PUERTO MEXICO, July 1S.-Unwilling-
ness to leave behind any friends who
want to accompany him into exile, and
failure to select a vessel to carry them
beyond the reach of the constitutionalists
have resulted in the postponement by
President Huerta of his departure
Ex-President Huerta and his party may
be delayed for several days in their de-
parture from Mexico. A message received
late tonight from President CarbaJal re-
fused the use Of the Mexican gunboats
for that purpose
The message explained that it was not
deemed wise at this time that the Mexi-
can warships should be used for such a
purpose. 1t stated that the government
would pay for the use of any veesseI that
huerta might charter
With contemptuous disregard for his
enemies in the interior, VINO would shove
him of Mexican soil IL they were able.
Gen. Huerta shrugged his shoulders and
laughed at the difficulties which will force
him to remain in the country another
twenty-four hours. But most of the
members OF the party showed much dis
appointment because they could not get
out before tomorrow.
especially did the young women display
dissatisfaction. For most of them the
trip abroad means the pleasures Of Eu-
ropean cities. and they desire to hurry
affairs
Huerta Visits German Cruiser.
Huerta spent a dull day The greatest
break in its monotony was a call, late
In the afternoon, on the captain of the
German cruiser Dresden
small crowd gathered to watch him
alight from the train and go aboard the
cruiser lying a short distance out. But
when the stubby old man in plain Clothes
accompanied by Gen. Blanquet In full
uniform and three members of his sta.
walked to the landing where the Dres-
den launch was waiting. there was no
evidence of emotion other than curiosity
Some one lifted up his voicesin a thin
Viva The answering call was thinner
still. The spectators were the idle ele-
ment and they were there to see. and
Huerta went over the side with the
requisite number of sailors at the rail.
There was no salute. Anything re-
sembling formality in connection with
his visits was lacking.
Huerta Supporters Arrive.
Gen. Hernandez. who has been COVER
nor of Puebla, arrived here late today
on a special train. Gen. Ramon Corona
an active supporter of Huerta. and sew
eral officers are expected to reach here
before the ex-president departs.
1t has virtually been decided that
Huerta and Banquet will go to Jamaica
on the Dresden. 1t is equally certain that
the British cruiser Bristol will carry no
passengers.
The Mexican gunboats. Bravo and
Zaragoza, have received orders to coal
and prepare for sea. This Was supposed
to mean that the new government would
place no obstacle in the way OF their use,
should it be determined to employ them
for the transportation of the remainder
of the party. President CarbaJal's mes
sage prevents this use of the gunboats.
II is suggested here that the fact that
the Bristol received the refugees aboard
and, later landed them, may have been
due to some diplomatic development OF
which all profess ignorance. The only
thing apparently known aboard the
Bristol is that there are no sailing
orders.
Huerta's Hopes for Mexico.
Gen Huerta chatted freely with Capt.
Kohler regarding Mexico. He said the
time would come. he hoped. when
Mexico would hold its place among the
other nations. and be entitled to the re-
spect of ALL
1t Is cltluZdtlOu my couudS HceoS,
he said That is matter of school.
We are getting them, and We must have
more Civilization and education are
largely the same thing. and Mexico is
woefully lacking in education.
Can't Fanshaw Of the Bristol paid his
respects to the ex-President in the morn
ing So did also the commander OF the
Dresden.
Until late in the afternoon Gen Huerla
had not called upon or seen his wife or
the other woman members OF his fam
iIy. Nor had Gen. Blanquet seen Sonora
Blanauet, notwithstanding the fact that
only the customs warehouse separated
the two special trains.
Sonora Huerta and the other women
who had been on the Bristol were trans
ferred to the Mexican gunboat Zaragaza
AT noon. They then came ashore and had
lunch in one of the coaches OF their
train In the evening they visited the
Dresden this being the chief break In
the monotony for them also.
Women Have Hard Time.
Housed in heated railway coaches and
forced to listen to the continuous grind
