sen - Train Leaving Yesterday Ac-
companied by Soldiers.

WASHINGTON, July l.. - With
Gen. IIuerta 5 family and several close
friends in flight from Mexico CITY the
resignation OF the dictator was expect
ed TO take place any time today bv the
state department and members of the
diplomatic corps in Washington.
Dispatches from Mexico City were to
the effect that Cen Huerta and his
minister of war, Gen. Banquet, might
follow their families from the capital
to Vera Cruz today.
In some quarters the view was ex-
pressed that Gen. Huerta might hold
on longer, and that the departure of
his relatives only meant that he was
preparing to take q final desperate
stand against the ccustitutionalists,
commanding the Mexican federal
troops in person.
The train carrying the families of
Gems Huerta and Banquet was COM
posed of three sleepers and a baggage
car.
Running ahead of it were two mill
tary trains carrying 500 men. Following
came another military train with 500
troops aboard.
The party boarded the train at Vii
Ia de Guadalupe, railroad station
about five miles from Mexico CITY.
Only few persons were aware OF
their departure.
