HUERTA COLD TO
"GOOD OFFICES"
Remarks That Relations with
South American Republics
Are mot Close"
Ia cabIe % u TrIhunc. !

Mexico City. March s.--AnswcrinG TO-
day the query in an American paper
whether .hc Mexican government would
accept the good Offices of Argentina.
Brazil and Chill with view 10 improving
the relations between Mexico and the
United States. General Huerta replied,
through the Foreign Office, that the re-
lations Of Mexico with the three South
American republics named were not very
close just now.
This alusion. It is believed was 10 the
fact that none Of the three countries so
far has recognized the present admin
stration in Mexico
Government advices say that the rebel
attack on MaZatlan was repulscd AZ II

10 have advanced TO tho cemetery OF the

promotion Of General Gullermo Rubio
Navarrete to the rank of general OF divi-
sion. which. until to-days decree. was

Navarrete is young. and many army men
consider that the result OF his operations
in the north does not warrant promotion.
lie has been charged with the organiza-
ton of the new brigade called "Supremes
Poderes." whose chief duty will be to &C
company the President wherever he goes.
This. again, has given rise 10 the rumor
that Huerta may go to the front at no
distant day.
The chief topic Of interest to-day in the
capital Is the eXOrbitant exchange rates.
The exchange value Of the Mexican pesos
is now less than SO cents in gold. In
banking circles it is said that this is due
rather to scarcity OF supply than to large
ness Of demand as Mexican banks and
bankers have practically no available
funds abroad against which TO draw.
Branches OF Canadian banks operating
here are perhaps an exception. to some
extent. but they are not anxious 10 sell
exchange. as they do not want TO load up
with deprecated Mexican currency for
which they can find no use. The worst is
that no relief is in sight and pessimstic
persons say they see no reason why ex-
change should not reach five to one.
