Traffic Suspended

Mexico City, January 2-Owing to
the rapid increase of rebels about San
Luis Potosi and the seeming imminence
of an attack on that city. freight traf-
fic into the city from the south over
the only line open has been suspended
Telegraphic reports from San LUIS
Potosi today said the rebels from the
north and west were closing in on the

it, from the east and south.
Reports are current that federal
troops at Monterey and Saltillo have 1c-
volted, but there is no cohfirma ii OH
of this. Communication with both
cities is cut off.
Indications are that the rebels
threatening San Luis Potosi are those
led by men whose activities have been
confined to that part of Mexico and
who never have taken part in the on
eratiors in the north. Eulalia Cutter
rez and Francisco Coss appear to be
the dominant leaders. supported by the
Cediollo brothers. who for months

Potosi as high as 5000. The majority
are at Boca. 25 miles northl of San Luis

Washington, January $50 far as Of
ficials in the state department know, the
meeting today of President Wilson and
his personal representative in Mexico,
John Lind, was arranged merely for the
purpose of consultation and to afford Mr.

his views. 1t is assumed the American
envoy has acquired mucl of his informa-
tior during his six months stay in the
City of Mexico and Vera Cruz beyond
that which he has included in his written

Consequently officials here believe Mr..
Lind should be in a position to render a
well grounded opinion as to the probable
length of life of the Huerta government,
and the conditions that may be expected
to follow it's downfall.
The weight of opinion in Washington is
that todays conference VIII make the de-
velopment by the President of another
step in the policy he has laid down in re-
gard to the treatment Of the Mexican
question. 1t is admitted that just what
that may be, is a matter of conjecture,
