The children and young women of the party, used as they were to the comforts and luxuries of wealthy homes. caught some of the spirit of camping out, and the laugh ter that reached shore until late at night evidenced the fact that they are not now greatly perturbed by their plight With the dawn, however, the women appeared fatigued and de- pressed.
 Chagrin Was Undisguised.
 Not until early today did the news reach the men who led the Huerta exodus that Francisco Carbajal, to whom Huerta turned over the pro- visional presidency, had virtually asked General Carranxa to come to the capital. Their chagrin was un- disguised, but none expressed sur- prise except at what they termed Carbajal's precipitate action. Most thought, to quote the expression of one of them, that .'He should have waited until Huerta was out of the country at least.''

newspapers today are as divided in opinion in respect to the force of the foul blow given by Smith as were these of the morning newspapers Men with actual ring experience, such as Fred Welsh, the lightweight cham pion, however. say that Carpenter was not hurt and that tho scene which followed the foul blow was the result of quick simultaneous working of the brains of Carpentier and his seconds.
 Only Thing Possible.
 Eugene Corri, the referee. it Is ad- mitted by all, did the only thing pos sible after Deschamps had claimed a foul.
 In their editorial comments on the match all the newspapers declare that it was clear Smith did not make any intentional attempt to strike a foul blow.
 Not Slightest Difficulty.
 "If 'Gunboat' Smith wants a return match right away he is not going to encounter the slightest difficulty" said Carpentier's manager later in the day.
 !, "It is Carpenters wish, as it is mine, that the white champion of the world should retain the championship not by a mere fluke or disqualifica- tion, but by right of superiority in boxing" he continued.
 Early Return Match.
 Both sides thus far have put them- selves on record as desiring an early return match, and the only bar to such a meeting appears to be the ar rnngement of & suitable purse.
 Deschamps. commenting on what he termed the disappointing end of yes- terday's fight, said both he and Car pentier were dissatisfied with the re- suit. He added:
 Wanted Fight to Proceed.
 Carpenter personally wanted the fight to proceed, but I thought the blow he received from Smith while he was down would have proved det- rimental had the fight gone on. It knocked all the brilliancy out of the French boy.
 "Carpentier is quite ready and in- deed anxious to meet Smith again. He regrets he was not allowed to win the championship on a clean, straight forward knockout, for he had Smith beaten almost from the outset. Car pentier is very sorry his opponent gave him foul blow that put an end to the match. Had the referee al- lowed the fight to go on the French boy was absolutely certain of vic- tory" f-&t

Will Arrive Today.

Puerto Mexico, July 17-General Huerta on his leisurely journey from Mexico City to this port passed the night at Tierra Blanca, in the state of Vera Cruz, the center of district overrun by small bands of revolu- tionists, who have boasted that they will never let the departing former dictator reach the coast.
 Under the best conditions, Huerta could not arrive here before noon. and it was thought unlikely by his waiting family that he would be in Puerto Mexico before late in the af- ternoon.
 Troops Guard Trains
 It was o'clock this morning when Huerta departed from Tierra Blanca, his train being preceded and followed by troop trains. No orders were given to the engineers sto attempt to make up the lost time.
 General Huertas failure to hasten his exit from the country was the cause of some worry to his wife, while Sonora Blanquet, whose hus- band, former minister of war, is with his old chief was frightened into hys- terics by the delay Reports from various points along the line gave no reason to believe that any unpleasant incident has occurred.s
 Destination of Huerta.
 Jamaica is frequently mentioned aboard the foreign ships as the des- tinatfon of General Huerta. although all admitted that the nnal choice of a place of refuge lay with the over thrown provisional president, who will arrive here today. Huerta is Laid to- have mentioned that port to few of his friends as the one to which he would go should he ever leave the country. He would have no difficulty in transferring there to some trans Atlantic steamer without attrac- ing attention as he would in Havana.
 A little more than a cables length from the German cruiser Dresden, on which 1t is expected General Huerta will go. Mrs. Huerta and number of the women in her party spent their first night off shore on the British cruiser Bristol. The older women were given the best quarters on the

Paris, July 17.--General Porfirio' Diaz, former president of Mexico, was packing in preparation for his de- parture for Biarritz where he Is going to spend the season. when news came that Provisional President Huerta had decided to resign. Neither the former dictator nor his son. Porfirio, would make any comment
 Privately General Diaz often has sharply criticised the policy of the Washington administration but he has for some time held the opinion that Huerta's disappearance would facilitate a solution of the Mexican problem.

 $l5,OOOo for Carpenter.
 The stakes for last nights match were paid today, Carpenter personal ly receiving a check for $15,0OO while Buckley received $1O,OOO on behalf of Smith who was not present Buckley took the check without
 
 against the decision but wanted to discuss the fairness of Eugene Corri's ruling. He displayed deep annoy ance and refused to shake hands with Corri.
 May Meet Wells. @ The chairman of the gathering de- clined to permit any discussion.
 For the first time Deschamps re- vealed today that he had promised to match Carpenter against Wells if the Frenchman proved successful in yesterdays match. When this match is over, he added. Carpenter would meet Smith. Dick Burge offers a purse for another fight.
 Show Real Sportsmanship.

 V The American boxer declared he was willing to meet the Frenchman Anywhere and at any time and would nrefer that the winner should take the entire purse or gate money.
 Carpenter Is Silent.
 Carpenter would make no reply to s&mith's offer to fight again, saying Ithe matter was one for the considera- tton of his manager, who-had not had hime. yet to take the matter up.
 N Smith today asserted that he never would fight again before a cinemato- graph. He said his eyes were weak and he had to wear glasses in the laun1ight. Last night the glare of the flights puzzled him and he thought this possibly had something to do with his Ntriking Carpenter while the French man, was down.
 Smith insisted that even if his glove Houched Carpenter 1t was uninten- Monal and the blow did not hurt his Apponent. Any other boxer, he said, would have continued to fight. As t0 the blow which knocked him down a1l the fourth round. Smith said that Mhileeit. was 8 hard one it did not ,ppt him out and he had simply re- miained down to gain the benefit of the rest.

 Field Manocuvres Tonight.
 Mantle, Conn. July 17.-Work in the military reservation this morn ing was in preparation for the field nianoeuvres tonight, and the sham fight in the morning. Both regiments were on the parade ground for conn pany and battalion drill and later tkere were formations for attack and skirmishing. A half hours rest fol- lowed and then both regiments put in an hour tent pitching.
 Shortly after noon the entire force left for a hike into the surrounding country. Theoretically there are two armies, and the march was pre- ccded by the pushing out of outposts for eight or ten miles, while the regi- nents individually were made up as ccntesting forces. The main bodies VI ere marched about three miles from camp grounds. It is expected that the clash soon after daybreak tomor- row will be about i've miles from the reservation.

 General, Villa Made Supreme.
 When the break came between Gen. erals Francisco Villa and vsnustiano Carranza the cause of tho rebels, which this country has more or less approved. received q shock only to be followed by
 the quick deciaration that the differ ences had been patched up and that General Villa again was master of the situation. The news was as joyously welcomed in the United States a. 1t was gloomily received in the Mexican
 capital, where General Huerta hoped
 to profit immensely by tho division of his fcos. .@ss .tt& 8 It soon became known how every one
 of fourteen generals in the central and
 northern divisions of the Constitution alist army, even to General Manuel
