HUERTA TO YIELD: r.
REBELS IN FAVOR
OF FINISH FIGHT

Washington, July 14.--Mexico City
was looked to today as the place where
the next big scene in the Mexican sit
uation would be staged. With Huerta
to his new foreign minister, Francisco
Carbajal, II ives expected that way
might be found peacefully to transfer
the government to the CONSTITUTIONAL
lists and avert military conquest of the
capital by their triumphant forces. Car
rama has announced his unwillingness
to deal with Carbajal. Regarding him
as the creation of Huerta. Neverthe-
less 1t has been suggested that parleys
for the quick transition of power might
take place II Carbajal appeared In the
role of representative OF a faction,
rather than as provisional head Of a
government which the constitutional
lists refuse to recognize. &+ eH
Carranza, IL was declared, intended
to adhere to the plan of Guadalupe,
which provides for military occupa-
ton Of the capital However, several
European and South American nations
might frown on such a plan. Huerta,
tits said, might leave for Chapultupec
some day this week. Automatically
the new foreign minister, Francisco
Carbajal would assume the role Of pro-
visional president
The proposed resignation Of Huerta
was confirmed by Roberta Esteva- Ruiz,
sub-secretary of foreign affairs, In an
interview at Vera Cruz yesterday.
Senior. Estava Ruiz is enroute to
Europe.
Just when the change will come, Es-
teva-Ruiz said, he did not know. THE
president did not make me his conf
dant," he declared, NOR did / have
much time to talk with him after 1t
was determined that should leave the
cabinet" He was convinced, however,
that Huerta would lay down his power
during the coming week and it would
not surprise him. he said, If his resig-
nation were announced today.
Carbajal, he said, was suggested as
provisional president by the American
delegation at the Niagara Falls media
ton conference and agreed to by HUI
erta's delegates and the South Amer
ican mediators, while the constitution
alists indirectly had conveyed the idea
that he would be acceptable to Car
rama. rs ..r MI. at
THAT is" explained the Mexican sub
secretary, "Carbajal would be a more
provisional president than the real pro-
visional president to be named later"
When the suggestion was first made
Villa had not indicated his willingness
to accept Carbajal. Esteva-Ruiz went
orr, and he doubted Villas willingness
to accept him now. AS for Zapata, he
had no idea that the southern leader
would recognize any provisional presi-
dent until demands for the redistribu-
ton of lands had been complied with,
and he intiniated that objections to
such q solution of Mexico's problem
might come from certain parts OF the
northern states.
Unless something occurs to disar-
range the present plans Ruiz Is con-
WINGED that fighting between federals
and constitutionalists is over. This, he
said, was indicated by the evacuation
of Guadalajara
Like Porflrio Diaz, who fled from his
country in the hope that his going
might avert a long and costly civil war,
Huerta, according to Ruiz, has de-
cided to yield to superiority. In num-
bers. Both Huerta and General Blan-
quet, his minister of war, knew that
longer resistance was futile.
