HUERTA RAISES THE MONEY.
Interest Obligation Of National Rail-
ways to He Paid Tomorrow,

II was announced officially yesterday
nj the Office Of the National Railways OF
Mexico that the coupons due December .
and amounting to fS0I 900. on the s2s.-
100000 two year 6 per cent. gold notes
| issued on June 1 of this year, would be
paid on presentation.
This means that the railways have FOR
the second time narrowly averted de-
faulting on AN interest payment or n
note maturity. With the interest date OF
the notes only two days away, the officials
OF the road managed 10 get the money,
squeezing through with about as narrow
n margin as they did on May 30 Of this
year. when they got lo',n Of ses.13o, ,o0'
the day before the maturity of the &c.
600. 600 notes fell due.
Ever since f. y. Brown. the president
OF the National Railways. arrived in this
city week ago To get funds from the
bankers of the road To meet the interest
on the notes there has been "A feeling
IN the financial district th,t In view Of
the disturbed conditions in Mexico he
might have a hard time raising the money.
as II was known that the property was
not earning It's bond interest.

special meeting on Friday. and il was

Government had shipped 100000 pesos
to New York to pay the interest
In view Of the fact that this amount
could not possibly arrive in New York
within ten days, II Is believed in the
financial district that IN view OF the
shipment of funds the bankers of the
road have agreed to meet the interest
themselves. with the understanding that
the money now In transit shall be turned
over to them upon It's arrival.
Officials Of the company who were al

the coupons would be paid.

free from interest matur,ties until Jan

the situation in Mexico i, clarified by

ADMINISTRATION IS PLEASED.
Rebel Successes Regarded ns Nindi.
cation Of Its Policy.

WAsHINGroN, Nov. 29.--With Pres!den,
Wilson, Secretary Garrison and Secretary
Daniels in New York tonight and Sec
retary Bryan taking a holiday to address
the students of the Hill School at Potts
town, Pa, the Mexican situation in a
large measure was left to take care OF
itself to-day.
The Administration is becoming rapidly
convinced that its diagnosis OF the MeXi-
AN situation was correct when II assumed
that tho long end of the Mexican stakes
was held by the Const.tutionalists.
II is disposed TO congratulate itself that
without tying up 10 the Carranzista fac
tion the political and military movements
in Mexico have worked out in accordance
with the Administrations own beliefs and
that whether the Huerta Coy ernment shall
crumble OF its own weight or not Is OF
small moment in view Of the continuous
Victories of the Constitutonalists in the
feld and the probab bility that in the near
future the Constitutionalist armies will
be at the gates of Mexico city itself.
There Is seemingly only one obstacle
in the way of Carranzas march against
the concentrated Federal forces in the
neghborhood of Mexico city. The posi-
Die stumbling block Is Chihuahua city.
Taking as an example of the Federal
strength the futile campaign which
Huerta's Generals made against Juarez,
I is believed that even this obstacle will
ne pushed aside in much the same fashion
rs the triumphant handling of the JuareZ
campaign was conducted
II was reported to the State Depa rtment
that Gen. Villas army is we'll supplied
with arms and ammunition, including ma
chime guns and heavier artillery Much
uf this ordnance was acquired by the
rebel forces through capture from the
forces OF Salazar. . ozcO and their sub
ordinate commanders.
There is growing belief that within
four or six weeks the final stand OF the
IIuerta forces Will he made near or at
Mexico city The problem which the State
department is now considering Is how
TO safeguard the hundreds of foreigners
there and near by
The internal organizations for sef-pro-
lection by the foreigners are known To be
excellent in form, but the smallness of
their numbers and the character Of the
fighting that VIII mark the latter hours
of the Huerta regime occasions the De-
partment uneasness.

Staies Government will make very definite

other rebel leaders and that the future

that the Government will take in $12,-

considered improbable, as the imports

licvc that the present regime will not

railroad station there.
Rumors Of cabinet shnkeup.
Runors of a general shakcup in the
Cabinet are rife this evening. The
changes, which are expected to he made
are taken AZ evidence that President
Huerta desires to pacate tho United
States.
Senor l'rru,ia. who has held the port
folio of Minister of Justice I'm the
Huerta Cabinet, is said to be slated to
be Minister Of the Interior. He is
sincere friend of Americans and has
great influence over Gen. Hucrta.
