HUERTALEAVE CITY
AFTER GAY EVENING

"This will be my last toast in my
faNofltc resort, and / drink to the new
president of Mexico
AS President Carbajal emerged
from tho chamber of deputies an i'm
mense crowd blocked the streets, maxi
ing it difficult for the presidential
carriage to pass The troops were
obliged to clear the way. The dense
crowd issuing from the chamber mo-
mentarily halted, hundreds turning
back into the building.
A panic VAS narrowly averted, the
trouble being caused by some man in
the street raising a cry against the
deputies Who had refused TO vote for
the acceptance of Huertas resigna- :
ton. The manifestants showed an
ugly disposition and attempted to at
tack the deputies, but the troops
lcvelled their guns and dispersed them.
In view of the possible disturbance
in the change of government, placards
are being posted on the walls along
the main streets signed by Eduardo
Iturbide, governor of the federal dis
trict, calling upon the people not to
hold demonstrations, to preserve the
peace and to act as becomes a cultured
nation, Tho proclamation says that
the government will suppress disor-
ders at any cost.

VILLA is MUCH DISAPPOINTED
HE WANTED TO GET HUERTA

Juarcz, July 15.-I would much pre-
fer that Hrerta had remained in the
chair or jill Mexico City until we could
get Our hands on him." General Villa
said today in Juarez when he learned
of Iuerta's reported resignation.
THAT is the only comment / care
to make on the subject he added. Il
am a soldier of my country, and / do
not care to express my opinion of the
traitors resignation
A military band played martial airs
outside Villas headquarters as the
news of HGerta's resignation was
spread about. Villa will remain on
the border two or three days, it was
said today, at his headuarters here.
An informal request has been made
that he visit Ell Paso on the American
side of the line, but while neither
ffBiy nor civil officials have any OBJ
lection, the matter was dropped.
The sudden, but not unexpected
turn of affairs at the national capital
led to speculation regarding what
troops of the constitItionalist army
would be the first to enter Mexico
City. The forces under Generals Agui-
lar and Obregon are the nearest the

The streets of the capital were
crowded until Il late hour tonight, but
no disturbance has been reported The
governor of the federal district Issued
orders TO the police 10 check every
demonstration vigorously. The streets
are patrolled by mounted police, who
have orders TO use drastic measures If
necessary.
Rumors that bands OF Iapata fol-

to be unfounded.

An immense crowd followed the ex-

for him. Many shook him by the
hand, while others embraced and sew

After the acceptance of Iuerta S
resignation a commission was appoint
ed by the president of the chamber to
the house. Very soon Senior Garbajal
appeared in front of the chamber,
passing through files of soldiers. He
entered and, as he walked to the plat
form, the deputies stood. Speaker
Manuel Mercado then administered the
oath.
The new executive again passed
through double files of troops as he
proceeded to the national palace.
Two deputies spoke vigorously
against the acceptance of Huerta' S
resignation, one of them calling it
weak submission to the United
States"
Two other deputies spoke in favor
CT acceptance, declaring that it was
the only way to save the country from
fratricidal strife.

At Vera Cruz.

Vera Cruz, July 15.-The Mexicans
of Vera cruz received the news of
HHertas resignation without mani
festation of excitement tonight. The
American officers think 1t possible
the next day or two may see many
Mexican officers seeking safety with
in the American lines. They believe
it is even possible that virtually the
whole federal force near Vera Cruz
may offer 10 surrender to the Ameri-
cans rather than to join the consti-
tutionalist cause ut this late hour.
When news of Hucrta's resignation
WAS received the German cruiser
Dresden and the British cruiser Brs-
tol departed hastily, presumably for
Puerto Mexico.
II is reported that Rear Admiral
Badger is preparing to send another
ship or two to watch proceedings.

Retiring President Tells His
Congress That He Would
Have Won If 1t had Not
Been for "the Outrage at
Vera Cruz

Mexico City, July 15.--Thc text of
General Huerta's resignation follows:
Deputies and senator's: Public
necessity, admitted by the chamber of
deputies, by the senate and by the
supreme court, called me to the su-
preme magistracy of the republic.
Later when in this same hall | had the
honor of addressing you in compliance
with the constitutional precept, l
promised at all costs to bring about
peace.
Seventeen months have passed and
III that brief period of time | have
formed an army with which to carry
out that solemn PROMISE You all
know the immense difficulties which
my government has encountered, ow-
ing to the scarcity of funds, as we'll
as to the manifest and decided pro-
tect1on which a great power of this
continent has afforded to the rebels
so much SO that when the revolution
had broken UP, seeing that its chief
leaders were and continued to be di-
Nlded, the power in question sought a
preteXt to intervene directly in the
conflict and the result of this was
the outrage committed at Vera Cruz
by the American fleet.
Success Was had. as you know, in
adjusting honorably through our dele
gates at Niagara Falls, the petty
Tampico incident, but the revolution
continued with the support of whom
you all know.
Yet, after the highly patriotic work
achieved by our delegates at Niagara
Falls, there are still some who say
that /. come what may, seek my per-
sonal interest and not that of the re-
public. And as / need to refute this
allegation with facts, | tender my
formal resignation of the presidency
of the republic.
"The national congress must know
that the republic, through its govern
ment, has labored in entire good faith
and with the fullest energy, having
succeeded in doing away with the
party which III the United States calls
itself democratic, and having shown
how the right should be defended.
ITO be more explicit I will say that
the action of the government of the
republic during its short life has dealt
death blows to an unjust power. Later
OH, strong workers VIII come, USING
implements that undoubtedly will end
that power, Which has done so much
harm and committed SO many out
RACES on this continent.
"In conclusion / will say that
abandon the presidency of the repub-
lie, carrying with me the highest sum
of human wealth, for ] declare that
have arraigned at the bar of univer-
sal conscience the honor of a puritan
whom l, as a gentleman, challenge tC
Wrest from me that possession.
MY God bless you and me-
The galleries of the chamber of dep
uties were packed before the beginning
of the session this afternoon. Intense
excitement characterized the gather
ing and at the close of the reading o.
Hnerta's resignation the deputies ant
spectators broke into loud and con.
tinued applause.

Washington, july Il. News of Cen
eral lluerta's resignation as pro-
visionai president OF Mexico was hailed
by official Washington tonight as the
flrSt practical step toward a ullicll so
ln,ioh ol tn" Mexican problem. Con-
Stfull0naliStS, diplomats and officials
OF the United States government did
not conceal their satisfaction over the
tact that General liuerta at last had
voluntarily eliminated himself from
the situation and pointed the way to
an era of peace III his country.
Although the eomstltutionalsts have
declared they would not recognize
Francisco carbaial AS provisional
president amy more than they did his
predecessors and the United States
government likewise will refuse 10
recognize him. tho understanding here
IS tfat the new executive will hold Of

aNersc To holding conferences which
might recognize the legality Of Car
hajaIs position as provisional presi-
dent, hopes were raised today among
South American diplomats that never
thclcss negotiations might ee begun
between representatives OF t'Qrranza
and tarbaial for the speed, transfer
of power to the constittttionaItsts.
1t Is practically certain that Emilio
RAhasa. AuguStin Rodriguez and Luis
Elgucro, who represented !}uerta at
the Niagara Ealls mediation. will be
! designated by Carbaial 70 look after
his interests in This country. That
the mcdiators now win make another
effort to bring the two factions into
conferences is considered very likely.
General carranza, In the opinion of
The mediators, Would profit greatty by
entering into such conferences. By SO
doing he might guarantee himself i'm
mediate recognition by the United
States, Argentina Brazil and Chile.
Under the terms of the protocols
signed at Niagara rallS, the United

eonStltutionalists here To persuade
earranza to enter conferences with
Garbajal. Garranza's objections hith-
erto hnNe been that he could not
agree to any compromise but must in
siSt upon the plan Of Guadalupe.
IL Is believed in some quarters hero
