
as England has recognized the Huertl
government, is another question.
In any event, the feeling is deep
seated in congress that there is moth
ing ahead in Mexico but years Of tur-
moil. A prominent Republican senator
who has persi>tentIy declared this
country must keep hands off in Mexico.
and still adheres to that doctrine, de
clared the Mexican question was the
biggest international problem confront
ing the United States today. He said
the alien land Question, as raised in
California. was minor beside it.
THE question which is confronting
us and which is going to be difficult IN
the extreme for US to solve" said he,
''is whether we are going to extend our
borders south to Panama: say Panama
because if it 50 happens thatwe should
enter Mexico that would mean nothing
would stand between Us and the canal
This senator added that the IIuerta
government was unstable, ami could not
last; that the revolutionists were SSH
rife in Mexico: that no end of their
troubles was in sight: that it SCENE /
as if a succession of revolutions for
years to come was TO prevail below The
Rio Grande. and that the pressure on
this government to take a hand was
getting stronger and would be Still more
intense from month to month and year
TO year. The stable government 50
badly needed in Mexico. he said, was
seemingly more remote than ever.
