Washington. May 20.-Despite the
many unofficial reports that Huerta Is
willing to resign. on certain conditions,
this government has received nothing
to substaniate them, and, in fact, re-
CARDS them with suspicion and as indi-
eating that the Mexican dictator is try
ing to throw dust in the administra-
tons eyes.
1t is positively known that neither
this government, the Abe. media
tors nor the Huerta representatives to
the peace parley at Niagara Falls
have received anything from Huerta
indicating his intention Of submitting
any propositions which include his res
ignation.
1t is definitely known also that the
administration believes Huerta will
not resign, at least under circum-
stances which will be accepted by the
United States.

once Huertas most trusted counselor
in the cabinet. and who as minister
of the interior is popularity believed to
have been the author Of many orders
for the disappearance OF the chiefs
political enemies. arrived here on Mon
day among the refugees from the cap
ital He had fed from the wrath OF
Huerta.
Doctor Urrutia said he had not been
subjected to any overt act Of hostility
by Huerta. but had decided that to re-
main within reach OF the provisional
president was to court death. He had
been convinced of this BY the testi-
mony of friends and by what he him
self had seen. He declared he pre-
ferred to enter the American lines
and trust to the hospitality Of the
American authorities in Vera Cruz. He
was accompanied by his family and
said he expected to remain here indef-
initely.
The former minister of the interior
declared he had stolen away from the
capital in the same way as any other
fugitive. He had succeeded in elud- |
ing General Huerta's agents and ar
rived within the American lines with
out his identity being disclosed so far |
as he knew.

The consul protested. whereupon
