MEXICO CITY, Jan. I9.--The Cabinet
met to-day and at IA late hour was still
in session. The report persists that Gen.
Huerta will resign and take the field
against the rebels and that Senior Gam
boa will take his place as provisional
President. II Is believed here that mas
much az President Huerta's position Is
growing desperate this would be q very
wise move. BY placing himself at the
head Of $4,000 picked troops and the most
loyal officers Huerta might take the field
and keep IL, refusing to recognize any

that Huerta had already resigned, but
this could not be confirmed.

Of accusations. .
To every point that the police bring
up Thomson has an answer. Perhaps
it is not quite as plausible an expla-
nation as it might be, but at the same
time it's possible. Thomson explains
the scratches on his neck by saying
they were either inflicted while play
ing with dog or while scuffling with
two girl friends.
He explains the loss of his second
blue suit by saying that he sold it to
a stranger for IS. If he can produce
the stranger or if the man will ap-
pear of his own accord it would ma
terially strengthen the defense of
Thomson.
He says he made the rounds of the
department stores on a shopping tour,
but no one who knew him can vouch
for it. The inquest was continued
until Tuesday. Thomson is still held.
