nIze General Huerta. . q There are a good many other nations which, i'm other circumSfances might have tackled the hornets nest but this case in Mexico is one which the Monroe doctrine saddles on the United States with heavy obligations from which there is no escape
 The Pail Mall Gazette, an opposition newspaper, says:
 ssDur sympathy with the Americans does not blind us to the perils of the course to which they seem about to commit theDnseIves.',
 GIGAN1IC TASK AHEAD.
 The Globe says: Upon the United States will be laid the extremely diff ficuIt duty of protecting both its own nation and foreigners exposed to Mex ican bsarharity. in all probability re- suIting in a formal reorganization of the whole country.
 t.Undoubtedly General Huerta's ac- ton is council Of desperation adopt leo will unite with hin to repeI the gringo attack. Many observers are of the opinion that this may prove correct In that case. the United States has before 1t a gigantic task. z
 The Evening Standard, which also thinks that Huerta hopes to produce a wave of popularity for himself, is of the opinion that he is mistaken. It says.
 General Villa is not likely to let dust be thrown into his eyes by such nnaneuver. He is winning and knows it and he has no intention of reIin- quishing the prize when it is almost within his grasp.
 EUROPEAN MONEY INVOLVED.
 Continuing, the Evening Standard said intervention should be hailed with satisfaction by Europeans. Reca1linE the murder of William S Benton, the British ranchman at Juarez and the damage done to British property 1t relates that Great Britain has alto gether $500, GOO. 900 invested in Mexico and cannot afford to lose that sum. II believes the outcome will be that Mex leo will be pbliced by 8 strong nation al army under American supervision.

united Press Day service)

FL Paso, June 18.-Rumors that
AZ deposed Carranza officials have
been executed at San Alyuca are not
credited here. The men are missing,
but it is believed they are hiding.
Villa seemed today in complete con-
troll of the situation. 1t is announced
he will personally direct another at
tack on Zacatecas before Sunday. 1t
is understood he has personally su-
perseded Natera in command of the
army. 1t is believed Carranza has
agreed to this. The relations be-
tween the two are puzzling, but stu
dents of the situation say Villas re-
movals are political, and make no diff
ference in his relations to Carranza.
Juarez is quiet today. An Ameri-
can, arriving from Chihuahua City,
said there were no indications there
of split in the rebel ranks. Accord
ing to Saltillo messages, Carranza
has not yet acted on Villas resigna-
ton of the military command, and it
is doubtful if he will do SO.

Washington, June 18.-For the first
time since mediation negotiations be-
gan it is admitted today in admin

sible. Hope is not abandoned, but the
fact that the Mexican envoys have
made public their side of the case is
deemed unfavorable. 1t is not denied
that the break between Carranza and
Villa, which it is admitted has actu-
ally occurred, has furnished the HUI

the selection Of constitutionalist for
the provisional presidency.
