Gen. Aureliano banquet almost q
foregone conclusion, according to the
official returns, the question as, 10
what Washington proposes to Go IS
Keeping the foreign residents and the
majority Of Mexieans in state OF
painful suspense. On the sufiaee, d,

tie consideration to the subject Scent

Huerta's continuance in the pfesi-

In view of Washinaton's previous

ings, preparatory TO fiight, and are
facing the necessity Of leaving their
household effects to fate. They ex-
press little hope Of finding anything
left upon their possible return. The
inadequate storage facilities are al
ready overtaxed, and most of those
who contemplate flight expect to leave
their home in charge of Mexican care
takers, the only alternative.
The flight of Gen. Felix Diaz while
nevers arousing great interest in the
capital, has practically ceased to be
a subject of comment. His candidacy
was regarded by many Mexicans as a
mere incident of the campaign and
was never taken seriously. His flight
eliminates him from the calculation.
Federico Gamboa. Manuel Calero and
David De La Funte appear to have
conceded their defeat In the face of
obstacles alleged to have been found
in the way of their adherents.
