the constitutionalists are pledged and

minister to Mexico, who is caring for
the interests of the United States in
that country telegraphed the state de-
part yesterday that the resignation of
General Huerta in favor of Francisco
Carbajal, the newly appointed minis

government While the Washington
government will not recognize Carba-

American government was not disin-
cllned to treat informally with the new
administration until a transfer of power
to the constitutionalists could be ef-
fected.
