The Washington times., 1913-04-18

The city of Monterey. the Chicago
of Mexico and the most important
railroad center in the northern part OF
the country, is expected to fall into
the hands of the revolutionists within
a few days, according to positive state
ments of the Mexican revolutionary
agents in Washington. These state
ments, moreover, are generally borne
out by intimate reports from news
sources in Mexico.
With the fall of Monterey 1t Will be-
come the capital of the north Mexico
revolutionists. The railroad lines which
center there, and which nave Tor the
greater part been put out OF commis-
sion, will be restored as fast as pos
sible.
At present, all the lines north and
west of Monterey are out of business.
The only road operating from the city
is a line to the southwest, by which
Tampico is reached. and. from Tam
pico. by a zig-zag, roundabout route,
the City of Mexico. This last line will
be cut within a few days, according
to advices received here. and then
Monterey will be completely isolated.
1t is believed there are not over 500
federal troops there.
The capture of Monterey is expected
to be the signal for big extension of
revolutionary activities throughout the

ary agent in Washington. declared posi-
lively today that the revolutlonlsts
would not ask recognition of their bel
ligerency at the hands of the American
State Department.
Not a New Revolution.
He explained: This is not new
revolution. It is the same national up
rising that started in 1910. The rise of
the Maderos to leadership was detail;
so was the collapse of Diaz. the election
of Madero, and his murder The revolu-
ton did not consist of q man or a FAM
lily. and it is going right on. 1t Is
certain to win; no more certain than
il was in the very hour OF Huerta
momentarily successful treason, but to-
day more obviosuly certain. The whole
world knows now that the statements
We have made throught were true"
The revolutionary agents in Washing
ton declare that they will keep away
from the State Department. because
they don't want to embarrass II with
their demands for recognition as bel
will perform, not talk" said Senior

The tentative move on the part of
the British government toward recog-
milton of the Huerta government has
rather pleased the revolutionists than
otherwise. it is declared. On this point
the local junta is reticent. but 1t is
known that the situation is regarded
about thus:
Huerta Fears Washington.
Huerta hates and fears Washington.
and, in his ignorance, believed he could
make an appeal in London. through
some of the British concession owners,
that would array the English govern
ment in hostility toward Washington.
So he offered Bartolome CarvajaI y
Rosas as minister to London, Rosas be-
States, whom the State Department
does not at all fancy because OF his
former record. The London govern
ment has indicated that Rosas would be
acceptable to It. though il has not Yet
formally received him.
The revolutionaries calculate that. in
thus giving offense to Washington.
Huerta overdid matters and decidedly
injured his chance Of getting any recog-
milton here. The pronouncements of the
State Department have completely
big loan in this country or Europe, and
he must have money soon. Meanwhile.
the British squint toward recognition of
Huerta will do him no real good

distinctly offensive to Washington, and
