The women of the party boarded the British cruiser Bristol.
 Flour hundred soldiers, the pick of the army, selected hv General .Huerta, months ago, preceded and followed the special in military trains.
 Alongside the track holding the speclai ts,ins the Mexican gunboat Zaragoza had taken up position in the river. short distance out the British cruiser Bristol. which had arrived few hours previously, was moored, and beyond the Bristol lay 1 the German cruiser Dresden, which came into the river at top speed just before the arrival of the trains.
 It is announced unofficially that another British warship is on the way here from Vera Cruz and it is reported that both British and German vessels are prepared to render any services necessary to make the removal from Mexico of the Huerta ,and Blanquet families peaceful.
 No Demonstration
 When the trains pulled in hardly resi- dent of the town kne anything about it. and there has been no demonstration of any kind
 The Des Moines and Paducah of the American fleet are lying just at the mouth of the river.
 Captain Fanshaw of the Bristol does not know whether the honor of conveying the Huerta family out of Mexico is to be his. His instructions are to afford asylum in case of trouble, and although no trouble has occurred, Sonora Huerta. Sonora 12lanauet and the other women decided to Accept his hospitality.
 N Capt. Erich Koler of the Dresden also has orders to place his boat at the dis ppsal of Huerta and Banquet, who are HOW on their way here, but he professes to ls equally ignorant of the service he will 9ie called on to perform. As matter of fact these will depend largely on the ex-prosident, and it is believed that ne will accept the offer to carry him abroad.
 Jorge and Victor Huerta and two or three ether men took a trip around the town, but the morning was spent by the women in the stuffy cars, in which they sweltered. There was not breath of air ard mosquitoes penetrated every un- guarded crevce.

 The arrival a Puerto, Mex, of the ex- | President and the ex-war minister is looked for between and o'clock tomor- rcw morning It is expected they will ask l the Dresden and Bristol to carry the refugees to some neural port, where they can transfer tc regular steamer for Flu rope. The next steamer scheduled to sai from this port for an European port is ! the Buenos Aires, and she is not due here { until July 9. It Is thought Huerta will not wait that length of time. Jorge Huertd, who holds the rank o1 II friends ard bore himself as jalntily as R in the capital He did not associate with Americans. however. and to his Mexican friends he was outspoken in his express siuns of disGlproval of Americans. a A few constituencies are known to 4 be operating not far from Puerto, Mex but nothing has occurred to indicate any movement on the part of Huertas enemies ito interfere with his leave-taking.
