LACKED ONLY A FEW VOTES
A CHANGE IN FIVE BALLOTS
WOULD HAVE CONFIRMED
THE SENATE ACTION.
GARDNER CHANGES HIS VOTE.
THEN TRIES TO HAVE ANOTHER
BALLOT CALLED BUT is
UNSUCCESSFUL.

Washington, Feb. 19-The house
today refused by vote of 213 to
ia, to pass the DillIngham-Burnett
immigration bill over the presidents
veto. Five votes changed from the
negative to the affirmative would
have given the two-thirds necessary
to override the veto.
Before the result was announced,
Representative Gardner of Massachu-
sets, one of the leading advocates
of the bill, changed his vote to may"
and after the announcement moved
to reconsider the vote. Speaker
Clark overruled the motion, going
back TO the time of Speaker Jones
of Virginia, in 1874, for the only re
corded precedent on the subject.
Representative Gardner appealed
from the decision Of the chair, but a
motion by Democratic Leader I'm
derwood to lay the motion on the
table blocked the attempt to contin-
ue the contest.
The fight centered on the literacy
test feature Of the bill and the re-
suit vas iistinet sagprises even to
those most earnestly opposed to the
measure.

DOUBT ABILITY
OF GENERAL
HUERTA

Ell Paso, Tex, Feb. l9.-Whlle re-
jcicing at the overthrow of Madero,
rebel agents here and Diaz sympathiz-
ers among the Mexican army officela
at Juarez express doubt of the ability
of General Huerta 10 handle the situa-
ton. Doubt was also held of the
press dispatches saying that General
Diaz had accepted the Huerta claim
to the provisional presidency.
Huerta is not popular in northern
Mexico. His administration as com
mander of the northern military zone
with headquarters at Juarez resulted
in much i'll feeling among his own of
tieers and civilians.
I'VE will sustain the existing gov
ernment," declared Colonel Juan n.
Vasquez, commander at Juarez, when
asked today regarding his position.
Speaking as well for General Rabago,
from whom he had received notice of
the hcange OF national government.
Colonel Vasquez continued:
The army will maintain order and
sustain the acknowledged government.
All is quiet in the north and be-
lleve will remain sol The army is
bound to sustain whatever president
lis named, be it Fran ,isco vilsa meg
salazar or any other bandit"
He made no direct reference to Cen
eral Huerta.
However, trouble at Juarez and 9th
er points in the state still is threat
ened by the volunteer troops. Their
officers, many Of them former insur-
recto leaders under Madero, are ex-
pressing their faith in the ousted
president. III feeling between the
volunteers and regulars has existed
some time. Nearly half of the 1000
troops at Juarez are irregularE
eomez's Claim Causes Complications
1t is pointed out by repe. asen $
here that the claim to the provisional
presidency of Emilio Vasquez Gomez
some days before the Huerta revolt
against Madero, will complicate mat
tiers seriously. Vasquez Gomez now is
in the rebel camp below Juarez with
General Inez salazar, recognized com
mander of the northern revolutionists.
In view of Huertas unpopularity, es-
pecially among the rebels, the Vas
quaez Gomez program, they say, will
stand better chances of being accept
ed by Salazar, in the north, zapata
in the south and the many other rebel
chiefs already in arms.
The plan expressed by General Diaz
to appoint the provisional president
at a congress Of revolutionary repre-
sentatiyes met with approval here.
But the naming of General Huerta
without any representation from the
northern and southern rebels is unex-
peoted and not reckoned to increase
the Diaz popularity

UNITED STATES
NOT TO RELAX
Vigilance

Washington, Feb. 19.-Although its
plans remained set for action in case
Of emergency, the United States today
was distinctly relieved at the over
night news from Mexico telling Of the
abdication of President Madero and
the apparent settlement Of the civil
war that has swept the capital itself.
Preparations for eyentualities, how
ever, were not relaxed. 1t was re-
cognized that readiustment in govern
ment was filled with danger and no
orders were issued that would halt
the movement already begun.
Gathered under the ayowed declara-
ton that they were to be modified
for practice with the Atlantic fleet at
Guantanamo, Cuba, 2,OO0 marines will
be dispatched to that port, as
originally ordered, unless there is
good reason for their recall The navy
department denied that it had issued
any orders in any way setting aside
the original plan of action.
Two factors that must be taken into
account are the probable course of
the Orozco-Salazar revolutionists in
the north and the zapata rebellion in
the south, for if the leaders Of these
movements, as threatened. hold out
against the new Huerta regime, anoth-
er period of disorder and suspense is
expected.
Huerta Notifies Tart.
President Taft today received the
following telegram from victoriano
Huerta, Mexico's provisional COVER
nor general:
Il have the honor to inform you
that have overthrow this govern
ment. The forces are with me and
from now on peace and prosperity
will reign.

Think Huerta the Wrong Man.
Douglas. Ariz., Feb 10. Mexican
officials Of the border at this point,
who never were strong supporters Of
Madero. believe that zapata, Orozco,
salazar and other rebels now in the
field will not conform to the Huerta
following. They declare that Huer-
ia will lack the necessary support to
make him more than passing Incl
dent, and that de la Barra Is the
man upon whom the salvation Of
Mexico depends.
"a provisional president will be
Immediately appointed by congress-
and Huerta made 70 step down" de-
clared Manuel euesta, Mexican con
sui here. "That de Ia Barra VIII be
provisional president and later er;ct-
Cd is practically certain. lie is the
one man who will cement factions
and save the country"

der at Aqua Prieta, sonora opposite
Douglas. also is opposed to Huerta
and fayors de la Barra.
