lBy Associated rressl

Vera Cruz, Mexico, March 4.-The
government suppressed "El Moniteur,"
la newspaper, and imprisoned six edi.
tors. charged with circulating false
news calculated to incite popular ami
mostly against the United States.
In view of the recent sharp ex-
changes and difference between the
United States and the rebels, it is
thought Huerta has purpose in sup
pressing the papers referred to. He
may be trying to create fair weather
with the United States. With this
show of friendly interest and the
strained relations between Washing
ton and Carranza, Huerta may hope to
swing the United States to recognition
of his government and again shutting
down the embargo on arms.
