Interest at Washington in
Mexican Strife Centers

EXPECT ZAPATA TO
JOIN IN THE MOVE
Huerta, Still on Land, Has
Scornful Words for the
Bands of Rebels

Washington, D. c., July 90
Consul General Hanna at Monte
rey reported today that General
Carranza had definitely agreed
TO meet the three commissioners
being sent to the front by Pro-
visionaI President CarbaJaI to ar
range for the transfer Of govern.
ment at Mexico City.
Washington, D. c., July 20.-With
apparently taking shape for a peace
ful solution, administration officials
looked forward to the outcome Of the
meeting soon to take place at Mon
terey between Carranza and the three
commissioners from President Carba-
jail, Huerta's successor. 1t was be-
lieved they would reach Monterey to-
day or early tomorrow They were to
discuss with the constitutionalists
leader conditions for the transfer Of
! the Mexico City administration.
Washington officials were confident
that the parleys soon would result in
an agreement for the establishment
or new government.
Apprehension over reports that the
followers Of Zapata, the southern rebel
were dangerously near the capital,
was somewhat relieved by dispatches
from Mexico City declaring recent
Etatements of the activities OF the
zapatistas We're exaggerated.
ENJOYS from ,Carranza now are in
touch with the southern rebel. They
seek to turn his sympathy toward the
constitutionalist cause.
Another demonstration of the atti-
tude assumed by Carbajal in his role
Of provisional president, was seen in
the announcement of Lieut. Col. Izun-
"a a federal Commander above Vera
Cruz to the effect that the new ad-
ministration does not recognize the ex-
istence of revolution and considers
Ill Mexicans on an equal basis as
citizens.
Huerta scorns Rebels.
Puerto Mexico, Mex, July 2O.-Gen.
Huerta today shrugged his shoulders
that the force of const1tutionalists
here would dare to attack this city
uc VI IAC luSl-
tive former dictator however, did not
display the same degree of confidence
and an extended line of outposts were
maintained today which prevented the
constiutionalists from approaching
nearer.
General Huerta continued to pass
most Of his time in the railroad car In
which he arrived from Mexico City.
Since his arrival here he has not taken
an hours exercise.
Now that means of getting away
from Mexican territory have been ar
ranged there is marked change in
the bearing of all the fugitives. The
women and children among them slept
late today in an effort to kill the
dreary period Of waiting for the arrival
Of the little passenger vessel chartered
to carry them away. The ship was
expected to reach here late today but
1t was thought unlikely any of the
party would leave before tomorrow.

now pending in congress. In answer
to inquiries he said he believed them

Of a vacancy. Huerta having

president. He may not remain
such very long; he has little

At the time he found himself

whether or not he would sur

expectation that he would act
