Americans in Orizaba virtually held
prisoners by the Huertistas.-
Activity at the French consulate and
reiterated rumors that President Huerta
would resign and seek refuge on the
cruiser Conde under the French nag
caused a belief here today that important
developments are impending at Mexico
City. This belief was strengthened by
the sudden departure for the capital of
Lieut.. Laporte. OF the Conde.
The only explanation given at the
10 the capital was that he was the
bearer OF official communications to the
French Minister" NJ. Lefaivre."
Gen. Funston is cooperating with
United States Consul W. w. Canada, the
members of the military governors cabi-
net. and with Rear Admirals Fletcher
and Badger In working out the details
for the rehabilitation of the government
of Vera Cruz. The most perplexing ques-
ton now facing the officers Of the force
of occupation is that of money and ex-
change rates. II is probable that the
United States Treasury Department will
be asked to work out a plan for the
establishment OF Mexican currency,
which Will guarantee and insure the face
value OF the paper money. The rate OF
exchange now is three pesos for CsIe gold
dollar: the Mexican peso being equivalent
to the half dollar in the United States.
Some merchants are demanding $50 in
Mexican money for one gold dollars
worth OF gold.
Financial sharks" have begun corner
ing Mexican money in the belief that the
United States authorities will redeem IL
at its face value when the treasury de-
partment OF the local government Is
established under American Jurisdiction.
Americans Are Deportrd.
Realizing the hopelessness of his posi-
ton, Gen. Huerta will resign the presi-
dency of Mexico on Thursday OF Friday
of this week, and at once will go into
secluslon, according to refugSeS arriv-
ing here today.
Huerta, il is said. has backeI down
from his II won't resign" stand In the
last week, and is said to have come to
the conclusion that his own personal in
terests will be served hest by stepping
down from his position.
The first two Americans to be deported
since the American occupation sailed to-
day on the San Marcos for Galveston.
One OF those deported was J. II. Null
cahy, who obtained guard Of blue
jackets under the pretense OF locating a
cache of secreted arms and then held
up the Pedro Naus canteen for 5000
pesos.
He made the demand in the name of
the United States and promised gambling
privileges in return. Mulcahy was sem
fenced to serve five years. but the SEN
tenCe was remitted and deportation or
dered.
