Vera Cruz. July l3.-To save his
country from the horrors of civil war
and MS capital from capture. and per-
hsps sack by victorious army, Cen
erai Huerta intends to resign the pro-
visional presidency and leave Mexico.
This statement was made Saturday
by Roberto Esteve-Ruiz. Mexican sub
secretary OF foreign affairs. who
reached Vera Cruz from Mexico City
on his way to Europe.
Huerta. he said, will surrender the
government to Francisco Carbaial, the
new minister of foreign affairs. who
in turn will step aside. when the time
comes, for some other provisional
president wholly acceptable to the
constitutionalists.
The President did not make me his
confidant.r he declared. nor did
have much time to talk with him aft
er it was determined that l should
leave tie cabinet"
He was convinced, however. that
Huerta would lay, down his power to-
day.
Carbajal. he added, was suggested
as provisional president by the Ameri-
can delegation at the Niagara Falls
mediation conference and agreed TO. by
Huerta's delegates and the South
American mediators. while the consti-
tutionaiists indirectly had conveyed
the idea that he would be acceptable
to Carranza.
Like Porfirio Diaz, who fled from
his country in the hope that his going
might avert a long and costly civil
war. Huerta. according to Esteva-Ruiz.
has decided to yield TO superior num-
bers. Both Huerta and General Blan-
Quet. his minister of war, knew that
longer resistance was futile and would
mean nothing more than the slaughter
of thousands and perhaps the sacking
of the capital itself with. perhaps hor-
rors perpetrated by a victorious army
Joined by mad mohs from the slums OF
the city
Esteva-Ruiz was frank in his express
sions of coubt regarding Villas future
attitude. Villa, he said. provided the
greatest problem before the new re-
gime
