Vera Cruz Hears Flight Report.


Vera Cruz.-An unconfirmed rumor
is in circulation that Gen. Victoriano
Huerta has fed from the City OF
Mexico.
The source of the report is not
known, but its force has excited the
highest army circles, and there is
much cabling and wireless reports to
the United States.
1t is said Gen. Huerta, accompanied
only by a few close and loyal friends,
left his home, and, after showing HIM
self in his familiar haunts. he got
aboard a train bound for the south.
1t is not known whether his car would
go to Puerto Mexico or Salina Cruz.
If Huerta goes to Puerto Mexico he
will find awaiting him the Ypiranga,
a German steamship which left Vera
Cruz for Puerto Mexico, where, it Is
stated, it had been ordered to pick
I'D trainload of German subjects who
were to leave the capital. The an
nouncement caused some comment,
because it was not known there were
enough Germans anxious to leave to
| fill a train.
Those who are placing faith in the
rumor say that the next announce
ment will be the accession of Aureli'
ano Banquet, minister of war, who
will at once make overtures for peace
to the rebels.
Querido Moheno also is leaving Mex
leo. That was the news brought here
when it was reported that the one
time minister of foreign relations ant
