SAYS RUMOR IS UNTRUE.
Mexican Embassy Denies Japan Is
Aiding Huerta.

The Mexican embassy has issued the
following statement in regard to reported
Japanese activities in Mexico:
AN effort is at present being made by
an important portion of the press of the
country to create the impression that the
Jauanese government has been affordins
moi only moral but material aid as well
10 the Mexican government by supplying
II with munitions of war.
While Mexico has long cultivated the
friendliest relations with Japan and her
people whom it holds in the very highest
admiration, the embassy is authorized to
state that the version is without a vestige
of truth.
The Mexican government, in spite of
the almost overwhelming odds against
which il has been contending. would NOT
stoop to accept the aid of foreign ma
tion. however friendly. in crushing the
revolt waged in the name of 'constitu-
tionalsm' against law and order. much

has not been supplying Huerta with arms
