HUERTA PLANS TO MAKE LAST
STAND AGAINST THE REBELSAT
PUEBLO SAYS O'SHAUGHNESSY
Former American Charge at Mexico City Declares
Dictator Realizes He Will Be Deposed But He
Will Not Resign--Ships Gold to Europe

Washington, May 13.-That Huerta
is preparing for crisis in his dictator
ship, and has long been planning TO
leave Mexico City with his troops and
make last stand at Puebla, midway
between the capital and Vera Cruz,
was understood today to have been
told President Wilson last night by
Nelson 'Shaughnessy.
o'Shaughnessy is said to have in
formed Wilson that Huerta has picked
Puebla for a last refuge in case the
rebels get too close to Mexico City,
that the fortifying and provisioning Of
Puebla is under way. that Huerta has
no intention of resigning. but that he
realizes his regime cannot stand long
and eventually he will be deposed and
that he desires to acquire as much
glory as possible before the inevitable.
oShaughnessy is said to have further
tod the president that Huerta has at
his command only four to six thousand
men and that neither Zapata nor Villa
would have any great difficulty in taxi
ing the city.
His information is along the line ot
other reports reaching the government
in the last few weeks. Further infor-
nation from these sources is that
Huerta has been shipping gold abroad
in contemplation Of his exile.
Admiral Badger has officially report
ed that the German vessel. Kronprin.
zessin Cecilie landed no arms consign-
ed to Huerta at any Mexican port. The
vessel unloaded six hundred and fifty
tons of general cargo at Vera Cruz and
then departed for Havana with arms
and ammunition.

PRESIDENT RIGHT IN STAND
Senator Declares Wilson Was
Justified in Refusing to Recog-
nize the Dictator Presents Da.
ia to Support His Assertions.

Washington, May 13.-Asserting that
President Wilson was more than jus
titled in refusing to recognize Nictori-
ano Huerta as president of Mexico and
that the United States must not turn
back until il has established consti .
tutional government in that Republic,
Senaor owen today startled the sem
ate with a remarkable denunciation Of
the Mexican Dictator His speech was
an intimate history of Huerta from
the time he tore the reins OF power
from the hands of Madero to the pres
ent day. Through IL ran the color of
blood and its story reeked with mur-
der. intrigue and violence where inno-
silence behind prison walls and Huer-
ia, by the force of arms and the inn
pelling power of fear. imposed his will
upon 100000 people.
To back up his assertions the sena-
tor produced confidential documents
from other sources. He rejoiced. he
said that mediation had been offered.
But" he declared let no mistake
be made. We must demand order,
constitutional self government, and
that the right of sovereignty be placed
in the hands of the people OF Mexico,
under safeguards that will promise
liberty, human rights and stability Il
government TO the people OF Mexico
and assure our own future peace and
security and If necessary. we must

RUSSIA AND THE
DUAL EMPIRE
CUT RELATIONS
Bad Feeling Exists But Danger of
War is Remote

Vienna, May 13.-One of the shrewd-
est members of the diplomatic corps
in Vienna, when asked recently about
the relations between Austria Hungary
and Russia, bluntly answered that
there were none. For the past two
years there practically has been no
Russian ambassador at the court OF
Vienna. Nominally of course there
has been an ambassador. but he has
always found some preteXt for being
absent from his post, leaving the Off
cial duties to a councillor of embassy
who has carefully abstained from do
ing anything. Similarly, Austria
Hungary's diplomatic representation at
st. Petersburg has been almost equal
ly perfunctory. Count Szapary was
appointed ambassador to Russia last
October but up to the present has
spent only three weeks at his post, his
absence being vaguely ascribed %
family reasons.
For some time past there has been
considerable tension i'm the relations
between the two empires. the precice
reasons for which are difficult to eX
plain. The whole situation is full Of

New Hamburg-American Ship Is
Largest Craft In World

Hamburg May 1S.--The greatest in
terest Is being taken here in the de-
parture tomorrow of the steamship
Vaterland on her maiden voyage to
New York. The Vaterland has the
distinction Of being the largest craft
i'm the world. She belongs to the Ham
burg American Line and a number of
the high officials OF that company are
going on her initial trip. In addition.
the big ship will carry a thousand or
more first and second-c passengers,
among those on the booking lists being
many Americans and Europeans OF
prominence.
Appointments Are Luxurious.
While closely resembling her famous
sister ship, the Imperator, the Water
land exceeds her in all Dimensions.
The new queen of the seas measures
length. She is 100 feet in width and
has "A tonnage of $4,000
Not only does the Natcrland eclipse
all previous records for size, but she
represents the very latest idea of ar
tistic elegance and mechanical won-
ders. Some Of the leading decorators
of Europe were engaged To design and
furnish her magnificent salons, dining
rooms, grand hail and suites. The
main salon is the largest hall of is
kind ever constructed ON shipboard
The woodwork is OF solid mahogany
There is an open fireplace, and natural
light floods the hall through number
of drawing room windows. The hang
ings consist of almost priceless tapes
tries, and Oriental rugs of the finest
weaves cover the floors.
The main dining g-room resembles the
banquet hall of a great hotel. 1t will
accommodate 500 diners at one time.
The great size and steadiness of the
vessel have made it possible TO furnish
the dining-room with movable chairs,
in place of the swivel seats attached to
the floors. common to ocean steam
ships. In addition to the main dining
room the big ship has a Ritz Carlton
restaurant, a grill room and a palm
garden.
Looks Like Sumptious Hotel.
Everything on the Vaterland has
been designed to look as much like a
sumptious hotel and as little like a ship
as human ingenuity can do il. The
windows are shaped and curtained
like a private house. Elevators take
the passengers from one deck to an
other. For the millionaires the state
rooms are as beautiful as the skill Of
the first decorators of the world can
make them. In the regal suites, as
they are called there are two bath
rooms, two bedrooms, dining room
and reception room. The bedsteads
are of bvass, without a suggestion Of

tion has been paid to the arrangement
