10 the United States by way OF Cuba

IcspaGne from Puerto Mexico. and said
lie would not 20 ashore
Moheno said he hoped. while in the
United States. to convince the Amer
ican people of the enormity OF the

ident Wilson. bu: by all the political
factors ir the United States. regardless
OF party"
Mohcno added that he did not agree
with the opinion that the oil interests
were responsible for the revolutions
| in Mexico. He ascribed them TO the
government as directed by its poll
ticlans.
Senior Moheno did not have any ma
teriai hope that the overthrow of GEN
y
would be followed by peace. Moheno
frankly admitted belief that armed in.
terveEtion in Mexico finally would
come. He promised to reveal on his
arrival in New York. the exact method

while in Vera Cruz. Moleno replied:
Going ashore? No. not /. II is not
a pleasant spectacle for any patriotic
Mexican. However. am not afraid
To. do not fear the Americans, nor
do ! fear my own people.
II left President Ilucrta's Cabinet
because was asked to- continued
Mohcno. ''fIuerta did not give me a
reason. am not running away be
cause ! fear the rebels when they get
there, and their coming Is inevitable"
Travelling on the same boat are
General Joaquin Maas and Colonel
their families. The only apparent rca-
son for the flight of the Mas broth
ers was escape from the capital be-
fore it falls. the inevitability of which
they also admitted.
Hrigadier-G General Funston sent an
officer aboard the EspaEne before tho
ship dockcd to ascertain the intcn-
tions of Moheno and General Mass lie
feared to have them come ashore be
cause of the proba bility of an un-
friendly reception by Mexicans. Both
were assured military protection.
Senior Mcheno trembled visibly while
talking to the lieutenant. and he APP
parently was holding himself in re
straint. He assured the officer he had
no desire to leave the ship. General
Maas was very surly. lie thanked the
lieutenant for General Funston's Of
fer. but with noticeable sarcasm as
sured him that none of his party would
land under the American flag.
