THE MEXICAN SITUATION
Washington May Yet Recognize
Provisional Ruler OF Mexico
Unless Villa Wins at Torreon

Washington, March Is. -President
Wilson and Provisional President
Huerta have decided, it is said, to
come to terms.
The Administration is convinced
that the treatment which it received
at the hands of the Constitutionalist
leader, Carranza. precludes his par
ticipation in the proposed peace
agreement.
The report that Huerta's confiden-
tial agent, Portilla Rojas, will confer
with Confidential Agent John Lind at
Vera Cruz was followed to-day by
the positive statement, from a source
of authority, that a new Mexican
Ambassador is expected to succeed
Charge d'Affaires Algara who rep
resented Mexico at Washington.
May Recognize Huerta
From these two facts it may be
stated positively that the President
and Huerta will within the next few
weeks reach a mutual understand
ing" which will include the recogni-
ton of the de facto government.
Huerta, it is stated, will take COM
mand of the Federal army, but will
resign from the presidency.
President Wilson will agree. it is
believed, to accept the successor
whom Huerta names.
Essential to the success of the plan
that the Administration is fostering
is the success of the Federal army at
Torreon, where a battle is expected
Immediately. At the War Depart
ment to-day it was learned that mill
tary advices indicate a Federal vic
tory.
Fear Rebel Victory
1t is feared that a victory by Car
ranza's band would lead to a further
complication. If Huerta wins he
may claim to have won control of
the situation for the present. This
would be sufficient excuse for the
suggestion of an armistice, providing
Huerta will leave the Presidency.
Governor Johnson of California to-
day urged that more troops be sen.
to protect the Americans along the
lower border line of California. The
protest, which referred to present
conditions as ''intolerable" was based
on the killing of American Post
master Johnston and the wounding
of his assistant, Werner Wieden-
beck, at Tecate.
