HAVANA. July 1.-THE steamer Es-
payne. from Vera Cruz. Mexico, arrived

terror. and his family Joaquin MASS and
Mario Mass, nephews OF Gen. Huerta,
and their families and Adolfo de la Lama
the former Secretary OF the Treasury on
board The Moheno family will leave to-
morrow morning for Key West
Senior Moheno said the interview with
him sent out from Vera Cruz was correct,
except that the paragraphs about new
revolutions and other interventions were
slightly mixed. The ex-Secretary Of tho
Interior said President Huerta was the
most valiant man in the world. but the
worst man that could be selected for gov
erning a country.
Senior Moheno was asked IL there had
been any plan made for tho dismember
ment of Mexico. lie replied that such a
scheme had been started and he denounced
the plan when he was member OF the
House.
Senior Moheno said the United States
was working for control Of all the coun-
tries north OF Panama and that Mexico
presented the only serious obstacle to the
scheme American politicians. he de-
clared. were constantly working for this
result and also for control of the Straits
of Magellan. The C combination and
Cuba, he declared. made a grave error in
not seeing this from the first. II they had
understood the scheme and lent their mora
support TO Mexico the results would have
been different. Mexico however, was, he
said, the most military country on tn.
continent and the people would never toll
crate American occupation OF their father.

mediation amounted to nothing.

REBELS PLANS UNCHANGED.
Mcdintors' Plea That Mexico City
he spared Is Disregarded.

WARRINGTON, July l4,--Agents of the
Constituencies here to-day declared
that preparations for further campaigns
against the Huerta stronEholds IN south
ern Mexico are now under way and will
continue until Mexico city has been TAX. n
by force, or surrendered by Huerta or
CURED. II was said, to change the Con-
stltutionallsts' plan OF taking Mexico city.
Though tho mediators stu adhere 10
their conviction that the CoAstitutionalists
should be prevented from takns Mexico
city by force. there is no indication that
their Efforts to bring about a change of
attitude on the part of Carranza are
likely to bring about any results. The
Constitutionalists seem satisfied, after in
direct communication with Secretary
Bryan, that the United States will not
Interfere with the execution Of their
programme,
