Vera Cruz, July 10.-Querida Mohe-
no. former Mexican minister of COM
merce and labor befCEe departing
today on board the Espagne v!rulently
criticised the policy of the United
States towards Mexico. AS he sat in
the forward saloon of the French lin
er, Senor Moheno looked through a
portfolio toward the American flag
flying at Vera Cruz and shook his fist
IL rage.
He insisted that he is in position
TO produce proofs that there is a
secret platform" of the progressive
party in the United States, OF which
Colonc! Theodore Roosevelt was cog
infant and In which he concurred,
looking to the disruption of Mexico
and the acquisition ultimately of all
the territory between the Rio Grande
and Panama.
He said that Francisco Escudero,
who as minister OF foreign relations
in Carranza's cabinet, has letters
which to him are conclusive evidence
OF his allegations, and declared he
hoped to be able to produce these let
tcrs at the proper time.
"And not only the leaders of the
progressive party are pledged to this
policy" he added, "but politicians of
both the republican and democratic
parties had promised their secret sup
port. That President Wilson himself
had subscribed to this iniquitous cor
respondence as evidenced by his at
titude toward Mexico. Not a single
American in all the hundred million
population OF the United States can
give. satisfect6 answer sns to- why
:those troops arer on shore in Vera
Cruz"
"To show President Wilson'S crime
against Mexico-the greatest in the
history Of modern nations" is the an
nounced object OF Senior Moheno's
trip to the United States by way of
Cuba. He arrived here this morning
On the Espagne from Puerto, Mexico.
and said he would not go ashore.
Moheno said he hoped, while in the
United States, to convince the Ameri-
can people of the enormity of the
crime committed not only by Presi-
dent Wilson but by all the political
factors In the United, States. regard
less Of party"
Senor Moheno did not have any ma
tesial hope that the overthrow Of HUI
erta by the constitutionalists would
be followed by peace.
Moheno frankly admitted belief
that armed Intervention In Mexico fin
ally would come. He promised to re-
veal on his arrival in New York the
exact method OF the killing OF the
LOT
dent Pine Suarez.
II will not say now that I am
confident that General Huerta had
nothing to do with the assassination
Of these men," he continued.
When asked II he was going ashore
while In Vera Cruz, Moheno replied: !:
Going ashore? No. not I. 1t is
not a pleasant spectacle for any pa
triotic Mexican. However, I am not
afraid to. It do not fear the Ameri-
cans. nor do fear my own people.
II left President Huerta's cabinet
because I was aksed to-" continued
Moheno. "Huerta did not give me a
reason. I am not running away be-
cause I fear the rebels when they get
there and their coming is Inevitable" "
Travelling on the same boat are

Mario Mas. relatives OF Huerta.
and their .sss-.t1es The only apparent
reason for the f1isai of the Mas
brothers was escape from the capital
before 1t falls, the inevitabiliiy oi
which they also admitted.
Brigadier General Funston sent an
officer aboard the Espagne before the
ship docked to ascertain the inten-
tions of Moheno and General Mas.
He feared to have them come ashore
because of the probability OF an un-
friendly reception by Mexicans. Both
were assured military protection,
Senior Moheno trembled visibly
while talking to the lieutenant and
he apparently was holding himself in
restraint. He assured the officer
that he had no desire to leave the
ship. General Mas was very surly.
He thanked the lieutenant for General
Funston's offer, but with noticeable
sarcasm assured him that none OF
his party would land under the
American flag. 3,S
