REIGNS
IN MEXICO CITY
Huerta Has Taken to Drinking Again
and Makes Plans to
Flee,

United Press Leased Wire Service. ]
VERA CRUZ, Mexico, June 3d.
Chaos reigns in Mexico City accord
ing to the first British subjects who
fled the capital under advice of Sir
Lionel Garden, British minister, who
arrived here this afternoon. They
say that neither Huerta's army Of
f1cers or cabinet members longer
make any pretence Of obeying the die
tator's orders, and that condition OF
anarchy is near.
Huerta, the refugees declare, has
again taken to hard drinking after
three weeks of practical abstinence.
His condition is rapidly fastening
what seems to be the near collapse OF
his power.
To add to the other troubles, Of the
Mexican capital. the supply of fuel is
running short and It will be only a
few days until there is no coal for
engines to drag trains from there to
the coast.
Every one Of the refugees declared
that Huerta soon must fall. That he
realizes the end Of his power is near
was the opinion Of all. As proof, they
asserted that Huerta already has sent
his son and daughter toward Puerto
Mexico and was making preparations
for his own speedy fight when the
moment came Armored trains, they
said, were standing ready for use In
Mexico City and it was believed that
Huerta when the explosion comes,
will be one of the widest and he will
make a dash for Puerto Mexico or
Vera Cruz whichever seems most ad-
visable.
