He was denounced as the cause OF
the landing of American naval forces
at Vera Cruz and also as the author of
false and infIammatory statements
published in the capital.

IN a few days, according to American
refugees who arrived on a special
train from the capital.
FREDERICK Gamboa, former minister
CT foreign affairs, once governor Of
vucatan and candidate of the Catholic
party at Huerta's election, is named
- the man to supplant him.
According to the refugees anti
IIuerta sentiment has so crystalliZed
al the capital that on Saturday the
consDiratOTs made an attempt to GUST
the dictator but failed. They did Got
so into details and admit that they
nave only a rumor of it. They are GER
tain, however, that Huerta is becoming
more and more unpopular because the
the better class of Mexicans are find
ing out that the administration has
deliberately deceived them with re
gard to the action of the United
States. The truth about Vera Cruz
has reached the capital and has aid
ed In bringing about a revulsiOn OF
tie patriotic frenzy. They know that
the Americans did not butcher MeXi-
can men, women and children when
they occupied the town; they know
that Spain is not at war with the
United States. The change is so great,
Ii is believed by a great many Mexi-
cans at the capital that the Ameri-
cans are not at Vera Cruz at all.
Diaz Followers Active
AS nearly as can be ascertained
the anti-Huerta plots center about the
strong faction which in the last week
of January endeavored to GUST the die
tator. The leaders then were old fol
lowers of POrfirio Diaz, now followers
of Felix DiaZ and So-called CientificCCe
CT the Limantour group. The plot
was revealed by a traitor and abOu,
od+
er arrested or deported. Gamboa him
self was taken at that time .althou: i
the question whether he was concern.
ed in the plot was never settled. He
is regarded as a cool-headed, progress,
sive Mexican, but it is admitted that
he will have some difficulty in receiv.
il g the approval of the constitutional,
isis. His name was mentioned &C
them six months ago by those endeav-
CTing to bring about peace and it was
rejected.
Conditions at the capital are improv.
ing because of the change in senti-
ment say the refugees. There are
still anti-American demonstrations
but they go no farther than the satir.
ical stage. One of them was on Sun
day just before the British train de.
parted. A donkey was led through
the street to the laughter and jeers .
a mob. He had picture of President
Wilson swung from his neck and an
American flag tied to his tail.
Twenty-one Americans arrived on
the train in the afternoon and they
came as British subjects, bearing B!t
