HUERTA IS NOW
READY TO RESIGN
MEXICAN MEDIATION DELEGATES
AUTHORIZED TO SUBMIT HIS
RESIGNATION IF NECESSARY.
Mexican Dictator Assures His Repre-
sentatives He lie Prepared to stsp
Down Should This Course Be
Found Necessary

Washington General Huerta has
authorized the Mexican mediation del
egates to submit his resignation. in
case such course is found necessary
to a settlement in peace negotiations
This was stated positively in dis
patches on Monday from thoroughly
competent diplomatic source in Mex
leo City, to one of the foreign repre-
sentatives here and confirms intima-
lions given by friends of the delegates
here.
According to this information from
Mexico, General Huerta at first au-
thorized the delegates to discuss only
the question Of the Tampico conflict,
leading to the American occupation of
Vera Cruz. Later the Mexican die
tator, it is explained, came to recog-
nize the necessity of broader settle
ment and then conveyed to the dele
gates assurances that he was prepared
to step down should this course be
found necessary by them.
The problem causing chief concern
to diplomats in Mexico City now is
that of the form of administration to
be established during the interim be
fore a constitutionally elected presi
dent could assume office. No intima
tions concerning the name of pos
sible successor to Huerta were con
tanned in the dispatch, this subjecl
being one in which it would be neces
sary ITO consult the opinion of consti
tutionalists and other leaders in
4 Mexico.

NATIONS PLAN TO
RECOGNIZE REBELS
BRITISH ApMlRAL's CALL ON
GENERAL GONZALES THOUGHT
TO 81 SIGNIFICANT.
Regarded as Possible That United
States May Recognize Rebel Gov
eminent, Feeling That Huerta
Government 10 Doomed.

Washington 1T seems to be the
opinion of the state department that
the action of the British s1miral, Sir
Christopher Cradock, and his entire
staff, in making formal call on the
constituencies general, Gonzales,
may be regarded as a recognition by
Great Britain of the belligerency OF
the constitutionalists. A similar step
on the part Of the United States is
expected, BY some people, within a
few days.
The failure Of Huerta to explain
the fate of Consul Silliman, Core
spondent Doster and Private Parks
has brought about situation so acute
that orders for the embarkation of
more troops at Galveston for Vera
Cruz are expected at any moment.
The probable recognition by Great
Britain of the belligerency of the con
stitutionalists is of great significance,
particularly in view of the fact that
Greta Britain was one of the foreign
nations to recognize Huerta in the
first instance.
The loss of Tampico and Tuxpam,
the latter being credited as reliable
news, makes 1t all the more useless
in the view of advisers of the presi
dent, for Huerta to endeavor to tenn
porize by suggesting terms to the
United States.

COLORADO MUST
MAINTAIN PEACE
PRESIDENT NOTIFIES GOVERNOR
THAT FEDERAL TROOPS WILL
BE WITHDRAWN SOON.
Governor Ammons Expresses Conf
dence That as soon as Funds Are
Available the state VIII be Able
to Control Situation.

Denver.-President Wilson has
served notice on Governor Ammons
that the state Of Colorado must be
prepared to maintain peace in the
coal miners strike districts without
federal aid. The president said that
federals troops would remain in the
troubled districts only until the state
of Colorado has time and opportunity
to resume complete sovereignty and
control"
Il cannot conceive that the state
is to forego her sovereignty or to
throw herself entirely upon the gov
eminent of the United States" said
President Wilson.
In response Governor Ammons te1e-
graphed the president ON Saturday,
pointing out that an extra session of
the legislature, just adjourned, had
provided $1,OO0,0O0 bond issue to
cover past and future expenses of
the state militia. The governor ex-
pressed confidence as soon as these
funds are available the state would
be able to control the situation.
/
The Colorado coal mine districts,
where approximately 5000 miners
have been on strike since September
% last, have been under virtual
martial law for months and have
been guarded by United States cav.
airy for about three weeks. Previous
to the arrival Of federal troops the
miners were guarded by the state
militia. It was during the eontro
by the militia that riots and battles
between strikers and mine guards
broke out, After the militia ant
strikers participated in the battle and
fire at the miners tent colony at Lud
low on April 20. when twenty.one PEG
pie were killed and after other seri
Gus conflicts, the militia was replaced
by fec erals troops.
or the $i,00O,oo0 provided by tht
bond issue referred to by Governor
Ammons in his message to the presi
dent $691,0O0 already has been spen
in past expenses of the militia.

Vera Cruz, declaring that unless in

The American government cabled
the Brazilian minister to inform the
Huerta government OF the strong
feeling of the United States, directing
him to make vigorous representations
concerning the incident.
The note asked the minister to pro

TON is cRUMBLING AND NEW
PRESIDENT MUST BE CHOSEN.
Are Most vitality Interested In Guar
antee Against the Possible confis-
cation of Property by the Invad-
ing constitutionallsts.

Wlashington-The peace delegates
from Mexico are confident of the sue
cess Of their mission, which, 1t is
learned, is the broad question Of paci-
flying all of Mexico.
The three Mexican ENJOYS have lit
tie idea how long the arrangement OF
a settlement will keep them at Mag
ara Falls, but they are confident their
trip will not be in vain. The Mexican
delegates are said to realize that the
present administration in Mexico
City is fast crumbling and that the
choice of some one to succeed Huerta
is inevitable.
But conceding the retirement of
Huerta, the delegates are said to be
most interested in the vital question
Of what is to follow, what guarantees
are to be obtained against the posi-.
Bile confiscation of property by the in
vading constitutionalists, protection
against conditions of anarchy and
what kind of government viii be
stable and will obtain worldwide rec
ignition
On the other hand those close tc
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
assert that the question which is to b.
mediated is no longer the failure o
Huerta to salute, or the offenses com
mitted against the dignity of the Unit
ed States, but the broad question o
pacifying Mexico.
Persons close to the Mexican dele
gates emphasized that the three mel
who will represent the Huerta govern
ments are not Huertaistas or the req
resentatives of any group of persons
but are representatives of the bes
interests of the people in the terri
tory controlled by the federals.
Although technically the delegate
are dealing with an internationa
questionable differences which aros
with the United States out of tn
Tampico incident privately they at
NIT that before them is the problel
of the actual paciflcation of Mexico.
