Conditions May Develop.

upon after wise counsel, not alone De-

Change in Oficials Possible.
The provisional Mexican government,
il has been pointed out, is encountering
financial difficulties, and there have been
intimations that there might be a change
in the government personnel which would
open the way TO negotiations upon a
definite basis that would lead to an cleo
ton for the Mexican presidency under
constitutional regulation.

Secretary Bryan, before he left Wash

protest which came from Mexico City
against President Wilson's advice to
Americans to leave the country.
Criticism From Constitutionalists.
Constitutionalist representatives here
were much worked up last night over
what they termed the "brazen nerve Of
Senior Sebastian Camacho. president of
the Mexican senate. who sent telegram
TO friends in New York yesterday, asking
them to protest to President Wilson
against his recommendation that all
Americans leave Mexico Immediately.
According to the constitutiOnalists. it
was Senior Camacho who was one of the
prime movers in the plot which ended in
the killing Of President Madero and the
establishment of Huerta in power. They
said that a number of the meetings of
the ringleaders in the plot were held in
Senior Camacho's residence
Senior Camacho did much to hasten the
overthrow of Madero. the constitutional
lists said, by telling the people that Ma
dero favored Intervention by the United
States, although he knew this to be
false. They classed him as one of the
most dangerous of Huerta's adherents.
The claims OF Senior Camacho that the
Huerta forces are in control of prac-
tically the entire republic were laughed
at by the constitutionalists. who said
that ;he reports of battles prove to the
contrary.
The constitutionalists here said they
had renewed information that the
Huerta administration is in desperate
straits financially. and that reports sent
out from Mexico City concerning new
loans are deliberately falsified for the
purpose of Disgusting the true state of
affairs.
