Mexico City. July 16.-Gen. Victor.
iano Huerta resigned from the provi-
sional presidency Of the Mexican re-
public Wednesday night and his resig-
nation was accepted by the senate
and chamber Of deputies by vote Of
121 to II.
Francisco Carbajal, the minister Of
foreign affairs, was then appointed
president and took the oath OF Office
Mt the joint session of deputies and
senators.
Gen. Huerta and Gen. Banquet left
the capitol late Wednesday night.
They boarded train on the Mexican
Midland few miles beyond the city.
IT is thought they are going to Puerto
Mexico.
The scene in the chamber OF depu-
ties and the senate when Huerta's
resignation was received was solemn
and the enthusiasm with which the
act was greeted was tempered by
general sympathy for the abdicating
president.
Fear Of Looting.
The city is quiet, but everywhere
there is dread of rebellion and looting.
It Is realized that Huerta, In spite of
his faults, kept a strong hand on dis
orderly elements. and his successor, II
is said. is not of type to cope with
populace in revolt.
carbaJal May Yield to Rebels.
Further than the announcement of
Huerta's resignation. made after 4
o'clock, the government is silent. It Is
believed, however. that Carbajal will
turn the government over to the con-
stitutionalists. and thus insure peace.
1t is also limited that Huerta will take
the field at the head of the federal
army.

In Mexico City. "Carbajal is scien-
tiflco and his presidency will simply
mean the continuance in power OF the
men who for nifty years have grown
rich upon the misfortunes Of the poor
Of Mexico. We must make our victory
complete. My men are now getting
ready for the advance. Huerta's re-

Of Gen. Huerta's resignation a. pro.
visional president of Mexico was hall
Cd by ofncials here as the frst practi-
cal step toward quick solution of the
Mexican problem,
Huerta's resignation marks the cul-
mination of more than q years active
effort on the part of the United States
government to force his retirement.
John Lind was sent to Mexico last
summer in an effort to bring about the
withdrawal Of Huerta. Failing in this
the United States government adopted
q policy that has slowly diminished
Huerta's resources.
With Huerta's retirement, the con-
stitutionalists feel that their revolu-
ton has triumphed. They turned
against him the moment he overthrow
Madero. the constitutionalists presi-
dent of Mexico. in February, 1912. and
have waged their war with unrelent-
ing vigor ever since.
Victoriano Huerta took oath 40 pro-
visional president Of Mexico on Feb.
10, 1913. the day after Francisco /. Ma
dero had been arrested ut the national
palace. Three days later Madero and
Jose Maria Pine Saursx. vice presi.
dent, were shot to death on midnight
ride under guard from the palace to
the penitentiary. The manner Of their
death never has been satisfactorily
