WEEK MAY SEE
HUERTA RULE END
Diplomat in Mexico City Pre-
diets Dire Happenings
When Dictator Flees.


Washington. July - While no def
mite information OF Huerta's intention
TO resign the Presidency. either to-
morrow or later in the week has been
received at the State Department, Off
Gals are prepared for the event. and
take considerable stock in the reports
being received from Vera Cruz that
this week will mark the end of the
Huerta regime. Officials, however. still
take into account the remarkable
tenacity of Huerta in clinging TO office,
and recall the numerous instances when
he has been reported on the eve of re-
firing.
The desire Of the government that
HUerts turn his provisional Presidency
over to some one with whom the Con-
stitutionalists will deal directly is made
ell the keener by a feeling OF certainty
that if the rebels are pushed TO taking
Mexico City by force there will ensue
4 reign Of terror which will bring
about international complications. if
for no other reason than that Euro
pean countries will demand protection
for their nationals in the capital.
A letter has been received in Wash
ington from a diplomat in Mexico City
which predicts dire happenings when
Huerta goes. Ii was written about the
time an effort was made to cut off the
city's electric light, and the dangers
81 a darkened city were emphasized.
This diplomat said that if Villas
troops entered the Mexican capital, or
possibly if they did not. it seemed
certain that there would be riots and
resultant looting, killing and outrages
Of other sorts.
No word has been received here as
10 Carranza's attitude toward Francisco
Carbajal. the Mexican Minister of For
eign Affairs. who. if Huerta gets out,
succeeds 70 the Presidency, but the
Cons:itutionalists OF Washington are
unanimous in expressing the belief that
Carranza will not stand for CarbaJal
at the head Of the government in Mex
leo City. which would be contrary to
the recently affirmed plan Of Guada-
lupe." They insist that the rebel plans
demand that a Constitutionallst take
control Of the government.
