ure explained today when 1t was
learned from refugees that rebel sup
porters in Mexico City had taken steps

der to show disapproval of Huerta's
attitude and to indicate their own
friendliness toward Americans.
Weakening of Huerta Power
The parade took place Saturday,
and the fact that it was permitted by
President Huerta was construed as
an indication of the weakening of his
power.
The rebels are said to have been
gaining ground in the territory close
to Mexico City. Four hundred Federal
wounded were brought into the capital
Friday from nearby points. Where the
battle was fought the refugees did
not know.
A train which reached here this
morning brought many British, Ger
man and French residents, but only
five Americans. None of them came
direct from Mexico City. Some of them
had been prisoners of the Federals at
Cordoba, others at Soledad, the head
quarters of General Mas. The ref

at the urgent demands of Consul Cam
