United States.
Senor Moheno, who formerly was
minister Of commerce and labor in
President Huerta's cabinet, arrived
here yesterday on the Espagne from
Puerto Mexico and said he would not
go ashore during the liners stay, as
Vera Cruz was to him disa agreeable
spectacle under the existing conditions
Will Write TO Capital Revolt.
Senior Moheno also announced that
he would publish book explaining his
connection with Mexican political af-
fairs since the tragic ten days" and
also deliver lectures.
By these methods and thru inter-
views In the newspapers. he said. he
hoped to convince the American people
Of the enormity OF the "crime commit
ted not only by President Wilson but
by all the political factions In the
United States. regardless Of party"
In his denunciations Of President
Wilson Senor Moheno resorted to
much sarcasm. characterizing him as
'the puritan president"
Moossrs Foes Of Mexico?
Senior Moheno insisted that he was
in a position to produce proofs that
there existed a secret platform" of
tho progressive party in the United
States, Of which Col. Theodore Roose-
welt was cognizant and In which he
concurred. looking to the disruption of
Mexico and the acquisition ultimately
by the United States of all the terri
tory between the Rio Grande and
Panama.
Aioheno frankly admitted belief that
armed Intervention in Mexico finally
would come. He promised to reveal on
his arrival In New York the exact
method Of the killing, Of the late Presi-
dent Maderoe and Vice President Pine
Suarex.

continued. "Huerta did not give me a

and their coming Is inevitable.
In the first place do not fear them
because / am not a military man, and,
second. I have always befriended any
poor devil who was prosecuted by the
government. No crime Of that charac-
ter can be attributed to me, as it was
in the case OF Urrutia."
Senor Moheno said that he did not
agree with the opinion that the oil in
terests were responsible for the revo-
lutions in Mexico. On the contrary
he ascribed them to greater power
namely; the government itself, as di-
rected by its politicians.
Neither did Senor 'Moheno have any
hope, except Of the slightest nature.
that the overthrow Of Gen. Huerta by
the constitutionalists would be follow
ed by peace.
Mohsno Defends Bandit Zapata.
Since he left the Mexican capital
Senor Moheno appears to have become
frank in his admiration Of Emiliano
Zapata, the southern revolutionary
leader. He said Zapata was a much
misunderstood man. He declared Ia
pata to be simple Indian OF high
ideals and patriotic impulses. altho his
methods were somewhat barbarous.
Zapata would never yield, he assert
ed, to any government unless that gov
ernment agreed fully to his demands
for the surrender Of the lands Of More
los to him and his followers.
Predicts More Revolutions.
He added that he had no doubt the
victory of the northern revolutionists
would be succeeded almost Immediate
ly not only by a continuation Of the
Zapata revolt but by other revolts
headed by disappointed sub-chiefs Of
Carranza himself.
After the revolution he would return
to Mexico whether peace was restored
or not, he said, and would again play
his part in the effort to restore nor
NAL conditions.
