at Vera Cruz.

The City Of Mexico, June 30.--In
view Of the existing condition in Mex
leo, Sir Lionel Garden, the British
minister, has advised all British sub
jects temporarily to leave the country.
He said that the shortage of fuel used
in the operation of trains was grow
ing more acute daily and that the
trains probably soon would stop rum
ming, which would make difficult the
departure OF persons in the interior.
Sir Lionel Garden said he believed
1t to be his duty to urge all British
subjects to leave the capital immedi-
.ately and he especially advised that
the women be removed. The minis
ter declared he had no desire to
brighten the members Of the British
colony. He said he had not ordered
them to go, such a course only being
advised.
English Arranging to Flee.
Eight hundred British subjects are
registered at the legation as now re-
siding in Mexico City. 1t is the min
listers plan to get sufficient number
of these to sign an agreement to leave
the capital SO that they can obtain a
special train from the Mexican govern
ment to take them to Puerto Mex
leo and also secure a transport to con-
vey the passengers to Jamaica, where
they can remain until the close of the
present Mexican trouble.
Britishers lacking funds to enable
them to get out of the country will
be furnished with money by the le-
cation as a loan, notes being taken
for the amount.
Huerta Losing Grip.
Vera Cruz, Mex, June 3O.-The fear
that the spread of disaffection among
the Mexican federal troops might re-
suit in an uprising in Mexico City
caused the British residents there to
hold meeting to arrange final plans
for the defense of the concentration
district.
British refugees who arrived here,
and who had attended the meeting.
said the general opinion expressed
there was that Provisional President
Huerta's hold on the situation in the
capital was wavering and many pre-
dicted an uprising or revolt of the
federal army within a week or ten
days.
Big Interests in Mexican War.
Washington, June 29-"Big bust
ness is to be placed once more on the
grill by the United States senate for
the purpose of establishing exactly the
part 1t has played in initiating and
supporting revolutions in Mexico. The
sensational correspondence between
New York inanciers and their Wash
ington agents and General Carranza
and other constitutionalists, confirms
in great detail the exposure of some
days ago.
Under the circumstances Senate
leaders feel there is but one thing to
do, that is to set at work new sub
committee of the senate foreign rela-
lions committee, of which Senator
William Alden Smith is chairman, and
to give it full powers to probe to the
very bottom of one of the greatest.
international scandals of the age.
Nothing that has occurred recently
has aroused such intense interest as
the publication of the private cores
pondence between the, Washington
junta of the constitutionalists, the
moving figure in which is Sherburne
G. Hopkins, Washington attorney;
H. Clay Pierce, the oil man; Charles
r. Flint, who has large financial re-
lations with South and Central Amer
lea; General Carranza as supreme
chief" Of the revolution, and other
copstitutionalists.
On the one hand, the Standard Oil
interests are backing Huerta and are
In control of the situation SO far. as
the Mexican railroads and oil inter-
ests are concerned. On the other,
the Pierce-Flint interests are support
Ing Carranza. In the opinion of
everyone here until the differences
between the great interests are COM
posed the war in Mexico will continue.
