fBy The Associated Pre-.


Vera Cruz, July 1.-THE resignation
o. President Huerts may be placed be-
fore Congress on Monday. the General
departing Immediately thereafter for
Puerto Mexico or Vera Cruz under
British escort according TO reports in
circulation here tonight, which origi-
mated from source that is usually we'll
informed.
Adolfo de la Lama. Minister Of FL
nance in Huertas Cabinet. who ar
rived here to-day en- route to europe,
while refusing to confirm these reports
said that Huerta's retirement at an
early date was not improbable and that
from now until Monday was but
shor' time TO await developments"
Reports from the Mexican capital
also state that Francisco Carbajsl, the
newly appointed Foreign Minister, will
be named Provisional President. This
appointment is said to have been sane
toned secretly by both General Venus
tiano Carranzs, chief of the Constitu-
tionalists, and the United States, and
assurances are said to have been given
by the Constitutionalists that host'li
ties will cease with Carbajsls assuolp-
tion OF Office.
British Admiral as Escort.
Rear Admiral Sir Christopher Cra-
dock, of the British squadron. is now
in Mexico City and it was GENERALLY
reported to-day thai the real purpose
Of his visit wss to escort General
Huerta and the latter,s family person
ally to the coast. where they probae}y
would board British warship. While
it was impossible to obtain positive
confirmation here the reports pointed
out that many recent Developments in
dicate the probability of some such
plan having been made at the capital.
The departure OF Senor de la Lama
and General Joaquin and General
Mario Mas and Roberto Estevs- Ruiz
is considered highly significant, All
OF these men have served Huerta faith
fully and are among his closest coun-
sellors. The Mas brothers are related
TO him by marriage, and Senior de Ia
Lama is second only TO General Blsn-
quet in position in the Huerta Cabinet.
1t is held that Huerta is giving them
an opportunity to leave the country IN
safety before he himself departs, IN
the belief that their lives would not
be secure in the capital after his de-
p8rture.
The American Consul at Vera Cruz,
W. W. Canada, received a request from
the Brazilian Minister that De La
Lama and Esteva-Ruiz be protected
when they reach this port, and that all
courtesies be extended TO them by the
American authorities. II is thought
that these messages were sent at the
request Of General Huerts. They are
the first of the kind that Consul Can
ada has received, although other ON
cials of the Mexican government have
passed the port.
Significant Statements.

representatives of Huerta and Car
rama in New York; his repeated dec
claration that peace would soon be re-
stored in Mexico, and his intims.ion
that the lighting would cease before
the actual attack Of the Constitution
alists on the capital are also consid-
cred significant.
II is said here that Scnor De la
Lama received word OF Huerta's inten-
tion to resign on Monday when he
stopped overnight at CORDOBA, on his
way to Vela Cruz.
Several Of Admiral Cradock's STAFF
officers followed him into the interior
yesterday. saying that they were going
TO Orizaba for recreation. All the Off
GERS. including the admiral, travelled
in civilian clothes. II is assumed that
the staff officers wall join their chief
in the capital il il is true that Admiral
CradOck is to escort General Huerta TO
