IS WAITING ON
HUERTAS REPLY
LAST COMMUNICATION HAS NOT
BEEN DIVULGED.
A CRUISER TO VERA CRUZ
The Scout Chester Is Not a Heavy ship,
But Swift and Valuable for Dis
patch Work and Able to Join
Smaller Craft Inshore.

Waiting for word from
Provisional President Huerta-this was
the attitude Of official Washington in
the Mexican situation,
Administration officials still refused
TO shed any light on the last commune
cation which conveyed TO Gen. Huerta
the desire Of the United States that he
eliminate himself from the tangled sat
uation. Their attitude was that to dis
ouss publicly the delicate phases OF the
problem might defeat the ends being
sought.
The feeling in the national capital IS
none the less one of tense interest, cspe-
cially rs to hat course Will be pur-
sued If Gen. Hucrta declines to Indicate.
II was evident from those who talked
with President Wilson ebOut tire situa-
ton that he was calmly awaiting deyel-
opmcnts. lie has told his friends that
he would continue to try to solve the
situation by peaceful means, and would
not be disturbed by predictions of armed
Intervention.
The belief is general here that the sit
uation is being worked out with extreme
secrecy in diplomatic channels, and that
only when some tangible conclusion has
been reached will there be any official
announcement
The scout cruiser Chester, at the Phil
a delphia Navy Yard, was ordered to
prepare to sail for Vera Cruz immediate
ly. The Chester is not a heavy fight
ing ship, but swift and valuable for dis
patch and scout duty. Of lighter draft
than the big warships now at Vera Cruz,
she will be able to join the smaller craft
inshore.
The Chester has the highest power
wireless apparatus of any ship in the
navy. With the apparatus Washington
and Vera Cruz will be in direct touch
constantly by medium of the great wire
less towers at Arlington. The unofficial
view il that the Chester is being sent
to Vera Cruz principally as a means Of
instant and official communication.
Secretary Daniels explained that thu
dispatch of the Chester was part Of his
plans to substitute cruisers for the heav-
ier battlcships in Mexican waters so
that tho latter might resume practice.
The change, he said, would be made
gradually, as cruisers were not available
on the east coast in any number.
