have congress adjourn by July /.
"The president was very desirous of
pressing the presidential primary bill"

and we expect to drive it thru both

thought the program could be put thru
both houses as early as July !.
"Yes," he replied. TT can II we
all get together and play ball. which
We will do"
The house leader said that the Mexi-
can situation might. of course, at any
time, absorb the attention Of congress
and interfere with the program but
he did not see any prospect Of such
q development yet.

Garrison discussed the situation at
Vera Cruz with department heads. The
secretary said no late reports had been
received from General Funston and no
more troops had been ordered to rein
force the Americans now at the base of
this governments Mexican operations.
1t was reported, however, plans were in
readiness for immediate action should
there arise any hostile move on the part
of the Huerta forces in the vicinity of
Vera Cruz.
Huerta's Strength Waning.
Rejecting some credence to state
ments made by Mexico City refugees
that General Huerta was in desperate
straits and some of his own supporters
were considering making a demand that
he resign, to be succeeded by Minister
OF War Banquet, messages have been
received here in diplomatic circles to
the effect that Huerta's strength was
rapidly waning.
Operations, it was learned here, in
the oil fields at Tampico are to be re-
sumed just as soon as the employees can
be gathered from the places where they
fled when the military operations at
Tampico threatened the destruction of
the oil properties. Sir Cecil Spring
Rice. the British ambassador, received
notice from Sir Lionel Garden, the
British minister in Mexico City, that
General Huerta had consented to the
return of the oil workers to the fields
and had undertaken to give them pro-
lection as far as possible.
Mexicans Renew Demands.
Another fruitless demand by Mexican
soldiers for the surrender of the water
works just outside of Vera Cruz was
reported to the war department today
by General Funston. The report said
Mexican officers called on an American
outpost to surrender but made no Wig
orous effort to enforce their demand.
The Mexicans retired and no shots were
fired. General Funston has asked for
instructions as to contemplated steps.
