Washington, May 20.-Despite the
many unofficial reports that Huerta is
willing to resign, on certain conditions
this government has received nothing
TO substantiate them, and, in fact, re-
CARDS them with suspicion and as indi-
eating that the Mexican dictator is try
ang to throw dust in the administra-
lions eyes.
1t is positively known that neither
this government, the A.-B.-C. media
tors nor the Huerta Representatives to
the peace parley at Niagara Falls
have received anything from Huerta
indicating his intention of submitting
any propositions which include his res
3gnation.
1t is definitely known also that the
administration believes Huerta will
not resign, at least under circum-
stances which will be accepted by the
united States.
DR.. Aureliano Urrutia, who was
once Huerta's most trusted counselor
In the cabinet, and who as minister
o. the interior is popularity believed to
have been the author Of many orders
for the disappearance of the chiefs
political enemies, arrived here on Mon
day among the refugees from the cap
1tal. He had fed from the wrath Of
Huerta.
Doctor Urrutia said he had not been
subjected to any overt act Of hostility
by Huerta, but had decided that to re-
main within reach of the provisional
president was to court death. He had
been convinced Of this by the testi-
mony of friends and by what he him
self had seen. He declared he pre-
ferred to enter the American lines
and trust to the hospitality of the
American authorities in Vera Cruz. He
was accompanied by his family and
said he expected to remain here indef-
initely.
The former minister Of the interior
declared he had stolen away from the
capital in the same way as any other
fugitive. He had succeeded in eiud-
ing General Huerta's agents and ar
rived within the American lines with
out his identity being disclosed so far
as he knew.
Vera Cruz, May 19.-Activity Of
Mexican forces beyond the American
lines increased during Sunday. Refu-
gees appeared within the American
lines and declared that Mexican
cavalry was approaching from the
northeast. The refugees expressed
the opinion that the Mexicans were
preparing to attack the city.
Herr Everbusch, German consul at
Tampico, was insulted by rebel colo
mel, member OF General Caballeros
stan, while attempting to arrange for
the departure of lao refugees aboard
the Hamburg-American liner Ypiranga.
1t is reported the captain of the Ger
man cruiser Dresden was prepared to
land marines, IL necessary, tc obtain
the release of the fugitives.
Arrangements had been made at
Tampico for the departure of the Ypi-
ranga, but later the rebel officers or
dered all the passengers off the yes
sci. Thereupon the consul with an Of
hcer of the cruiser Dresden, went to
see the rebel leaders.
This low-bred German consul
makes me tired" said the rebel colo
mel.
The consul protested, whereupon
the rebel repeated the insult and
reached for weapon. General Cabal-
Zero interviewed and the departure OF
the ship was finally arranged after the
refugees had been held all night
It was believed the rebels wanted
an excuse to seize the arms and am
munition aboard the Ypiranga, which
were not delivered to Huerta.
Washington, May 19-President
Huerta's elimination from power in
Mexico through his own delegates TO
the mediation conference in Niagara
Falls was deemed a certainty after
the delegates had explained their at
Burglars Hanged.
