Huerta's Address AppIauded.
At the close of the reading OF

spectators broke into loud and con,
tinued applause.

resignation, one calling it weak sub
mission to the United States"
Two other deputies spoke for ac-

way to save the country.

General Huerta Leaves Capital.
General Huerta and General Blan-
quet left the capital Wednesday night.
They boarded train on the Mexican
Railway a few miles beyond the CITY.
1t is~thought they are going to Puerto
Mexico.
Before his departure, Huerta went
to the National Palace to pay his re-
spects to President Carbajal.
There was complete lack of disorder
In the city and the theaters and cafes
were crowded. The populace now is
hopeful that peace is in sight. HUI
erta's popularity apparently increased
greatly after his resignation, as the
Mexicans now look upon him as a good
loser.
Shortly after 8 o'clock General HUI.
erta, accompanied by a few friends
entered the French cafe, which he has
visited daily for a year or more, and
took his usual place near the entrance.
An immense crowd followed the ex-
president to the cafe, shouting "Vivas"
for him. Many shook him by the
hand, while others embraced him and
several kissed him on the cheek.
The stern old soldier was overcome,
and tears filled his eyes. He raised
his glass and said:
This will be my last toast to nv
favorte resort, and I drink to the
new president of Mexico"

MEXICO City. - General Vict0rian0
Huerta resigned from the provisional
presidency of the Mexican republic
wednesday night and his resignation
was accepted by the Senate and Cham
Der OF Deputies. Francisco Carbajal
then was appointed president and took
the oath of office.
President Carbaial proceeded to the
national palace under an escort of
presidential guards and all along the
way was greeted with tumultuous
cheering.
The text of General Huerta's resfg-
nation follows:
His Farewell Message.
Deputies and Senators-Public ne.
cessity, admitted by the Chamber of
Deputies, by the Senate and by the
Supreme Court, called me to the su.
preme magistracy of the republic.
Later, when in this same hall | had
the honor of addressing you in com,
pliance with the constitutional pre-
cept, | promised at all costs to bring
about peace.
Seventeen months have passed, and
in that brief period of time | have
formed an army with which to carry
out that solemn promise. You all know
the immense difficulties which my gov.
eminent has encountered owing to
scarcity of funds. as we'll as to the
manifest and decided protection which
a great power of this continent has af.
.. fored to the rebels-s0 much so that
n when the revolution has been broken
up, seeing that its chief leaders were
4 and continued to be, divided, the power
I'm question sought a pretext to inter,
vene directly in the conflict, and the
result of this was the outrage commit
ted at Vera Cruz by the American
fleet.
Success was had, as you know. in
adjusting honorably through our dele.
gates at Niagara Falls the petty Tam.
pco incident, but the revolution went
on with the support OF whom we all
know.
"Yet after the highly patriotic work
achieved by our delegates at Niagara
Falls, there still are some who say I,
come what may, seek my personal in.
terest and not that of the republic
And as need to rebut this allegation
with facts, tender my formal resigna-
ton Of the presidency of the republic.
"The national Congress must know
that the republic, through its govern
ment, has labored in entire good faith
and with the fullest energy, having
succeeded in doing away with the
party which in the United States calls
itself Democrat and having shown how
the right should be defended.
ITO be more explicit, will say that
the action Of the government of the re-
public during its short life has dealt
death blows to an unjust power. Later
on, stronger powers will come, using
implements that undoubtedly will end
the power which has done so much
harm and committed so many outrages
on this continent.

CARBAjAL NOT CONTENTIOUS
Advises United States He Is Ready
to Turn Government Over to Rebels

70 lurn Government Over to Rebels
Washington. - Francisco Carhai,,
successor to General Huerta as nro.
ylslonal president of Mexico, advised
the United States government in.
formally that he intends to retire in
favor OF General Carranza, the Consti.
nationalist chief. Mr.. Carbajal wishes
only that a general amnesty be pro.
claimed and protection given to tbe
property of those who oppose the Con.
stitutionalists.
From Monterey it was announced
that Carranza is willing to negotiate
with Carbajal relative to the trans.
fer OF authority at Mexico City. The
restoration of peace in Mexico is he.
lieved assured.
The views of Mr.. Carbajal were ex.
planned to Secretary Bryan by Jose
Castellot, former member of the Mex.
lean Senate, who received a person.
al telegram through the Mexican EN-.
bassy. The communication follows:
Il have just taken the oath of of.
flee as president of the'republic. Cen
erals Huerta and Banquet departed
tonight for Europe. I desire to make
1t known with emphasis that my only
purpose is to facilitate a solution Of
the grave problems which weigh upon
our country. have not the slightest
ambition for myself, and merely wish
to terminate the internal conflict Of
our country. Please give me your
Impressions OF the situation in Wash.
ingtOn."
(Signed) Francis Carbaial
Secretary Bryan told Mr.. Castel.
lot that while recognition would not
be accorded Carbajal, the United
States is amicabiy disposed toward
him.
To assume transfer of authority
without further bloodshed or disturb
ance, however, the American govern.
ment began to use its good offices
with General Carranza.
John R. Silliman, personal represen.
tative of President Wilson at Saltil.
10, was instructed to urge upon Gen.
eral Carranza, chief of the Constitu-
tionalists, that further fighting Is use
less on account Of willingness of the
Carbajal government to surrender its
authority. Carranza also was urged
to give guarantees for the lives and
property of those who had supported
Huerta.
The United States also made its DO.
sltlon clear with respect to recogni.
ton. Under the terms of a protocol
signed at Niagara Falls, recognition
will be extended to the government
resulting from an agreement between
the two Mexican factions. Should
Carranza consummate an agreement
with the commission of three Consti.
tutionalists sympathizers sent from
Mexico City by Mr.. Carbaial to dis.
cuss peace with him, the terms of the
Niagara Falls protocols Will have
been fulfilled.
If Carranza pushed his way nv
force into Mexico City, the American
government will withhold recognition
until an election is held to Indicate
whether the people approve Of the
new regime.
The American government, how.
ever, will delay recognizing the Con.
stitutionalist government until salts.
factory adjustment is made about
claims growing out of the revolution
and the American forces will not be
Withdrawn from Vera Cruz until ev.
cry difficulty has been adjusted.
