Vera Cruz, May 5.-Every refugee
from the capital emphasizes reports
of a plot to overthrow Huerta hatch
ing at the capital. 1t is understood
the conspirators plan the seizure of
the city before the rebels arrive in
order to share in the fruits of vic
tory. General Jaminez Castro re-
ported that plans are made to seize
the army. Printed rumors of Ia
pata's declaration that he will attack
the city are regarded as settling the
reports that Zapata would join HUI
erta. Acting Foreign Minister Ruiz
wanted to resign Sunday, but Huerta
refused to accept.
Experts here estimate that Fun
ston will require $4,000 men to take
Mexico City, 10000 more to hold the
railroads and 10000 additional to con-
t;nue in possession of the country,
and another $4,000 in six months,
making a total of $4,000.

1t is the opinion Of people who have

that worry is habit and one to which
