cutting, the leaves fall off and the
stems become woody, and the yield Of
the next crop Is greatly reduced.

ioicing at the overthrow of Madero,
retel agents here and Diaz syinpath-
izers among the Mexican army officers
at Juarez expressed doubt of the abllltS
of General Huerta to handle the sltua-
ton Doubt was expressed after 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
laander of the northern military zone
having resulted in much feeling among
Officers and civilians.
We will sustain the existing gov
ernment," declared Col. Juan n. Vas
uueZ commander at JuareZ. when asked
today regarding his position.
However, trouble al JuareZ and other
points i'm the state still is threatened by
the volunteer troops. Their officers.
many of them former insurrecto lead :
ers under Madero, are expressing their
faith in the ousted president. Nearly
half of the 1000 troops at JuareZ are
volunteers.
Ii is pointed out by rebel agents
here that the claim to the provisional
presidency Of Emilio Vasquez Gomez,
made some days before the Huerta re-
volt against Madero. will complicate
matters seriously NasqueZ Gomez now

laxed the attitude Of the government
remains one of caution in dealing with
a situation which it is realized con
tains danger to the relations of the
two countries. Officials realize that any
outward exhibition at this stage. either
of coincidence for the men Of the Ma
dero regime or satisfaction in the ac-
cession to power of the new military
party. might be quickly resented by
the Mexican people and do much to
prejudice the status of Americans IN

For the present the attitude of the

observation and non-interference.
Steps Of graver Importance remain to
be taken in the Mexican capital be-
fore the Diaz revolution can be accept

dor Wilson and the other members OF
the diplomatic body of the Mexican
capital will Immediately recognize Cen

be done that foreign representatives
may properly look after the interests
of their own people. But what will
follow that action must be determined
