Vera Cruz, July 3.-The departure OF
the French cruiser Condo for Puerto
Mexico, and the sailing Of the Ger
man cruiser Dresden, presumably for
the same. port, give rise to the sug-3
gestion here-that Huerta's family, and
perhaps he himself, would be afforded
refuge on one Of the warships. Con-
s~titutionalists declare their forces are
ready to cut the railroad line to the
coast If Huerta leaves the capital.
Rapid action by marines and blue
jackets from American. British.
French and German warships in the
harbor here was freely predicted on
Wednesday in case of the collapse Of
Huerta's power in Mexico City, which
seemed imminent. should come in such
a way as to endanger the lives Of for-
eign residents in the capital.
While no official of any Of the pow
ers would be quoted, it was persistent
ly reported that an agreement has
been reached that, when Huerta fees.
an international force will at once be
pushed over the railroad to guard
the persons and propertyfof those who
might be endangered by anarchy fol-
lowing the d%ictator's fall.

in Mexico, has advised his embassy
at Washington that a special train

When the mediators left Niagara
Falls on Wednesday night the final
page OF the conferences was written
according to officials here. The adj
journment is permanent, 1t Is believed.
1t is a matter of time, officials de-.
clared, before the bugbear OF inter-
vention will loom again.
Administration officials fear for the;
safety Of Americans and other foreign
ers in Mexico. The warning to- Brit
ish subjects by Sir Lionel Garden
urged them to leave Mexico at the ear
Hest possible moment was considered
significant, but the full peril Of the
situation was revealed when the state
department received a private dis:
patch from Senior de Oliveria, the Bra
lillian Minister advising the Amer
lean government to take the same
action with regard to Its citizens.
Before l resign, half the people Of
Mexico City will die with me-" Is the
remark President victoriano Huerta is
credited with having made to friends
while sitting in a Mexico City cafe at;
tea. Well.informed persons here see
in this an indication OF a generalaup-ll
rising at the capital.
Niagara Falls, Ont, July 3.--Gen-
eral Huerta is so incensed at the aban-i
donment5 of the A.-B.-C: mediation cons
ference that the Mexican delegates
would not be surprised if he resumed
hostilitiess against the United States.
In a sharp pointed message the die
tator asked the Mexican representa-
tives here whether the disruption Of
the conference meant the end OF the.
armistice between Mexico and the
United States? General Huerta want-
ed to know how long he must be bound
to keep, the peace after the mediators
leave Niagara Falls. sE
