PUERTO, Mexico. July 1s.-Ex-Presi-
dent Huerta and his party may be de-
layed for several days in their depart
ure from Mexico. \ message received
late tonight from President Carbajal re-
fused the use of the Mexican gunboats
for that purpose. The message ex-
pIained that II was not deemed wise at
this time that the Mexican warships
should be used for such a purpose, but
stated that the government would pay
for the use of any vessel that Huerta
might charter.
Most OF the members of the party showed
much disappointment, because they could
not get out OF here Immediately. Espe-
cialy did the young women display dis
satisfaction. For most of them the trip
abroad means the pleasures of European
cities and they desire to hurry affairs.
Visits German Captain.
Huerta made a call late in the after
noon on the captain of the German
cruiser, Dresden. a small crowd gath
cred to watch him alight from the train
and go aboard the cruiser lying a short
distance out, but when the stubby old
man in plain clothes, accompanied by
General Banquet in full uniform and
three members of his staff. walked to
the landing, where the Dresden launch
was waiting, there was no evidence, OF
emotion other than curiosity.
Some one lifted up his voice in thin
viva" but the answering call was thin
ner still The spectators we're the idle
element and they were there to see and
nothing more.
Huerta went over the side with the
requisite number of sailors at the rail,
hut there was no salute. Anything re-
sembling formality in connection with his
visit was lacking.
General Hernadez, who has been COVER
nor of Puehla, arrived. here late today
on special train. General Tamon
Corona, an active supporter of Huerta,
and several other officers are expected
to reach here before the ex-president de-
parts 1t has virtually been decided that
Huerta and Banquet will go to Jamaica
on the Dresden, but it is equally GER
tain that the British cruiser Bristol win
carry no passengers.
1t is suggested here that the fact
that the Bristol received the refugees
aboard, and later landed them, may have
been due to some diplomatic development
Of which all profess ignorance The only
thing apparently known aboard the
Bristol is that" there are no sailing
orders"
Discusses Mexico,
General Huerta chatted freely with Cap
tain Kohler regarding Mexico lie said
the time would come, he hoped, when
Mexico would hold its place among the
other nations and be entitled to the
respect of all
1T is civilization my country needs,
he said, that is a matter of schools. We
are getting them and we must have more
civilization and education are largely the
same thing and Mexico is woefully lack
ing in education
Captain Fanshaw OF the Bristol paid
his respects to the ex-president in the
morning as did also the commander OF
the Dresden. Until late in the afternoon
General Huerta had not called upon or
seen his wife or the other women mem
hers of his family. MOI had General
Banquet seen Sonora Banquet. notwith-
standing the fact that only the customs
warehouses separated the two special
trains.
Sonora Huerta and the other women who
had been on the Bristol were transferred
to the Mexican gunboat ZaragOza at noon.
They then had come ashore and had
lunch in one Of the coaches in the train.
In the evening they visited the Dresden.
DisaEreenbIe for Women.
Housed in heated railway coaches and
forced TO listen 10 the continuous grind
ing OF trains and the humping Of cars.
the stay of the women here is becoming
almost intolerable. In contrast, the soldiers
accustomed to campaigning seem to be
enjoying themselves. They and their
"soldaderas" are idling in the shadow of
the box cars and bathing beneath the
hydrants with happy unconcern. their
