They returned here in time to meet General Candida to Aguilar, commander of the con- stitutionalist army, which recently at tackled Tanpico. z
 General Aguilare travelled incognito through the United States and arrived in Cruz de Piedra from Noga1es, com ing here at once by special train. The object of his trip is to confer with General Carranza, Secretary of War
 Angles and other military leaders now here and decide on g uniforms pro- gram for. the campaign on the east coast, in conjunction with that in the central region. It is believed he will be sent to aid in the capture of Monterey, Saltil1o and Tampico.
 | A general southward movement all along the line. is expected as re+ suit of, this conference. General Carr ranza's party will be s-7a yed in leav- ing here, owing to difficulty with the motive power of the railroad.
 The engine that hauled the train of 32 cars from Cruz de Piedra was a coal burner. but the supply of that fuel is exhausted and the engine will have to be converted into wood burner. Even when this is done the train will not be able to make more than 10 miles an hour.

ELLIOT PLANS FOR
 FULL DISSOLU UTlON

New York. Jan. 15.-At a meeting of the board of directors of the New York, New Haven 6 Hartford Rail- road here today 1t was expected that Chairman Elliott would submit for immediate consideration definite de- tails for the disintegratfon of the New Haven system, pursuant to an agree nent reached with Attorney General McReynolds last week.
 Ever since that time, MT. Elliott and the heads of the New Haven's nu- n1erous subsidiaries have been at work formulating plans for presentation to the board. The work involved a mass of details, tnasmuch as rne agreement with the government calls for a com plete severance Of all the leased rail- roads of the system as well as the trolley and most of the steamship lines which are the outright possess sions of the road.
 It is understood that the New Ha- ven will be given ample time for the disposal Of these subsidiaries, as any thing like forced sale would entail heavy losses. NA As matters stand, New Haven officials realize the process of disme emberment under the most fa- vorable auspices must result in marked depreciation from market prices.

 Mexico City, Jan. 15-Huerta's de- fault of interest on Mexican foreign and domestic debts is a shrew11y en- gineered scheme of European bond holders to force American interven- ton, according to representative d- nancial interests here.
 Foreign governments, where there are heavy investments in Mexican bonds, notably Germany and France, are expected to bring pressure upon the United States to set up financial safeguards for their investors Not only will the American gov- ernment be expected to act immedi- ately as temporary trustee, but the United States may have to take charge of customs collections at Mex ican ports. This will be intervention. Merchants, bankers and men of af- fairs were 9 unit today in saying that Huerta's act would put Mexico, in the same class with Santo Domin-
 go and compel the United States to collect customs for European bond holders.

 was taken by Benito Juarez in 1s61 He
